He actually visited Greenland. I just saw it in the news. He just avoided the capital and only visited an army base.

Space force base. And not “an” but “the”.
Fucking chicken, his staff apparently were too afraid that locals would have pelted him with eggs.
He’d face the same treatment in most American cities, better get used to it.
I’d meet her, so as I could ask her how she can stand by these awful policies …but I’m not a woman. Or from Greenland.
Nah don’t even bother. If someone asked that, it would just be edited out of the recording. And it would still give VP a platform to talk.
Shunning is the way to go. It’s far more embarrassing.
True that. As I say…I’m not on the list, nor am I allowed to make large or important decisions alone.
find any locals who wanted to greet the Second Lady
Did they lead with that? As in, asking as if she was greenlanders “second lady” and not only americans (the term didn’t exist before this distraction, afaik)?
What? The term “second lady” most certainly existed long before this.

But only in the US as far as I know.
Most other countries don’t have a title or official position for the spouses of the elected heads of state.
Excellent, Now do every state in the US.
When we grow enough as a nation to unilaterally fail welcome her back after her tour to find a house on soon to be annexed land I think my feeling of dread will ease.

I will repeat it: Greenlanders are very based.
If you are ever in Denmark, spend an hour to visit the Greenland museum, a huge raised middle finger of an exposition reminding everyone of Danish colonialism, placed right in the middle of Copenhagen.
They are not well treated by the Danes either, who only recently recognized them the right for translators in the Danish parliament.
Are they getting DOGE to look into whether the tickets were non-refundable?
I hope it really is cancelled
You don’t invite foreign invaders, you shoot them between the eyes. See Ukraine.
Glad they got the hint.
Sorry, I think this was a mistake.
I think it would have been better for one household to welcome them warmly, say they were proud to have them in their home.
And when they showed up, sat down, had tea, had 100 greenlanders in with literal torches and pitchforks come in screaming obscenities of every kind and demanding they leave while streaming the whole thing.
Bonus points if their as detail draw their weapons, which are banned in greenland, so they end up in jail as a diplomatic incident.
In trumps first week of his first term he invited a dictator here and his security beat the fuck out of American protesters on American soil.
Nothing happened. They got on a plane and left.
You don’t think diplomatic immunity would apply? I’m sure the secret service would just sit there while a hundred people swarm. Enjoy your fantasy, but that would never happen irl.
Diplomatic immunity applies to criminal charges.
This is different, this is not diplomatic in any way, the only issue is that the government is bound to protect foreign dignitaries and foreign citizens.
HOWEVER: a state of hostility can be interpreted, and since there is no formal diplomatic delegation this can be interpreted as a hostile incursion.
In any case, since they have been asked not to come Greenland has 0 obligation to protect them in any way, and they have 0 diplomatic protection as persona non grata.
You don’t think diplomatic immunity would apply?
“… has just been REVOKED!” and then they shoot her in the head.
Diplomatic immunity is in effect only for people invited to the country as diplomats. The ambassador of USA to Finland does not have immunity when he travels to Sweden.
What I wonder: what are the laws regarding a person coming to Greenland in order to work there as a worker of a foreign company/organization? Did Vance enter Greenland as a tourist? Since he was working from Greenland’s soil without a work visa, was he an illegal immigrant?
Three weeks with lights constantly on, amirite?
Way too much. Just put a rug over the ice fishing hole in the living room and let the problem take care of itself.
This how we feel in California.
Times like this I am sad I am in California where these chumps don’t show their faces very often. My fellow statesmen are renowned for their political shithousing and they deserve to have their voices heard!
When you’re so cringe you don’t even know.
“Whatever makes sense”
