A limo in Putin’s car fleet has exploded in Moscow in what could be an assassination attempt against the Russian dictator.

https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/34134385/putin-limo-exploded-fire-paranoid/

While Trump is claiming Putin is a nice guy and Ukraine and Russia should be friends, Vance is claiming Greenland must be annexed by the US, because the Russians are coming to take it.

Apparently it is hard to both lie and keep up the consistency.

@elCelio likely because they have a long stay on Greenland planned for June.

The royals have been nothing but welcome in Greenland in my lifetime.

The king is apolitical, but to get around that he told the press, "My love for Greenland and it's people is unchanged".

It is daylight savings time in the EU. So before you go to bed tonight, please remember to change the time to January 1, 2028.

When you wake up tomorrow, Ukraine has won the war, Elon Musk is in jail, Trump has died from a blood clot, JD Vance has lost the US election to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Bernie Sanders is now Vice President.

So please — and I cannot stress this enough — remember to change the time.

@Gargron thank you Eugen. I am posting this because I care about Mastodon, and I worry that all these profiles are being made in preparation for misinformation attacks.

I would really like to know what is being done to address this. It means the world to me that Mastodon succeeds.

❤️🐘

I really hope Mastodon is doing something to stop the bot attack, because I am being absolutely firehosed with new empty profiles every day.

They have no text, no profile image, no posts, and look oddly similar.

This looks autogenerated to me.

We think the US is falling apart because of Trump's reelection. But Trump is just a symptom of a bigger problem:

The US is falling apart as a result of the US allowing an insane wealth distribution, where the rich pay no taxes, because their companies are offshored and now have revenues larger than countries.

This has allowed the malignant to buy both media and social media, which has allowed them to hack democracy by polluting the minds of the uneducated, which THEN has gotten Trump elected.

Denmark has not found it relevant to spend tax payer money on a large military base on Greenland. Instead Denmark gives a yearly grant of 620 million dollars to the 57,000 Greenlanders, which is spent on everything in the Greenland budget including having free healthcare, free access to universities in Denmark AND a well functioning police force.

Vance now abuses that fact to claim that Denmark has not kept Greenland safe, and therefore Greenland should become American.

Why is Greenland called Greenland when it is white and full of ice?

Greenland is inhabited by the native people called Kalaallit, and they call their country Land of the Kalaallit, which in their language is Kalaallit Nunaat.

But in 935 when the Norse explorer Erik the Red discovered Kalaallit Nunaat, he likely arrived on the coastline in the south where Greenland turns green in the summer when the ice melts. Hence the name Greenland made sense; and it is said, that Erik chose the name…

After being told in no uncertain terms that he is not welcome, JD Vance still lands in Greenland today.

Because 350 years after the white man started killing native Americans, his lust for stolen land is still insatiable.

A UK reporter asks about Signal gate, and I sense Marjorie Taylor Green is feeling pressured by the scandal.

See if you can spot it. 😀

Danish travel company Albatros ends all travel to the US. Chairman Rasmussen:

"We sincerely love the US and its people, and look forward to returning once the US elects a leadership of decency, respect and responsibility.
[…]
When Trump explains his aggression towards Greenland with security, he reveals himself as a compulsive liar.
[…]
Trump and his cronies' treatment of president Zelenskyy, the hideous pressure on Ukraine and the indecent cowering to the Russian psychopath speaks for itself."

After strong reactions from both Greenland and Denmark, the US now scales down the Greenland visit.

Originally, Vice President JD Vance and Second Lady Usha were supposed to see tourist sites and take part in local events, but the program has now been changed to the couple only visiting their own military base in northern Greenland.

“Look darling! Canned food! Isn’t that something?”

— That’s the hospitality you get from acting like complete idiots.

After the US has sent a military plane to Greenland with bullet proof cars for driving around Usha Vance, Danish Prime Minister Frederiksen says:

“This is an unacceptable level of pressure from the US, and we will push back. […] The Americans cannot claim, this is a private visit, and no one can read this independently of the statements from them, on their desire to annex another country. […] The future of Greenland is defined by the people of Greenland and no one else.”

"But her e-mails!"

This post wins the month of March:

There is as much ceasefire in a Trump brokered ceasefire, as there are Russians in a Russian salad.

I love how Trump started trade wars with everyone, arguing that the US has a trade deficit with many countries… leading to everyone now boycotting the US, and…

🥁🥁🥁🥁💥

Increasing the trade deficit.

I hear so many voicing concerns over Trump policies, saying "they haven't thought it through", "it will have negative consequences", "so many people will get hurt", etc.

It is the other way around:

They have thought it through, and the cruelty is not an unforeseen side effect — it is the objective.

You do not round up 238 Venezuelans, deport them to a foreign prison facility and shave them bold on camera by accident.

You do so too spread fear.

I decided to verify a rumor, that Elon Musk is having a hard time keeping up with the censorship he is trying to pull over his own A. I. system.

It is true.

US Second Lady Usha Vance and National Security Advisor Mike Waltz will be traveling to Greenland next week, and someone should clearly be standing at Nuuk Airport with a megaphone shouting:

"They are coming to poison the blood of our country! They are bringing drugs! They are coming from prisons and mental institutions! They will eat our cats and dogs!", etc., etc.
