These days, not all politics are local for officials of a certain fasci-type variety.

These days, not all politics are local for officials of a certain fasci-type variety.
The following if from the lede of a piece by Ellie Quinlan Houghtaling writing in the New Republic:
...U.S. representatives were reportedly seen knocking door-to-door in Nuuk, Greenland’s capital, to ascertain just how Vance’s visit to the Nordic island would be received. The answer? Not well.
“The Americans’ charm offensive mission has failed,” reported TV 2 correspondent Jesper Steinmetz, adding that locals have completely cold-shouldered the Vance family’s prospective visit.
American representatives were seen walking around the city, canvassing residents to see if people would be interested in a visit from the vice president’s wife.
“They’ve gotten no, no, no, no, no, every single time,” Steinmetz said....
Gosh.
It's almost as if the entirety of Greenland is now singing a certain Amy Winehouse song.

It would seem that Trump and his fascists have very few friends left in the world. Good.
American exceptionalism is crashing and burning and sadly, they just do not get it.
In Europe, Vance is seen as a imbecile and golly gee whiz, Greenland is considered Europe.
I think this visit was supposed to be a distraction to the "Signalgate" fiasco and itself has become a fiasco.
Trumps stock is falling as the public is waking up to the fact that Trump is a demented idiot, surrounded by a cadre of idiots. Recently, Howard Lutnick, who is supose to be a bright spark in the Trump clown car, said "that anyone who would actually complain about a missing benefit (payment) is a "fraudster".
The tariff fiasco will seal the deal for Trump to defy the courts, declare martial law and stop elections in 2026. Massive voter suppression laws are now being passed in many Red States and I am afraid bloodshed is just around the corner.
If I wrote this one year ago, you would have banned me as a loony.
(Just a note, back during Trumps first stint pretending to be president, I offered a comment on the Tyee about Trumps actions may lead to civil war with a timeline of what could happen From memory, I mentioned people being snatched off the street by masked police and sent to camps. The Tyee banned it and sent me a stern note that it was too outrageous to have it printed.
The thing is, it was mild to what is happening now south of the 49th!)
From what I've heard, Rehab might do 47 and Stinky a world of good.
im a goin off to Greenland ..they saya no no no
O'h my.
There is nothing like the rich, connected, powerful ; being brought down to earth by the "underclass" and powerless?
The American dream such as it is ,is being exposed for all it's failures .
The American dream as the world knows it ;has been with military conquest and arms sales.
Without it the USA would be nonstarters.
TB
Some history: The USA did not declare war on Germany after Pearl Harbour and it was Germany's declaration of war that forced the USA's hand.
It also should be noted that there is considerable evidence that if not for WW2, the Americans would have seized Canada and beak it to into states, doubling the size of the USA.
We see this now with Trump and Vance, and the new America.
Interesting, in that the USA is rotting from the inside and to show strength, US politcans are becoming more acquisitive, but with NATO, the USA can do nothing but beat its chest.
Maybe Hitler did us a favour.
