Greenland Would Be the Largest U.S. Land Acquisition, if Trump Got His Way

Oh, good. So this is just like a normal thing then.

Greenland Would Be the Largest U.S. Land Acquisition, if Trump Got His Way

Denmark does not want to sell its territory. But for a real estate mogul turned president, the world’s largest island may be irresistible.

Shut the f**k up and go sit down, what part of NO don’t you understand? Treat him like the bully he is.

I was taught by my parents, teachers and other authority figures in my life not to give in to bullies but to stand your ground and call them out. Take their perceived power away.

Saying it's a Land Acquisition gives it credence, why repeat that here?

Today is Malcolm Nance day on freespeechtv.org, I wish people would watch today and see how Malcolm talks about an invasion of Greenland. We are like parrots that repeat what the right wants us to repeat. Post a right wing talking point and then just say, this is bad.

Malcolm Nance - 2028 - President.
