  1. Trump said he has a “framework” for a deal – Markets back up, maybe I can still retire later this year.

      1. Oh hell! Here I was, thinking all along that we were at the mercy of a Chicomm Carney-shagger.

        1. Nope people are more worried about a president in another country because he isn’t coddling us, doesn’t act like the rest, and well it feels good to ditch America, even though our own government ditched our country not Trump.
          But hey just wait it’s going to get even more exciting 🙂

  2. L – T.D.S. and other current psychological syndromes are due to the efficacy of “military grade” brainwashing. That is a highly developed art overlapping with advertising techniques. People make decisions largely for emotional reasons. If those can be triggered, before much or any relevant facts are known. The engendered prejudice will close the minds of many people to any facts; that might produce enough cognitive dissonance to critically examine the prejudice.

    The sole raison d’être of the “legacy” media here is identical to that in the Soviet Union. Likewise the salaries direct or indirect of said presstitutes sell the ruling regimes narrative. Very few of them could make a living independently telling the truth online.

    The audience higher in Personality Trait Neuroticism has cannot handle the idea that formerly trusted media, government and gov’t. regulated institutions; that their employees prefer to lie or engage in wilful blindness, rather than risk their job by telling the truth.

    1. “The sole raison d’être of the ‘legacy’ media here is identical to that in the Soviet Union.”

      Me, I’m looking forward to the Canadian networks broadcasting Swan Lake on an endless loop for the two days it takes Uncle Sam to make mincemeat out of the elements of what passes for the Canadian armed forces daft enough to resist the overthrow of the Libranos—or for however long it takes to knock out their transmitters for good.

      1. You know that we don’t have to make mincemeat of your armed forces, right?
        I’m afraid the best course of action for us if that should happen is even worse for you, but…is what it is.

        Military grade psychological operations? Only at the most shallow level; that’s why people can see it. TDS is a test run, like Covid. A battlefield shaping pre-event horizon sort of thing.
        Something like Jackson Pollack is more along the lines of a deeper, military grade operation, along with much of the modern music industry.

    2. Larry,
      “Military grade brainwashing” is “highly developed” and you are absolutely spot on! From Edward Bernays (1928!):
      “The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. … We are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes formed, our ideas suggested, largely by men we have never heard of.”

      1. The average human can only hold 13 stories in their head; their entire worldview is shaped by them. Who puts the stories in your head?

  3. Yeah … but he CAN’T have Canada!!

    Looks like Brian Z’s children won’t have to take a bullet to stop Trump from taking Greenland.

    1. Oh, he can’t, can he?

      So why can the Red Chinese have Canada, inquiring minds want to know? President Trump can’t take Canada fast enough for some of us up here.

      1. So … you won’t be engaging in asymmetrical warfare against Trump and the Fascist [sic] American State? Your gray-haired Boomer Canadian womyn will be so disappointed in you.

  4. Thank Donald Trump for the clarification as to who is at the table and who is on the menu
    Would also like to thank Mark Carney for the wonderful speech, yes we have a new world order. The President of the United States gave you instructions as to how it will work.

  5. While I don’t know why Trump needs to buy the cow when he gets the milk for free, I doubt Greenlanders notice anything different with absentee American owners over absentee Danish owners.

    1. Well Trump isn’t getting the milk for free. NATO countries are required to have their own military to defend themselves….Denmark obviously doesn’t have the military to defend Greenland. While the U.S. is apparently allowed to build bases in Greenland, it does so at its own cost and to defend those bases requires the U.S. itself.

      And Greenland would benefit economically from U.S. building activity there just as Europe did with NATO bases there. The local economies around those bases benefit greatly from those bases.

    2. The ‘cow’ has a strong mind to leave the farm, and seek it’s fortunes elsewhere. The Greenland independence movement is gathering steam, and it is only a matter of time before they take that leap. Years, decades.. it’s not a matter of *if*, but rather *when*. There is a serious schism within Greenland’s domestic politics right now that we hear little of. The MSM likes to showcase nationwide and unanimous TDS in Greenland, but the truth is much more complicated. A sizeable portion fall under the ‘pragmatic’ category, they want to bypass the Danes completely, and strike a deal directly with the U.S. The loyalists would like to just steer the course, but the true independents are the unpredictable ones.. they border on delusional.. They have no viable means of founding a proper, independent nation, but they’ve been programmed to loathe the Americans who provide their security, keep the power on, and buy their fish. These people are the folks who would likely fall for the Belt & Road scam China is selling, and allow them ‘development’ access (which will take on military aspects almost right away) when they find out that maintaining and defending a nation is expensive, and they can’t afford it. Trump won’t have China within within arms reach, in the mid flight trajectory of incoming ICBMs, and undermining ‘the golden dome’. The EU is playing a dangerous game with a serious man, and Greenland is along for the ride..

  6. I think this may be one of those negotiations where not much is announced prior to the fat lady singing.

    Busy weekend coming up with the George Washington and Lincoln carrier groups approaching striking distance of Iran. It seems a demonstration of the Golden Dome may be in order.

  7. Greenland is called that because Erik the Red, an Icelandic explorer, named it to attract settlers by suggesting it was a lush and inviting place, despite being mostly covered in ice. The name was intended as a marketing strategy to encourage people to move there.

    Hahahahaha ha ha … Trump isn’t fooled by Erik the Red (Chinese Canadian) … hahahaha ha ha … Trump laughed off the “stealing rare earth minerals” meme as he said there won’t be many mining corp’s. Mining through a mile-deep ice cap. Hahahaha ha ha … the worldwide TDS is pathetically absurd.

  8. May I say, I look forward to an Interstate highway and several new bridges built up the Greenland coast to Nuuk.

  9. Trump had to throw a royal fit and make a total knob of himself to get exactly the same deal with Greenland they’ve had for the last 80 years. In the past the US has had 100 times the troops in Greenland than they have today. The reason they only have 150 space cadets in Greenland and no real troops is because Greenland is zero security threat. The only place more secure from invasion than Greenland is Canada’s Arctic. How do you invade a country that has no roads and no sunlight? Despite Trump’s true feelings being shown, you cannot buy 60,000 brown skinned people for cash in the year 2025. Denmark doesn’t even own Greenland. It is in free association with Greenland. Trump assumes the way you get brown people is to buy them from white people. In a poll 94% of Greenlanders don’t agree.

    1. Huh? you cannot buy 60,000 brown skinned people for cash in the year 2025

      So everything I learned about the evolution of skin color and melanin due to sun exposure (lack thereof in the Arctic) is wrong? So … the Swedes are “brown skinned” people too? Good to know.
