[TexasTowelie]

Donald Trump Jr. is set to visit Greenland weeks after President-elect Donald Trump reiterated interest in owning it, even though it is currently a territory of Denmark. Trump also doubled down on the idea of Canada becoming the 51st after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced his plans to resign. Abby Phillip and her NewsNight panelists discuss.

3. CNN carrying heavy weight trying to sane wash this nonsense

4. Conservative Nazi Network (CNN) treating these tyrant king-style rants as serious news...

….and worth investigating or reporting on other than to laugh at them, is shocking.

CNN is propping up the tyrpant king’s robes here for him. That is NOT characteristic of a serious news organization.

5. Hey cnn, AS YOU KNOW, Greenland and Canada are not for sale.

6. I bet tRump thinks Greenland is as big as South America area-wise, since that's how it looks on a map

a Mercator projection map, that is.

Actually if one superimposes Greenland onto the middle of a map of the U.S, Greenland fits in between the north border of the U.S. and the southern tail of Texas. And its about 1/3 as wide (at its widest point) as it is tall.

Areas in square miles
Greenland; 836k
Texas: 261k (so Greenland is 3.2X larger than Texas)
South America: 6890k (8.2X larger than Greenland)

8. I'm wondering, does Trump intend to demand Congress give him the money for this shit?

9. Nothing of substance, nothing about actual problems facing humanity, all national inquirer all the time.

Climate Catastrophe, nope, not a word about the survival of our next generations.
Poverty, homelessness, economic inequality, nope, not a word about helping all our people live free.
The great American squeeze, nope, not a word about how we cut back food and essentials’ prices.
Private equity home and property ownership and hoarding, nope, nothing about restricting and
dismantling the human packrats and dung beatles.

10. It's a distraction from the sh*tshow that is going to be called the Whitehouse

The media is falling for it, again. JFC
