I honestly assumed the Dems wouldn't fuck the pooch so hard they lost control of literally everything, and we'd get four years of slightly worse status quo as they try to run everything through the SC for a rubber stamp

🤷‍♂️

This has to be ragebait cover for something else, right?

It is standard political procedure. Watch for what other bills and policies are being put on the table that would undermine the working and middle class. The point of all this, is to tire the public from all the farcical news, while the real news is behind closed doors being ironed out.

It's bait for the media (and everyone else) so they have something funny to feed their audience and can pretend it's just silly nonsense while ignoring the part that authorizes the "President" to acquire Greenland.

I want to agree, but these people wore diapers for him. The only further absurdity is the war over it for the minerals and arctic claim under the guise of national security.

It’s rage bait to hide a real enemy to the rest of us.

They care about money. If they don't go alone with it they probably get fined. So yeah, I think they will.

And it's not uncommon. Lots of countries don't call other countries by their names. Japan is Nihon. China is Zhōngguó. Germany is Deutschland.

But those are for historical reasons, changing it specifically to be different is nuts.

If all AOC had to do was rebrand it to the Red White and Blue New Deal to get Republicans on board, I'm going to have an aneurysm.

This nonsensical stunt is the political equivalent of jingling keys in front of a baby.

Dumbfuckistan, I say this as an American....it's gotten so childish here.

Or they should start viewing America as a rogue nation bent on taking the land of others. 👀

I mean countries have always done that, just not quite this stupid but also often very stupid. People in Japan call their country Nippon, not Japan. People in Germany call their country Deutschland. There's a ton of countries that English just straight up changed the names of for reasons varying from some form of probable racism to misunderstanding that they never bothered resolving.

I'm not defending this move, it's dumb as hell. Just pointing out that "dumb as hell" isn't new.

"Here be orange goblin"

don't worry, soon nobody will be able to do anything financially and you'll be free to raid and steal anything you need if you're not afraid to get killed for it.

land if the free (to kill minorities and commies) home of the brave (snowflake Nazi terrorists)

Every American. The rest of us just watch in horror, wondering why the adults in the room don't do something.

Where are these people that are starting to see this? The morons that voted for Trump are ecstatic with these distractions.

There was a discussion recently on reddit and basically almost everyone agreed that the Republicans in their circles don't see anything wrong with what the government is doing, Musk and all.
