It is real!

Rep. Earl L. “Buddy” Carter (R-GA) released the following statement today after introducing a bill authorizing President Trump to acquire Greenland and renaming it Red, White, and Blueland:

“America is back and will soon be bigger than ever with the addition of Red, White, and Blueland. President Trump has correctly identified the purchase of what is now Greenland as a national security priority, and we will proudly welcome its people to join the freest nation to ever exist when our Negotiator-in-Chief inks this monumental deal.”

I know exactly who it is.

Actually, I'm just going to accuse the one person I know that will be the most upset about me calling him out as Trump.

Right, but this is the reality that runs on jokes, so you can't do that!

You know what would be just hilarious? A land of peace, wellness, and equality.

Careful that you don't wake the dark ones sleeping in the abyss.
