Greenland is going to be a state now?
Did... anyone ask them...?

Grab 'em by the Parliament
cowfodder@lemmy.world · 38 pts · 208d
Yes. An overwhelming majority do not want to join the US.

Meanwhile, Puerto Rico and D.C.: "am I a joke to you?!"
Catma@lemmy.world · 38 pts · 208d
Puerto Rico is brown people and DC is a majority black so like yes they are a joke to these people

Doesn't Washington DC host the largest and longest running clown convention on the planet?
Catma@lemmy.world · 25 pts · 208d
I guess that is one way to refer to congress

More polite than me, that’s for sure.

Don't blame them one bit. USA has fallen soooooo far.
NaibofTabr@infosec.pub · 2 pts · 208d
Surprising. Can't imagine why.
driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br · 24 pts · 208d
If anything they're going to be a territory or something like that. There's no way they get two senators.
UnspecificGravity@piefed.social · 19 pts · 208d
Right. Imagine these clowns accidentally adding 3 blue electoral college votes for no reason.

Because taxation without representation worked so well the first time around

Residents of US territories don't pay federal income tax.

This is totally going to end well.
Totally.

Hopefully we can learn from the mistakes of our past.
But it's not looking good.
Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 208d
We never do
QueenHawlSera@sh.itjust.works · 10 pts · 208d
Of course not. Same reason why Puerto Rico isn't a state. They'd vote blue
postmateDumbass@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 208d
Ask our etetnal adversaries?
We have always been at war with Greenland.
East-Asia is our ally.
bdonvr@thelemmy.club · 3 pts · 208d
Oh no. Definitely not a state. Just a territory. The people there won't get citizenship or anything.
gjoel@programming.dev · 1 pts · 208d
So no taxation?
bdonvr@thelemmy.club · 1 pts · 208d
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.
Areexor@feddit.org · 1 pts · 208d
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.
RaoulDook@lemmy.world · 60 pts · 208d
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.
TachyonTele@piefed.social · 10 pts · 208d
I'm curious which countries have wanted to be annexed.
First_Thunder@lemmy.zip · 15 pts · 208d
Mongolia wanted to get annexed by the Soviet onion. Texas wanted to be annexed by the us

NGL, I kind of love this. It evokes the USSR, but in a really goofy and innocent way.
Please keep posting whatever else your brain cooks up.

The Republic of Texas? That’s probably it, though.
shittydwarf@piefed.social · 57 pts · 208d
That's a stupid ass name. Everything with these people is stupid. The only reason Trump is doing this is to get the USA out of NATO for Putin. The reason he works for Putin is because Putin has some very compromising pictures and videos of Trump, involving children and possibly pee

This dumb fucking ape is new to DC, after having been a MAGA terror in the Florida legislature for years. He just won some special election, maybe Matt Gaetz' old seat.
He is all about slurping the butt of whatever MAGA is above him. In Florida, it was DeSantis, now it will be Trump. Expect lots of eye-rolling sycophantic behavior like this in the future.
Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works · 34 pts · 208d
Might as well just call this the "Notice me daddy" act.
dhork@lemmy.world · 18 pts · 208d
Lol it's the GAS act.

American law name: Sunshine, Happiness, and Rainbows Act
American law contents: There will be a $500 tax to look at a rainbow and the President is authorised to sell exclusive rights to sunshine at an auction to tech bros. Happiness is now a controlled substance and illegal possession of it without a prescription is now punishable by 30 years imprisonment. Also, strawberry ice cream is now banned, $50 million for a bridge in Indiana, and the salary of the Deputy Archivist is increased by 6% starting next fiscal year.
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world · 17 pts · 208d
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.
minnow@lemmy.world · 13 pts · 208d
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.
bdonvr@thelemmy.club · 6 pts · 208d
They would never be a state. They'd be a territory. A colonial holding with no citizenship given automatically to the inhabitants.
ThePowerOfGeek@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 208d
Aaand of course the congressman submitting this is from Florida.

Greenland won’t be a state; they’ll be like Puerto Rico.

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?

Do you always give up so easily? By the way in English it's "Our Representatives don't care what their constituents want." It's funny to me how many trolly folks there are around here, posting discouraging nonsense. Have a nice day.

House dot gov link. Why is OP linking fascist propaganda? All gov links should be treated as sus.
AmbitiousProcess@piefed.social · 27 pts · 208d
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.
Solano@piefed.social · -4 pts · 208d
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.
Iheartcheese@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 208d
The right things like actually looking at the link instead of just crying about it in the comments?
Solano@piefed.social · 1 pts · 205d
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.

Deliberate ignorance only makes you weaker. They are linking the source so you can look and make your own opinions.
