1. Bravo! Stay green Greenland, don’t let the orange blob stain you.

2. Laws are effective at stopping small-scale corruption. They are less effective when the criminal enterprise seeks to gain control of the state itself – in that case, if they win, they can obstruct law enforcement and avoid consequences.

3. This is fantastic news! Great work, Greenlanders!

4. Well done Greenland! Looks like Mexico, Canada and Greenland won’t be taking any of Trumps BS.

5. Good on you Greenlanders. Stand your ground against this absolute ditchpig.

   I would like to apologise to both ditches and pigs for this comment

6. Personally think Norway, Sweden, Iceland, Denmark, Finland, Ireland and U.K all need to create a trade/defence alliance with Greenland.  Call it GIFUNDS.

   These lot are fucking bonkers. And it will take bonkers Valheim level shit to stop these loons from trying to get their own miniseries. 

   Fucking Adams Family, The Munsters and the Beverley Hillbillies all rolled into one shit sandwich. 

7. Might need to ban some foreign-owned media too.

8. Goo

9. They need their own military base on Greenland. Telling Trump to expand military presence is telling him to take it.

10. “Seeks the island”. Such courageous phrasing!

11. A government with sense!

12. Playing chess! Good for you Greenland, don’t let these lunatics ruin your country.

13. How is this not law everywhere?

14. UK needs to do this immediately, while at it they should ban any donations from UK citizens who do not reside in the UK for “tax reasons”. You know, all the thieves who own the media while paying no tax.

15. Just think this is week 3. Imagine the chaos in 3 months

16. “Election laws”

17. Good move

18. Good call, pre-emptively shut down attempts at bribery.

19. This is wonderful!

20. Can I move to Greenland? They seem to know how it is done.

21. well done!

22. Good move, stay strong.

23. The orange turd 💩 is a global embarrassment

24. This is extremely wise.

25. Stay strong, Greenland. Your allies won’t let you be turned into Orangeland.

26. They should also ban douchebags from visiting.

27. As an American, actually wild to see a government act in response to an imminent threat to democracy.

28. Damn if only our politicans could ban donations from harmful entities.

29. It would cost a lot and they wouldn’t get much in return.

30. I’m so jealous that other countries can ban foreign money so quickly and the US is still fighting over who can use the bathroom.

31. It must be cool to have a government that works for the betterment of its own people.

32. It’s not an easy thing to legislate away. Even if you disallow direct donations, they can just transfer money to local company and then have that do the donation. If you make that illegal, they will just add more steps to the process. Ultimately I think political campaings should not be allowed to take donations. Government should give each candidate/party identical budged they use to campaign, and no other money should be involved.

33. That’s so efficient!

34. Greenland, make sure your politicians don’t start selling fake bibles, NFT cards, and hats for outrageous money, just to launder the illegal contributions.

35. what makes them think the US military spend money on political donations?

36. Greenland is a more functional democracy than the US apparently

37. And always remember, corporations are not people.

38. All countries need to do this and limit donations from. Corporations

39. Good. Now ban Fox News and MAGA hats and merch
