    In 1898 they annexed Hawaii by a joint resolution of Congress, after some business goons and Marines overthrew the Queen of Hawaii in 1893 and a few years of negotiations. The Hawaiians by majority did not want to be annexed.

    Greenland is a territory of Denmark, a member of NATO, and they also don’t want to be annexed so this is a bit different. Congress should vote to not go to war with NATO.

    That’s a stupid ass name. Everything with these people is stupid. The only reason Trump is doing this is to get the USA out of NATO for Putin. The reason he works for Putin is because Putin has some very compromising pictures and videos of Trump, involving children and possibly pee

    So if they’re going to be a state, do they realize that they would be a blue state by default? Like, they would make California look like a red state.

    And the rebellion there would cause need for millitary action. Which they would lose. This would be like vietnam, except you just forced them to have legal rights within your own government.

      It doesn’t matter if it’s a blue or a red state if there aren’t any more elections because they’ve been suspended because of war with, say, NATO.

    American law name: Sunshine, Happiness, and Rainbows Act

    American law contents: There will be a $500 tax to look at a rainbow and the President is authorised to sell exclusive rights to sunshine at an auction to tech bros. Happiness is now a controlled substance and illegal possession of it without a prescription is now punishable by 30 years imprisonment. Also, strawberry ice cream is now banned, $50 million for a bridge in Indiana, and the salary of the Deputy Archivist is increased by 6% starting next fiscal year.

    Please let me suck your orange cock harder, daddy Trump! As an additional kink: only the poor kids will have to face death from combat.

    -Representative Randy Fine (R-Fla.)

    Every day it feels like Republicans are trying to speed run to guillotines.

    Has anyone told these morons that there’s a U.S. base on Greenland?

    What are they going to do have Delta Force go in and kidnap the President of the Space Force?

      Our Representatives don’t care what its district wants. They only care what their donors think.

        Do you always give up so easily? By the way in English it’s “Our Representatives don’t care what their constituents want.” It’s funny to me how many trolly folks there are around here, posting discouraging nonsense. Have a nice day.

      It is literally just the bill that was introduced, directly from the site of the senator that introduced it.

      Any news organization or third party source is gonna be pulling from this exact same source, because that’s how all bills are initially found out about.

        Didn’t realise it was a bill. The news has me on edge, and I saw red. Wish someone would do the right thing for once.

            People in general suck, they really do. I meant the news is shit and there is evil going around, and all the responses is more evil actions, in the world. Woman gets murdered in the open, and ICE starts door to door and increasing efforts as the murderer goes into witness protection. Meanwhile the governor says some words and warns, but does no actions, allowing the evil to continue marching. No one is doing anything to stop this fascism. And on top of that, misinterpretations on the internet is still king of perception.

      Deliberate ignorance only makes you weaker. They are linking the source so you can look and make your own opinions.
