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.”
the freest nation to ever exist
No one actually believes this, right?
Removed by mod
As an autistic person, I wholeheartedly agree.
I fucking love the modlog on Lemmy.
Removed indeed!
That was very tame and it got deleted, wow.
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.

What did it say? I’m getting really frustrated with the overboard responses from moderators recently. I left reddit in no small part because of this. Pig boy was just the last straw.
I am right now drunkenly trying to get permabanned by these ridiculous mods that prefer civility to real discourse and telling Nazis to get fuck up the ass.
I’m tired of being civil with these fucks, I’m tired of worrying if me telling a Nazi to get fucked up the ass is going to upset anyone’s snowflake feelings.
Guys, we’re FUCKED. If you’re not mad, you need to get MAD. FUCKING MAD. THEY’RE STEALING OUR NATION FROM US AND A THIRD OF EVERYONE THINKS ITS AWESOME.
FUCKING PREACH.
Sober me stands by drunk me’s message.
WHAT ABOUT MY FUCKING EGG PRICES YOU GERIATRIC FUCK?!?!
“He isn’t paying attention to the jingly keys.”
“Find something more-outrageous to say. We’ll get there.”
I’m sorry, eggs come from female chickens, and any talk of that particular F-word is strictly forbidden.
I give it another 2 weeks before they start saying that omelets are just chicken abortions.
Fork this bullshut
Ooohhh! Thank you for these!
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.
Everyone in my family is for it, as long as I’m the one that takes care of their end of life… that has been why I haven’t gone through with it yet lol
It is so hard when you lose one of the flock, and foxes, weasels, raccoons, whatever predators are in your area can smell them for miles and will snatch one eventually. But, for all the sobbing beside a pile of feathers I have done, I still wholeheartedly recommend that you go for it!
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.
Oh dear, for the banties! Silkies, sizzles and frizzles are so cuddly. Had a
coopercopper maran that was my baby, though. I really miss them all, except the mean Rhode Island bully. Enjoy your babies, they are smart and loyal.Autocorrect is so fun!
I get them from the farm lady down the street for like twelve bucks, she even let’s me pick out the one I want, who sold you a single chicken for $75? Shame on them.
I neglected to mention in the comment that the chickens I’m looking at are of the Ayam Cemani breed, which are pure black, including their organs. They’re pretty coveted, so I was surprised that even those are very cheap!
Oh yeah that’s a great deal for one of those hahah
Have a great day and a wonderful life with your cool bird
Xx
I saw someone on the German equivalent to Craigslist selling a rooster for 5€ today. Said they had three home grown roosters and that’s too many. It’s a full grown rooster. I am both surprised that this is so cheap and that it’s legal to just sell roosters like a second hand iPod.
Wait until you supplement feeding and have to worm them.
Tbh, feeding them is cheap if you supply them with table scraps. They’re basically feathered pigs.
That’s true. We had a lot of chickens a long time ago, not enough table scraps, though. We kept them penned most of the time for their protection from natural predators, including our cat.
Chickens are simple easy and cheap. Source: I own chickens and it’s not the first time
30 dozen eggs a month for ~$18 per month. (Is my current set up). Initial investment is really all, which isn’t high if you have scrap wood laying around somewhere
We had a lot of chickens at one time, they got expensive for reasons I mentioned. But we had a lot, of varying different kinds.
Stonks!
- egg companies
Best I can do is a new global pandemic. But with no public information from Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and without working with the World Health Organization.
They. Don’t. fucking. Care.
Not blasting you, just a reminder for all of us. This was the end goal of a nationwide unified propaganda apparatus (Fox News, etc), pretending to work in the interests of workers, stealing Supreme Court seats, stoking hate/division, and implementing Project 2025. It worked. They have all 3 branches of government, are deleting knowledge and resources, decimating Congress-approved departments they don’t like, deleting knowledge and resources, and wiping their asses with the Constitution they ignore. It’s still worth resisting and fighting them every step of the way to fascism,I just hope it will be enough…
Dammit!
I said this as a joke nearly a month ago on Discord.
all i get from this is that Donald Trump is in your discord server and stole your idea
I know exactly who it is.
Actually, I’m just going to accuse the one person I know that will be the most upset about me calling him out as Trump.
Well, we’re definitely gonna need to see this now.
Right, but this is the reality that runs on jokes, so you can’t do that!
I willed this into existence.
Careful that you don’t wake the dark ones sleeping in the abyss.
You know what would be just hilarious? A land of peace, wellness, and equality.
Nice job
Now they’re just trying to distract us from the actual dangerous shit they’re doing behind the scenes. Don’t fall for it!
“now”
Fine, I’ll say it: I’m starting to think some of these fellas might be up to no good.
Let’s not jump to conclusions. Maybe give him another decade or so
Trump given power
No, he hasn’t. Congress hasn’t passed it – it’s just been introduced as a bill.
One House Representative introduced it and then released the statement.
Sorry about the source. The title is misleading.
Sure, not saying that you’re at fault or anything.
It doesn’t matter. The US as a whole has no authority to decide what places outside of its territory are called. Sure, you can change what you call it, but the rest of the world won’t.
I mean, the bill isn’t going to pass, but it’s proposing buying it and then renaming it.
Anymore, I wouldn’t have that much confidence in something not passing no matter how batshit it is
Truly this will make eggs cheaper
Oh my fucking God. Holy sweet fucking Lord in heaven. Jesus fucking Christ. I’m already done.
And here we are; all thinking that we are in the dumbest timeline. Turns out, we are all right about that.
Let’s see how dumb this timeline will get.
Can I stick a fork in you?
Me too… and I’m not even a Yank.
It fucking pisses me off so much seeing the thick, orange, cunt-in-chief on our news day after fucking day talking absolute bollocks on the news…
Red, White, and Blueland
Does this mean France, and Russia, and every other country with those colors in their flags also have claims to that land?
Sure, whatever. We’re living in the clown timeline anyway.
hey be nice to the clowns this timeline is worse
I’m sure he is just referencing Norway which originally claimed the land before “somehow” Denmark got it, right?
Every other country should unanimously vote to call the USA something stupid since apparently countries can just rename other countries
Dumbfuckistan, I say this as an American…it’s gotten so childish here.
Let me know when they make a flag for Dumbfuckistan and I will fly that shit.
I’m picturing the US flag but instead of stars it’s corporate logos.

I was fully expecting a 4:33 here.
The founding fathers would be disgusted at such an unlettered (read illiterate) individual taking over the country.
I mean countries have always done that, just not quite this stupid but also often very stupid. People in Japan call their country Nippon, not Japan. People in Germany call their country Deutschland. There’s a ton of countries that English just straight up changed the names of for reasons varying from some form of probable racism to misunderstanding that they never bothered resolving.
I’m not defending this move, it’s dumb as hell. Just pointing out that “dumb as hell” isn’t new.
In French Deutschland is Allemagne because of some random tribe we named for how they said everybody.
I’m pretty sure we just sent some half deaf guy to Asia too. And that’s how Nippon became Japon, Beijing became Pekin, etc.
Amyways, exonyms are cringe.
You mean that?
“Here be orange goblin”
Or they should start viewing America as a rogue nation bent on taking the land of others. 👀
I mean if they do that then they’re late to the party. He’s been doing talking about doing it since day 1
America has been doing it since day 1. lol
identified the purchase of what is now Greenland as a national security priority
This is no joke and he’s going to start taking land. He’s serious about Canada too.
Fuck everyone in advance who buys the security angle.
Nazi shit shined with a US flag and it’s ok with the USA.
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?
Your apartment has 50 rooms?! I’m guessing the bathrooms are our territories?
Red + Blue = Purple + White = … Lilac?
Lilacland?
Tbh that’s a really cute name.
PELHAM — For more than 30 years, lilac lovers from all over New England have traveled to Pelham to witness scores of lilac bushes in full bloom each spring.
Lilacland, created by Mabel and Al Lumley and run today by their son, James Lumley, features some 200 varieties of lilacs on about four acres of picturesque property.
There is no fee for visitors. On occasion, he has plants potted for sale.
In addition, Lumley is an artist, and has a gallery on the property, which features many of his prints of the property’s lilacs. He does not sell his artwork, but the gallery is usually open on the weekends and late afternoons/evenings for viewing.
Huh.
Love lilacs, nh has a good amount
I bet they have a lot of Lilacs there, we should go
The geopolitical fanfiction writes itself. Renaming Greenland like some corporate rebrand desperate to distract from melting assets – national security theater now starring spray-painted glaciers. The cognitive contortions needed to frame territorial karaoke as “strategic expansion” would earn Olympic gold in mental gymnastics.
They’ve upgraded from labeling dissenters “anti-American” to legislating cartographic fanfic. Six-month bureaucratic deadlines for rewriting maps? Peak legislative productivity achieved while infrastructure crumbles and healthcare implodes. At least the Sharpie industry thrives.
Denmark’s diplomatic eye-roll echoes through the performative patriotism. Soft power evolves into PowerPoint jingoism – why address rising seas when you can rename them? The real climate action? Mandating all future hurricanes adopt surnames from Founding Fathers. Priorities, people.
This has to be ragebait cover for something else, right?
Like even the dimmest, least self aware, MAGA-hat-wearing dumbass would feel embarrassed to say “Red, White, and Blueland” out loud.
Right???
No, they would not.
I want to agree, but these people wore diapers for him. The only further absurdity is the war over it for the minerals and arctic claim under the guise of national security.
It’s rage bait to hide a real enemy to the rest of us.
It’s bait for the media (and everyone else) so they have something funny to feed their audience and can pretend it’s just silly nonsense while ignoring the part that authorizes the “President” to acquire Greenland.
This has to be ragebait cover for something else, right?
It is standard political procedure. Watch for what other bills and policies are being put on the table that would undermine the working and middle class. The point of all this, is to tire the public from all the farcical news, while the real news is behind closed doors being ironed out.
You think too highly of them, but this is probably rage bait. If they could feel embarrassment they wouldn’t have voted for Trump the first time let alone once more. One way to begin to understand the MAGA mindset is by reading Settlers.
