You'd think he'd bring muffallettas or jambalaya, being from Louisiana. But, no, he brought bland, old, middle-american chocolate chip cookies. Probably Chips Ahoy, right out of the box.

Totally tone-deaf.

it maybe creepy, but as well a power demonstration. I missbehave, because I have the power behind me. There is the good way to get Greenland, the cookies, and there is the bad way…

"Landry telling a child that if they come to his house in Louisiana he will give them cookies"

What's Finnish for, "Sorry, Cletus, I don't work that cheap."?

Well, it would be kind of nice if Greenland had three electoral college votes, plus two senators and a congressperson. (I don't think their population, 56,000, is large enough to qualify for more than one.)

Oh they'd never let Greenland be a state, despite all the blather about it. It would become a territory like Puerto Rico with zero representation in Congress.

The Danes prefer butter cookies, as we all know from the tins reused as Grandma's sewing kit.

If one Republican ever acted like a normal human being, I think I would just plotz.

I took the assignment seriously. According to Google AI, there is no Greenlandic equivalent for the phrase "Fuck you, creep."

However...

You CAN say: "Tamakkerit, Iteq!" which means "Get lost, buttcheek!"

Works for me.

Only in maga world is it considered totally appropriate for an old white man to walk around trying to entice children into his house with sweet treats. 🙄🙄 Did he happen to drive up in a windowless white van as well?

The optics were already so bad anyway...why not?

Ugly, stupid, and blatantly predatory. What a rancid GOP combination.

I wonder who paid for his Greenland vacation? My guess: not him.

Next, he'll be driving around Nuuk in an old van, with a "see the puppies" sign (in Greenlandic). Eeeeewwwww.

Landry just got his butt handed to him in Saturday's election, where all 5 of his state constitutional amendment proposals failed, and there's a recall petition for him. So he's probably glad for a reason to get out of the state. On behalf of the sane people of Louisiana (there are dozens of us!), sorry for this idiot, Greenland. Maybe take him to a polar bear petting zoo or something.

Maybe somebody should warn GI Jeff that those Greenlandic children are vaccinated.

What Landry said to Greenlanders is the same lines the maggot white colonizers said to the Indigenous Peoples of North America, and we know how that turned out.
