The interns would receive financial support from Danish taxpayers, at the same time as Trump threatens to annex the semi-autonomous Danish territory
The US Consulate in Nuuk, Greenland, is looking for unpaid interns to service its communication channels, leaving local authorities to foot the bill of financially supporting applicants while the US steps up annexation threats.
Last week, Donald Trump appointed a special envoy to Greenland – a semi-autonomous territory under the Danish Realm – sparking backlash from Greenlandic, Danish and European authorities.
Initially expressing interest in acquiring the island during his first term in 2019, Trump has ramped up discourse and efforts during his second term, going so far as to suggest the US would use military force to annex the Inuit nation.
He IS going to avoid elections by being at war, isn’t he?
I know it’s bleak but that isn’t how it works
The states get to conduct their own elections and we’ve always had elections during war anyway
Federalism is one of the few really good ideas the founders had for dealing with this exact problem: a tyrannical federal government
Except the red states are going to do what he says and the blue states are going to be invaded by national Guardsmen from the red States.
Blue states ask for help then ironically, Putler/pooh comes?
Then everyone is confused
Yes, but lets not pretend laws and precedence mean much any more.
I know, and they are disregarding laws I don’t mean to imply otherwise, and this is a perverse point to make but
We’ve had elections during every war so far so I think the best they can do is attempt to hack them and cheat in more conventional ways
Yeah, it really seems like they stole the last election with shady vote machines after implying that the Dems did it in 2000.
Everything they attack is a clue, from “rigged elections” to “anti fascism”.
the USA has such passage? That’s stupid but would explain why he wants to wage war with Venezuela.
No. But regulations and laws are meaningless with a complicit Congress.
Don’t forget that the Supreme Court is in his pocket as well!
No, the US has had elections during war before. Hell, it had an election during world war 2. But Trump has the backing of the media, lawmakers, and the Supreme Court. So he could certainly try, and every other group who is supposed to step in and stop him would probably let him instead.
Not avoid them but using successful military operations to boost your popularly is an old strategy and using unsuccessful military operations to argue against “rocking the boat” was George W Bush’s strategy.
