trump again says he will take Greenland one way or another. That sounds like something a rapist would say.

This social media influencer is crying because ICE took her dad. He is 77 with medical problems and moved from Iran 60 years ago. What she does not tell you is that she is maga. What an idiot.

Trump thread 2.0
 
Cheeto flips off a Ford auto plant worker.

He gives a couple of F bombs and a middle finger salute to that worker after the worker calls him a “pedophile protector.” :lawl:

I like how the various medias are arguing about whether it was a middle finger or not and the legitimate reason its harder to tell is how tiny his hands are.

Lol, I’m actually shocked that someone his size could have such tiny hands. I bet his feet are small as well.

President Donald Trump is funneling proceeds from the sale of Venezuelan oil to a bank account in Qatar, Semafor reported on Wednesday.

Quote:

This month, Trump ordered an invasion of Venezuela and the abduction of President Nicolas Maduro, who was whisked to the U.S. to face federal drug trafficking charges. The move was the culmination of a months-long campaign of aggression against Venezuela, boats from which were bombed by the U.S. for allegedly carrying drugs. The U.S. also seized two oil tankers from the country. After the invasion, Trump said that “we’re going to keep the oil.”

Semafor reported that the Trump administration’s first sale of Venezuelan oil was valued at $500 million, and that the money is being held in multiple bank accounts, the biggest of which is in Qatar:

Revenue from the oil sales is currently being held in bank accounts controlled by the US government, as indicated in Friday’s order, according to the administration official. The main account, according to a second senior administration official, is located in Qatar.

The second official described Qatar as a neutral location where money can flow freely with US approval and without risk of seizure. Trump’s order noted that at least some of the revenue would be held in US Treasury accounts.

It is unclear why money held in Qatar would be at less of a “risk of seizure” than money held in a bank account in the U.S. Furthermore, it is not clear who or what the Trump administration believes might try to seize – or freeze – the cash.

“There is no basis in law for a president to set up an offshore account that he controls so that he can sell assets seized by the American military,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), the ranking member of the Senate Finance Committee, told Semafor. “That is precisely a move that a corrupt politician would be attracted to.”

In May, the Qatari royal family gave Trump a $400 million luxury plane. The gift came as Trump’s family business had secured a deal to build a golf resort in the oil-rich country.

Trump has his tiny hands on Venezuela, wants to get Cuba, threatening Iran, Greenland, calling in the army to Minnesota ... the distraction method is really working.

Germany, Sweden, France, Norway, the Netherlands and Finland have all since confirmed they are sending military personnel to Greenland this week.

French President Emmanuel Macron said Thursday that a French military team was “already on the ground” and would be reinforced in the coming days with “air, sea and land components.”


From the CNN article:

In a statement Wednesday, the German Defense Ministry said it was sending a “reconnaissance team” of 13 military personnel to Greenland Thursday for “an exploration mission” alongside other partner nations, at Denmark’s invitation.

Sweden also sent an unspecified number of troops to Greenland Wednesday at Denmark’s request, Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson announced on X. The Swedish officers will be part of a group of troops from other allied countries who will together prepare for an upcoming exercise called Operation Arctic Endurance, he added.

Will Trump become TACO and chicken out of sending the U.S. military to annex Greenland by force?

Willl Cheeto follow through on his threats?


The U.S. military against the military of six European countries.

Interesting.

Canad would be a part of that because of NATO's article 5.

Quote:

According to Article 5, Parties to the North Atlantic Treaty “agree” to assist States that are the victims of an armed attack. This is a legal obligation, not a merely hortatory one.
The US also has military bases across Europe and in Canada. I wonder what would happenen to them and the Americans working inside of them.

IF the US does try to invade Greenland, NATO is dissolved. It's over for NATO.

European countries would tell Cheeto to send his Yankee troops home and close all American military bases across Europe.

Putin would be rubbing his hands at the chance to invade Europe.


Cheeto doesn't just "need Greenland" as a security buffer against Russia and China. That is a half-truth.

It's all smoke and mirrors from him.

He wants Greenland's rare earth minerals and possible oil deposits.

He is being a greedy bastard bully again.

Gumby 01-15-2026 08:49 AM

The moment NATO is dissolved, I wonder if NATO is allowed to attack the bases that are within its territories.

Edit: I guess I should say - if the countries can attack an opponent's bases that happen to be within its borders.

This is fascinating if true, from a logistical standpoint it's quite amazing how quickly his team is able to make these types of moves.

Badhobz 01-15-2026 10:23 AM

Every time i think hes at the limits of his grifting and self-enrichment, this guy takes it another step further.

amazing! hes so damn out there, so damn crazy that hes reshaping the global order. for better or worse, the changes this idiot is making on a global scale within a year of his 2nd term is insane. Most shit disturbing, disruptive presidency ever.

Traum 01-15-2026 12:33 PM

Oh it's only happening bcos of...

- the absolutely spineless GOP members in Congress
- Trump's grip on the GOP in general
- the absolutely spineless and direction-less Democrats
- the SCOTUS
- the batshxt crazy MAGA people

in a normal children fairytale, this is the time when some sort of unassuming small time dude starts off his adventure to overturn the evil emperor. But no, of course we don't have that in real life.

It's been floated that if the US attacks Greenland that the EU could confiscate all US bases located in the EU. An US attack on Greenland amounts to violation of the NATO treaty which is what protects US military assets - this act of war would open the door for NATO nations to confiscate US military assets that are located in their countries (this would also be considered an act of war but at this point who's counting?).

It would make sense that EU nations would, at a minimum, secure their borders from the US which naturally should/would lead to any US military assets being put under EU control - at this point it'd be considered war seizure and not confiscation since the US and NATO would be at war once an invasion took place. All US troops in NATO countries would likely be arrested at this point - we're talking around 80,000 troops.

It's a crazy scenario (ChatGPT makes it sound like it's impossible) but has any of the shit that has happened in the past month not been totally crazy (and illegal)?

I'm surprised that NATO hasn't come out and told the US that if they invade Greenland that they would seize all US military assets in their lands - this would set the US back a century in terms of their ability to project power, they'd be handing China global dominance as a result.

Agreed 100%. What, would the US expect its former NATO allies to just ignore the US military assets within their borders? Everybody is just too chickenshit to tell the Trump administration the consequences of their actions.

The fact that we are even having this conversation just boggles my mind.
