Etiquette



DP Etiquette

First rule: Don't be a jackass.

Other rules: Do not attack or insult people you disagree with. Engage with facts, logic and beliefs. Out of respect for others, please provide some sources for the facts and truths you rely on if you are asked for that. If emotion is getting out of hand, get it back in hand. To limit dehumanizing people, don't call people or whole groups of people disrespectful names, e.g., stupid, dumb or liar. Insulting people is counterproductive to rational discussion. Insult makes people angry and defensive. All points of view are welcome, right, center, left and elsewhere. Just disagree, but don't be belligerent or reject inconvenient facts, truths or defensible reasoning.

America begins formally annexing Greenland

Raw Story reports about the apparent expansion of the US. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth started steps to declare Greenland part of the "U.S. homeland," placing it under the jurisdiction of U.S. Northern Command for military defense purposes. The Pentagon says this is part of a broader Unified Command Plan reorganization to "strengthen defense partnerships" in the Arctic. The NYT reports that the Pentagon calls a US military base in northwestern Greenland one of the world’s "most strategically significant military locations." 

The US has had troops in Greenland since World War II. We keep a small missile defense base there. It's called Pituffik Space Base. It was the Thule Air Base before djt renamed it during his first administration. 

The Pentagon says that the reclassification does not equate to annexation but acknowledged Hegseth’s refusal to rule out "forceful acquisition" during congressional hearings, which does sound a lot like annexation.

A leaked April 2025 plan proposed offering $10,000 per Greenlander to join the U.S. and emphasized shared Greenland Inuit heritage with parts of Alaska and Canada. 6% of Greenlanders support annexation.

Unleash the Dogs of War!!

Rebellious, heavily armed Greenland 
anti-MAGA fortresses

Note the dangerous, heavily armed 
iceberg in background

Greenlanders are heavily armed with fishing rods, fish hooks and warm mittens. djt's rabid supporters (shown below) are lining up to enlist with the US military, anxious to join the righteous fight for the coming invasion of the illegal alien miscreants in Greenland.



Qs: Is this for real or some psychotic djt/MAGA mushroom fever dream? Or is this a deflection from the success of the No Kings protests and the failure of the Dictator military parade (Operation Squeaky Old Tanks)? Aren't MAGA and djt bigots hostile to minorities including Inuits? WTF?
