Whoops: Trump Reveals He's Actually Been Thinking Of Iceland This Whole Time WASHINGTON, D.C. — While appearing at a White House press briefing on Tuesday, President Donald Trump revealed that he had been mistaken and was actually thinking of Iceland this whole time. For the past year, and increasingly over the last few weeks, Trump had been raising the temperature of rhetoric regarding the U.S. seeking to acquire Greenland. During a daily briefing with top advisors, however, he realized it was Iceland he had in mind. "Totally different place, from what I'm hearing," Trump told reporters. "Greenland is [...] https://babylonbee.com/news/whoops-trump-reveals-hes-actually-been-thinking-of-iceland-this-whole-time

Denmark Protects Greenland By Securing It In Giant Cookie Tin NUUK — With rhetoric from both European countries and the United States over control of the island escalating, Denmark commenced a plan to protect Greenland by securing it in a giant cookie tin. In the face of increased pressure to sell the territory to the U.S. for national security purposes, Danish leaders devised what sources said was a "foolproof" plan to enclose Greenland the best way they know — by replicating its trademark cookie tin on an enormous scale. "This will also keep Greenland fresh and crispy for the foreseeable future," said Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen.

NATO Begs U.S. For Emergency Funding So They Can Defend Greenland From U.S. BRUSSELS — Amid the looming threat of a U.S. military takeover of Greenland, NATO requested emergency aid from the U.S. to help it defend Greenland from the U.S. "This is an emergency, and we need the aid of the United States as soon as possible," said Secretary General Mark Rutte. "The U.S. could attack Greenland at any minute, and we have no ability to defend it unless we get some military aid from the U.S. immediately."

This seems increasingly necessary... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Supreme Court Justices Bring In Ms. Rachel To Explain Cases To Ketanji Brown Jackson WASHINGTON, D.C. — With arguments being presented on issues that will have far-reaching effects on shaping the future of American laws, society, and culture, the other eight Supreme Court justices brought in Ms. Rachel to explain cases to Ketanji Brown Jackson.

Oh, goodness... consecutive posts, this one with Wednesday's Semiofficial Semiweekly VAWA-Thread Joke: =========================================== THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ECONOMIC SYSTEMS TRADITIONAL CAPITALISM: You have 2 cows. You sell one and buy a bull. Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows. You sell them and retire on the income. SOCIALISM: You have 2 cows. The government takes one and gives it to your neighbor. COMMUNISM: You have 2 cows. The State takes both and gives you some milk. FASCISM: You have 2 cows. The State takes both and sells you some milk. NAZISM: You have 2 cows. The government takes both and shoots you. BUREAUCRATISM: You have 2 cows. The State takes both, shoots one, milks the other, and throws the milk away. VENTURE CAPITALISM: You have 2 cows. You sell 3 of them to your publicly listed company, using letters of credit opened by your brother-in-law at the bank, and then execute a debt-to-equity swap with an associated general offer so that you get all 4 cows back, with a tax exemption for 5 cows. The milk rights of the 6 cows are transferred via an intermediary to a Cayman Island company secretly owned by the majority shareholder, who sells the rights to all 7 cows back to your listed company. The annual report says the company owns 8 cows, with an option on one more.

This One Lie About Trump Could Cost CNN Millions CNN may have to lawyer up now, after one of its commentators lobbed a defamatory claim at President Donald Trump Monday night, and host John Berman barely lifted a finger to correct it. Cameron Kasky, a 25-year-old Parkland shooting survivor turned activist, was on NewsNight for some reason. There, he falsely claimed Trump was part of a "human sex-trafficking network," in what appeared to be a reference to Jeffrey Epstein's criminal enterprise. The allegation wasn't some throwaway line, either. Kasky doubled down, despite multiple opportunities to walk it back, creating significant legal exposure for the network. The incident began as a discussion about Trump’s quest to acquire Greenland, when, apropos of nothing, Kasky made the false claim.

Comments? ~~~~~~~~~ The GOP Plan To Make America Affordable Again The American people are speaking loud and clear: They want affordability, and they want it now. Thankfully, on Jan. 13, Republicans in Congress announced that they're ready to give families relief. They rolled out a comprehensive plan to make America affordable again. The credit goes to the Republican Study Committee, under the leadership of Chairman August Pfluger, which represents the overwhelming majority of GOP House members. Since President Trump signed the One, Big, Beautiful Bill into law last summer, they've been hard at work developing a second reconciliation bill that's just as sweeping and urgently needed. Their plan – which is centered on bringing the American Dream into reach for everyone – should be sent to the president's desk as soon as possible.
