It is real!

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.”

They forget we had a red, white, and blue Brexit.

I'm not saying this as a joke, but I recently saw the movie Greenland and I'm confident this is all happening because he watched it.

mild spoilers

Main character is a man from his demographic. A presidential message is what's supposed to save people. Greenland is where people go for safety. Main character cheated on his wife but it's ok because he saved his family.

He saved his family, but boy did he fuck over a lot of people to get there. A lot more people could have been saved had he not been such a massive asshole throughout the movie. I'm still not sure if that was the intent on the character's portrayal, but towards the end I was actively rooting for him to fail.

Oh if you're talking about the plane scene I agree 100%.

How's the movie? It only got a 6 in imdb but I'm curious.

[-] Kolrami@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

I liked it. Straight forward disaster movie. Palatable for lots of people. It doesn't do anything ground breaking, but that's often not what I'm looking for in movies.

I like high budget camera work and lighting and don't mind getting mad at characters when bad stuff happens.

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

[-] TommySoda@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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.

[-] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 day ago

Fuck us all forever.

Orangeland.

[-] Toneswirly@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Mmhmm, and while youre having fun with this stunt Trump is dismantling what little safety net you had left for personal gain. Its time to stop the outrage machine and either do something with your rage or accept your new circumstances

Three weeks and he's run out of energy for his hissy fits, get ready for JD Vance to have to pedal all this shit
