Trump also told the Times that he isn’t opposed to using nuclear force if he “needed it” to take over the Arctic island but that “it might upset NATO," since the island is a self-governing territory of NATO member country Denmark.

    My psychiatrist gave me a prescription for an emotional support Greenland, legally you aren’t even allowed to ask me about it other than if it’s an emotional support Greenland, which it is.

    Ummm… what? Did the media just sane wash this headline? Trump is ok with nuking his way into owning Greenland and we’re just all ok with that?

    Honestly a little impressed he’s able to use the word ‘psychologically’. That’s a lot of syllables.

        *He is the rapist.

        Correct.

        I think the thing people didn’t put together in 2016 his “grab them by the pussy” comment was about children in his beauty pageants.

            I think between that and stormy daniels people didn’t clock exactly how fucked up Trump was.

              Wait, is there something especially fucked up about his affair with Stormy Daniels beyond run-of-the-mill adultery and prostitution?

          No, it wasn’t. It was during an interview with an Access Hollywood reporter as he was preparing for his guest appearance on the soap opera Days of Our Lives. He was joking about Arianne Zucker, an actress that he was about to meet.

          Still disgusting and inexcusable language.

            “Them” is clearly referring to a general attitude toward women and girls here but people clocked it as about adults for exactly the reason you mentioned but its clear in the wider context of trump he meant far more than that.

              Ah, I see. I had interpreted your original comment in the narrower context of the quote, but I see what you mean.

    I understand he is trying to destroy America, but this would make it nearly instant.

      Nah, the US is well-accustomed to handling that sort of thing, done it dozens of times already. What is different is that now it’s imperialistic violence against a purported ally, a NATO country. If he invades, this will certainly have knock-on effects later, and I hope it leads to the destruction of the US as a global power eventually - that would be at least one silver lining.

      It’s similar to how his admin is using the genocidal violence usually designated for poor global south countries, at home, on US citizens. Same tactics, different targets.

    Seeing him hang from the neck is psychologically important to me, but I guess we can’t always get what we want.
