That is what they’re going to do … but in the meantime they’ll send a shit ton of money his way for the project.

Sounds more like a Christmas special for oligarchs … that’s a pretty cheap price for a billionaire.

It’s a demolition job by an unskilled idiot.

The conservative right has taken in the task of dismantling the government but instead of hiring a big piece of machinery … they just handed a sledge hammer to a moron. Everyone will laugh at the idea and not think anything will come of it. But give the moron a year to just hammer away at walls, structure, beams, posts, wiring and eventually he’ll begin to cause significant damage and start to threaten the whole structure.

This like using a little red laser pointer to show people the huge white elephant you just found.

One thing I’ve learned about American politics is that hope doesn’t exist any more.

Don’t tell me things about US politics until after they’ve happened.

Make the first ever Greenland Honorary Peace Prize, then make a medal that is heavy on a fancy ribbon and invite Mango Mussolini to the ceremony, which will be held at a five star hotel in Montreal, to receive his prize.

It’s cheaper to hold the ceremony in another country and just send delegates … and make the medal solid steel plated with a bit of gold. Make sure to engrave a picture of the Cheeto in Chief on the medal.

Yes … (Tazers her)

America is the dysfunctional trailer park family that has put their 12 year spoiled brat child in charge of the park. Everyone hates him but they have to keep in place for some reason.

The stupid part is not that Trump is a compulsive liar … the stupid part is that America knew and fully understood that he was a compulsive and continuous liar and still voted him in and acted surprised when he started telling lies.

The fact that its even a contest shows you how stupid America is

The biggest disappointment about his opinion is that someone quoted him or referred to what he wrote.

I don’t need to read his stupidity … I already know he’s an amoral, senile nut job … I don’t need to see his texts to know that.

Is he eating or trying to play the saxophone?

And knowing America’s track record on electing dumb leaders …

It’s the worst president so far.

Why? … the US is basically exempt from anything and everything at this point

As an Indigenous person whose first language is Ojibwe/Cree … you have no idea how fast Indigenous languages are disappearing. My parents spoke only our language but they knew a little bit of English to work with the non-Native world. My grandparents spoke no English at all. I am fluent in both languages.

Starting at about the 1990s, my family became 50/50 Ojibway and English. Ten years later it became 80 percent English, 20 percent Ojibway. By the 2010s, it was about 90 percent English 10 percent Ojibway … I don’t have kids of my own but I have about 40 nieces and nephews (yes I have a big family) and several of them also have children - and almost all of them exclusively only speak English with limited Ojibway.

I’m happy they at least know the language but it isn’t their main language any more.

The fact that these people in Tasmania resurrected their language is a miracle … I am absolutely truly happy for them.

A neat bit of history about the Scots is that they left a tiny word in Indigenous language in the James and Hudson Bay region.

I’m Indigenous and I know lots of families that have direct connections to the Irish, Scots and French … hell, there is a few stories in my family tree where they might have been a Scot or Irishman in there somewhere about a hundred years back or more.

We have a word … SAGANASH … in the Ojibway/Cree, Cree, full Ojibway languages … it generally means to describe someone (a Native person) who is trying to be white or act like a white person … it’s derogatory but not terribly, it’s a word to just make fun of someone … it’s not on the level of calling a black person the n-word

The word … SAGANASH … I always thought was just another Indigenous word and never thought about it. It wasn’t until a few years ago that I discovered that it is from the Scots language … the original word is Scots and pronounced … SASANACH … a word they used to describe the English …

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sassenach

And the modern Indigenous word … SAGANASH … also has different meanings now … in some places it is still a word used to make fun of others … they use it this way around northern Ontario and western James and Hudson Bay region … but over on the Quebec side, the word seems to lose its original meaning and it is just normalized to almost nothing … to the point where it became a family name … one well known Member of Parliament in Canada was Romeo Saganash, an Indigenous Cree from James Bay.

Would have been nice to see the film … the story and school mention it but don’t make it available

We’ve done the same in Canada for years … I remember sending one to Santa when I was kid in grade school

We use a postal code system in Canada in the format of six digits separated in two three digit groups … A letter, number, letter … then a number, letter, number

So the postal code for Santa in the North Pole for Canadians is … H0H 0H0

Lookin ahead, the Guam-based firm is developing legal challenges to deep sea mining in the Pacific based on Indigenous guardianship, which Aguon says seeks to defend the ocean as “kin rather than commodity”

Great work to see that there are people actively trying to deal with the climate crisis and global warming. I’m Indigenous Canadian and the message that this law firm is building on is one I learned from my parents and Elders in northern Ontario … the idea and perspective that we don’t live for very long in this world and that we should take care of it for future generations. To treat the land and water like a living breathing entity … a sibling or a relative … that we should take care of because we exist in the same world together.
