"The United States has reached out to Denmark..."

You know, the country the United States wants to invade and forcefully take land from.

America: The dumbest rocks in the sock drawer.

I would love to see NATO countries (besides the US) band together and say:

”We will come together to support our great ally, so long as she saves herself. Upon the acceptance of President Trump's and Vice President Vance's resignation, we will provide the aid that our friend needs."

Trump could, in fact, be the hero here. He could walk away from the presidency with a win. For added measure, these countries could write lofty and wonderful articles about Trump's selflessness.

We know he won't.

Aside: I'm not saying Mike Johnson would make a good president. But let's take this one thing at a time.

Friends! Canadians! Countries of unfamiliar spellings! Lend me your eggs!

But don't send me your poor people. .. Unless they are carrying eggs. Then let them come... we'll keep the eggs and send the people back.

That would increase the prices in the exporting countries. It's not as if there's such a huge surfeit that they're being destroyed.

'Request denied', this is an AI response derived from our 'don't give a damn' American Tech programmers.

Oh now Trump wants allies?

Recognize the passive voice: "The US has reached out". They don't say Trump reached out or the Trump administration reached out.

Hold the line Denmark. Don't pull a fucking Australia. Fuck those guys.

I'm not saying we should...

But negative tariffs on eggs coming out of the USA and ridiculous tariffs on eggs going into the USA would tickle my funny bone

America, Fuck You Asshole!

Maybe I’m uninformed in these things. But isn’t it super easy to get the supply of eggs increased domestically? Even in a country like India which almost has 1.5 billion people, I’ve never heard about a shortage of eggs.
