Are we ever going to find out what happened to mitch McConnell

I can't help but wonder if the incidents of AI ostensibly hacking its way out of sandbox environments is faked or coached so as to make the news and convince people that these things are more impressive than they really are.

Seems Lindsey Graham has passed away unexpectedly, so I share now what he will be remembered for in Denmark, if anything:

Trump ally calls Danish PM ‘little lady’ in foul-mouthed Greenland rant

An American senator called the Danish prime minister a “little lady” in a foul-mouthed rant over the future of Greenland, reports say.

yahoo.com

Nobody in Denmark is happy about Trump's latest whining about Greenland, but Washington's rhetoric rings a good deal more hollow this time than it did when we deployed regular forces to Greenland to resist a potential invasion last time (they are still there, and now well entrenched.)

Based on the trending topics I guess the federal reserve is being added to Fortnite

No, advertisers, there is actually not that much of an overlap between the guy who keeps buying 40k audiobooks and the guy who will consider buying Harry Potter audiobooks. 😑

Holy crap, someone did the Oprah attack!

Trump: “I didn’t want to say this, but this is why we have to have the ballroom.”

1/ With Trump once more looking to Greenland to manipulate the markets for the benefit of his cronies plays on prediction markets and to distract from his being Epstein's closest associate, I'm happy that the Danish troops sent months ago have remained there to entrench and prepare the whole time.

Why is this child still allowed to play president?

Trump: NATO is a paper tiger now… it all began with Greenland, we want Greenland. They don't want to give it to us. And I said, bye bye.

For the moment the election results are looking like the centrist government in Denmark will continue in some form with added supporters. Not my first choice (I'd prefer a move to the left) but Denmark in a safe set of hands until Trump is out is more important than my preference.

I wonder if behind closed doors, the AI companies are feeling much like the gulf states that their bribes had a lousy return on investment. Anywho, here's hoping that their entire industry burns to the ground.

There's my vote cast in the Danish parliamentary elections today, best of luck to SF, and to the prime minister! I also extend my thanks to the US media for ignoring the Danish election and thereby keeping it from the mind of the demented ogre currently squatting in the ruins of the white house.

I was going to translate this from the Danish news article earlier but Chris has done the job already. Our government is admirably committed to Denmark not going through another 9th of April (1940) - Greenland may ultimately be forcibly occupied, but the US military would have to bleed for it first.

1/ Denmark was reportedly preparing for full-scale war with the US over Greenland in January, with military support from France, Germany, and Nordic nations. Elite troops and F-35 jets with live ammunition were sent, and runways were to be blown up to prevent an invasion. ⬇️

Lindsey Graham, on behalf of Trump, lecturing Europe about arrogance and fickle allies is a joke so exquisite that he could never have come up with it intentionally. Denmark will be keeping its troops on Greenland, wouldn't want all those Russian and Chinese subs to get on shore.

Lindsey Graham says he spoke to President Trump today and he's furious at NATO allies not wanting to help the U.S. in Iran. "I have never heard him so angry in my life," Graham says.

A very strange time for the Islamic Republic to begin a dynasty.

I hereby thank God neither Denmark nor Greenland are in the bible.

EXCLUSIVE: At more than 30 installations, U.S. commanders told troops the war on Iran is a Christian war. The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been “inundated” with more than 110 complaints. One NCO said they were told the U.S. war is to bring about Armageddon and the return of Jesus…

So to sum up the opinions of the Danish government: The PM and FM have said that the Iranian government a repressive state and an enemy, but that Denmark was not notified of nor took part in the US/Israeli attack on Iran. DK govt supports de-escalation.

The Danish government has called for legislative elections on the 24th of March, and I think this is a good decision with the US military so heavily committed to their buildup near Iran. Preparations have already been made for US sabre-rattling during the election campaign.

Danish PM's reaction to Trump's hospital ship post: "Am happy to live in a country where there is free and equal access to healthcare for everyone: Where it is not insurance and wealth which decides if you get proper treatment. Same approach as they have in Greenland. Good Sunday to everyone. 😊"

Oh good, Trump is helpfully sending an AI-generated ship to take care of all of those Greenlanders who are in critical condition because of how greatly they valued Trump's illegal tariffs. 🙄

The white house is being a sick joke, I guess they decided against doing anything special for valentines day. 🤢

1) So given what I've seen around the English language press about Europeans getting complacent, I think it's worth highlighting todays headlines in the Danish news, at least on Danmark's Radio. First there's the cringe, it drew headlines that Trump shared his V-day card featuring Greenland.

Reading the English-language news you'd think that it was the Danish PM alone who was going to have a meeting with Rubio, but Greenland's PM is accompanying her and I feel like that is not trivial minutiae when Greenland is the topic at hand. #greenland

I can't think of anything I'd want to do less with my time than attending a protest against taxing billionaires. This is an insane amount of bootlicking energy.

From a European perspective it's especially strange that Trump be the man whom Republicans want to make dictator given how old, frail, and in poor health he is. There are no autopens in the grave, and regime successors are never in as strong a position, and they burned their chance for this clown?

Sometimes you just want to ask John Roberts, you destroyed the United States for ****Donald Trump*****

Until yesterday all I knew of the Norwegian royal family was that they were closely related to the Danish royal family and that there was a Norwegian princess who was bit weird. Reading the news the past couple of days I am curious - What on Earth happened?

A fresh poll on Danish attitudes towards the USA has been published today, of those polled 17% view the US as an ally, 20% don't know, 3% didn't answer, and 60% view it as an adversary. Notably this new and hostile perception is not concentrated in any specific groups but is general. #greenland

A major demonstration was held in Copenhagen today as Danish veterans placed 44 flags each with a name of a soldier who died supporting the NATO missions in Iraq and Afghanistan. 44 such flags were removed and trashed days ago by US embassy personnel who later pled ignorance and apologized.
