Poor old Goose quoting a Democrat economist. Just never learns. Yet more proof he’s a left wing loon who pretends he isn’t.

it's classic you being confronted with data and facts and ignoring them because they constantly prove you wrong.

Yeah Biden’s open border policy allowed all the trash from the 3rd world to come in and rape and murder whoever they wanted. Then they’d riot and loot at every given opportunity all for votes. Bit like the UK and Europe.
Thankfully we have Trump who is doing something about it, While the Liberals are having a meltdown over it.
Crime rates are plummeting as ICE clean up the streets and communities. You should try it over there, it’s amazing how good it works.

No it hasn’t, Bill and Hillary Clinton refused to show up to Congress even though they were Subpoenaed to do so. So they are now facing prison time for contempt of Congress. Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro went to jail for doing the exact same thing.
Remember nobody is above the law.
I wonder why they wouldn’t go and testify, clear there names?

what is so pathetic with these fake news brain washed liberals is that they’re all shit scared of Putin yet complain when Trump tries to protect the USA and Europes exposure to the Russian arctic front with taking over Greenland.
Quite a dilemma I’d say. Leave Greenland alone and remain exposed to attack by the big bad Putin or have the USA step in and shore things up once and for all. I can see how that’s so difficult to decide.
Remember now Do you really want to send your kids and Grandkids off to war to fight Russia? Or is Putin all of a sudden not so bad and should be given the benefit of the doubt over Greenland?
Russia are loving this, of course. USA breaking up NATO would really help strengthen their position in Ukraine. Plus, if the USA invaded another country, that is supposed to be their allies, they can hardly complain about Russia invading Ukraine. Of course, as you already know, Trump can already stick as many bases and troops in Greenland as he pleases, has always been the way. The USA had tons more troops there during the cold war. Hell, he can even sort out a deal, subject to international environmental rules, where he drills for minerals.
But a ranting dick head, like you, with his toungue firmly up a convicted felon and rapist's arse, quite clearly has no critical thinking ability.

World peace has been restored. Gazza has just shown up at the White House with a bucket of chicken, cans of lager, dressing gowns and fishing rods. Apparently Trump used to work the doors at a Newcastle nightclub and is a reet good lad.

If his concern is really security then that can easily be achieved without requiring control of Greenland.

After all these years you still don’t understand.
If Trump attacks Europe or Denmark then I’d say he is a cսnt. Partly because he doesn’t have to.
But attacking Europe or Denmark was never part of any threat or deal. That’s just liberal media nonsense running rampant again. Fake News! How many more times you gonna fall for this shit?
