The way it reads he seems to be saying that American Jews are not loyal Israel

If that's what he meant, I'd call such loyalty a good thing.

I doubt that's what he meant. though.  I have no idea what he does mean, either, since Jewish voters have traditionally been mostly Democratic, and as best as I can tell, that's been true ever since there was first a Democratic Party.

Trump cancels visit to Denmark, because they don't want to talk about selling Greenland. :wacko:

Denmark is a very special country with incredible people, but based on Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen's comments, that she would have no interest in discussing the purchase of Greenland, I will be postponing our meeting scheduled in two weeks for another time

The Prime Minister was able to save a great deal of expense and effort for both the United States and Denmark by being so direct. I thank her for that and look forward to rescheduling sometime in the future!

Are you suggesting you are not loyal to Rome? :yeahright:


I am as loyal to Rome as Cardinal Richelieu.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

What's the comparison? Israel is same to Jews as Pope is to catholics?

I hear there are even Israelis who didn't vote for Bibi. Disloyalty everywhere!

Eddie is a good example of how anti Semitic tropes have gone mainstream.  But Eddie amplified the idiocy and drew upon anti Papist tropes as well.

@DPS What is wrong with it is the underlying white nationalist trope that Jewish Americans' first loyalty is not to the US which makes Jews less trustworthy.

I'm guessing that this whole Greenland thing was started due to laziness. Trump didn't want to got to Denmark, now he doesn't have to.

I think the Greenland thing is so he can name a US territory after himself.  He keeps saying that Greenland is strategic, which is true.  The problem though is that the US already has bases that meet our strategic needs.  The rest of Greenland is a wasteland with poverty stricken Inuit.

Maybe I misunderstand how the Kingdom of Denmark functions but I am pretty sure we are past the age where countries can just sell away their colonial minions to other great powers. Pretty sure some kind of referendum on that kind of sale would have pass in both Denmark and Greenland for that to work. Or maybe just Greenland, again I am not some kind of expert on Denmark's constitution.

Denmark should have offered to buy Puerto Rico instead. Trump might actually consider it.
