Now Veep was great although I misclassified it as satire at the time.
The Trump Presidency - Part 2
- Thread starter The Boy
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) review both the Everton and Bodø/Glimt victories at Old Trafford. Listen to the guys discuss 2 wins and 7 goals in the last week, analyse of the Amorim formation, focus on Amad and how he is playing, and also take a look at Hojlund, Rashford & Zirkzee – who starts v Arsenal?
Then better watch and read again your post after.
It is genuinely far more accurate than either House of Cards or The West Wing.
West Wing was an utopia , Sorkin's idealistic dreams put into media. American HOC is just bad tv.
Finally, more Lebensraum on the way
He wanted Greenland during his first term as well didn't he?

Any thoughts on this piece? End of the road stuff here.

Yes. Something tells me this time he may actually be halfway serious about it.
Who put this idea in this head? Also who put the idea that it could ever happen in his head?
They'd have to conquer it if they wanted Greenland.
Yeah, in 2019. And Denmark told him to feck off.
Its been "a thing" for some time pre-dating Trump.

Greenland is our land.

Maybe the US can send in some "little green men" Crimea-style.
The haven't lost much of the old guard in the Senate yet, and most of them won't be concerned about primary challenges, some of Trump's picks are going to find it very difficult to get confirmed, I can't see Gaetz as AG getting thru and RFK might be a stretch as well, of course the recess option will get abused
Well maybe watch it because it is very good, so good in fact that the US had to make their own version, the majordifferences is that the Brithish know when to stop whilst the Americans work on making as much $$$$ as they can by streyching it out and as a result diminishes it
He can keep his dirty hands off our Kingdom!
So I'm curious why, since both of you are pretty opposed to Musk, that you give twitter so many links and so much exposure here? Raoul, you could have just linked to the Newsweek article instead of twitter and Berbatrick, I see no value at all in sharing someone talking about what Sarah Palin is sharing on twitter. Of course this doesn't just apply to you both, so its a general question that any prolific twitter sharer can answer but these both stand out the second I logged in.
What's anyone going to do? Just go there and take it.
Denmark is going to backup trucks of Lego blocks on our nice American beaches and dump them all out, so we suffer the most serious pain ever when walking on the sand. It isn't worth it Donald, let Denmark have it!
Then you go and also take denmark.
A three way deal between US, China and Russia to get Greenland, Taiwan and Eastern Ukraine. Voted in Security Council where Trump threatens to nuke the UK and France if they veto.
Denmark protests and try to fight back but their state of the art snow guns are not enough of a deterrent. Greenland falls and become the US’ 51st state, but before that, it is renamed to Trumpland.
I don't think we (Denmark) even have a right to sell it. It's the people of Greenland who can choose to be under the American wings instead.
Rename to Greedland.Greenland is our land.

They'll have to take out the Brits as well, anything that threatens the supply of Carlsberg, Bacon and Lurpak will not be tolerated!
i have a twitter account and use it regularly and get a lot of news from it. i was scared for a moment that i was about to get the right-wing algorithm that everyone was complaining about, but so far there's been no change apart from an annoying number of blue-check centrists.
i found this particular thing quite funny.
i don't pay for twitter, its ad revenue is awful, and the company is overall loss-making, so i don't see any ethical issue with using/linking to it.
Probably don't even know where that is
Xi Jin Ping must be laughing his ass off seeing this unfold, at this rate at the end of Trump's 2nd Term China will have overtaken the US in all aspects and be the only adult in the room in term of geopolitical power.
That's not fair, he's European, (or at least lives in Europe) that alone gives him more geographical knowledge that 80% of Americans!
Isn't Denmark where the Dutch people live with their pretzels?
To @Red in STL @The Firestarter jokes aside, Ive been meaning to try it still. I do enjoy a lot of British shows. Just dont ask me to acknowledge that too often.
Feck off to the Republicans, the report should be published, this is a sex offender in one of the highest positions in the country.
No, the Dutch folks are the Vikings who got tired of raping and pillaging and just retired to use their fingers to plug leaks
TBH it probably took me moving to the US to show me how good some of British TV is, there are some good American shows that start off great but then get ruined by overdoing it, they essentially become little more than soap operas
Finally, the grand strategy of the Vikings has come to fruition.
Seriously? Seriously?
China, the adult in the room?
I would rather have my entire lifetime of MAGA candidates winning every presidential election from here until 2074 than China gaining more geopolitical relevance.
It would be one hell of a way to trigger and test article 5. Without congressional approval to leave NATO, they would probably be treaty bound to impeach the president if he ordered an invasion of Greenland.
That worked well last time!
I do think his point is there tho: China gaining more relevance under Trump seems far more likely and at the same time it probably doesn't matter that much either. To the last point: it seems unlikely that China will not overtake the US in some metrics in the not too distant future regardless. No matter what people say or try to do it will happen. Just like how save for mass deporting Hispanics/Latin Americans caucasians will become a minority themselves. And id argue stopping China's rise compared to many other things is hopefully optimistic.
Trump will either undermine our power by breaking with traditional alliances in the Pacific or be so erratic that China will either grow more frustrated or simply take advantage of the instability. This is a guy who often feels like is more interested in writing his name in the history books under as many subsections as possible than having a cohesive plan.
That applies as much in Europe as well with Russia and Putin
