A Democratic congressman on CNN sounded off on President-elect Donald Trump over his recent threats to buy Greenland and seize the Panama Canal.

Appearing on CNN News Central Thursday, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) — the former head of the DNC — shredded Trump for his recent talk about the canal and Greenland.

“It is utterly preposterous to suggest that we are going to send our military in to Panama to, quote, take back the Panama Canal,” Wasserman Schultz said. “we have a treaty with Panama. We have a free trade agreement with Panama. We are no more going to take back the Panama Canal than Panama is going to come in and try to take the Mississippi River from us.”

The congresswoman added, “What we need to do is make sure that we strengthen our relationships with our with our allies and and treaty partners like Panama, not make ridiculous carnival barker threats like buying Greenland — which isn’t for sale, and we’re not going to acquire — and invading Panama to take back the canal.”

1. Saw the MAGA (bot) response on Twitter

Who said anything about sending military?

Morons.

2. Thanks for showing some backbone Representative

3. Just wondering...do you know the provenance of this meme?

Doesn't seem like something a liberal/progressive source would produce.

[Swede]

4. He goes by Brittlestar and he is quite liberal.

6. Is he/her the creator or just amplifying the meme?

[Swede]

10. He's the dude in the video.

He does comedy bits. He's no fan of Trump.

7. Doing a query of Halifax

I ran across this Canada link with the potato chip guy mocking the rapist-elect, and I like how they make fun of Felon47.

Not a maga site.

8. Makes sense....but the new context seems to be making fun of Canadian's wrt to Trump's recent pronouncements.

[BumRushDaShow]

9. It kinda seems to be the equivalent of someone in Canada doing this -

(as a commentary on all the nonsensical gobbledygook coming from the U.S. )

[Submariner]

11. Not from what I'm reading

Canada thinks he's nuts, and that skepticism, while eating KETCHUP potato chips, comes across kind of clearly as mocking, and not being insulted in any way by Liberals.

[OAITW r.2.0]

12. Fair enough....I did not know, that's why I asked.

Thanks for the added info!

15. Ketchup flavored Lays.. Canada doesn't care if the catsup flies. Lemons / lemonade I think is the analogy. eom

[regnaD kciN]

5. Who's "we," Debbie...?

Once Trump returns to power, he can send the military wherever he wants. Who’s going to stop him?

[BidenRocks]

17. The military. nt

20. It takes an act of Congress to declare war

At least it used to, before Bush II.

[JoseBalow]

13. Panama is risky

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

28. "Costs me more...."

The best meme I’ve seen in a while. Thanks for giving me a great laugh, Jose!

14. Well, after that Christmas Day massacre by Trump

all the world leaders know for sure that we elected an idiot for President. America has been behind the times with most Western Democracies, we are going to fall off the scale now. They will not trust Trump for any reason. I really hope they cold shoulder him as much as possible. He is a moron and they know it. If they weren't convinced the first time around, this will leave no doubt.

[Walleye]

26. I hope they ridicule and laughing his face. It's the only thing that works.

[PurgedVoter]

16. So yeah, selling London Bridge is old. Nowdays you gotta sell Greenland or something.

So I figure we need to get someone to play French jazz in the background while we line up a team and set up a fake office before we do this thing. All we need now is to find someone dumb enough to think they can buy it.

[Beck23]

19. Trump lives in a reality TV world

21. WTF? "You got a 3 month reprieve"

What the ever-loving F is wrong with these CNN people? First, let me say Wassermann-Schultz did good work staking out the truth about some of these economic issues. ALL Dems must get laser-focused on these economic unfairness issues. This is the central issue for Americans and the main reason why Trump won. Even after what is objectively the best economy in 40 years, the public still rated Republicans as better for the economy. That just shows how ineffective we have been on the very most important issues. So I praise W-S for taking this on. Let's get 200 more of her colleagues on that team ASAP.

But WTF is with CNN? This dingbat finished by saying (my paraphrase) "YOU got a 3-month reprieve before you have to take on the Republicans trying to kill all these entitlements once again."

What the F does she mean by "YOU"? This is an attack on all non-billionaire Americans. Why are the Dems the ones who are expected, operating from a minority, to save the country from the people they just elected? I mean, if this woman would stop and listen to herself, she would realize how asinine she sounds with such a dumbass statement.

She should be asking something more like, "3 months from now, will any Republicans stand up on the side of the 200+ million Americans who have been paying into these programs for their entire working careers?"

27. They think everyone has to choose sides, including the News networks. Now we know which side they are on.

22. If I had a dime for everytime someone was destroyed or shredded, according to some headline

I'd be richer than Elon Musk. Of course, such shredding or destroying never has the slightest effect on the person supposedly being destroyed.

23. trump's "Look how crazy I am" shtick is wearing thin.

Even his cultists seem to be gradually wearying of him. The rest of us saw who he was ten years ago.

[JustAnotherGen]

24. The next time

She needs to lay into the talking head normalizing shit.

The media never covers Democratic accomplishments - so give them something to talk about.

[GiqueCee]

25. It is interesting to note...

... that Trump has yet to propose even so much as a concept of constructive policy. All that comes out of his anus-shaped mouth are threats of revenge for imagined slights, the destruction of essential institutions, and robbing the poor to give tax breaks to the rich. His brain-dead horde of painted morons are entering the "FIND OUT" phase of their "FUCK AROUND" stupidity. He TOLD them, "I don't care about you, I just want your votes!" And the assholes cheered.
