    I should have gone with Mel Reynolds. A known pedophile that Democrats voted into office.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mel_Reynolds

    In August 1994, Reynolds was indictedfor sexual assault and criminal sexual abuse for engaging in a sexual relationship with a 16-year-old campaign volunteer that began during the 1992 campaign.[2] He also faced charges of child pornography for asking the underage campaign worker to obtain "lewd photographs of another girl who was age 15" and obstruction of justice for convincing one of the girls involved to lie to authorities.[11] Despite the charges, he continued his campaign and was re-elected in November without opposition.[2] Reynolds initially denied the charges, which he claimed were racially motivated.

    This would be kinda the same thing except the system dealt with him.  He was charged and he resigned.

     

    well,  and he was black. 

    And no one covered it up for him. 

    And then Jesse Jackson took his seat. 

    Same.

    But different. 

     

    But still same  I guess...

    One party at least cleans itself up sometimes.  Remember al franken?

    I'm not sure about the particulars of international law here, but in political terms I mostly agree with the exception that we wouldn't have to invade it- we already occupy it.

    Sure,  but couldn't they just nationalize the US bases? Then charge a lease? I mean,  talk about the pressure that would apply for the US vs the UN/NATO.

    not like that orange fuck would care,  but everyone around him might.  That could turn the tide against him.  It would put him in a very precarious position.

    Denmark has never really held Greenland in a meaningful way and never wanted to. A little history: Vikings maintained a small settlement in Southern Greenland going back to the 12th century or so, and accepted Norwegian overlordship in the 13th. Norway and Denmark were combined in personal union under the Danish Oldenburg dynasty over the 16th-17th century. When they were forcibly split in 1814 by the British after the Napoleonic Wars,  Denmark wound up with the settlement. 
    After the civil war United States sent explorers to the rest of Greenland and claimed it, which prompted the Danish to claim it too. We then recognized the Danish claim as part of the purchase of the British West Indies in 1917, and successfully prevented the British from buying it for Canada or getting a right of first refusal to prevent us from getting it. So in 1921 Denmark was stuck and actually had to declare sovereignty over the whole island. Sort of.

    fast forward to WWI- Denmark is occupied by the Germans, who then make moved in preparation to invade and occupy Greenland, so we put the coast guard in place and begin to set up bases, and there we have been ever since. 

    Greenland is essential to US strategic defense. Holding it is consistent with the Monroe doctrine, and because the current Danish claim is a post 1823 European colony we tolerate it as an exception. 

    I’m glossing over a lot and some details may be wrong, but that’s the gist.

    Interestingly enough, though,  Denmark granted Greenland home rule.  That would make it,  internationally,  a sovereign,  if Denmark decided to free it.  The US would have to either accept it as a territory of they wished to be,  or would have to invade it otherwise,  right?

    I think that's kind of Ireland and Northern Ireland in a nutshell... I am probably wrong

    The below is long but I copied it from someone I know who just posted this shit on Facebook.  Shit like the below is why this country is screwed.  Many of you will say this person is a racist or Fascist but I just think they are just brainwashed by the media and believe this shit.  We seem to be in the middle of a giant psychological experiment in this country and seeing what TV/Radio and social media can do to people’s brains and it’s frightening.   Below is why people continue to vote for Trump even though pretty much everything in there is false and laughable if it didn’t piss me off and frighten me at the gullibility of people in this country to believe anything they see or hear.  Also, the below will be copied and pasted a million times on Facebook and other places and it will convince people to vote for Trump that may not have.  It probably swings more votes than a TV ad at this point.
     

    “Someone recently asked me why I like Trump. My answer was that I don't really like a lot of things about Trump.  

    He’s not my pastor or spiritual leader. I’m voting for a platform. But this election is not about choosing the most likeable person. 

    We are voting between two vastly different ideologies. We are voting for the country we want to leave our children and grandchildren. 

    Trump represents that future and has proven that he can deliver. He is a patriot to the core and even served his country for 4 years without pay.

    That moment when someone says, 
    "I can't believe you're voting for Trump". I simply reply, “I'm NOT voting for Trump.”

    I'm voting for the First Amendment and freedom of speech. I'm voting for the right to speak my opinion and not be censored. 

    I’m voting for secure borders and LEGAL immigration. I am voting for election integrity to include mandatory voter ID.  (Why would anyone vote against this?)

    I'm voting for the Second Amendment and my right to defend my life and my family.

    I'm voting for the police to be respected once again. 

    I am voting for law & order and an end to allowing protesters to trespass and burn our cities, destroying innocent small business. (Tim Walz)

    I am voting for personal responsibility and the end of the revolving door where criminals are being put back on the street. (Kamala Harris)

    I'm voting for the next Supreme Court Justice(s) to protect the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

    I’m voting for a return of our troops from foreign countries and the end to America’s involvement in foreign conflicts.

    I'm voting for the Electoral College and for the Republic in which we live.

    I’m voting for the continued appointment of Federal Judges who respect the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

    I’m voting for keeping our jobs to remain in America and not be outsourced all over the world - to China, Mexico and other foreign countries.

    I am voting for doing away with all of the freebies given to all of the illegals and not looking after the needs of the American citizens and homeless veterans. 

    I'm voting for the military & the veterans who fought for this country 

    I'm voting to keep men out of women's sports.

    I’m voting for peace progress in the Middle East.

    I’m voting to fight against human/child trafficking.

    I'm voting for Freedom of Religion. 

    I am voting for the return of teaching math, history, and science instead of the indoctrination of our children. 

    I'm not just voting for one person. 
    I'm voting for the future of my Country.

    I'm voting for my children and my grandchildren to ensure their freedoms

    America is the greatest country in the world, hense why everyone wants to immigrate here. So why do you want to change it? 
     
    Why do politicians want to enact policies that have failed in other countries throughout history?  

    I'm not voting for Trump. 
    I'm voting for America.” 

     

    Anyone who says some fucking moronic shit like this is just trying to justify why they're voting for Trump, because:

    1) Trump didn't do any of this shit his first time around

    2) Trump doesn't belive in any of this shit unless you're wealthy,  white,  and male 

    3) Trump doesn't really want to do any of this shit.  The dems want this more than trump

    4) Trump isn't the one making policy decisions at all,  he's just trading favors for power

    5) Trump didn't do any of this shit while in office

    6) Trump blocked any efforts to do any of this shit when he was not in office because he wouldn't get credit for it

    7) Trump did virtually nothing while in office except hook up his stakeholders

    8)Trump doesn't care about any of this shit

    9) Trump is just selling raffles to power brokers

    10) Trump doesn't give a fuck about any of this shit

    11) Trump never put forth a rational policy on his own that reflects any of this shit

    12) Trump will appease all of his power brokers to get elected and then doesn't care about any of this shit

    13) Trump tried to overthrow the fucking government that actually wants to address these issues,  but because they're not his people,  he fucking sits on his hands about any of this shit

    14) Trump doesn't even know what most of this shit means

    15) I only begged the idea of your previous post,  since you can't seem to provide any push back to ask your Trumpy fucking friends

    16) Trump couldn't care less about any of this shit

    17) Trump had every opportunity to show he did in his term as president

    18) Trump cares nothing for laws,  or order, unless it has something to do with him being able to misinterpret them into something that benefits him

    19) Trump is a moron that knows nothing of these policies, unless it is in his benefit 

    20) Trump would never make any policy happen unless it stonework benefitted him through money or power

     

    21) anyone who didn't challenge this shit with multiple fronts and complete obliteration of Trump actually having enough character to even intend for this to happen for some sort of ethos, without some sort of self enrichment,   needs to have the shit kicked out of him in hopes it awakens some long since dormant portion of the brain,  needs to be rebuffed until every sentence that comes out of his mouth in that person's presence results in a complete brain injury causing beating 

    And

    22) I was not begging you,  just the overly-simplistic  thought that you allow those believe to reddish unchallenged in your presence,  and allow the speaker of these words tu be able to vote without them having to have an aide to read it to them because they have toomuch tbi to be able to read it themselves...

    23) or Something of that nature
