Leaders of the bipartisan delegation said most Americans don’t want to acquire the territory, and thousands of Danes joined “Hands-off Greenland” protests.

Americans don’t want to conquer Greenland; just Trump those paying bribes (billionaires) or using blackmail (Putin)

    I have to tell you that I want to believe I really do. It would be so much better than accepting that the majority of American voters chose this future. In your view, is it just small modifications in swing states which gave Trump the electoral college or do you believe this impacts total vote count to a degree that it changes the overall majority vote count? What I’m getting at is, do you believe the vote manipulation only delivered the electoral college or do you believe that the majority of voters did indeed vote against trump? For me, if it was just the electoral college, it changes little in my opinion of the state of our country. If it’s the actual majority vote, that shows a path to redemption.

      I definitely think it was far beyond the actual vote. They didn’t just nudge it enough to game the electoral college, although it’s essentially the same thing - win the popular vote, and you get ALL the Electoral votes. So either way, they are disenfranchising the winning margin.

      But winning wasn’t the ONLY objective. They wanted to smooch his big fat porky ass, so they wanted to deliver the first Republican popular vote winner since 1980. So they went a little crazy, and delivered a ludicrously implausible victory.

      Millions of straight Democratic ballots, with Trump at the top.

      Concentrated in Swing States.

      Multiple hacking teams on the case, by foreign Oligarchs.

      As if that isn’t adding up for you, add in that he has cheated at literally EVERYTHING in his entire life, and that he absolutely required this victory to avoid a life sentence in Federal prison. Are we to believe that the first time he did ANYTHING without cheating, “Fair & Square,” is the one election that would keep him out of a life sentence in prison?
