Rep. Randy Fine (R-Fla.) has introduced a bill to make Greenland the 51st state in the U.S., following President Trump’s recent push to acquire the Danish territory.

The “Greenland Annexation and Statehood Act” was introduced by the Florida Republican on Monday, his office said in a press release. The bill’s goals, according to its text, include enabling “the annexation and subsequent admission to statehood of Greenland.”

“Greenland is not a distant outpost we can afford to ignore—it is a vital national security asset,” Fine said in the press release. “Whoever controls Greenland controls key Arctic shipping lanes and the security architecture protecting the United States.”

“America cannot leave that future in the hands of regimes that despise our values and seek to undermine our security,” he added...................

Randy Fine is bloated SOB!!


GOP Rep. Randy Fine is introducing a bill that would authorize Donald Trump “to take such steps as may be necessary” to take over Greenland and place it on a pathway toward becoming part of the United States.

“I think it is in the world’s interest for the United States to exert sovereignty over Greenland,” Fine told Fox News.

6. It will.........

[Aristus]

17. I appreciate your encouragement.

[Matthew28]

3. Doesn't make sense

50k people that don't want to be part of the United states is ok but 3.5 million in Puerto Rico that have voted to become a state isn't.

WTF?

Why not Puerto rico and Virgin islands as the 51st state? Let greenland vote for it first. Maybe once they do then they can become a part of the 51st state.

[hamsterjill]

27. Because the whole point is to nullify NATO

As Putin has instructed Trump to do.

[OAITW r.2.0]

28. Because, Race.

4. .....Karoline Leavitt said Monday said that there was not a "timeline" for the U.S. to take over Greenland.

I have to wonder if I am reading the ONION!!

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Monday said that there was not a “timeline” for the U.S. to take over Greenland...........

5. Gee...

Fine doesn’t physically project the “warrior” look Trump and Hegseth seem to insist on.

[Scubamatt]

7. Insane

Blankin', certifiably, insane. Yet the media will sane-wash it and help frame the debate as if it is reasonable to just go take over someone else's territory, like Hitler in 1938 or Putin in 2014.

[The Madcap]

8. This stooge

besmirches the noble Larry Fine by having the same surname.

Looks more like Curly Joe.

[The Madcap]

9. And the photo of T****

looks like he's passing a bowling ball.

48. He is probably trying to

remember his safe word for his next meeting with Putin

[NewHendoLib]

10. Holy fucking shit ..

11. I knew it was that sociopath

[Initech]

12. Randy Fine has his lips permanently superglued to Trump's ass.

Fuck that guy!

13. Florida Man introduces bill seeking to make Greenland 51st state

[Evolve Dammit]

14. Insanity induced Magat cult POS

[Glaisne]

15. Being a troll

is their favorite thing. What a waste. How does this serve his constituents?

[bronxiteforever]

16. "It's in the world's interest"? Florida Rep speaks for the world.

[sakabatou]

18. If Randy Fine wants to go to war with Denmark

make him go alone. No backup. No gun. No armor. Just him, against the entire EU.

I wonder how long he'd last against a hail of 5.56.

[GiqueCee]

53. Even those wit lousy aim...

... couldn't help but hit the target.

[Timeflyer]

19. On behalf of all FL Dems--apologies. He's a venal lickspittle moron.

Sorry.
Undskyld
Lo siento.
Scusa.
Gomen.

And every other possible language.

20. "We need it, therefore it's ours."

Trump is still breaking the ninth commandment, but with mineral rights instead of wives.

21. It would be so nice to get rid of all this stupidity.

republicans always find the dumbest possible things to focus on and yap about.

[F-18_AMO]

42. Stupid vs. Evil

I used to confuse stupid with evil. Magats are stupid (base), evil (rich donors) or a combination.

[Buddyzbuddy]

22. What is it about Randy Fine's face that makes me immediately think of "soft underbelly"?

Or Bob from Bob's Big Boy.
Otherwise I'm sure he's a fine upstanding citizen with nothing but husky clothes in his closet.

[The Madcap]

34. Is he in ICE?

Put a mask on him, and he'll fit right in.

[LeftinOH]

23. The minimum population for statehood is 60k; Greenland has less than that..

And also -- Puerto Rico, Guam, and the USVI have more than enough residents each to be a state, but aren't.. because reasons.

And also -- The world's "best interest" is the opposite of whatever Randy Fine thinks.

[Cha]

24. FO Fine. he also approved of Renee's Killing.

GD Ugly MF.

[Blumancru]

25. Dems should add an amendment to also give statehood to Puerto Rico, DC, and the US Virgin Islands.

[B.See]

30. what... more Black and Brown people?

Hell, they're trying to get rid of us now. At last Greenland has all that snow. (insert sarcasm, sardonic humour thingy here)

[OAITW r.2.0]

26. Excellent. Make Republicans go on the record.

[BeyondGeography]

29. 54k pop., two MAGA Senators

Feels right.

[Mz Pip]

31. Add 2 Democratic Senators

Fine may want to rethink his bill.

Not that it’s going to happen anyway.

[dweller]

32. Florida man bloviates

yet all I hear is fwap fwap fwap fwap fwap fwap …


😑

[orangecrush]

33. Hey Fine

Wipe that brown stuff off your nose

[Doodley]

35. And if he doesn't get the votes, where does that leave Trump?

[AverageOldGuy]

36. Do these dumbasses ever stop to think . . .

. . . that the State of Greenland will have two senators and probably one representative who no doubt will be Democrats?

[Talitha]

37. Oh, FFS !!!

[Intractable]

38. In a pun ... this situation sucks, but it's just Fine.

41. Fine is one of the most evil people in Congress.

And that’s saying something for a building absolutely flooded with evil motherfuckers.

[JohnnyRingo]

43. He must be up for re-election and looking for some Ballroom Props.

He might have a primary challenger and needs an endorsement to lock it down.
The GOP should have a star on Hollywood Boulevard..

[LudwigPastorius]

44. How does that Trump ass taste, Representative Randy?

You are a fucking idiot!

[Ol Janx Spirit]

45. I wonder for which party the two senators for Greenland would vote?

[AllyCat]

46. How about just work out a trade deal?

What is up with the hostile takeover of a sovereign state?

These people are deranged.

[AcanthaV]

47. Annexing a NATO ally? The GOP has officially lost its collective mind.

This isn't just a "bill"—it's a declaration that the Republican Party no longer respects international law or sovereign borders. Imagine being Denmark right now. You’ve been a loyal NATO ally for decades, only to have U.S. representatives introduce legislation to seize your territory like it’s 19th-century "Manifest Destiny."

This is exactly how you destroy every strategic alliance we have left. It’s colonialist, it’s delusional, and it’s dangerous. Does anyone remember when we used to criticize other countries for "annexing" territory? I guess that only applies when we aren't the ones doing it.

[Figarosmom]

49. He's an idiot

Who wants to get on his knees and kiss trumps ass. But the way rubio and vance looked at each other when trump got up to look at his nonexistent ballroom was rather knowing. The guy has mush for brains and he wouldn't even be aware of fine's gesture. I'm pretty sure this won't even make it to the floor.

[bigmonk]

54. Of course

Of course a Republican would want Greenland to be a state. It's got valuable resources, large area and the population is almost exclusively white. But he wouldn't say that about Venezuela.
