It is real!

Rep. Earl L. “Buddy” Carter (R-GA) released the following statement today after introducing a bill authorizing President Trump to acquire Greenland and renaming it Red, White, and Blueland:

“America is back and will soon be bigger than ever with the addition of Red, White, and Blueland. President Trump has correctly identified the purchase of what is now Greenland as a national security priority, and we will proudly welcome its people to join the freest nation to ever exist when our Negotiator-in-Chief inks this monumental deal.”

What did it say? I'm getting really frustrated with the overboard responses from moderators recently. I left reddit in no small part because of this. Pig boy was just the last straw.

I am right now drunkenly trying to get permabanned by these ridiculous mods that prefer civility to real discourse and telling Nazis to get fuck up the ass.

I'm tired of being civil with these fucks, I'm tired of worrying if me telling a Nazi to get fucked up the ass is going to upset anyone's snowflake feelings.

Guys, we're FUCKED. If you're not mad, you need to get MAD. FUCKING MAD. THEY'RE STEALING OUR NATION FROM US AND A THIRD OF EVERYONE THINKS ITS AWESOME.

Unfortunately Lemmy.world seems full of the 'reddit mod' types that (IMHO) eventually made reddit such a shit hole.

Maybe they'll just die off? Probably not - pretty safe in their basements.

Edit: OOOOOH! let's see if they ban me for inciting violence or some fucking stupid reason. That'd be on brand.
