| Shrek Member since: Aug 13, 2019 Threads: 6 Posts: 1635 | You really need to do your homework before you write stuff like this. Let old Shreky Shrek educate you: Did you see that? We looked into buying Greenland IN 1867 and again IN 1946. And nobody said "WTF! This is insane! We jumped the shark!" 🙄 I also encourage you to read up on Thomas Jefferson. He bought the territory of Louisiana from France in 1803. Again nobody said "WTF! This is insane to buy Louisiana! Thomas Jefferson jumped the shark!" 🙄🙄 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louisiana_Purchase |

Thomas Jefferson - smart move 1867 and 1946, a whole different era Buying Greenland today, that's just dumb. Its not even a left wing or right wing issue. Its just a dumb issue. Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

| Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25011 | This was the 5 year anniversary of Ferguson this week. Anybody hear Kamala Harris and Fauxcahantos talk about how the cop murdered Michael Brown? When both Obama's justice dept and the FBI completely exonerated the cop from any wrong doing? The kid was wrestling the cop trying to get his gun, And these race baiting women want to be president? I hope Trump gets to debate one of them and brings this up to a national audience. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Trump has an 18 wheeler full of baggage to point at, and you think anyone besides a Trump voter cares about the few things he can talk about on his opponents? You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

Greenland has less than 60000 population. Sorry, but at that level you do not get to be a state. The President is a fink. |

Nowhere in the Constitution does it say anything of the sort. Serious question: if Obama had suggested that the US purchase Greenland, would you ridicule the idea? You're letting your admiration of Trump cloud your judgement of what constitutes good policy vs. bad policy. |

Nah, he jumped the shark when he suggested that Ted Cruz's dad was mixed up in the murder of JFK. |

Constitution lets congress set qualifications for statehood. Smallest states are about 500K, Greenland would be 1/10 as large. No reason for it to be a state in any case, can be a territory. Guam does just fine, as do places like American Samoa. Why do we assume it would be a state? If Obama suggested it I would be in favor, though he would never suggest the USA acquire more territory. The President is a fink. |
