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.”

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???

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.

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.

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.

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.
