Greenland is going to be a state now?

Did… anyone ask them…?

Show threaddriving_croonerJan 12
If anything they’re going to be a territory or something like that. There’s no way they get two senators.

Totally.

Right. Imagine these clowns accidentally adding 3 blue electoral college votes for no reason.

Hopefully we can learn from the mistakes of our past.

Ask our etetnal adversaries?

We have always been at war with Greenland.

East-Asia is our ally.

Show threadbdonvrJan 13
Oh no. Definitely not a state. Just a territory. The people there won’t get citizenship or anything.
Show threadgjoelJan 13
So no taxation?
Show threadbdonvrJan 13

Maybe. Small consolation prize. Puerto Rico doesn’t pay federal income taxes, though they do get citizenship.

American Samoans don’t pay federal income taxes but they also don’t get citizenship.

Show threadQueenHawlSeraJan 13
Of course not. Same reason why Puerto Rico isn’t a state. They’d vote blue

That would be undemocratic because it would go againts the wishes of the democratically elected President of the United States. 4D chess only an idiot would come up with.

Show threadRaoulDookJan 12

In 1898 they annexed Hawaii by a joint resolution of Congress, after some business goons and Marines overthrew the Queen of Hawaii in 1893 and a few years of negotiations. The Hawaiians by majority did not want to be annexed.

Greenland is a territory of Denmark, a member of NATO, and they also don’t want to be annexed so this is a bit different. Congress should vote to not go to war with NATO.

Show threadTachyonTeleJan 12
I’m curious which countries have wanted to be annexed.
Show threadFirst_ThunderJan 13
Mongolia wanted to get annexed by the Soviet onion. Texas wanted to be annexed by the us

House dot gov link. Why is OP linking fascist propaganda? All gov links should be treated as sus.
Show threadRandomgalJan 12
Deliberate ignorance only makes you weaker. They are linking the source so you can look and make your own opinions.
Show threadAmbitiousProcess (they/them)Jan 12

It is literally just the bill that was introduced, directly from the site of the senator that introduced it.

Any news organization or third party source is gonna be pulling from this exact same source, because that’s how all bills are initially found out about.

Show threadSolanoJan 13
Didn’t realise it was a bill. The news has me on edge, and I saw red. Wish someone would do the right thing for once.
Show threadIheartcheeseJan 13
The right things like actually looking at the link instead of just crying about it in the comments?
Show threadSolanoJan 15
People in general suck, they really do. I meant the news is shit and there is evil going around, and all the responses is more evil actions, in the world. Woman gets murdered in the open, and ICE starts door to door and increasing efforts as the murderer goes into witness protection. Meanwhile the governor says some words and warns, but does no actions, allowing the evil to continue marching. No one is doing anything to stop this fascism. And on top of that, misinterpretations on the internet is still king of perception.

Aaand of course the congressman submitting this is from Florida.
Show threadtidderuufJan 12

Has anyone told these morons that there’s a U.S. base on Greenland?

What are they going to do have Delta Force go in and kidnap the President of the Space Force?

Show threadLost_My_MindJan 12

So if they’re going to be a state, do they realize that they would be a blue state by default? Like, they would make California look like a red state.

And the rebellion there would cause need for millitary action. Which they would lose. This would be like vietnam, except you just forced them to have legal rights within your own government.

Show threadminnowJan 13
It doesn’t matter if it’s a blue or a red state if there aren’t any more elections because they’ve been suspended because of war with, say, NATO.
Show threadbdonvrJan 13
They would never be a state. They’d be a territory. A colonial holding with no citizenship given automatically to the inhabitants.
