So within a span of two days Biden's wife made a video saying that even though Biden's plans may suck, you should still vote for him and also his brain surgeon assured everyone that Biden does not, in fact, suffer from brain damage.

Trump has a knack for pulling back the veil and presenting right wing ideals in their most pure, honest form. Evangelical, right wing positions on Israel are about as anti-Semitic and ugly as you can get. Jews are just pawns for Evangelicals in an apocalyptic endgame prophesy. But they can't come out and say that so every 2-4 years we hear about who is really a "friend of Israel" and who isn't. Trump has no time for subtlety and of course loves to present his pawns for all to see, in blatant political fashion.

Same thing with how he talks about black people/issues. It boils down to "black people want to be given things" so he frees a black man here or there as if that's going to buy him some votes.

Hmm, I'm not sure the evangelicals are hiding that, nor does Israel really care what the reasons are. And hey, religious dogma is certainly more dependable and consistent than say, the whims of at-best eight-year administrations. Ask Iran how the US treats Middle Eastern deals when there's no theological scruples on the issue.

the Norwegian crown was blended with Denmark for like 300 years, then when they broke up Denmark got it in the divorce

every so often they talk about independence but there's only like 50-60,000 people

Following World War II, the United States developed a geopolitical interest in Greenland, and in 1946 the United States offered to buy the island from Denmark for $100,000,000. Denmark refused to sell it.[56][57] Historically this repeated an interest by Secretary of State William H. Seward. In 1867 he worked with former senator Robert J. Walker to explore the possibility of buying Greenland and perhaps Iceland. Opposition in Congress ended this project.[58] In the 21st century, the United States, according to WikiLeaks, remains interested in investing in the resource base of Greenland and in tapping hydrocarbons off the Greenlandic coast.[59][60]

In 1950, Denmark agreed to allow the US to reestablish Thule Air Base in Greenland; it was greatly expanded between 1951 and 1953 as part of a unified NATO Cold War defense strategy. The local population of three nearby villages was moved more than 100 kilometres (62 mi) away in the winter. The United States tried to construct a subterranean network of secret nuclear missile launch sites in the Greenlandic ice cap, named Project Iceworm. It managed this project from Camp Century from 1960 to 1966 before abandoning it as unworkable.[61] The Danish government did not become aware of the program's mission until 1997, when they discovered it while looking for records related to the crash of a nuclear-equipped B-52 bomber at Thule in 1968.[62]

If the U.S. gets greenland, Canada gets to finally annex the Turks and Caicos Islands. It's only fair.

Trump is consistently about putting his own interest ahead of the country's. The worst part is that his base either (a) doesn't realize it or, (b) thinks that it's smart to look out for The Duke A-Number-One.

Trump is a tax on the stupid, that has bled over into the neurotypical.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. board voted 3-1 Tuesday to give big banks more leeway to make risky short-term bets in financial markets by loosening a landmark but highly contentious regulation known as the Volcker rule.

The FDIC and four other independent agencies have dropped their proposal to tie the rule to a strict accounting standard — a move that banks argued would have made it more burdensome by subjecting additional trades to heightened supervision. Instead, regulators will give banks the benefit of the doubt on a much wider range of trades, according to the text of the final rule.

If someone offered to buy California, he would make a really big show of considering it.

And then later chastise them for not supporting him after he saved them from being a part of Russia.

What I like most about this, is that Trump thinks he's the chosen one send to earth with the important mission to take on the unfair trade practices of China.
And his divine intervention has to wait until after the Christmas season to not hurt the sales of WalMart, Apple and Amazon.
