Don, kicking out Minnesota makes perfect sense. Could become a colony of Somalia. Already flying their flag.

No. Can’t give our enemies a foothold on the continent. We should be kicking those ingrates out of the country. All the ingrates.

Sam Prentice's avatar

And everywhere. And screw this talk of a national divorce. We will never give the anti-American Democrats even a single inch of our ground. They aren't even worthy of being buried in our ground, because that would be a desecration of American soil. No, burn them and dump them in the ocean. But never give them a single inch.

Greg's avatar

I used to be for a divorce. Now I want to crush the demons. They are little children who need a serious spanking.

Jeremy R's avatar

They may not be worthy of burial in our ground, but we gotta do something about the smell. Imagine how much worse it will become once they die.

donald b welch's avatar

tell it. the gop is useless. death to tyranny.

TeaPartyGal's avatar

Amen. We need to take back Minnesota from the thieves--both Democratic and Somali--that have invaded it. Minnesota is ours, not theirs.

Valoree Dowell's avatar

Please. I beg of you. Come to our (my) aid…. 😫

Jeremy R's avatar

They're already here. We should load them all on a tramp steamer and send them through the Red Sea. Imagine how the pirates would act when they capture a ship full of their own.

tj's avatar

That would be funny. Almost as funny as Iran capturing a tanker of their own oil on a China run ship.

Jeremy R's avatar

Or sinking one.

That’s a great image. Perfect for an AI meme.

surber's angle is more humorous and provides for good commentary but your post is (obviously) on the money and needs to happen. therefore i went with alberta. if they see canada for what it is...have to be smart and that means they would make great maga additions. never happen of course but it does make for interesting discussion.

Brian LeMay's avatar

👍 Totally agree .

William Peterson's avatar

Agree, but the real issue is Congress for not dealing with the chief anti-colonialist, Somalian colonizer, Barrack Hussein Obama, who is continuing his attack on the United States in Chicago and NYC to include invading the public grade schools, who will soon be mandating they read Rules for Radicals!

We need to send him home to Indonesia with a lifetime supply of coke.

Don't kick out Minnesota! Kick out the DFL. Send them all over to Russia, Putin needs cannon fodder for his war with Ukraine and they are all "good little communists".

Not no but hell no ! We should not willingly give invaders anything .

Robert Smalls was born a slave in 1839. At age 14, His master hired him out to the owner of the steamship Planter in Charleston. In the early morning hours of May 13, 1862, Smalls (aged 22) freed himself, his crew, their families and 4 Confederate harbor defense cannons by commandeering the ship, and sailing it from the Confederate-controlled waters past Fort Sumter to the U.S. blockade that surrounded the harbor. He was later elected to the United States Congress as a Republican.

Late in his life Democrats used lawfare to end his political career.

I have a copy of The New Simms History of South Carolina published in 1940 and adopted as the official public school text book on SC history. It has an orange cover but, the cover should be white. It is definitely not a book written by the victors. It was written by the granddaughter of William Gilmore Simms, a famous antebellum pro slavery author, and it shows. A former slave Robert Smalls, sa brave Civil War hero and Republican Congressman is not mentioned. Robert Smalls should be in Statuary Hall.

Michael Davis's avatar

The Robert Smalls Monument Commission (Commission) was created by Act 183 of the 2024 South Carolina Legislature to determine the design of the monument enduring the historical significance to Robert Smalls and its location on the State House grounds. The Commission is empowered and directed to raise private funds and may receive gifts and grants to carry out this purpose. My wife serves as a member of the Commission.

Information is available at https://www.admin.sc.gov/robertsmalls. The commission accepts donations for the monument BTW...

Tmitsss's avatar

And yet Wade Hampton III is in the Capitol and the Statehouse grounds

Michael Davis's avatar

Yes, like all the former slave owners in Statuary Hall.

If you can’t distinguish Washington and Jefferson from Hampton I can’t help you

I was so ready to vote Cuba until I saw Minnesota! 🤣🤣🤣 I do feel sorry for the normies there though. Obama the Hideous did this to them, shipped in the Somalis and shamed them into accepting their completely corrupt culture. Deport!

Jake's avatar

The first person to deport in Minnesota is Tampon Timmy/Elmer Fudd. Send him to China where he honeymooned. Take his wife and daughter too. He's not a native Minnesotan like I am and it shows.

Wim de Vriend's avatar

Unfortunately you can't deport people who were born American citizens, no matter how low-grade. Immigrants, even if they have acquired US citizenship, are a different story.

Greg's avatar

But there is a punishment for treason.

TeaPartyGal's avatar

Yes; and welfare fraud, and corruption, and theft, etc.

Wim de Vriend's avatar

True, but the "Justice" establishment doesn't seem to have the stomach to prosecute it, except in wartime.

Alice Ball's avatar

It's coming. Timmy knows it too.

Greg's avatar

You’re correct. That’s why they are turning over every norm rule and law to stay in power. They are cornered. What comes soon is very ugly.

Jeremy R's avatar

Okay, then make him ambassador to Pluto and get him on the next flight.

Cookie McCall's avatar

Obama the Hideous - what a great title for that despicable creature!

NNTX's avatar

And his “library” where I”m told there will be no books, only digital “Information”. The book, “Rules for Radicals” will be there in the bookshop though.

Obama not hiding his full blown marxism any more.

NotFromTexas's avatar

The Turd-in-the-Punchbowl didn't help, but the blame should be laid squarely at the feet of one George HW "Poppy" Bush, the carpetbagger and imposter from Midland, Texas, who cynically committed boots on the ground in Somalia to hang an albatross around the neck of the incoming Bubba Clinton administration.

Big Dog 333's avatar

Saw a video about an island in the Everglades that the men ran dope in their boats for smugglers. They eventually all got caught and did time. One guy claims GHW Bush was the biggest smuggler of all. Must have been while he was at the CIA.

NotFromTexas's avatar

It would not surprise me in the least.

BH's avatar

The influx of Somali refugees began under Clinton’s reign. They have a solid foothold now, approximately 2 generations worth, I reckon, if you count starting a family at age 16.

Big Dog 333's avatar

Do any of them “actually” work? I doubt it.

Jeremy R's avatar

Stealing money isn't as easy as it sounds.

tj's avatar

One of the reasons, I am pretty sure they had lots of help. That help, and the Somailians and all need to be kicked to the curb.

William Coulter's avatar

I hope the Republicans enact the appropriate laws to codify Trump’s executive orders. Otherwise they will be undone day 1 when Democrats regain the Presidency.

Trump is not going to make any of these areas new states.

Having an economic piece of the action without the responsibility and cost of owning the area is more profitable.

Suzie's avatar

“When the Democrats regain the presidency”? You mean IF.

If Republicans were better at messaging they have enough evidence to resoundingly reveal and proclaim loud and often that that party is nothing more than a criminal enterprise, who’ve been looting the government and subverting the Constitution towards their own ends for decades. Think of just the fraud being exposed for votes, the illegal invasion they orchestrated, to say nothing of the billions upon billions upon billions they literally stole via USAID cut outs!! And that just for starters - their literal crimes from coup attempts to outright assassination attempts and the lawless persecution of their so-called enemies on the Right, and their alliances with the worst of the worst nations and groups in the world, selling out America down the river!

The evidence is overwhelming!!

They should never, EVER be allowed anywhere even near power ever again, and should be banished for all time into the dustbin of history.

WTPuck's avatar

Messaging isn't the main problem. The repubs problem is that they have no balls, so legislation is not passed and facts aren't disseminated. Plus, half of them are just as guilty as democrats, so they have a vested interest in the status quo.

Suzie's avatar

True - but it doesn’t matter. It only takes a few to grab hold of the power we have in our hands and drag the rest of those suckers along- whether they like it or not!

WTPuck's avatar

Yes - only about 10% of the colonists were for independence at the start of the Revolutionary War.

Marlan Hoerer's avatar

The pubbies are referred to as jelly fish, spineless floaters looking for a raft .

TeaPartyGal's avatar

Yes--messaging matters ALOT, especially (as WTPuck points out) when the Repubs in Congress are not carrying their weight, and when the Left Media suppresses all the news that exposes the Democrats' evil.

We need to follow Spencer Pratt's example and inundate America with the facts about the Democrat's corruption and incompetence. The Left has no defense from these types of ads. We will demolish them in the midterms if we go "Spencer Pratt" on them.

Now if you load your rifle right

And if you fix your bayonet so

And if you kill that man my friend

The one we call the foe

And if you do it often lad and if you do it right

You'll be a hero over night

You'll save your country from a fight

Remember God is always right

If you survive to see the sight

Friend now greeting foe.

Well you won't believe in if anymore.

Ifs an illusion, ifs an illusion.

“…our history is a history of glory of men and women who gave their lives to make us not a colony, but a free country.” People like Chavez and Maduro are hardly glorious figures that anyone should be proud of.

Richard Luthmann's avatar

Trump’s 51st-state talk is leverage with a grin. Canada, Greenland, Venezuela—he lobs the grenade, the diplomats clutch pearls, and Rubio walks in to negotiate from strength. But let’s be honest: we can also do addition by subtraction. People joke about dropping Minnesota. I’d start with Delaware. What exactly are we getting out of Biden’s corporate mailbox state besides credit-card vampires, shell-company sleaze, and two Senate seats for a glorified toll booth? If Venezuela brings oil and Greenland brings strategy, Delaware brings paperwork and dysfunction. Trump thinks bigger because he understands the map is negotiable. So should we.

Shrugged's avatar

"Trump thinks bigger because he understands the map is negotiable."

I have come to realize as this crazy world of ours gets weirder - and more dangerous - is that a good long-term strategy would be for the United States to occupy all land in our hemisphere - from the arctic region of Canada down to Cape Horn South America. All of it.

P.S. I agree with the worthlessness of Delaware, but we can also throw in California, Oregon, and Washington states. Our west coast states are a big problem too.

Sam Prentice's avatar

Let's keep all of those states as they are part of America. Instead, let's get rid of all of the progs living in our country. Everywhere. They are worthless parasites and termites and will quickly die if left on their own without any external support.

Shrugged's avatar
1dEdited

We should note the progs hang out in states that have lots of "free money", rarely in states that don't. They'll stay until they run out of other people's money to spend for their crooked lifestyle.

We need a TURBO DOGE 2.0

WTPuck's avatar

"Turbo DOGE" would be a great band name.

steph_gray's avatar

👍🏻

I have also recently added Kamikaze Dolphins to my list of those names.

Wim de Vriend's avatar

As to your P.S., I LIVE in Oregon, because most of that poorly-run state remains very livable. Aside from that, it would be dangerous, and even disastrous, to expel any coastal state from the Union; that would amount to an invitation for a hostile nation to annex it.

steph_gray's avatar

Is there any mechanism for converting a state back to a territory?

Jeremy R's avatar

Maybe kick them out, then turn them into occupied territory.

Jeremy R's avatar

Delaware isn't a toll booth, you're thinking of Road Island.

Delaware is more like a freeway rest area without facilities.

steph_gray's avatar

Rhode Island as pronounced by the natives:

Row Dial Land

Jeremy R's avatar

True, but toll booths belong on roads and usually form an island in the middle.

But with the donks running the show, maybe Raw Deal Land?

Joe LaGreca's avatar

I found it hard to believe that Delaware is 42% Republican. The ridiculous ruling by a Biden judge to block Musk from getting his pay package approved by shareholders will lead many of these corporations to have 2nd thoughts about setting up in DE.

Adorable Deplorable's avatar

Canada has Armed Forces? Huh!

Jake's avatar

Either Canada leaves "Five Eyes" or we do. I don't think we need their intel anymore as they probably give it to the Chinese and Russia.

Adorable Deplorable's avatar

Between the electronics, the satellites, the spies, the corruption and the money it's hard to believe there are many secrets in the world anymore. It's just a big excuse to hide what few secrets are left and a TON of corruption behind "National Security".

Jeremy R's avatar

Yes, and they are both dependable soldiers.

I’m still trying to figure out where the Alfafa club is, and if Darla is there. As I look at the deal maker-in-Chief, I’ve learned that most of what he talks about today has nothing to do with what he’s doing today; it’s a distraction. The pool reporters are all so dumb, including the ones he calls dumb, they take the bait every time, and he continues to three-card monte them and must get a huge laugh at their expense. California, beginning with LA is about to birth more Pratts than Newsoms, and we’re being shown that “Doing the Donald” can work for electorates starved for truth. If Thune kills the filibuster, which he can do single-handedly with a rules change, Cornyn gets the nod and Paxton gets the AG seat Blanche is warming. If Thune doesn’t, Cornyn goes down and states need to take it upon themselves to Save Act their elections. Politics always works best from the ground up. But tick tock, Thune. Tempus fugits.

Cookie McCall's avatar

Cornyn needs to go down, he's a weasel who can't be trusted. We hope Trump doesn't endorse him

Shrugged's avatar
1dEdited

Cookie, we ALL see what Cornyn is. Why doesn't Trump? To even stay neutral is a huge slap in the face to Trump's loyal followers. Cornyn vs Paxton on doing the right things for America? There's no contest. One is a traitor and one is a patriot who has blood from his (court) battles.

I'd like someone to explain this to me. It is one of several Trump tangents I just can't get my head around and make sense out of.

TeaPartyGal's avatar

Trump absolutely sees clearly what Cornyn is; he probably sees Cornyn even more clearly than any of us. But Trump can't 'burn his bridges' with Cornyn because if Cornyn wins, Trump has to work with him, and endorsing Paxton would make Cornyn almost impossible to deal with. Trump would have even less leverage on Cornyn.

I believe it was the same in West Virginia, where Trump "endorsed" super-RINO Shelley Moore Capito, instead of MAGA Tom Willis. Last I saw, Shelley won her primary yesterday with 67% to Willis' 17%. Willis was a far better candidate, but WV voters on the ground were lazy and didn't investigate the options against Capito.

Trump has to deal with the reality of who America sends to Congress. It's our job in the states to send him better material.

Shrugged's avatar

“ But Trump can't 'burn his bridges' with Cornyn because if Cornyn wins, Trump has to work with him, . . . “

Then, you’ll have to explain why Trump picks others in a Republican field that he strongly endorses or disagrees with. Cornyn‘s RINO damage is just as bad as Massie who Trump has made strong moves to NOT endorse and have voted out. He endorsed a Massie competitor - and LOVES making the competition known. Massie has many loyal supporters that Trump is possibly losing.

The logic fails.

Big Dog 333's avatar

I’ll bet the Cruzer has told Trump to lay low and let Cornyn and Paxton slug it out.

Brian LeMay's avatar

He sees ; exerting leverage is PDJT .

Joe LaGreca's avatar

Speaking of Thune, I got a fund raising letter from him yesterday with the usual "survey" enclosed with 22 typical questions that all conservatives would agree on. One of the questions was about appointing conservative judges, but doesn't mention that they're blocking Trump from making appts & slow-walking confirmations. Also, nothing there about election integrity or the Save Act. And, they're asking for money for doing crap?

NNTX's avatar

There was a hilarious post yesterday, on X iirc, about an IT guy who programmed his phone to continuously call back spammers and play an obnoxious song. His script allowed his phone to advance through the annoying “menu” so the spam originating co had to listen to the song, over and over again. LOL. Only answer for the spammers was to block his phone no, hence no more spam calls.

CactusMatt32's avatar

I like that idea. We had a phone bot service for awhile when dot-Indian spammers were live-calling - ‘Salty Sailors’ - would drag out the call w peculiar phases that they could not understand and keep them on the line….1 bot was a tipsy lady slurring her words, another a rude dude w a bee stinging him and dog defecating in the house …. Svc would tell us how many calls ‘bit’ and how much of their time was wasted….When our Grand Uncle called - ‘an unidentified caller’, he was kind of perplexed…

The Alfalfa Club is in DC. Founded in 1913, it meets annually to honor Robert E Lee's Birthday, on the last Saturday in January.

John Wiles's avatar

We can fix Minnesota. It may take an insurrection by the real people who live there to get rid of the trash trying to destoy it, but it can be fixed. I say Cuba. It is leaderless and in poverty. It could be a real jewel for the US, as well as a military stronghold of the Southern Hemipshere. Investments there would quadruple in five years. Plus with Rubio running it, it would be a safe and beauiful place to vacation, own a home, or invest in small business.

Douglas Baringer's avatar

Sorry John, but Cuba is not in the southern hemisphere.

Wim de Vriend's avatar

True enough, but it's less than a hundred miles offshore, something you could not say about Hawaii or Guam or Puerto Rico. And I would expect the great majority of Cubans to support the idea. They must have had it up to their tonsils with communist dictators.

Jeremy R's avatar

Ironically, neither is Venezuela.

Jeremy R's avatar

Minnesota would also be a great place to visit if Rubio were running it.

Maybe Trump can make a deal, we take every Cuban yearning for freedom and give them all the DFL from north Somalia.

And the Somalis too

I blame Cher "Believe," or at least her engineer, who started the tincanification trend.

steph_gray's avatar

I guess I was too sleepy earlier to notice the reference, went back and found it, thanks!

I don't think of 16 Tons as obscure at all, but I guess that's because my musician crowd plays so much Americana, roots, bluegrass.

In fact the bluegrass group Della Mae does a terrific version of that song. I copy their version in one of my bands.

He explained, “It’s never been my intention to make Greenland the 51st state. I want to make Canada the 51st state. Greenland will be the 52nd state. Venezuela can be 53rd.”

There is a move by those thinking they can escape Trump's America to go to Ontario or Quebec, Canada where they feel at home in their leftist mindset. It's socialist paradise so they can wait it out until the leftists take over again. Some may even become Canadian citizens.

Wouldn't it be sweet to make Canada a US possession of some designation and haunt them a second time by turning Canada into the USA where they must confront the Constitution and a Republic by and for the people once again?

AOC has an Economics Degree. Can’t wait for her explanation on supply and demand.

NNTX's avatar

IIRC, when she ran the first time she could not name the three branches of U.S. gov’t.
