Republican Quisling Knife's Trump in Back Over Greenland
Timothy Birdnow
A Republican rep. from Nebraska - Don Bacon -hams it up with the Omaha World Herald but winds up with egg on his face.
Bacon says he'd vote for impeaching President Trump if Trump invaded Greenland.
Why would he even answer such a hypothetical question in the first place? There is zero evidence Trump plans on an unauthorized invasion of Greenland and this dimwit has to know that. All of the troops being sent there by Denmark and from other Euroweenie countries are just for show, to try to puff out their chests against a non-threat. It's easy to be tough when there isn't anything to be tough about.
The point is just because you are asked a question like that doesn't mean you answer it. He should simply have said "I won't deal with hypotheticals" and that would have been that.
Breakfast meathead announced he is retiring so feels free to knife Trump in the back now. Trump should take steps to squeeze him, to wreck any lobbying posts he's seeking or whatnot. This is the kind of thing that needs to be answered.
"I’ll be candid with you. There’s so many Republicans mad about this,” Bacon told the paper. "If he went through with the threats, I think it would be the end of his presidency.”
Uh, name them. They should be proud to be named publicly. Also, WHY exactly are they angry? He doesn't explain that at all. Is it because Trump is somehow circumventing Congress? IT HASN'T COME TO ANY OVERT ACTION yet so there is nothing to be angry about. Do they not want a greater influence over Greenland? Are they content letting the Chinese sniff around it? If they are angry is it because Trump wants to exploit the natural resources of the huge island? Why exactly are they angry?
Trump said as much when the media harangued him over this. He said "you don't know what I plan to do".
Seems to me if there are Republicans angry about it it's because they are mad Trump and MAGA are doing something that limits their power. The Establishment GOP has been angry about THAT since Trump walked down that escalator years ago. He shows them to be do-nothing sycophants to the media and the Demo-left.
Trump needs to mete out some sort of punishment. No doubt this guy is going to get a job at CNN or as a lobbyist; Trump should take steps to squash any income this guy plans to raise off his Trump Derangement Syndrome. We have got to stop pussyfooting around with these sorts of creeps. They are the very reason America is in such bad shape; for decades a bunch of self-seeking scoundrels in the GOP have gone along with the Democrats in systemaatically raping the American People. And they have sabotaged every effort to clean this system up thereby making a near disaster. This guy needs to become radioactive, needs to have everyone terrified of having anything to do with him. That's what the Left would do to a turncoat of their own.
Unfortunately we don't do things that way. But we probably should.

Who's ever heard of this Bacon character, until he popped up with this remark? Now it's out of the pan, into the fire for him. Quick, give him five minutes of fame, he doesn't need fifteen.

Agreed. No doubt he wanted to go out with a bang so he would improve his employment prospects after leaving Congress. That's why we need to make sure he doesn't profit from this.

This Greenland thing presents an interesting challenge for me. Russia did not have the right to annex Crimea, but we have the right to annex Greenland. The difference is unclear to me.

I hear ya, Bill. I am greatly hoping that Trump is just making this a stunt; otherwise I will begin to fear for his sanity. OTOH, it is well-known that when Trump starts dealing over something, the first thing he does is throw a grenade -- a live one -- and then he starts talking once the smoke has almost cleared. I think the Danes have yet to read "The Art of the Deal." My idea, though I am scarcely an expert on this sort of thing, is that he needs to be huddling with the Danes over what he sees as our security needs that can be met by co-operation over Greenland.
I really don't think we need to actually take it over. But if certain other non-friendly countries thought we actually did take it over, it might very well slow them down.
