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.”

Can we all just start chanting "Eggs" whenever he tries to talk from now on? I'd like that.

Dammit!

I said this as a joke nearly a month ago on Discord.

I know this is all a distraction so they can do even more fucked up shit, but this is next level stupid. My nephew could come up with something better.

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

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago (6 children)

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…

Wait until you supplement feeding and have to worm them.

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

What is he doing or plotting that is so brutal as to create such a smokescreen?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 day ago

Oh look it's the United States Congress version of shitposting.

[–] [email protected] 68 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Sure, not saying that you're at fault or anything.

I thought I was genuinely being tricked when reading this article. Thank you for providing a source.
