WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. Vice President JD Vance said that he’s joining his wife on a Friday trip to Greenland, suggesting in an online video that global security is at stake.

“We’re going to check out how things are going there,” Vance said in a video shared Tuesday. “Speaking for President Trump, we want to reinvigorate the security of the people of Greenland because we think it’s important to protecting the security of the entire world.”

    I hope Greenlanders chase him away like Vermonters did. Let him know he can’t go anywhere without people making it known how much they don’t want a little sycophantic dweeb like him around.

    If there isn’t at least one snowball to the face I’ll be disappointed in Greenland.

    I’d also be cool with people reviving the tradition of throwing shoes at republican fuckers.

    Did Couch Guyliner not express some horrible disdain for Europe recently on the leaked Signal app that his administration is famed for? And now he’s visiting Europe?

    I hope he receives the same treatment that Tesla dealerships are treated to in Canada.

    Let’s be honest. How many people would care if Greenland just threw him in an ice cave? His wife probably wouldn’t even look for him until she ran out of mascara. No one in America cares about JD Vance. People who loathe Trump or Ted Cruz or whomever have to force giving a shit about JD Vance.

      There’s no evidence Greenland even met with them. Greenland was with me at the restaurant all night. I’m sure my other friends could also corroborate that. Remember that guys? Greenland was cracking jokes all night. Dave almost peed his pants he was laughing so hard.

        I’m sorry I don’t know the name of Greenland’s prime minister. They just had an election and I don’t know who will ultimately put a coalition together. I saw puffins in Iceland once who were headed that way and I know ice core samples often come from Greenland. (Shout out to Greenland for puffins and science!) But please excuse my ignorance.

        My original point was that JD Vance is irrelevant. I don’t remember his wife’s name but I know it’s like 4 or 5 letters and multiple vowels and syllables. UEFA is not correct, obviously, but it’s like that.

      You don’t need, that comma.

      But I’d like to point out that this isn’t a criticism of, your comment. Just, the punctuation. I’m, sorry. And I will now take, my downvotes. See you, tomorrow.

      Like literally as that wench Marjorie Taylor Greene f**ked off a British reporter for not being American. What a shower of brain dead ignoramuses, and that’s being nice.

    This is the geopolitical equivalent of your idiot neighbours crashing your birthday barbecue only to complain about the food. Loudly. While chewing.
