Denmark to buy USA!

[liberty]

If Denmark wants to buy the US the answer is yes. The price is 22 trillion dollars in cash with the stipulation they take unaided personally possession in six months or lose their 22 trillion dollar deposit.

I didn't know you were a Realtor® (and according to the muckety-mucks who run their little clique it must be capitalized, and must include the 'registered trademark' symbol), or that you had the listing...

And $22 trillion would basically just cover Trump's deficit budget.  Whaddya doing, throwing the country itself in as part of the deal?

One year's GDP is about $20 trillion, the village idiot is proposing giving the country away for a song.

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—A man with no identifiable skills is deeply worried that a recession could cause him to lose his job, people close to the man have confirmed.

The man, who has barely clung to his job for the past two and a half years, is justified in believing that an economic downturn would result in his unemployment, experts said.

“When the economy is good, it’s possible for someone like him to hold down a job for which he is woefully unqualified,” Harland Dorrinson, a human-resources specialist, said. “But when the economy goes south, look out.”

Dorrinson said that the unskilled man’s résumé, which lists six bankruptcies and multiple business failures, could come under scrutiny in the event of a recession.

“His employers might find themselves asking, ‘How did he get this job in the first place?’ ” Dorrinson said.

Additionally, the man’s near-total lack of education—evidenced by his inability to spell common one-syllable words or to identify the century in which the airplane was invented—could make him vulnerable to termination, the human-resources expert said.

“On the plus side, he enjoys watching television for eight hours a day,” Dorrinson said. “During a recession, he’ll be able to do even more of that.”

I am surprised at Bill you are smarter than that. I can understand “Shit For Brains” not seeing it after all how smart can something be that likes the taste of shit. Look at the text again, it is a trick. We are vastly superior to the Danes in military power. We could easily stall them for six months and then they would lose everything. They would pay off our national debt and get nothing in return. But it is hypothetical no one in the real world would sign such a deal not even the western Europeans.

What would be rich is if the Russians seized Greenland and then sent the Danes a check for hundred dollars US. What could the Danes do about it make a diplomatic protest? Would we fight for Greenland? As long as they stayed away from our base at Thule Greenland, I don’t think so.

When you sell them the U.S., you would be selling them the U.S. military, which they could then use to take control of the country against any who would oppose them.

And then you wonder why people call you a moron.
