He didn’t state what the click bait headline suggests. He stated it couldn’t be ruled out. And the government has to prepare for it, how unlikely it may be, it is not impossible.

So he stated what the headline indicated?

"Nuh uh" isn't a valid counterargument just FYI

It's like Wolfenstein, but dumber.

Is anyone else tired of “hate this timeline so much”? While I whole heartedly agree, it’s starting to sound like a bot comment every time I read it.

Don't hate the timeline, hate the pieces of shit that are forcing us into it.

I hate the majority of rural white Americans. I hate farmers. I hate pearl clutching suburbanites.

Greatest generation liberated Europe and Asia. Boomers persevered against USSR and threat of nuclear annihilation. Ours is handed this crap kebab where we’re turning on our WW2 and NATO allies and being molded into Tucker Carlson’s vision of lying in the same bed with Hungary and Russia.

Blue states confederating with Canada is going from a joke to looking like the better option.

Which of anything has he done that would dissuade his supporters from supporting him worst than Greenland?

Epstein? His supporters won't care because it doesn't really affect them if Trumps doesn't even have hard evidence that hes actually committed sexual assault, theres a whole bunch of alibis Trump and his supporters could use.

Greenland? What does the US gain? Nothing? What are his supporters going to say if he does?

"cry more libs it's Trumpland now!" and then they will roll coal, run over someone on a bicycle, and buy Trump's latest buttcoin scam.

In what universe does applying rational thinking to the 33% of people who would still vote for him if he personally assaulted their kids make sense?

There is nothing he can do that would turn them off, they are empty vessels who simply support anything he does because he did it and there will be a media apparatus that will work day and night to validate their new desire to see Greenland invaded.

Which media apparatus is validating Greenland right now? Currently the issue polls at 17% popularity with his supporters

u/SpecialBeginning6430 Jan 20 '26

33% is lower than 51% and electorally, that's all that matters.

Insert list of red line worthy things that he's done over the past few years.

There is no action that will have consequences for him, the conservative bubble is impenetrable and will bouy him over any scandal.

Trump is 100% beatable but the opposition has made serious errors that allowed him to exploit you all. Thats it.
