Yes but dont want to be greedy, they have that rail Dawson tto Whitehorse, which is on my list of far off FORIEGN places to visit.. LOL

Sorry, my point was unclear. You want Alberta and BC so that you can drive to Alaska without going through Canada. You can’t drive to Alaska without going through the Yukon, so you’ll need it as well to accomplish your goal.

Amazing, not a cop in sight.

Not surprising given Tim’s verbal diarrhea and complete lack of action in previous property destruction in riots, but It’s optics manufacturing.

He’s setting the stage for a strong reaction so that he can then be the champion of the oppressed.

Greenland with a fight, seems like its heating up , heard one report that the Danish troops have arrived ,a battalion to Greenland with orders to fire on the Americans if needed, sounds like hype to me. Interesting too see if article 5 invokes as the prior seems to be jumping ahead. France as well is throwing a tantrum. I think Trump has finally got his overload in deals to be made, Also seems Ukraine is on the low importance list for NATO as Greenland is now so important. Throw in Canada, Iran ,Venezuela ,Columbia, A tea spoon of Africa and Syria and Minnesota, 2026 is indeed going to be Interesting.. Personally I think the real enemy is China, followed by Putin's regime.

There will not be a situation where Danish troops fire on Americans in spite what some click baiting far right bloggers or on line pubs may claim.

Make sense that the USA is lower than a lot of other countries as we are a melting pot and the others are not as diverse.

I can't resist posting this here - despite the profanity. It is both hunting and politics related and clearly illustrates the catastrophic decline of sanity we are facing. I am beginning to wonder if this "Karenism" isn't simply menopause related. In any case, notice how much she does sound like a chicken.

That just made my heart smile!

A decade in Austin taught me that most of these super aggressive boomer women were at one time married and filed for divorce.... only to realize how hard life is when they have to navigate it solo; the true psychosis comes in after they see their ex-husband remarry(usually younger woman) and his life continues to improve.

It is always refreshing to see a republican politician not afraid of Trump.

So apparently do NINETY-SIX PERCENT of the American People. I am certainly one of them. This does not fall into the winning issue category with an election on the horizon.

Seizing Greenland might be the least popular idea in American political history

This foolish, bellicose idea is running up against the "Lizardman's Constant."

Trump is an axxhole, and a big one at that. If fact in a room full of axxholes, he would say, " I am the biggest axxhole there ever was!" He may be correct in that.

We are all however wise enough by now to know President Trump’s modus operandi. Throw a handful of crap against the wall to see what sticks!

Does everyone remember when Trump threatened to leave NATO because the USA was paying a higher percentage of GDP than were the European countries that need the most protection? Granted, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine was certainly the biggest factor in encouraging European countries to increase their military spending. That stated, Trump was correct.

We should also all know that Trump is a big axxhole! If he would lock up his ego and make some better decisions, not be so verbose such as the USA should invade Greenland and so on, and frankly, quit worrying about who gets the credit, history would remember his as great! “There is no limit to the good one can do, so long as they do not worry about who gets the credit!”

All the above stated, Trump is by far a better President than was Biden or what Harris would have been. Trump is a businessman who makes deals for the United States. It may seem that he is getting rich from being President but I doubt it. Is his family? Probably they ride on his coat tails! Trump could have a quiet life enjoying his accomplishments but his ego won’t allow him to throttle back. Lacking a Ronald Reagan or John Kennedy, or frankly one of our more accomplished AH members running for President, Trump is the best we have at present.

Becoming President is more than ability, it also has much if not more to do with their celebrity. Reagan was the Great Communicator. Cleary his ability to speak and motivate the masses, to make cleaver jokes, and smile when necessary, was a strong part of his ability.

The preceding stated, I like Rubio, Vance, and DeSantis. Of them, I think Vance is the best orator followed by Rubio. If DeSantis could speak as does Vance, DeSantis would be President. Hegseth is a communicator if nothing more. He may be the least qualified Secretary of War (Defense) but he can speak and motivate many.

For me, in my first unit as a new USMC Warrant Officer, my Commanding Officer told me that he expected loyalty from his officers. “If I can’t trust you, I will get rid of you.” That came from a very forgiving Marine Lieutenant Colonel who was also a Mormon Bishop. Trust was paramount to him as it is to me today. Trump’s executives are loyal to him. Vance is a good “Vice” President carrying out his bosses’ orders. I think they all are.

Would Vance, Rubio, Hegseth and other Cabinet executives conduct business differently if they were the President? Probably, but they are not. For the senior retired or active military officers reading this, if I were a swashbuckling Chief Warrant Officer or Limited Duty Captain under your command and didn’t follow your direction, how long would I last? Chances are I would have no longer been your Radar Maintenance or Communications and Electronics Officer, I would have had a career-ending Temporary Additional Duty (TAD/TDY) assignment as the special services (gym, stables, and so on) officer.

Most people of any wisdom find some fault with Trump, especially his personal conduct. Would we other than in our better conduct, be able to do a better job overall as President?

Life has gotten so crazy that it is blurring the lines between the Politics, and the On A Lighter Note threads....but it is amusing, to say the least.

Just found it on Facebook, Might this be a winning strategy?

 

[wesheltonj]

So Trump says we are going to take Greenland and NATO sends troops to protect Greenland. Where were these NATO troops to "protect" Greenland before Trump made the threat? Not in Greenland. He may be a jerk, but he gets what he wants real western defense of Greenland without the USA loading up US installations current and former. Would the USA like to purchase Greenland too, sure.

Tanks,
Your president makes exceptions with the stroke of a pen.
The whole of Europe is puzzling over how this is always possible without a parliamentary decision.
Turbulent times.
Foxi

In part it’s because both parties have consistently increased the limits of presidential power and authority when they hold power. They always lament it when they are out of power but are also too short sighted to rein it in when they come back into dominance.

Presidential Power Surges - Harvard Law School

Particular moments in history and strategic breaks with unwritten rules have helped many U.S. presidents expand their powers incrementally, leading some to wonder how wide-ranging presidential powers can be.

I’m always astonished that anti-hunters will suggest that hunters are bloodthirsty psychopaths and then proceed to harass an armed group of said psychopaths.
