U.S. officials went door-to-door in Greenland to find anyone who wanted to be visited by the Vances. They found no one

U.S. officials went door-to-door in Greenland to find anyone who wanted to be visited by the Vances. They found no one
A local travel company in Greenland’s capital also cancelled a planned visit by Usha Vance



No one wants to talk to Usha Vance—at least no one in Greenland.

US officials have reportedly been traveling around the Danish-controlled territory looking for locals who wanted to receive a visit from the Second Lady, according to a report from Danish TV 2.

Greenlanders' response? No thanks.

Residents aren't the only ones snubbing the Second Lady ahead of her high-profile visit to the island; Tupilak Travel, which is based in Greenland's capital city, Nuuk, initially said it would host Usha Vance, but pulled out on Thursday.

A few weeks back, we had dinner at a nice restaurant in Macomb County. During our meal, the owner came up to see how things were, histor, who-knows-who, and soon we started talking politics. We made clear we were Democrats. He, the staff, and the nearby customers smiled and said they voted blue. Not one person there spoke up to support trump, and the place was packed.

Our entire problem is Dunning-Kruger. Half the electorate and their maga henchmen.

That's why they don't want to talk to us... it's a conspiracy. We need to invade Greenland to stop them attacking us!!!!

Wait... is that the logic?

Greenland would only attack us if we attacked it... this makes no sense. Shouldn't we be defending Greenland?

that residents were giving each other a "heads up" about the door-to-door visits -- and encouraged to put up a unified front. Good for them.

You know you suck when people in a place where boredom is the worst enemy won't give you the time of day.

... don't live in a vacuum. The Vice President said he'd accompany his wife on this unwelcome visit to a country his idiot boss had already said that he'd acquire by whatever means necessary. And they certainly know better than to let J.D. Vance anywhere near their living room furniture!
