Rep. Earl L. “Buddy” Carter (R-GA) released the following statement today after introducing a bill authorizing President Trump to acquire Greenland and renaming it Red, White, and Blueland:

“America is back and will soon be bigger than ever with the addition of Red, White, and Blueland. President Trump has correctly identified the purchase of what is now Greenland as a national security priority, and we will proudly welcome its people to join the freest nation to ever exist when our Negotiator-in-Chief inks this monumental deal.”

    Every other country should unanimously vote to call the USA something stupid since apparently countries can just rename other countries

      I mean countries have always done that, just not quite this stupid but also often very stupid. People in Japan call their country Nippon, not Japan. People in Germany call their country Deutschland. There’s a ton of countries that English just straight up changed the names of for reasons varying from some form of probable racism to misunderstanding that they never bothered resolving.

      I’m not defending this move, it’s dumb as hell. Just pointing out that “dumb as hell” isn’t new.

    This is what our elected representatives believe is important. This is what they are wasting our tax dollars on. Burn it all down.

      To be fair, I’d be very happy if they were to waste all their time, money and effort on just renaming shit. I mean, go crazy, the sky is the limit, make up some ridiculous names for things.

      At least then they wouldn’t have time to actually do fucked-up shit.
