I think the reason the Reflecting Pool is getting so much reaction is because it’s a tangible metaphor for all the failures of this regime. It’s a physical manifestation of toxicity, vanity, cost, error, and assigning blame. — Allison Gill

Endless Shrimp meets Endless War

Endless Shrimp experience and the gifts of nature motivate GOPhascists and their attempts to seize Greenland. Aquaculture shouldn’t be the excuse to invade a sovereign country. The reality is Trump’s crony capitalists including his former bodyguard want control over rare earth mineral profits. Red Lobster endless shrimp is more of the same Trumpist nonsense to divert your attention. The reflecting pool is not about “beautification” since we know why Trump owned teen beauty pageants.

Reflecting pools are now more about costly maintenance than the idea of their 1920s Federal Capital opulence. Now the Lincoln memorial pool is chain-link fenced off because of Vandals and / or Visigoths.

Tom Dans told The New Yorker’s Ben Taub: “My view is that the United States could take all the seafood Greenland could produce, and cut out the middleman, and keep it from China – and you could bring back all-you-can-eat shrimp at Red Lobster.”

Dans, who previously worked at the Treasury Department during Trump’s first term and served on a National Security Council task force focused on gaining control of the territory, is one of a small group of Americans the Danish government has identified as spearheading “influence operations” in Greenland, the outlet reported.

Having never set foot on the island of roughly 57,000 people, Dans insisted that the U.S. annexation of the region is a no-brainer.

“There’s nothing secret about the contours of the thing – if you study Greenland at all, you quickly arrive at the point that, you know, they’re asset rich and cash poor,” he told The New Yorker. “So, like, this is not a toughie, if you come from an investment-banking or dealmaking background, to solve.”

Greenland is famous for its cold-water shrimp (specifically the Northern shrimp, Pandalus borealis). These wild-caught prawns are a major export and a staple of the local diet, known for their firm texture, bright pink color, and sweet flavor.”

The takeaway for Fox and the Trump/Vance administration is that they need to invade Greenland for shrimp and Cuba for new property developments
