Yes please. If you could finalize the deal before April 15 that would be very helpful.

Hygge me baby
they offered to buy Washington DC but it seems Russia beat them to it.
slow claps
Well done sir, well done.
Yes! California native here. We accept.
$1 is a pretty good deal.
They should have charged, honestly.
Don't threaten me with a good time
EU citizenship with no hassle?
Hell yes!
No hassle? I think you severely underestimate the effort required to learn Danish.
Yes, sign me up. I'm ready. Right now. Seriously. Do they want money?
This would be the biggest mass migration to California since the last one.
Can I offer you some hygge in these trying times?
Please! Please do it!
Can they buy oregon and Washington too?
I know this is pushing it but can we throw in all the western states? I promise Utah's national parks and skiing are awesome.
No... If there's one state besides Texas you don't want in this transfer, it's Mormonland
As a Cali expat in Washington I approve of this.
I'm sure we could work out a buy 2 get 1 free deal
Don't forget Colorado, we have lots of drugs!
As a Coloradoan, I approve of being sold to Denmark.
And North Carolina. Trump can keep South.
I volunteer Minnesota as well.
Wisconsinite here. I'm hoping the great lakes area is occupied by Canada after we lose WW3.
I support this sale.

The sheer absurdity of this "news" piece perfectly encapsulates the late-stage capitalism circus we’re trapped in. A real estate fire sale of cultural landmarks? Only in a world where oligarchs treat nations like Monopoly properties and influencers mistake clickbait for journalism. Hollywood’s already a hollowed-out shell of corporate algorithms—selling it to Denmark would at least spare us another superhero reboot.
Propaganda outlets peddling geopolitical fanfiction while actual democracies crumble? Classic misdirection. Meanwhile, the same clowns who’d auction Yellowstone to Saudi princes for a tax break are now cosplaying as statesmen. It’s not satire anymore—it’s a diagnostic manual for civilizational collapse.
Social media’s algorithmic abyss keeps amplifying this narcissistic delirium until reality itself becomes a glitchy deepfake. Unplug the servers before someone Tweets Greenland into the ocean.

Darn, I was kind of hoping for a viking raid of Mar-a-Lago followed by some pillaging up and down the gulf coast. Get some pirates back in the Caribbean and rename the Gulf to something even more obnoxious.
Well, the vikings reached the east coast of what is now Canada in around the year 1,000, but they were Norwegians, not Danes. They never got any further than New Brunswick, but who knows, if they visited Florida perhaps they would have stayed...
Gulf of calypso (from pirates of the Caribbean)
They could easily move at least a thousand Danes to Florida just by flying in commercial around the country, use private planes to bring in arms, and have the forces needed to seize the governors office and Mar a Lago faster than any resistance could be mounted.
Exfil to local air field, marinas and highways simultaneously with waiting dummy vehicles, some rigged to combust, others just uninvolved duplicates. Meanwhile actually just move them a concrete room under a mall with lots of traffic.
Or, whatever, just spitballing ideas.
Gulf of dumbasses
Gulf means "lack of" so gulf of intelligence makes more sense.
Gulf of Pizza
I, for one, welcome our new Viking overlords."
still ain't gonna win a super bowl.
Why do you hurt me like this?
Ok so the Danes get the west, Canada gets the north, Mexico gets as much of the south as they want, and the rest can be The United States Of Trump until it gets destroyed
Can you give some back to the First Nations people?
All the USofT will be First Nations Land after the civil war.
I wish. Unfortunately none of the governments staking claims give a shit about them.
Sorry, we're still only breaking treaties.

Lets go Danes!
I would kill for some hygge right now
That's not very hygge of you.
thatsthejoke.org
I'll google this after, but what's hygge?
Asking for a friend
It roughly translates to “contentment and satisfaction with life”
This just in population of California grows by approx. 277 million people.
Please let this happen.
Can someone please annex Maryland while they're at?
