Denmark summons US envoy after report of Americans carrying out influence operations in Greenland

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — Denmark’s foreign minister had the top U.S. diplomat in the country summoned for talks after the main national broadcaster reported Wednesday that at least three people with connections to President Donald Trump have been carrying out covert influence operations in...

People in the UK are painting roundabouts with the St. George flag because they don’t like foreigners.

What a fucked up world we live in.

 

[Poppy_Sweets]

This is exactly why we were supposed to have checks and balances in this country. I don’t understand how this is allowed. How has this president not be removed from office? The over reach and corruption is on full display and the other branches are like, “Oh well, suck it America”

And where are all the 2nd amendment people? They need their AR-15 for when the government turns on its people…. Fucking hello, it’s happening…. wtf.

 

[Poppy_Sweets]

I don’t know why I was surprised that ICE arrested 2 firefighters in Washington state. They stopped two crews for 3 hours. The crews were Native Americans. wtf

Charlie Kirk was just shot in the neck while giving a speech at UVU.

Holy fuck. I never thought it would happen...

I just saw the clip. He's not surviving that.

I just saw the clip. He's not surviving that.

At first, I'd only seen the clip filmed from an elevated distance, which was not "too" bad. But I just saw the up-close clip from ground level and damn.....
The blood loss in the immediate seconds afterward does not look survivable.

Nope.

Yep. Like someone running a bath tap full pelt.

Also Charlie Kirk....

"I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational. Nobody talks like this. They live in a complete alternate universe."

Also Charlie Kirk....

Put it on his fucking tombstone.

Also Charlie Kirk....

Definitely near the top of the "fuckers who had it coming" list.

Just here to say I hate carrying my greencard everywhere now and Ice is in my town beating people up Scary times

And he did not....

Confirmed dead.

Yep. Multiple sources including OrangeMenace.

Utah... Where they recently made it legal for open and concealed carry of firearms on campuses. FAFO

 

[Vixxen81]

Have seen a few angles now and it looks like he picked up the mic and said three or four words before the shot was fired, morbidly curious as to what those words were.

econds before Charlie Kirk was shot, he was heard on video answering a question about transgender mass shooters in America.

Here’s a look at the exchange:

Audience member: “Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the last 10 years?”

Kirk: “Too many.”

The same audience member went on say the number is five, and proceeded to ask if Kirk knows how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last 10 years.

Kirk: “Counting or not counting gang violence?”

Seconds later, the sound of a pop is heard and the crowd screams as Kirk gets shot and recoils in his seat.

Oh the karma. Man. Thanks for finding that.

I might get banned from here for saying this, but I’m going to say it.

I don’t think Charlie Kirk’s murder is something to celebrate or make jokes about. Violence is violence. Murder is murder. It’s truly upsetting how many people think this is something to be happy about. Regardless of his political views, he was still a human being. A husband, a father, a son.

Agreed but I’m concerned it could be a false flag.. maybe I sound like a conspiracy theorist but it reeks

I also think the reaction is interesting compared to Luigi shooting the United CEO

I don't think it's a false flag, too many videos of it taken by people who attended the speech. That's just me though...I think 2025 is teaching me that "anything is possible" also means insane dystopian things lol.

No, false flag refers to real events created or blamed on the wrong culprits to be used to justify something or distract from something.

this would mean it was ordered by someone on the right as either a distraction from stuff like the scrutiny over the Epstein birthday book, the general negative news cycle about the economy etc OR to be used as an excuse for an action (possibly to bolster/excuse troops in cities)

A similar example would be the reichstag fire which was used to spur action against the dissidents or the 1999 apartment bombings Putin used to trigger the Chechen war.

Obviously this could also be an extremist left wing person but to my inexperienced eye this looked like a professional assassination and at the time of my writing this, no shooter has been caught.. which makes me wonder about possible support.

I guess I’m saying the timing oddly feels convenient to benefit Trump and I think it’s right to question why that might be.

Yeah, in my inexperienced eye anyone who can make a one-shot neck shot from a rooftop ~150-yards away must be some sort of professional.

Although I’m not surprised they got away in the confused aftermath… with only campus security and Kirk’s own security who you can bet weren’t ready for that type of assassination attempt…
