I read the other day that if all the ice around Greenland melted, it's going to raise sea levels by 20 feet. If even half of that happens, most of Florida will be wiped off the map.

I keep wondering if Trump wants to find a way to make that happen so he can sell new coastline...

Or, if you look at a map, Greenland is a straight shot (ok, so part of Canada in in the way) between the US and Russia.

The only thing you can be sure of, is that Chump doesn't want Greenland for ecological preservation reasons.

It'll wipe out the whole East Coast for sure. Probably Trump Tower as well.

Denmark laughed at him so he called off his trip there. I believe it was scheduled for next week. Oh well...dummy is as dummy does.

It's not much bigger than Alaska.

I know when you dummies look at a map that stretches things out disproportionately near the poles it looks like it's about the size of the continental US, but I assure you it's not.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

Greenland (836,326 mi²) is 1.26 times as big as Alaska (US) (663,264 mi²).

Over the last 24 hours Donald Trump has:

a) Canceled a planned visit to Denmark because they declined to discuss the sale of Greenland.

b) Said the prime minister of Denmark was “nasty” about his proposal to buy Greenland and he’s not going to let her talk to him that way.

c) Accused Jews who support Democrats of being disloyal.

d) Thanked a nutcase conspiracy theorist who said that Israeli Jews “love him like he is the second coming of God.”

e) Confirmed his disloyalty remark: “If you vote for a Democrat, you’re being disloyal to the Jewish people and you’re being very disloyal to Israel.”

f) Explained that Kashmir is a difficult problem because “You have Hindus and you have the Muslims and I wouldn’t say they get along so great.”

g) Told reporters “I am the chosen one” to take on China.

This is not the behavior of a man in control of his faculties. It’s just not.

I fail to see how the Democrats racist and anti-Semitic platform of 2019 has anything to do with the size of Greenland, but whatever floats your boat.

You DO understand that the ice ISN'T a flat sheet, right??? The ice sheet is over 10,000! feet thick at it's thickest point.






Summer this year is hitting Greenland hard with record-shattering heat and extreme melt. By the end of the summer, about 440 billion tons of ice — maybe more — will have melted or calved off Greenland's giant ice sheet, scientists estimate. That's enough water to flood Pennsylvania or the country of Greece about a foot deep.

In just the five days from July 31 to Aug. 3, more than 58 billion tons melted from the surface. That's over 40 billion tons more than the average for this time of year. And that 58 billion tons doesn't even count the huge calving events or the warm water eating away at the glaciers from below, which may be a huge factor.

Why bother complaining at this point, his base doesn't want to see the Chumpy Springer Show shut down. They lack to faculties to understand they lack the faculties to see what a lack of faculties IS.

AT least hubbs and I are on the same page, should the bloated basshole try to not leave office....I asked what he would do and he said "I took an oath to defend the constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic. The day he tries to not leave office when his time is up is the day I take my firearms and go defend me some constitution."

You coming with, Second?
