It is real!

Rep. Earl L. “Buddy” Carter (R-GA) released the following statement today after introducing a bill authorizing President Trump to acquire Greenland and renaming it Red, White, and Blueland:

“America is back and will soon be bigger than ever with the addition of Red, White, and Blueland. President Trump has correctly identified the purchase of what is now Greenland as a national security priority, and we will proudly welcome its people to join the freest nation to ever exist when our Negotiator-in-Chief inks this monumental deal.”

        Unfortunately Lemmy.world seems full of the ‘reddit mod’ types that (IMHO) eventually made reddit such a shit hole.

        Maybe they’ll just die off? Probably not - pretty safe in their basements.

        Edit: OOOOOH! let’s see if they ban me for inciting violence or some fucking stupid reason. That’d be on brand.

    Every other country should unanimously vote to call the USA something stupid since apparently countries can just rename other countries

    The EU should come together and rename USA as “Lalaland”. Since that’s apparently a thing countries do now?

      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.

      My partner and I moved into an eco village and are going to buy chickens this summer. Blew my mind to learn a live chicken only costs $75

        I can buy chicks from the tractor supply a half mile from my house for $4.99 a piece. They have multiple breeds there too. Been contemplating that investment for awhile…

          You should go for it, raising chickens is surprisingly easy and they are a hoot to watch frolicking around your yard.

          However, fuck Tractor Supply for rolling back their DEI initiatives Search for local hatcheries to buy your chicks. Last spring, I bought ten pre-sexed female chicks (which, admittedly comes with the ethical concerns of what they do with the males) of random “designer” breeds for only $95 including shipping.

            What kinds of designers? We had some designer chickens, they were delightful.

              Right now we have three orpingtons, two brahma, one cochin, three golden comets, two marans, two plymouth rock, one silkie bantam, two sussex, and one wyandotte.

              I had more bantams but they are really really good jumpers because they’re so small and light, they can nearly fly, and they would insist on roosting in a tree… Their steadfast refusal to come in at night ended in their demise.

    Cool. Just renamed my apartment “The REAL United States of America”. Every room is now a new state. The guest bathroom is obviously “New Ohio”. There. See how much that lowered egg prices?

    Now they’re just trying to distract us from the actual dangerous shit they’re doing behind the scenes. Don’t fall for it!

    This is what our elected representatives believe is important. This is what they are wasting our tax dollars on. Burn it all down.
