US - Greenland Crisis Thread

You need to exit your facebook bubble and rejoin the real world. 77 million americans voted for Trump. You can blame your handful of bogeyman leftists all you want, the fact remains that 77 million of your countrymen voted for this.

Blame the scorpion for doing what it does or the frog for being naive?

Republicans vote Republican.  Sometimes, rarely, some of them don't vote.  But that's a given they will not vote for a Democrat, even if it was Hitler with Himmler on the Republican ticket.  Well, maybe now it's be different.  But you get the drift.

Democrats and independents however, I have to side with Raz.  It was their duty to block Trump.  They failed.

But that releases the right wing voter of their culpability. It's not their fault they voted as they did, it's the libtards fault for not stopping them. Who's to blame, the idiot that set the fire and cheers it on or the idiot who stood there thinking the fire wouldn't burn that bright?*



*another one of my patented crappy analogies. You're welcome

Meh.  
Dems also closed the ranks on Bill Clinton and tried as much as they could to destroy a certain Monica Lewinsky.  It went way beyond "this is something that happened between two consenting adults".  Dems voted for Dems, no matter what he did because he was a Democrat President.

Many Dems also defended Clarence Thomas against his accusation of sexual harassement.  They had the majority and could have rejected his nomination back then.  I've even seen critics of Biden's role in the nomination process at the time, despite his "no" vote.

A majority of black voters back then supported Thomas nomination, because he was black and refused to believe Hill's testimony.  Color was more important than principle.

Where black Americans at fault for their support?  Ultimately, a political party leans toward it's voters.

No one releases right-wingers from their culpability. 

It's really weird:  Zoupa is complaining that I live in a information bubble for reading the opinions of people I disagree with.

There's an entire cottage industry of semi-awful to full awful AI slop around Greenland. This song I leave to your own classification. 

The sound and vibe is like an early 80's forestry motivational song, how we must plant trees in Iceland to restore the land to it's former glory back when I was in 3rd grade. . Norwegian part is raising money during a telethon for a famine in Ethiopia.  The Icelandic part has a distinct Norwegian accent which actually makes it sound closer to 13th century Old Norse.   The other Nordic languages sound very..sedate. The AI is getting there I guess but it's still very...average.

While I voted for Bob Dole just because I hated Bill Clinton so much, in defense of my fellow Dems the 1996 election happened before any of this Lewinsky shit was made public. As far as the general public knew, Bill was just some cheeky boy who cheated on his wife once and was very very sorry. Boys will be boys and all that.

Who knows how things would have gone if the election had been held after the scandal had gone public.

Whereas the fact that Donald Trump raped multiple women was public knowledge before he ever sought the Republican nomination in 2015. It is just that nobody cared. The fact that Trump had also cheated on all of his wives never even registered to anybody as a problem. For the party of the Christian moralists mind you...

or the party of the Christian moralists mind you...

They have always been big on various pedo preachers, gay preachers, cheating preachers, sexual predator preachers, really not a surprise.

So long as you don't rape kids while being trans I guess it is ok.

It's called Iceland, not only is there no Ice, but there were also trees?  Scandinavians suck at marketing.  

(I always forget about the medieval warm period)

You can't fight in here, this is the Greenland thread!

Let me see your arctic gear. Valmy! Those loafers are not arctic certified!

Btw, thanks for arctic detachment and cutters.

When did the Democrats try "as much as they could to destroy a certain Monica Lewinsky?" She wasn't cooperating with the investigation, so clearly they were not trying to "destroy" her lest she change her tune. After the investigation, there would have been no motive to "destroy" her.

Creating false equivalencies to score rhetorical points is what I hate in politicians and social media posters.
