Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Summary

Trump stated the U.S. will "go as far as we have to go" to gain control of Greenland, citing national and international security needs.

JD Vance will visit Greenland’s Pituffik military base, scaling back a broader visit amid backlash from Greenland and Denmark.

Greenlandic Prime Minister Mute Egede condemned the move as "aggressive pressure" and insisted that "Greenland belongs to the Greenlanders."

Trump has repeatedly expressed interest in acquiring Greenland, asserting that U.S. control is essential for security.

Anyone who didn't vote is especially responsible.

Fucking dumbasses that they are.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 days ago

I literally can't tell the difference between the parties still. /s

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Anyone who sits on their ass at this news is complicit. We are reaching the points where not standing up is in fact approval for the regime and their actions

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Anyone who let this happen is complicit.

If you didn't vote, you're a fucking idiot who doesn't understand externalities.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

There's that lack of nuance again.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

According to you apparently yes but you're a self avowed bigot so how much does your opinion matter really?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Like I said you can't win the argument so you default to bullying like a child or an idiot, you choose.

Well you're continuing the conversation but not adding anything but insults. If you have a different version of why you would do such a thing id love to hear it but I imagine you're going to blame me and ~~such~~ ditch responsibility for what you say

[–] [email protected] 0 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

I'd imagine life is quite difficult for you.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

There you go again, you're just tossing insults being a general asshole for no particular reason.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I mean, seriously, it's gotta be.

Just automatically assuming the worst has to be tiring at the very least.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 27 minutes ago

Ya huh, certainly you have some benevolent reason to keep insulting me but not saying anything about the actual subject. Like I said I'd love to hear it so out with it already or go away.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago (3 children)

Or felons or disenfranchised for some reason it another.

Chill, some people have reasons and maybe they aren't all worse then actual fascists. I'd say likely most aren't but dehumanization is also fun though I guess.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 days ago (1 children)

We all knew where this was going.

Those who didn't vote based on some sort of moral principle were dumb enough to not realize they would make whatever those issues were 1000 times worse.

Hope they're happy with people being disappeared off the streets.

[–] [email protected] -5 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Sure.

Yeah that doesn't magically make them not disenfranchised felons, voting would just be committing a fairly serious crime.

That's fucked up Nazi shit bud.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Oh geez, you can act like that's what I'm saying, but it's not.

Nice try though? Whatever it takes to make you feel less bad about your decisions.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 4 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

It's literally what you said and doubled down on bud.

Ed: I didn't choose to be a felon nor in fact do most people but you don't seem to even be reading what I'm saying because you're still assuming it's a choice. You're a bigot.

Fucking dumbasses that they are.

Excuse me for missing that finally refined nuance.

Everyone named plastic/ramses is a complete moron.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Everyone named plastic/ramses is a complete moron

Well that's great because my username isn't that lol

Also, only a complete moron would assume I'm blaming people who cannot vote because it is illegal.

I'm blaming people like you, who would rather get bogged down in semantics than understand that Trump was much worse than whatever thing they blamed kamala for.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

You know what I meant and you're not denying it.

I'm glad we agree you're a complete moron.

I'm a disenfranchised felon dipshit, you're tanking your argument with that alone.

Ed: nice to know you jumped straight to assuming I didn't vote and moreover that I didn't do it for moral reasons thus pricing my point that you know no nuance you're just a fuckin bigot.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Since were talking about nuance - I said people like you, not you specifically, cupcake :)

[–] [email protected] -1 points 3 days ago

Yeah that's not nuance that's an idiot that doesn't understand conversational logic.

If I say assholes like you I'm also calling you an asshole.

[–] Auli 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

What reasons because of Gaza? Yah how did that turn out seems one option was worse then the other.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 4 days ago

I already said there are reasons people couldn't vote that are beyond their control like felon disenfranchisement.

You understand reasons exist beyond ideological ones correct?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

nobodies talking about people that lost the right to vote. chill.

[–] [email protected] -2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (2 children)

They didn't add any nuance and they doubled down, why would I think more or less than what is said.

Ed: >Anyone who didn't vote is especially responsible.

Fucking dumbasses that they are.

Where's the exception, where's the nuance? Oh then maybe be like oh shit sorry I could be more clear, instead of "that's not what I said" which is factually incorrect.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

The irony of someone asking where the nuance is and immediately diving for the worst possible interpretation is truly amazing 😂😂😂

I can only assume you didn't vote and feel guilty due to your need to deflect.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

That's not irony boss.

Ed: also we've went over this already but you're either too dumb to remember or conveniently forgetting. I'm a disenfranchised voter and you're just a bigot.
