I think Biden was actually fairly competent for most of his career. He just came across as a dumbass near the end because he was completely senile and served as a figurehead for a group of dumbasses who were actually running things behind the scenes. He wasnt a dumbass, just a potato
Define 'competent'. He was always dumb as shit, and aggressive as shit, with a tendency to run his mouth and insult the voters. He didn't become that way because of dementia, dementia just made it more obvious
Biden was known for saying stupid things for decades before he went fully senile, he was at best an empty-headed gladhander. Him being vice-president was a deadman switch to protect against domestic would-be assassins, because NO ONE actually wanted him as prez.

Honestly it isn't a bad deal for the Greenlanders themselves. US mineral investment means jobs, same with US bases. These activities are going to need local support staff and compared to local wages generally the jobs pay pretty well. If I was a Greenlander I wouldn't be the least bit upset that someone was going to come in and provide good paying jobs.
One thing I didn't hear mentioned was that indigenous Greenlander activities like clubbing baby seals is illegal under American law. would be difficult to deal with
 
There is a special place in hell for the kind of people that upload 150 different things on their stories, even worse when it's all political. I just want to see the funnies damn it.
Before COVID/ St. Floyd riots, she mostly posted travel and family updates. Very normie, and maybe the occasional political post. Now it’s like 95% political and 5% touching grass. She legit thinks about Trump more than I do, and I’m a Trump supporter. If any of her kids end up rebelling, it will be super easy, because she thinks anything she doesn’t personally support is “fascism.” You could just tell her you support only legal immigrants and not illegal immigrants, and you’d get the fascism accusation.

I remember Robin Williams of all people making jokes about Biden's retardation during his standup, and he's been dead since 2014.

He wasn't at the "forgetting where he was and shitting himself" stage yet but he was seen as a loopy dumbass famous for his gaffs years before he even ran for office. He was like the left-wing Dubya.

The thought crossed my mind the other day, there's almost three times as many people in my local county as there are in all of Greenland. Do they even know what's going on? There's like 50k people who are primarily made up of the indigenous population. Anyone not catching, selling, or shipping fish is living off of welfare. Does the question of whoever has "ownership" of the land really make any significant difference in these peoples' lives? I see a lot of Americans and Euros arguing back and forth, but I haven't seen any strong indication that Greenlanders themselves give much of a shit.
 

They don't even pretend they care anymore. The strategy here is obvious: they are throwing everything and the kitchen sink so they can just overwhelm the Republican resistance and even if 90% of it is blocked the 10% that goes through is enough for eternal electoral fixing.

This shit needs to all be shutdown.

If you're seriously discussing acquiring Greenland, the population of the island greatly relies on Danish subsidies to make up for its lackluster economy. In a pragmatic sense even if Greenlanders dislike Denmark and how it treats them their government still relies on money from the Danes monetarily.

From the United States International Trade Administration Denmark Country Commercial Guide:
Greenland’s status within the Kingdom of Denmark is outlined in the Self Rule Act (SRA) of 2009, which details the Greenlandic government’s right to assume a number of competencies from the Danish government, including the administration of justice, business and labor, aviation, immigration and border control, as well as financial regulation and supervision. Greenland has acquired control over taxation, fisheries, internal labor negotiations, natural resources, and oversight of offshore labor, environment, and safety regulations. Denmark retains authority over foreign, security, and defense policy, as well as border control issues, including immigration into Greenland. Greenland’s GDP was estimated at DKK 20.19 billion (USD 3.24 billion) in 2021. Denmark provides Greenland with an annual block grant of DKK 3.9 billion — roughly USD 511 million — which accounts for approximately 20 percent of Greenland’s GDP and more than half of the public budget.
