So that means Venezuelans will get USA citizenship right?.. Right?
And two senators, a few seats in the House, and several Electoral College votes, right?
LOL, 1M barrels. So, just over an hour’s worth of oil? Assuming we can even refine it?
What makes him think Venezuela would even vote for him if they were a state? Not to mention you’re going to have a really hard time deporting all those illegal immigrants (brown people) once you make 32 million Venezuelans citizens.
Wait wait, I thought he wanted Greenland as the 51st state?
No, it was Canada.
IMO, Canada is way too big for one state. Should be at least 3-5 states.
I didn’t give him permission to make Venezuela a state
On a positive note, making Venezuela a 51st state would mean DC and Puerto Rico would finally get a better shot.
Simultaneously, it would tarnish the entire concept of statehood, introducing the specter of imperialism into it’s definition.
Agree on increasing the odds that Puerto Rico and DC have for statehood, but don’t think it tips the balance.
I’m not so sure that the entire concept of statehood would be tarnished though; Vermont, Texas, and Hawaii were all independent countries before they became states, and that’s even before you start discussing whether North America was ruled by Native Americans before the Europeans and later Americans pushed them aside and declared their own sovereignty.
Don’t forget New Mexico. From Wikipedia:
“Upon Mexican independence in 1821, New Mexico became an autonomous territory that saw an 1837 Rebellion against the central government, with increasing economic ties to the United States. After the Mexican–American War in 1848, the U.S. annexed New Mexico as part of the larger New Mexico Territory, which was central to U.S. westward expansion. New Mexico was a territory for 64 years before it was admitted to the Union as the 47th state on January 6, 1912.”
Cool, so my gas prices are lower right?
Nope. It just means now trump has oil to sell, and the higher the price (say… matching European pricing) the more money he steals.
Trump is a one trick pony - greed. Nothing he does is outside of that parameter.

That’s an unfair oversimplification.
He also very much enjoys raping children.
Not sure how a tanker full of hot air and bullshit will lower your gas prices unfortunately.
1 million barrels of thick sludge. Definitely just as easy to refine as middle eastern light crude.
Gosh. I hope Canada and Greenland don’t get mad. I know both of them look forward to being (86☼47) - #51.
I’ve heard they were both clamoring at the UN to be the number one draft pick for US position #51.
Canada should be terrified of the US right now. Almost all of Alberta’s oil is bitumen…the same crap Venezuela is having stolen from them right now. Alberta is next.
I have very little doubt that the US is involved in pushing Alberta separatism propaganda for exactly this purpose.
They absolutely are. Follow the money. https://www.canadawill.ca/blog/the-money-behind-the-movement-whos-really-fueling-albertas-push-to-separate/
What’s that? 10 mins of gas for east coast?
Phhffffttt
Fun fact: the human body is made of 75% water. Except for Trump. He’s made of 75% hot air.
You spelled shit wrong.
Oh great, first we had to share a union with fascist states and now he wants to add a red-fascist state under duress? Fuck that, just sign their asses up for NATO and call it good.
