The fact that it takes “dissent” and resolutions to keep the President of the United States from invading an ally shows how far America, and the Republican Party in particular, have fallen.

Yet watch them vote for it. Like all those before the “big beautiful bill”. One said think about the kids before hand and then come out saying Donald signed a bunch of merch for me so I voted yes.
They’re hoping the vote rigging saves them next in November
“key figures” to me implies advisors to trump, yknow, important people, but this article is just about congress members giving their shitty opinion. no one cares what they have to say and they dont know shit.

Trump does not tolerate dissent. He’ll call for anyone who attempts to stand up to him to be primaried or ostracised from the party. he will sicc his base on them

Country of 350 mil invaded one with 56 thousand.

The US/Trump following through and actually attempting to annex Greenland would have to be the single dumbest geopolitical move by a “great power” country since Hitler’s decision to invade Poland.
That it is only getting tepid disapproval from the GOP is demonstration of how pathetic the GOP and the US have become.

Only McConnell can speak out because he’s leaving at the end of his term. The GOP always allows dissenters to be “the voice of reason” to point at when accusations of insanity get too strong.
Unfortunately, this is hopium for the masses.
The real answer is gunna be the military. Military leadership hates Trump across the board, so let’s see what happens.

Don’t worry, Fuhrer Trump shall remove the dissidents and set up new ‘yes men’ in their places.

The only acceptable “dissent” is impeachment and removal from office. Everything else is just words, and words are wind.

It’s not about Greenland.
It’s about destroying NATO. Russian Asset has to Russian Asset.
As if Putin cares about a few empty oil tankers if he gets to destroy NATO.

Mitch McConnell continues to compete with Trump for “World’s Biggest Asshole” status.

Seems that most dissent comes from Republicans who are leaving their position this year. They are already on the way out so like many politicians they seem to grow a semblance of a spine around that point in time.
That said, Thom Tillis was at least one of the few who voted against the Big Beautiful Bill.

Are these the same Republican congress people who proposed a War Powers Act to contain his Venezuela shenanigans and then voted it out of existence?
I will believe they have the spine to stand up to him when they go Sub-Zero on each other and show it to me.

Yeh, the GOP is still complicit. Fuck the lot of them.

*”Somebody needs to tell the president that the people of Greenland, up until these current times, were actually very, very pro-American and very, very pro American presence.”*
It’s not just the people of Greenland, it’s the world. Trump has torn down America faster than the West Wing of the White House.

Do you think they understand that they can just stop him? They don’t have to discourage him or warn him they can just say no. That’s kind of the point of the whole “checks and balances”…
Oh who am I kidding?

Do it and you will have enemies on the north border. You’ll have enemies on the southern border. You’ll have enemies in South America. You’ll have enemies of all of NATO. and finally, you’ll have enemies in your own citizens. When they invade, your own citizens will report your troop movements to your enemies. Your own citizens will welcome the invaders not as enemies. But as liberators, with open arms, celebration, and even collaboration. Make our day. Death to the regime.

The US is always in dire economic condition internally.
If the US seizes Greenland all NATO would have to do to finish the job is dump all their dollar reserves.

Once these dissenting Republicans have assurances from Little Marco that he will seek congressional approval and rein in Trump, then they’ll backtrack. This is literally what happened on trying to rein Trump in with regard to Venezuela last week. The very idea that Marco could have any sway here whatsoever shows how willingly ignorant these dissenting republicans can be.

One of his rich friends wants the minerals. I doubt Dane people can talk him out of it. Its a Billionaires First regime.

How about this, and I mean it seriously. Impeach the pedo and get rid of him. Show that there are consequences for being a horrible president. Stop letting him get away with it.

Lousiana senator John Kennedy said: “To invade Greenland and attack its sovereignty, a fellow Nato country, would be weapons-grade stupid. President Trump is not weapons-grade stupid.”
I beg to differ.

In case you’re new to US politics, Congressional Republicans usually allow a few of their own to dissent as long as that number is not enough to change the outcome that favors Trump.
So, there is nothing unusual in this story.
