Takes a special kind of talent to be so offensive and hilarious at the same time.

Pfft, Britain and France already have plenty of islands. No, it is only right that it goes to a country that has none. One that has no islands because it has no land at all any more. Only Yugoslavia has a rightful claim to Greenland. Greenland and Yugoslavia are even roughly the same shape, especially if you just include Albania into Yugoslavia for extra inter-Balkan diplomacy!

Red, white and blue are like the most common country flag colours. USA, UK, Australia, New Zealand, France, Russia, Netherlands, Chile, Cuba, Czechia, Iceland, Laos, Liberia, Luxembourg, North Korea etc. I'm sure you get the point. It seems like most countries aren't particularly creative or daring when it comes to flags. Almost like all the lions and eagles that you see in military or old timey flags and symbols.

Fun Fact: Jamaica is the only country to not have red, white, or blue in its flag.

[-] Zero22xx 5 points 1 week ago

Huh that's pretty cool. Definitely a fun fact!

I was like "What about Libya?" and then I remembered...

New flag is nicer imo, and more consistent with the other flags of the continent.

can you imagine being a Democrat congressperson who actually wants to do something useful for people and having to listen to this? I'd probably just resign.

[-] jjagaimo@sh.itjust.works 53 points 1 week ago

All resigning does is give them a greater margin to win votes by. We have several chances to win a tie or majority in the house and senate

Three house seats are up for special elections, two in florida and one in NY. If they all elect democrats, there will be a tie in the houde and any bill can be blocked.

Senate votes can be held without all members present, so making sure all democrat congress members always show up and always vote gives a good chance of blocking some bills

Also in 2026 will be the midterm and we can vote republican congressmembers out, as they only have a majority and not a supermajority.

[-] MangoCats@feddit.it 17 points 1 week ago

What I want to know is: what does the vote of a Republican Senator cost these days? Can we start GoFundMe campaigns to get some things changed in our preferred direction?

This is fantastic news! I didn't know that's where the world's supply of eggs was stored!

[-] hemmes@lemmy.world 24 points 1 week ago

I can taste the lower prices!

[-] blandfordforever@lemm.ee 6 points 1 week ago

I think you could taste a little lower, while you're down there.

[-] nevemsenki@lemmy.world 29 points 1 week ago

I thought we had more time until Idiocracy.

[-] Yawweee877h444@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week ago

They want to make it even dumber than Idiocracy.

[-] Gingerlegs@lemmy.world 25 points 1 week ago

Jesus fucking Christ

[-] ZoopZeZoop@lemmy.world 20 points 1 week ago

I am against trying to acquire Greenland. However, I support this naming. If the USA is going to let something this moronic happen, we deserve to have this be a monument to our impotence and idiocy.

[-] Glytch@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

This is just more bullshit to distract from egg prices and Elon robbing all of us in a Superman 3 scheme.

[-] Blackdoomax@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

I don't remember Superman 3, but now I want to rewatch it xd

[-] Glytch@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

The scheme is basically stealing tiny tiny fractions of a cent from every transaction that requires rounding and going unnoticed in the theft. They attempt it in Office Space, but misplace a decimal point and steal way more than they intended.

[-] owenfromcanada@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

I'm seeing the name of the community, and I'm still not entirely sure this isn't an onion. It's that onion-y.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

One drugs please, doctor

[-] callouscomic@lemm.ee 8 points 1 week ago

They literally already told us to fuck off.

[-] theterrasque@infosec.pub 5 points 1 week ago

I'm just waiting for Mexico to rename usa to "Little Mexico"

[-] rayyy@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Jabba-the-Orange is planning on acquiring Greenland by invasion. They have already dusted off the draft and notification of the next-of-kin plans

[-] michaelmrose@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Honestly if I recall these changes have already been underway before trump and unlike virtually everything else make sense

[-] scott@lem.free.as 4 points 1 week ago

The irony.

Russia is to the Ukraine as the USA is to Greenland/Denmark.

[-] mEEGal@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

it should be called "Blellowland"

Change my mind

[-] FireWire400@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

They were serious about that?

At least come up with a different name; Red, White and Blue Land sounds like a theme park... Trump totally should re-open Action Park and invite as of his friends there. That would be so wonderful.

[-] TheAthena@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Let them, then put trump in charge forever there. And move all his supporters there. Everyone wins.
