Bold of you to assume they believe in controversial hypotheses like "latitude".

Just another reminder how stupid the people elected in US really are…
Yeah but some of them weren't elected. America is due for a civil war
I still have hope for non-violent fix.
But that hope is melting fast…
"I, John Brown, am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away, but with blood. I had, as I now think, vainly flattered myself that without very much bloodshed, it might be done."
If it’s all ice then why is it called Green?
And you don't see them pulling the same shit with Iceland. I guess the name trick worked in the end.
If Iceland is all green then why is it called Ice?
Actually, he might be from Appalachia after all guys. He’s so rugged.

USA education in a nutshell
I fucking hate that I need to defend this guy, but like, have you guys seen the video? It was very clearly a joke. A joke. There are so, so many things to get pissed off about when it comes to him alone, focusing on a dumb joke is embarrassing. If a democrat said the same thing nobody here would bat an eye.
No, we should clearly take things out of context so that the right has plenty of examples of liberals being overreacting idiots. That way they can use those examples to ignore actual, valid criticism. I mean after all, why would they believe someone on the left telling them that America is turning into a fascist state if that person is too stupid to recognize an obvious joke?
Absolutely. With these kind of focuses, the GOP doesn't have to make conscientious efforts of distraction. People make dumb jokes. People have small hands. People have combovers, bad skin, weird voices and big bellies. Bringing up these things will just start unimportant conversations in field of politics. Instead focus on actual policies which are fucking over people.
Lemmy doesn't get jokes.
Thank you! There are many reasons to hate on current US government but this ain't one.
Well people do get it, which is why the video wasn't linked, so they can't get it.
Its 2025 you don't need to lie to make republicans look stupid, just read the news smh
Very clearly a joke.

Thanks for pointing that out, had a hard time believing he said that seriously.
Yeah, he was joking. But JFC, what a self important, egotistical prick! He manages to brag about him being the VP twice in under 30 seconds.
Even he can't believe it happened.
No offense intended, but I really feel like Lemmy gather everyone on the autistic spectrum, for real.
Ohh, I see, a very Dead joke
... The Bush era joke is still holding up:
Americans learn geography via which countries they (threaten to) invade.
... I guess it is just fully beyond a joke and is now just completely literally true.
"Not only will America go to your country and kill all your people, but they'll come back 20 years later and make a movie about how killing your people made their soldiers feel sad."

Vance is such a smoothbrain, he probably thought it's called Greenland because of how lush it is.
Calling it Greenland was always a branding exercise.
Vance in Las Vegas " Where the fuck are all the meadows?!?"
TIL what Las Vegas means. But apparently, there was originally some meadows there?
Las Vegas was lush and green when it was settled. As more people arrived, the spring water that kept it that way dried up

Geography has never been my strong point, but even I know Greenland is the cold one and Iceland is the green one.

Is this.. is this like, for real? Sorry I can't tell anymore..
Yes but he was obviously joking. Still a dumb joke.
Are you telling me Lemmy has missed an obvious joke?
That's unheard of.
It is legitimately harder to tell in recent days what is real, what is fiction, what is sarcastic, what is satire. Such is the pathetic state of the world.

Leif Erikson's trolling continues to claim victims
It's named Greenland to fool the Americans out of invading Iceland.
And it's not even all that green either.
It was ironically named. Greenland is not green and Iceland is actually quite green.
Every day my mind is blown how actually stupid these people are. I wake up tead the news and wonder if it's The Onion or what
He was clearly joking when he said that. Like, there are a million legitimate things to pick on him about. Let's not invent them.

Cold? Lol, they should live in russia, the regime they are loyal to. Experience the actual coldness.
And people think they're immune to propaganda. Probably the majority read this meme and think Vance is just that stupid.
I mean he probably is that stupid, but not because of this particular instance of making a joke about the cold.

For Greenland is a hell of a place
It's a place that's never green
Where there's ice and there's snow and the whalefishes blow
And the daylight's seldom seen, brave boys
The daylight's seldom seen
