    Greenland’s governing coalition is led by a social democratic party that’s aligned with the Nordic Council’ Social Democratic Group. If the US were to buy Greenland and make it a state, the Senate could get two new socialists. BUT

    Like the mention of class. Like the stance on the side of the working class. Like the idea that the working class will win.

    If there is going to be class warfare in this country, it's about time the working class won that war.

    Labor writer does vital work, covering the organizing drives that workers must win to forge a fair economy. He’s built an independent news project that fills the void left by the abandonment of the labor beat by major media. Support !

    There is nothing more pathetic than a politician claiming that the rejection of his dimwitted scheme is an insult to the US. Denmark’s PM did not say anything offensive about the US. She said Trump’s proposal to buy is “absurd.” Which it is.

    Donald Trump is a crude and unthinking imperialist. He proposes to buy a country and when everyone says “no” he has a meltdown. Trump is absurd. He merits mockery. But, remember, this man commands the most powerful military in the history of the world.

    Well said!

    After Trump’s egregious anti- Semitism and GOP silence I really don’t want to hear from them ever again on antiSemitism. They use Jews when convenient and otherwise empower a racist president.

    I don’t think that this headline quite captures the essence of the story. Might I suggest: President Trump Cancels Trip to Denmark After Revealing that He is Batshit Crazy

    What Steve King does not seem to understand is that Kevin McCarthy only covers for your xenophobic white nationalist racism if you’re the president.

    When did Dems win lots of elections in rural regions and states? When Democrats invested lots of money in public works projects for rural regions and states. The calculus is not complicated. Sustaining rural communities wins votes in rural communities.

    If Democrats want to win battleground states, they need to do better in rural regions. Moving to the right won’t win ANY new voters for the party. Bold initiatives to guarantee high-speed internet for rural communities WILL broaden the party’s appeal.

    Whoa! Trump is actually serious about purchasing Greenland. No, no, no, this has gotten way too weird.

    President Trump says he's postponing a meeting with Denmark's prime minister because she isn't interested in discussing a proposed sale of Greenland to the U.S.
