26. I doubt the US is paying enough to Greenland to justify the cost of the Vance visit there.

Sat Mar 29, 2025, 04:00 PM

Saturday

Denmark should immediately send an invoice to the US State Department demanding that costs be covered for 70 million barf bags (yes, I know that number is greater than the total population, but some residents inadvertently looked at JD twice), enhanced security for those civilian workers at the military base who feared being abducted to Louisiana after muttering “Beardo Weirdo” in Kalaallisut, and therapy for the canines Usha threatened to visit for her photo-op dog sled stunt.

The US has been ripping off Greenland for years. It’s time they pay their fair share.
