Trump shit

Republicans begin to push back against Donald Trump's pursuit of Greenland
Party may vote to block any military action as it seeks to defuse growing rift with allies over the Arctic territory

Donald Trump’s increasingly aggressive campaign to take control of Greenland has attracted sharp rebukes from Republican lawmakers, raising the possibility that Congress will try to rein in the president’s territorial ambitions. At least one Republican lawmaker has publicly suggested that if Trump were to use military force to seize the Danish territory, it would be an impeachable offence — and spell the end of his presidency.

Several others have said they expect a war powers resolution, which would prevent the president from deploying troops to Greenland without congressional approval, to garner the backing of the majority of lawmakers in the coming weeks. But the chorus of criticism from within the party over Greenland is one of the first major signals that a growing number of Republicans are willing to push back on what they see as presidential over-reach.

North Carolina Republican senator Thom Tillis on Tuesday said he was trying to “de-escalate” the situation with Greenland. “I am not critical of the president. I am critical of the bad advice he is getting on Greenland,” Tillis told CNBC, adding that “kinetic action or sort of increase in military presence” would trigger a war powers resolution supported by the majority of Senate Republicans. “I think we could easily get veto-proof majorities,” Tillis added, suggesting at least two-thirds of the 100-member Senate would sign on.

Kentucky Republican senator Rand Paul echoed his comments, telling NBC News at the weekend he had heard of “no Republican support” for a military invasion of Greenland, adding: “Even the most hawkish members of our caucus have said they won’t support that.”

There's plenty more in the linked article and a number of similar articles out there.

Really? Tillis and Paul convinced him? Sure. OK. Nothing I say or any facts are going to convince you otherwise.
You know nothing, Jon Snow.
You have shown over the years that you are wrong about trump and his motivations pretty much 100% of the time.
He's just like hitler. C'mon, say it....

[silverscreenselect]

Really? Tillis and Paul convinced him? Sure. OK. Nothing I say or any facts are going to convince you otherwise.

Tillis and Paul (and also Don Bacon and Lisa Murkowski who were in parts of the linked article I didn't cut and paste here) weren't the only ones. They were the only ones who were willing to go on record. If you'll notice the way the article is worded, it strongly implies other Republicans were involved.

And you asked me to show my source. I did (at least one of my sources). That's better than your random Twitter tweets.

Anonymous sources, like always. Proving what? That there are numerous TDS afflicted 'reporters'? We all know that. How do you KNOW ANYTHING about trump's motivations and strategy? (Simple answer: you don't, but you like to pretend you do.)

[silverscreenselect]

Anonymous sources, like always.

There were four named sources in the article, which is four more than you ever produce for any of your rants. If I produced 20 sources, you wouldn't be happy that I didn't have 21.

Another example of you trying to move the goalposts to salvage a shred of credibility.

And as an aside, I'd like to know what makes you an expert on Trump's motivation and strategy. Do you hear voices at night?

[wbtravis007]

I’m not tired of winning as a country, as promised.

So tired of being embarrassed, as I expected.

And still very concerned about what’s coming next.

[flockofseagulls104]

Your musings about trumps motivations are as accurate as that picture of me you posted.

You know nothing, SSS.

You know nothing, SSS.

We know that you posted a story that was so ridiculous on its face as being told by someone who was a friend of yours from around the southern border of Texas, and that someone here then pointed out that the story of your imaginary friend had been posted by someone else somewhere else.

I don’t think that you ever explained that.

PROVE ME WRONG.

Wow. A new low, even for you.

I acknowledged the mistake at the time. A friend of mine texted this information in a format that appeared to come directly from her. I mistakenly made that assumption. I realize that no one in the history of the world has ever made such a terrible, heinous mistake and that I should have been sentenced to life in prison, AT LEAST, for that post and I am embarrassed that I managed to beat the rap for it. If I lived in England nowadays, I probably would be in prison right now.

The difference, travis, is that mistake was not a direct ad hominem attack on anyone on this bored. That is a tactic that you specialize in, and that doc and SSS use when their arguments are disputed. My signature features many of your contributions. I used to fight back in kind, but I've decided to try and stop that. But I don't think you have it in you to stop engaging in personal attacks against me and others who you disagree with and instead try to engage in logical, reasoned debate if you disagree.

PROVE ME WRONG.

My memory is that you admitted making a “mistake” by posting that, and that you didn’t admit to deliberately trying to mislead people or apologize for doing so. I don’t remember that you suggested that you had been genuinely confused because of the “format” — (whatever that’s supposed to mean) — of something sent by a friend suggesting that she was the one with the first-person connection.
PROVE ME WRONG.

As for the rest of this, it’s laughable. We all know how many times you have made various vows to either leave if something or another happened or didn’t happen, or to not respond to people directly—(remember the “Perspectives” stuff?) — and know that you just can’t seem to help yourself. You whine in almost every post about how everyone else is such a meanie while remaining incapable of understanding that you are the biggest culprit here.

And, yes, I can prove it. I offer as evidence: all of your posts here.

Not trying very hard, are you?.. Should I go back to ignoring you? Are you going to continue on your obsession with me, personally, as if dissing me is the most important issue in the world to you? It seems to be the main reason you post here.

PS, to ease your anxiety, if I did not apologize for misleading anyone about the source of the information at the time, I apologize now. You showed me it was Michael Savage, not my friend. If you have problems with the content of the information, take it up with Mr Savage. I took great pains to explain why I came back after the True the Vote ripcord deal. Sorry you didn't catch it or don't recall it. As for other aspects of your memory, I cannot be held responsible for that. Does that help your frazzled psyche a bit?

I have admitted I have been as good or a better name-caller than those who have done it to me, but only after they started it. I have recently recognised to myself that it is self-defeating to engage in that sort of behavior, so I have tried to stop doing it. The alleged doctor, however, has doubled down, and you have reappeared on the scene, apparently re-invigorated.

BREAKING NEWS: I am pleased to announce that the United States of America has entered into an Agreement with The Kingdom of Denmark, and Greenland, that gives the United States permanent control over security, and all other needs, in Greenland, completely addressing ALL of our many U.S. concerns. There will be NO COST to the United States! At my direction, we worked with representatives of Denmark and Greenland to guarantee that the United States will FOREVER have the complete ability to do what is necessary in Greenland in order to secure and defend the security of Greenland, and the United States of America. Additionally, from now on, no U.S. adversary can EVER have a base in Greenland, have a military presence in Greenland, or make sensitive investments in Greenland, without our express written approval. For over 100 years, Presidents have known the strategic importance of Greenland, but NONE of them were able to do anything about it. I am proud to be the President that permanently and conclusively addressed this very important situation. This is an “Infinite Life” Agreement, there is no end! We are very honored and proud of what has just taken place, and everything agreed to today will be cherished by the American People. We will immediately begin the process of developing a large Military presence in the appropriate part of Greenland, of which there are many. We will work with the people of Greenland in its development and construction. This solution is a great one for the United States of America, Denmark, Greenland, and all of our Allies. We look forward to working with the wonderful people of Denmark and Greenland toward a magnificent future with respect to this large, and highly strategic, parcel of land. We will be very protective of it! This is a dream come true for the United States of America, one that is very important, historic, and special. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

This is the result everyone hoped for. I’m not sure what NO COST means. Maybe that this will be paid for with funds we have already allocated to support NATO.

[silverscreenselect]

Additionally, from now on, no U.S. adversary can EVER have a base in Greenland, have a military presence in Greenland, or make sensitive investments in Greenland, without our express written approval.

This is the kicker. Does "U.S. adversary" mean China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea or is he referring to Canada and any other country, including traditional allies, with whom Trump has a current trade dispute? That has the potential for trouble if he tries to use this against Canada.

Also, as always with Trump, what he announces on Truth Social often fizzles out before actually coming to pass.

As always, the TDS crowd can accept nothing from this administration without finding something to whine about. Does your party have even ONE sane plank in your platform that will benefit the whole of the US? No, you don't. Only negatives and socialist-communist ideas that have NEVER WORKED and resulted in millions of deaths throughout history,.

[silverscreenselect]

Flock, you do realize that the socialist-communist scare card isn't working. Neither is the trans sports scare card. It's hard to get people upset about what Democrats might do when they're staring at $5 a gallon gas and higher prices across the board. But keep going to rallies for Mike Collins and his Nazi in-laws and hoping something better is going to happen.

I am glad you're posting. I was worried that you had finally realized you'd been duped by Trump all these years and gone into permanent hiding.

[flockofseagulls104]

Excuse me? What is the sane plank in yor party's platform again?
Oh? Affordability? Tell me your wonderful ideas on that.
All you have is Trump hatred, as is shown by all the activity you and your comrades post here every day. I have tried for so long to talk some sense to you all. It's futile.

[silverscreenselect]

Excuse me? What is the sane plank in yor party's platform again?

Get rid of the Trump tariffs for one. In general, doing anything other than what Trump is doing is bound to be an improvement.

You'll find out soon enough when Trump gets his veto pencil out next year.
