It’s a trap! Buy the car made of bricks!

The consolidation of his power is probably true, but even in that context I’d say demonizing Denmark is probably a swing and a miss. I still say there’s no plausible chain of events where this ends with Greenland as part of the United States.

I’m genuinely confused: why is anybody talking about this like it’s a serious proposal?

Then you can deal with the “It might be rude for me to leave now. I’ll just stay a little longer.” “Okay, just 15 more minutes.” “Okay, at the top of the hour, I’ll leave.” “Someone just got here, so I’ll stay another half hour so they don’t think I’m leaving just because they got here.”

I’d expect Galadriel to be very much in the “The only good orc is a dead orc” camp. That’s based purely on vibes, I don’t recall anything about it in the LOTR books and I never could finish The Silmarillion.

And then they get real snippy when you say “all words are made up.”

So this bit is historically accurate? It’s hard to believe nowadays that Family Guy was once clever…

I recall reading early on that DNC campaign advisers were recommending against continuing with the “weird” rhetoric, and the article mentioned some specific people who had worked on the 2016 campaign. It floored me that those people still had jobs. I guess they got their way eventually. I now have no expectation that they won’t be doing the same shit in 2028.

DNC Leadership would rather lose with a neoliberal candidate than win with a progressive one.
