It is real!

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.”
These people are fucking retarded.
As an autistic person, I wholeheartedly agree.
I fucking love the modlog on Lemmy.
Removed indeed!
Trump given power
No, he hasn’t. Congress hasn’t passed it – it’s just been introduced as a bill.
One House Representative introduced it and then released the statement.
Sorry about the source. The title is misleading.
Sure, not saying that you’re at fault or anything.
It doesn’t matter. The US as a whole has no authority to decide what places outside of its territory are called. Sure, you can change what you call it, but the rest of the world won’t.
I mean, the bill isn’t going to pass, but it’s proposing buying it and then renaming it.
Anymore, I wouldn’t have that much confidence in something not passing no matter how batshit it is
Truly this will make eggs cheaper
Red, White, and Blueland
Does this mean France, and Russia, and every other country with those colors in their flags also have claims to that land?
Sure, whatever. We’re living in the clown timeline anyway.
hey be nice to the clowns this timeline is worse
I’m sure he is just referencing Norway which originally claimed the land before “somehow” Denmark got it, right?
This has to be ragebait cover for something else, right?
Like even the dimmest, least self aware, MAGA-hat-wearing dumbass would feel embarrassed to say “Red, White, and Blueland” out loud.
Right???
It’s bait for the media (and everyone else) so they have something funny to feed their audience and can pretend it’s just silly nonsense while ignoring the part that authorizes the “President” to acquire Greenland.
You think too highly of them, but this is probably rage bait. If they could feel embarrassment they wouldn’t have voted for Trump the first time let alone once more. One way to begin to understand the MAGA mindset is by reading Settlers.
The geopolitical fanfiction writes itself. Renaming Greenland like some corporate rebrand desperate to distract from melting assets – national security theater now starring spray-painted glaciers. The cognitive contortions needed to frame territorial karaoke as “strategic expansion” would earn Olympic gold in mental gymnastics.
They’ve upgraded from labeling dissenters “anti-American” to legislating cartographic fanfic. Six-month bureaucratic deadlines for rewriting maps? Peak legislative productivity achieved while infrastructure crumbles and healthcare implodes. At least the Sharpie industry thrives.
Denmark’s diplomatic eye-roll echoes through the performative patriotism. Soft power evolves into PowerPoint jingoism – why address rising seas when you can rename them? The real climate action? Mandating all future hurricanes adopt surnames from Founding Fathers. Priorities, people.
This government is stupider and more childish than any TikTok challenge to date… combined
I’m fairly certain this is real news and not a parody.
Edit: Yes it is: https://buddycarter.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=15398
I thought I was genuinely being tricked when reading this article. Thank you for providing a source.
The EU should come together and rename USA as “Lalaland”. Since that’s apparently a thing countries do now?
Oh look it’s the United States Congress version of shitposting.
This is worse than some parodies
I fully expected Trump to drag America in a farcical dictatorship if he was reelected.
I just expected it to take longer.
I honestly assumed the Dems wouldn’t fuck the pooch so hard they lost control of literally everything, and we’d get four years of slightly worse status quo as they try to run everything through the SC for a rubber stamp
🤷♂️
there’s no way we’re not living in a simulation. it fucking sucks. Please, somebody delete me right now I don’t want to play anymore 😭
This “buddy” is so nose deep up Trumps ass that he just climbed out of his mouth
RFK Jr had a brain worm, so Buddy wanted to be Trump’s tapeworm
In other news, Republicans vote to turn Congress into giant MAGA circle jerk.
It’s come (cum?) true: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/ErgXG--UcAE0pGw?format=jpg&name=small
