"Just because they crossed the Bering Strait doesn't mean they own the land."
Listen to Stephen Miller talk about Venezuela. He's very much on the might makes right train.
When they invade Africa: “Just because they evolved from proto human hominoids here, doesn’t mean they own the land.”
I will do no such thing.
Reminds me of that time some US politician said that native Americans should go back where they came from
I think that was Kyle Shittenhouse
It was some mayor or something like that. It was reported in a post here on Lemmy, I remember writing a comment or two in there but it was a year (or two) ago and I can't find it.

Holy fucking shit.
This timeline just keeps getting dumber.
This is the fucking savior of half of the voting population of the United States.

The onion is in trouble
Or will become the only honest news source.
It’s been training its whole life for this administration!
They did pick up a lot of the Teen Cosmo staff.
I honestly can't tell if satire is dead or satire is now so easy nobody can make a living from it.
Only last week I made a joke about Musk locking CSAM generation behind Grok Premium, and yesterday he did exactly that...
He is simply and clearly steering towards WW3.
He needs oil to power the army, Venezuela provides him with the resources. He has just increased the military budget by 50% to 1.5 trillion dollars. You don't need 1.5 trillion dollars for defence. He renamed the department of defense to department of War. It's always right in front of your nose with this guy, but everyone refuses to believe someone can be such a retard.
This is not a "Trump problem".
He's the scapegoat, he's the public stumbling goofy sun-downing mook.
If Trump dies tomorrow, the machine will keep running.
It's always been the Department of War, regardless of the name.

Native Americans: first time?
Who can still take this ridiculous saber rattling by the orange rapist seriously when it is completely obvious that he is only trying to distract attention from his crimes? It's really getting old.

He literally just kidnapped the head of state of another country using military force.
"An attempt to distract from his crimes" and "A serious threat to international peace" are not mutually exclusive.

If you solve domestic political problems with foreign policy, then you have arrived in the middle of authoritarianism.
Yes, I consider that a given: it's the classic autocratic strategy.
Sorry but this is not correct. He is not only trying to distract from the Epstein files. It will take years to not only build but actually prosecute a criminal case against him and he’s a billionaire. Please stop making it sound so simple when it’s so much more dangerous than that
He wants to do big and dramatic things and truly live as the most powerful person on earth and you should take everything he says seriously until proven otherwise.
His administration is filled with proactively violent enablers and ideologues who are not only responsible for wanting Greenland in the first place but will happily carry out his deranged orders if he thinks listening to them will make him a great historical figure

this is entirely consistent with their worldview that owning something by force makes it right
"Might makes right"
This is satire, right? Right?
Also doesn't take away from the fact that Trump is a pedophile.
This is missing the rest of it where he says "we were probably there too" (paraphrasing, I don't remember what was actually said) implying that either the US or white people were there 500 years ago. It is really ridiculous.
"And by the way, I'm a fan of Denmark, too, I have to tell you. ... But, you know, the fact that they had a boat land there 500 years ago doesn't mean that they own the land. I'm sure we had lots of boats go there also," he said.
Fun fact the medieval Norse colony of Greenland predates the migration of the Inuit to the region. This has no bearing on anything because all of those people died, left, or assimilated with the Inuit.
But regardless the Danes have probably the third strongest claim to the land. The US has fuck all claim to the territory and I hope to see my beloved Republic freed from these profligates in DC.

Say it again but about the mayflower
"But what is time really? 500 years, 50 years - I can't even remember any of my last presidency, but I'm told it was tremendous."
is this actually real? 😲
mr orange man needs a history lesson of america
This is what you voted for USAians. And there isn't a damn thing you can do about it. Literally nothing. They'll kill you in your cars with "absolute immunity" if you even think about it.
Hoo rah.... indeed.

He doesn't think Americans own America either, he thinks he does.
