6. No, I see this as more serious than that.

I hope Denmark bombs the white house. Not content with the trouble pot he stirred with Israel re: Gaza, nor content enough to bring on the brink of WWIII in the Middle East with Iran, NOW he's "assuming" command of Greenland defense. I'm sorry, I hold no ill will towards Greenland, but if trump wants to defend it, he can do it with his own damn dollars. I want MY tax dollars going to ensure that all Seniors get their SS checks every month, medicaid is assured for those that need it, and those who need help with "food security" (the new euphemism for starving) are quickly and directly assisted.

NO MORE of my dollars for trumps WARS! (NOW its beginning to sound like the 70's chants!). Furthermore, I wouldn't hold Greenland at fault at all if they were launch a damn rocket directly at the white house while dumbshit was in it. It's going to take an exorcism, as well as several cleansing rites, to make the place habitable again for real, caring people. Might as well start over from scratch.

I hope the Greenlanders don't feel as nervous right now about what trump will do... as I do every month wondering if he's gonna clawback SS money. And I really hope Denmark and Greenland can land some kind of mark on trump. I promise I won't take it as an insult the US! Short of bringing together the NATO nations and bombing him, isn't there some kind of committee or something they can go to at the U.N. which will tell trump to keep his nose out of other country's business? How much is Putin paying him to make sure the water ways are ice free and just for russian transports?

Hope Denmark tells him to f*#k himself. sinkingfeeling Jun 17 #1
