Cruz: "When it comes to Greenland, I want to commend President Trump for being single-mindedly focused on America first... I believe it is overwhelmingly in America's national interest to acquire Greenland... the whole history of America has been a history of acquiring new lands and new territories"

This Cruz is insane. Listen what he says:” overwhelmingly the history of the US is acquiring new lands…..” not caring about people owning that ”new” land. Do as the Dutch: make new land out if the see where nobody lives.

Why are “we” exalting colonialism? Cruz and I are contemporaries, but obviously didnt have the same 8th grade social studies book. I learned the pride of the history of the America is to exemplify inalienable truths, model international coexistence and safeguard the freedom and security of allies.

When asked about the pardon of Drug Kingpin Juan Orlando Hernandez, Sen Cruz said he believes it is overwhelmingly in America's Best Interest...

It’s really an underrated skill, how Cruz is able to articulate so clearly while his mouth creates a vacuum seal with Trump’s asshole

Let's say he somehow pulls it off, somehow, someway bullies the EU, NATO and Denmark to sell Greenland to the US. Wouldn't we then have a whole territory of people absolutely pissed, taking any opportunity to revolt and try to break away? Military occupation would be necessary.

What makes you think they won't send in ICE with military backing to ethnically cleanse the new territories of "illegals". A new trail of tears for the modern America. There's been so many lines crossed this last year that assuming they would never do that would be naive.

On the Most Hated list, Poor Ted is trying to stay relevant & in the good graces of the demented dictator. Time to ship him off to Cancun. Or perhaps he needs to be stripped of his American citizenship & sent back to Canada, where he was born.

Last I 👀 🇨🇦 didn’t want him either— Remember him elbowing his wife ( the same Trump insulted ) while he was caught up with some politco at the podium Do recall former Senator ( & erstwhile SNL comedian ) Al Franken’s quip- about being Ted Cruz’s best friend in the Senate And he hated Ted Cruz 🤣

We also allowed slavery, treated native Americans horribly, and interred Japanese Americans in WW2 for no defendable reason, but I’m guessing Cruz would be okay with that again, too?

Forgetting after WII our leadership in human rights leading to progress in civil rights, our leadership in sovereignty for nations so "world conquering" notions would die an eternal death🦅This "single-minded" insanity gives the next generation a weak future🦅vote better gov't, vote for Good🇺🇲

Never mind that Trump called his wife ‘ugly’ (much like little Marco) and intimated that Ted’s dad was involved in the Kennedy assassination - there’s prime-pedo boot to lick!

Ted Cruz is the biggest trump suck-up there is. He doesn't care that his Texas constituents can't afford groceries, or healthcare insurance, or a place to live. They have such a different definition of America first than the rest of us. #AcquireCancunCruz

Oh? Cancun Cruz has amnesia. I bet he forgets Trump called his wife ugly too. bsky.app/profile/impl...

Ted Cruz in 2016, "We're liable to wake up one morning and Donald Trump if he was President would have nuked Denmark" "That's not the temperament of a leader to keep this country safe"

Ted Cruz believes no such thing. Taking over Greenland has never, ever, been either a conservative or Republican Party objective. It is singularly a bizarre crackpot idea localized entirely to Donald Trump.

The whole ‘If we don’t invade Greenland, Russia will’ story sounds like it’s been cooked up between the Kremlin & US govt. It’s mutually beneficial - Makes Trump look tough on Russia without causing them any harm….. ..& ends NATO, which has been Putin’s goal for over two decades.

Trump wants to add on Wikipedia Acting President of Greenland No other reason for it. We already have an agreement with Greenland to expand our existing troops there. So that eliminates military protection as an excuse orange man

Neither did Trump mentioned it during his campaign,neither did his mention his love for putin, abandoning allies and turning country from democracy into aggressive imperialistic force. On the other hand he also never mentioned the word Democracy so that should have been a warning right there.

When this massive shit show is over, Fox needs to be bought by THE PEOPLE, & used for FACTS ONLY. Trump & his adult spawn (if not executed 4 treason) should be deported to a jungle they can never leave, with only primitive tools for survival. Learn to survive without riches, bitches.

"The whole history of America has been a history of acquiring new lands and new territories." Like all the "new land" involved in the 368 treaties with native Americans that the federal government broke?

He cares so much about the American people he's willing to spend money trying to take other countries rather then use it to improve their lives ...

It's spelled Russia, Ted, you absolute potato. It is in Russia's national interest when the US goes to war with Europe and when Europe decides to pull the trigger on the US economy and global reach through it's bases..

Cruz is lying. Since 1900 (125 years ago, exactly half of US history), the US has relinquished far greater amounts of land and people (Cuba, Philippines) than it has acquired (Virgin Islands, Northern Mariana Islands). Those two acquisitions total 313 square miles, smaller than Los Angeles.

I'll also note that the US administered the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands under a United Nations mandate after WW2 but eventually relinquished control of all islands except for the Northern Marianas, whose residents voted overwhelmingly to become a Commonwealth of the United States.

Also noteworthy that the US granted formal independence to Cuba in 1902 but exerted substantial control over the country until Castro toppled the US-backed government in 1959. Perhaps Ted Cruz is embittered by America's decades-long failure to overthrow the Castro government and its successors.

Long story short: Ted Cruz is lying in service of an imperialist agenda from which the US has been retreating for more than a century and which it essentially abandoned many decades ago, in favor of diplomacy (yay) and CIA-backed coups (boo).

From now on, anyone who gets on the trump talking points tour, has cemented the idea theyre in the epstein files

Do they realise that their troops are there already, as in many EU countries to protect their allies? Once you decide they're on an invading mission, you are the enemy. All US personal in European countries will be treated as such or else where next, UK, Germany, etc etc

And that is exactly how America was not a super power until half way through the 20th century. It was only when America stood for the sovereignty of other countries and the defender of democracy that we became the most powerful country in the world. Cruz is an absolute idiot. Go back to Cancun!

they are coordinating that narrative:

Sam@samd.bsky.social

the fact that Republican senators like Schmitt can’t even write a fascist screed on their own and instead have to rely on chatGPT perfectly captures the unique combination of evil and stupid that defines the modern Republican Party
