"The United States has reached out to Denmark..."

You know, the country the United States wants to invade and forcefully take land from.

America: The dumbest rocks in the sock drawer.

Maybe I’m uninformed in these things. But isn’t it super easy to get the supply of eggs increased domestically? Even in a country like India which almost has 1.5 billion people, I’ve never heard about a shortage of eggs.

'Request denied', this is an AI response derived from our 'don't give a damn' American Tech programmers.

Yah, we're going to need you to go fuck yourself.

[–] ArtVandelay@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It's a weird feeling, being what feels like a sane person in an insane country run by insane people. Hearing people tell us to go fuck ourselves when we probably agree with everything they are saying. And really not even blaming them for feeling that way based on the absolute lunatics in charge and how they behave.

Those of us who are sane totally get it.

This is a joke right? Something from the Onion? Why would any country help out Trump now?

"You will become part of the US."

two days later....

"Bro my egg prices are high, can you help a brotha out?"

[–] NotSteve_@lemmy.ca 46 points 1 day ago

I thought the US didn’t need anything from anyone else? Isn’t that what you said?

[–] digdilem@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 day ago

That would increase the prices in the exporting countries. It's not as if there's such a huge surfeit that they're being destroyed.

Help? Help? What happened to wanting to be a proud independent country that don't need no allies.

Denmark, from who they want to steal Greenland. They are obviously terminally stupid in Washington.

Friends! Canadians! Countries of unfamiliar spellings! Lend me your eggs!

This is why we HAD allies. Had. To assist with the largesse we consume as Americans. You don’t get to swing your orange dick around at the world, offending and assaulting every ally, and then ask for help.

Ask Canada… oh, wait!

WOMP WOMP WOMP, EH?

I would love to see NATO countries (besides the US) band together and say:

”We will come together to support our great ally, so long as she saves herself. Upon the acceptance of President Trump's and Vice President Vance's resignation, we will provide the aid that our friend needs."

Trump could, in fact, be the hero here. He could walk away from the presidency with a win. For added measure, these countries could write lofty and wonderful articles about Trump's selflessness.

We know he won't.

Aside: I'm not saying Mike Johnson would make a good president. But let's take this one thing at a time.

As a true American, don't help us with eggs, it'l hurt your country in the long run. Let us suffer so we can get our heads out of our asses and purge the nazis.
