Like they vowed to block Trump from doing whatever he wanted in Venezuela?
Fuck off Republicans. Stop acting like you’re gonna stand up to your Dear Leader. We all know you’ll do whatever he wants.
You mofos won’t do shit but kiss his ass and bend the knee ya freaking traitorous liar’s
I think I’ve heard this one before
Sure they do. Let’s look at how the opening act went yesterday in the Senate. At best a few of the ones up for election in risky areas might be allowed to “vote their conscience” so long as there are enough votes for a Trump win.
The US is going to annex Greenland, this is now an inevitability. Everyone from outside the US, please start demanding your governments sanction the US right after it happens.
Yes, I personally think sanctions against the US should have happened a while ago, but right after they steal Greenland is by far the time when the idea will have the most momentum and mass appeal, so let’s capitalise on that.
Cool, and what happens if he still does it
The United States owes enormous sums to Europe, making the EU one of its largest foreign creditors. Japan is now the single largest foreign holder of U.S. government debt, holding about 45 percent more than China according to U.S. Treasury data. It is a remarkable paradox that the United States has built up such extensive debts to its main geopolitical competitors. U.S. hegemony, in reality, depends largely on the willingness of the rest of the world to sustain the system.
For the EU, it is primarily military advantages and security guarantees that justify accepting the dollar’s dominance. But if, for example, the EU were to challenge the petrodollar in response to a potential escalation of the Greenland conflict, it would deal a severe blow to the American economy in the medium term. The U.S. remains “top of the hill” only as long as the rest of the world sees it as economically and strategically advantageous to uphold the system. Should America step back from NATO and the EU be forced to stand alone, there would be little reason for Europe to maintain the dollar as the world’s reserve currency.
Even Trump’s tariffs complicate this balance. He is, in effect, playing a high-stakes game.
It is also significant that China has sided with the EU on Greenland. The U.S. cannot afford for both China and the EU to abandon the dollar as a global currency. It would be catastrophic for the American economy.
The most sensible path remains for the U.S. to exercise its current military rights in Greenland while the EU and U.S. jointly invest in the territory, thereby breaking China’s monopoly on certain critical minerals.
And other republicans introduced a bill to make Greenland a state and authorize trump to „to take such steps as may be necessary, including by seeking to enter into negotiations with the Kingdom of Denmark, to annex or otherwise acquire Greenland as a territory of the United States.”
So they should either get rid of such lunatic or shut up with their hypocrisy…

Good joke, good joke…
now republicans are like „whoa whoa slow down mr president, we love you but international law and starting world war 3 is a bit much even for us“
I’ve seen this drama before.
Josh Hawley, The Running Man and others will backtrack later.
I’ll believe it when I see it
This administration won’t follow the law and release the files. Congress can’t do shit to stop Trump at this point
Just like the war powers resolution? Please motherfuckers at least admit you’re weak little bootlickers.
>A Republican senator who requested anonymity said Trump’s talk of taking over Greenland has generated more opposition from Republicans in Congress because of the dire implications of such an aggressive move would have for the future of NATO.
More silent, off the record „resistance.“ These guys are such cowards
> **Republican senators are flummoxed by Trump’s insistence that he’s willing to use military force to seize control of Greenland from Denmark,** something they fear will destroy the NATO alliance and give Russia a bigger advantage in its war against Ukraine.
Are they? Are they really?
Because he’s been saying this for ages, and anyone who took him at his word was patronizingly told by these selfsame Republicans “the president is just trolling.” (Like that would be an acceptable thing for the president to do? Alienating our allies just for shits and giggles?)
I remember telling my investment guy in like January 2024 that if Trump got back in office he would destroy NATO. Finance Bro scoffed at me.
> **“I’m going to remind them that we have co-equal branches of government** and I believe that there [is a] sufficient number of members, whether they speak up or not, that are concerned with this,” Tillis said of Trump’s threats.
> “The actual execution of anything that would involve a taking of a sovereign territory that is part of a sovereign nation, I think would be met with pretty substantial opposition in Congress,” he said.
Ah yes, I’m sure they’ll find that very reassuring.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned about Congressional Republicans, it’s that they’re full of shit.
The best way is to remove his power to do anything. It’s just gonna get worse otherwise.
Can you imagine reading that headline a year ago? Ten years ago? Ever?
Whatever is in the Epstein files has to be absolutely horrendous.
Sure they will
Cowards couldn’t even block him from doing the same thing to Venezuela.
Republicans: We won’t let him do this!
Trump: *does it anyway*
Republicans: This was a great move by our Dear Leader
I think it should automatically be against the law when a President from any party recklessly does the things he’s doing. It doesn’t take a scholar to say.. one human being and his cronies should not be allowed to act like thugs on the world stage.
Don’t worry, the reTHUGlicans will say all this for a few weeks before backtracking and reversing themselves. They will cave to their authoritarian master like they always do. Because they have no morals, no principles, no souls.
Oh sure! Block him from stealing Greenland but let him steal Venezuela whenever, however he wants w/o congress permission
If enough Republicans are suddenly so opposed, why don’t they just go along with impeachment? Post – Trump, the Republican part is toast anyway. If they don’t find a way to rebuild themselves after him, their future is not going to be very bright. They might as well just fix the problem now and impeach, if they’re so worried about this being a serious threat. Personally, I think he’s crazy enough to do it.
It’s okay, Schumer and Jeffries will still let it happen.
Ridiculous… block all of his war powers starting from Venezuela. This man in on a power trip and it’ll just get worse… block Greenland? He’ll attack some other country because that’s where his mind is at.
You can block him by impeaching and removing him from office.
I’ll believe it when I see it.
The Republicans have sold out our country to maintain power. There is no believing them.
„I have no understanding how this is an idea to begin with,” the senator added with exasperation, warning that taking Greenland will undermine NATO and put Ukraine at greater risk.“
**taking Greenland will undermine NATO and put Ukraine at greater risk**
Ahem, there’s your answer Senator
Lol republican “vows” aren’t worth shit
2 republicans, just two. Meanwhile Republican Randy Fine submitted a Regulation to make Greenland the 51st state, so maybe start with getting your own party straight before you make big empty promises
Impeach him if you are serious.
It’s already illegal to attack Greenland! The NATO charter was ratified by Congress. It holds equal weight with US law. Am I the only one who understands this? The whole military needs to tell the dictator “no”
I’ll believe it when i see it. Didn’t they all just vote down limiting his ability to use the military?
I would be shocked if they did anything.
REMOVE THE FUCK! Jfc. These assholes have the ability, nay *the responsibility*, to remove this man from the Office of The President; they chose not to
Sure. Impeach him now. Let’s see it.
„Vow“ all you want, Republicans, but actions speak louder than words. You can spoon feed your cultists empty promises, but as long as you continue to vote against ANY check on Trump’s fascist takeover of America (not to mention his illegal activities in the world), you’re just as guilty as he is. You can shove your „vows“ straight up your asses. We’ve seen how well you kept your oaths to the Constitution so far… as in, you haven’t! Until you put Country over Party, the entire GOP is merely a puppet for Trump’s new regime and everyone with two working brain cells knows it.
Just like they did in Venezuela?
best way to stop his ass is impeach him… worst case scenario he has another 3 years or more to try this shit again.
