Yes, you are right. I apologice. I will strive to not post unrelated nonsense anymore (but in my defence, there is so much on topic nonsense in the thread).

But yeah. Sorry, mate :wink: . Mea Culpa. Mods can just delete the nonsense for all I care.

Create the thread. I dare you :wink:

I honestly don’t have that much to contribute. 5-6 songs, maybe. Lol. I don’t listen to Hip Hop, so there are not that many sleazy songs I have listened to that I remember :smiley:

In the spirit of actual contribution to the actual topic of the actual thread, I can divulge that this Danish plan for increased military spending on Greenland, long predates Trump’s recent comments and are so not in response to them.

Just in case some wondered about that.

The US has been in negotiations with Denmark over establishing bases in Greenland for years now. I bet he just misunderstood the briefing.

Been away for a few days and missed a lot of the Trump burblings.Knew about him anointing Canada as the 51st state,which will have the two major political parties in Oz crying in their beers as both have been vying for that very doubtful place for some years now, but with the Panama Canal in his sights,again,and his predeliction with Greenland rearing its head again it seems that 53/54 states are the best options.
World domination ,lunatic style is on the agenda

Surely we are all familiar with Trump’s negotiating style by now.
1, He says something outrageous and often insulting.
2, The world says wtf?!
3, He says something completely contradictory.
4, The world says thank fuck he didn’t mean it.
5, He says something outrageous etc etc

In these cases, he, or more likely his advisors, want mining rights and military bases in Greenland, cheaper fees to use the Panama canal, a more pliant government in Canada.

Ok, threaten invasion.

It’s like the boy who cried wolf. The question is, when will the wolf actually arrive?

One day, Trump will actually follow through on one of his idiotic ideas, and the world will be caught on its heels.

I thought this was the rare example of a left-wing meme/conspiracy theory post that is the counterpart to so much junk posted on here.

I didn’t realise it was actually true until I saw @Limiescouse’s post…

Not wanting to make light of a serious and tragic issue, but I did :laughing: at Musk saying there should be some cognitive test for elected officials.

I wonder how stretched he gets trying to find a way for President Shitsim Self to not be included
