    People thought buying Alaska was a bad idea, too.

    Seward's Icebox is where I live, and it paid for its own purchase in just a couple decades.

    For those who are interested in continuing the trolling.

    Interestingly, people in countries who enforce their immigration laws far more firmly than we do ours will nevertheless criticize the United States for enforcing its borders. Similarly, countries with high tariffs on U.S. products act as if Trump is way out of line when he threatens to impose tariffs on their products. Sadly, there are Americans (including some who, for some reason, register as Republicans) who agree.

    The reason for this nonsense is, of course, an easy one -- the media. No matter how much or how often they lie to us, there will still be large numbers of people who still believe the BS. You can count on the media--and their controllers in the Democrat Party--to take sides against United States interests every time.

    Crazy microaggression going on from the left. I've noticed a big effort to claim Trump is a warmonger with no respect for human life. Also wild projection of failing health and mental faculties.



    It is really painful trying to sit through the tub-thumping going on to whip TDS flames higher too.

    The political Left has been on the wrong side of pretty much everything for quite some time now so when I hear them complaining, I feel assured that we're on the right track finally.

    A similar proposal but with a different structure. Walsh's counter to give the population of California, Oregon, and Washington could work if Americans had a option. Those who want to live without gun rights but with free healthcare that you have to stand in line for could move there if they paid the back taxes they would owe to support their system. Those who wanted to live with gun rights and our less than optimum health care could stay where they are.

    I guess it was the Premier of Ontario who wanted Minnesota, not a member of Parliament.

    Trump didn't do that either. That is why they tried to keep the tapes of the events hidden from the public.

    Maybe so, but even then it was a "purchase," not a military threat.

    As I recall, Trump suggested buying Iceland, or was it Greenland? The interviewer interjected the military threat, and Trump said he wouldn't rule anything out.

    If we had Greenland, we probably wouldn't need Iceland. Iceland has many times the population of Greenland--about 6-7 times--and Iceland has all those damned volcanoes that could mess thing up badly.

    We'll be lucky if we can keep the nation.

    I saw a suggestion that Greenland should be renamed Mar-a-Igloo ;)

    I have not heard anything about President Trump acquiring Iceland, just Greenland. Donald Trump Jr. and Charlie Kirk have been in Greenland the last few days, and apparently the people there hate being controlled by Denmark, and the Danes do not like the people from Greenland.
    Charlie Kirk also said that there is a lot of valuable minerals up there, as well as precious stones, and Denmark will not let them be mined. There are rubies the size of a baseball, just lying around; so there is a LOT of wealth there, that could help both America and the Greenlanders , if mined properly.

    The main reason for acquiring Greenland is for national security, because if we do not do it, either Russia or China is going to take it away from Denmark, and Greenland is a strategic military point.
    We not only have large prison facilities there, where we keep high security prisoners, we also have the Space Force military base , where we are on the alert for any kind of missile attacks, and we do NOT want to lose either one of those.
    So, acquiring Greenland is not just a frivolous thing, it is an important move for our safety and our economy.

    Sometimes I think what Trump says is just to rile the libs up and distract them, while the new admin go to work on cleaning the mess up. It also keeps the media busy chasing their tails to post false information making them look even more ridiculous and unbelievable. I hope so anyway. No one knows what to believe anymore.:confused:
