Granted, I don't know many people who live in Alaska

[EYESORE 9001]

Nor does my knowledge of Alaskan history, politics, and culture extend past the hundreds of articles which reference their fiercely independent nature. Going on that alone, I’m dubious that Alaskans will take a giveaway - no matter what form it may take - lying down. C’mon, Alaska! This is the big bad federal government coming to strip natural resources, displace populations, and probably grant a toehold to the Russian dictator. Don’t let us down.

1. I think four things things

1. A distraction from the #Epstein Files.

2. Flooding the zone.

3. Sparking rage in Americans who do not want the god damn Russkies getting our minerals/resources.

4. As a result - trying to turn us against Ukraine. Krasnov of the Yam Tits: Well if Ukraine had given their minerals over to Russia we wouldn't have to give ours. You should have them now.

To all of this I say?

Fuck off you pedo rapist. Release the #Epstein Files. Slava Ukraine!

2. Point taken

It doesn’t alter the fact that Krasnov is poised to violate national sovereignty to gain favor with our avowed adversary. IOW, a traitor of the most heinous sort. Distraction or not, everyone needs to raise holy hell once giveaways are mentioned.

3. I don't think Trump is going to give

anything away to Russia. This is just another shiny object tost out to distract the media from Epstein.

4. I wish I shared your optimism

Perhaps one of his toadies informed him that giving away anything in Alaska could incite rebellion - possibly within the CONUS as well. Hard to convince me that he hasn’t been marinating that thought in his rancid brain for awhile now, though.

5. I'm with you

Anything is possible with old Yam Tits.

10. Thank you

I've kept a pretty low profile over the years. 34K posts of my assery running it's course!

Makes my day when I see one of your posts.

6. He could though - he has the numbers in Alaska

Party Registration Statistics

Total Registered Voters: 569,196

Democrats: 69,184 (12.15%)

Republicans: 135,535 (23.81%)

Third party/Other: 29,537 (5.19%)

Unaffiliated: 334,940 (58.84%)

So far - the magapub rank and file just goes along to get along with Yam Tits.

8. Is that even constitutional?

This would seem to rise to the level of a treaty, and potus cant unilaterally declare a treaty valid. It requires congressional certification.

Yes, federal agencies can grant leases, but they have to pre-approved by congress.

Can this just be signed away by one child?

9. Putin probably has a suitcase of money for Trump's influence.

11. Donald is all willing to have Ukraine give/swap land to Russia. Why not Alaska?
