CNN Gave Us ALL The Middle Finger on Christmas Eve

Written by Ben Meiselas

CNN has lost its damn mind! No wonder its ratings are in the dumps.

Yesterday, I was sitting around the Christmas tree with my family when my nephew asked me about the Louisiana Purchase.

I thought it was an inquisitive question, so I asked why he brought it up.

He said CNN reported that if Donald Trump “takes over” Greenland, it would be the most significant acquisition of territory by the United States since the Louisiana Purchase.

And if the orange maggot attempts it he will start world war 3. And these countries will fight back. And I don’t think alot of those overweight idiot magas will be willing to fight and diein wars for the orange monsters ego. And just think of the disaster it would be under the Sec of Defense idiot Hegseth!!!!!!😂🤣

is that if Greenland were actually up for sale, Canada would be the natural best ownership candidate given its location adjacent to Greenland. That would make Canada even more important from a natural resource perspective. There's no way the U.S. has a legitimate claim to Greenland other than the fact that we have a military base there. Of course, if that were the main criterion, we would own much of the world, as we seem to have bases nearly everywhere.

I’m waiting for Greenland or maybe it’s Denmark to cancel the US military base lease. I’d do it if I were them.

and tell them why you're doing it. And then don't turn them back on.

Here's their contact information:

Continuing to watch that crap makes you complicit in what they're doing. Please don't support them.

I see a hopefully inadvertent "c" in there.

In the case of the US, though, I don't see the need for additional space, as our population fits quite nicely already with room to spare. Greenland might be a good place to store T****'s and Eloon's vast egos, however. They could be frozen in the glaciers like an old woolly mammoth.

I would say the purchase of Alaska is much more significant than Greenland.
