Greenland - Tassa Eller Asu !!!!
Probably smell better, too. Part of my comment to this is in the prior post. Trying to kick America out by threatening (even by protest) to take over an American base plays right into Trump's hand. He'd describe it as another Portland only worse! We gotta send the Army!

Greenland - Tassa Eller Asu !!!!
For all practical purposes, we own Greenland as a strategic necessity. There are more American military already on the island than citizens. [I was ridiculously wrong on that statement. I thought I'd heard from some reliable source. @bolverk corrected me below. We only have the one base. Apologies.] I do believe Denmark has offered to allow further US military development as an appeasement. I googled to see if they resist American bases there: It's the below ground minerals and rare earths that Trump wants. Having those would be good for America, but, Trump's way, it becomes another cash cow for the oligarchs and corporations. We can have our way there through normal means. Contract with Greenland/Denmark for mineral rights which, gasp, means they would actually get something out of it. The Americans want it fucking all.

Trump’s America
He's already running the US. I'm sure he'll do a bang up job with Venezuela. Trump doesn't have the coherence for strategic thought. I think Miller is making regime-change more literal. I increasing don't think the threats to everybody else are haphazard. We're running a protection extortion. It'd be a real shame if somebody came to your country and what happened to that poor Maduro guy happened to you. You playin' ball? We want to be on the ground in Venezuela for their oil. I don't think that part of the Milroe Doctrine will work out. The other countries? You just need tribute. Lot's of it. Meanwhile, Trump at Mar al Lago sliding around on the shit in his diapers going after personal enemies. Happy happy happy. zzzzzzzz We ate the world. We killed the children. True. I don't see that happening any more than you do: I keep imagining if there were only three networks. This scene would be played before a large majority of Americans and then discussed at the watercoolers that still existed. They'd all be in on the outrage. Those days are gone. Hardly anybody sees it. The rest have a hundred other channels to choose from. They're not dumber; it's just the connection to the world has changed from what it was. President Johnson or Nixon calling Walter Cronkite, John Chancellor, Harry Reasoner (network anchors of the day), or the NYT "fake news" would be absurd. They might be wrong but never fake. There's no going back, I realize. It's just such a tragic change in the republic's discourse that no person likely foresaw. It really does look like it's over for this place. These stories sadden me more than provoke outrage. I'm part of a routed army.

Okay, they've done the oil thing. It's the most obvious. Who will parody the notion of us running Venezuela with no plan whatsoever for doing so?

Things Not Going Well in Venezuela, 2.0
I watched the whole thing and thought the reporters did a rare good job in following up. I think there were at least 5 questions attacking the same issue. Trump blathered about something unrelated most times. The press then moved on to other fruitless queries. I was too disgusted to check out headlines. I'm sure we got: US Bombs Venezuela,Threatens Larger Invasion US to Run Venezuela. Trump Can't Say How Trump Lies to America about Invasion

Things Not Going Well in Venezuela, 2.0
Joe Biden's Bay of Pigs was a disaster. We'll use the American military this time. The greatest in the world. I never get credit for that, but that's okay. They were out of bullets, but I gave them the bullets. Tough bullets, ma-an those bullets hurt. Heh heh. Our soldiers now have the best bullets. Better than those lousy wooden bullets Obama had. They just bounce off. Bounce off... Man, giraffe, camera, woman...Anybody seen Ivanka lately? zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

What more can you do? I'm really enjoying the football board regurgitations about Sark and Flood. They're just as fresh and enlightening when regurgitated 20 times as they were the first time that vomit slapped the floor! We. Get. It.- Your President is pedophile
And don't forget the acquiescent who can't be bothered to vote against what Trump is and represents. It doesn't matter why they don't. They're okay with (absolutely) whatever happens. If only we could find the right messaging! 70% of this country is fine having this man as president. The people have spoken or nodded.- Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread

This has been quoted so much, that I was forced to think about the actual content. Think of the scope of this claim and how you won't see a fan anywhere else say this about a team anywhere else. This is the essence of my obsession with that cult-ure. They (TexAggies and their ilk) are so sure that they must be God's favorite themselves because of their purity, honor, courage, decency, and humility that their rival blasphemes by being better in every aspect aside from a few colleges within the universities. With this insane conviction, they are like inept, babbling stalkers who don't instill fear nearly so much as they invite ridicule. And you must keep an eye on them. Occasionally they come too close and must be shoved with force to the ground as a reminder that they are not facing the fairies they declare us to be. They respond like the Black Night in MP and the Holy Grail. Again, I'm talking about the Aggie cult not all Aggies. I think now the majority of their student body are students like anywhere else. Plenty of intelligent Aggies who feel the same about their school as I do about Texas post around here.- Things Not Going Well in Venezuela, 2.0

It's all so obvious and farcical that it's difficult to parody. Stewart is brilliant. I'm sure this is good, but I'm OD'd on absurdity from real life; I don't even feel like watching it.- Trump’s America
He's glamming up his little black tent with gold painted or plastic chairs. Klass! Laand of the cucks and ho-ome of the tame. No bottom. No generation is homogenized. The end of WW2 got America 50% of the world market. That inflow of wealth changed everything. That generation gave us the National Security State, constant state of war with somebody, the rape of Latin America, The School of the Americas, and they were as greedy as any generation. It's not genetic. It's not inherent. Maybe the worst thing that happened during that time, and I noticed it at the time, was changing the branding of conflict with the communist countries from Liberty/Democracy versus Oppression/Dictators to Capitalism versus Communism. Gordon Gecko. The wonders of the market. Greed is good. That doesn't start in 1980. All of this was in the air. It doesn't arise from the hearts and minds of the masses. The masses react. Believing there is a big difference in the people from one generation to the next is silly. Believing that's where the real conflict lies is counterproductive. Future generations will hate us all and rightfully. Is it only boomers driving to their cubicle job in giant pick up trucks? You think boomers alone elected Trump? Do you think boomers are the only ones denying the coming climate cataclysm because they won't give up hamburgers or private transportation to save their own fucking kids? Those kids will rightfully despise all of us. They won't single out a single generation. They'll see the big picture. Boomers suck as much as anybody. Maybe more. Who gives a shit, their (our) grip is loosening. Take some fucking responsibility yourself. Adhere to Sgt. Hartman:- The movie you just watched
They were putting out two movies a week. There was huge variety. That's what's missing now. Less variety=fewer opportunities for excellence. I'm not sure whose idea your alluding to. I don't make that claim.- Negative Recruiting Your Own School: The aggy Screenshot Megathread
Well boys and girls, in today's episode of Irony-deaf Oafs, we travel to TexAgs. They're the ones who scorn others as arrogant and over-rated. See if you can find the mirror in the picture.- The movie you just watched
The Hollywood studios are not interested in ideas. They want reliable franchise properties. That means sequels. That's why every multiplex fills 12 screens with 4 movies. They've created an audience for it even if it is repetitious. If the people want the same swill over and over, give them the same swill. There is no incentive for the businessmen and women who now run the studios to risk their money on anything new. Not too many decades ago, you actually had people who loved movies running things, so they'd take some chances on smaller scale movies. There are plenty of creatives in Hollywood with good, new ideas. Nobody in power cares. - Transfer Cycle 2025-2026 - Stop Being Poor
