Rep. Earl L. “Buddy” Carter (R-GA) released the following statement today after introducing a bill authorizing President Trump to acquire Greenland and renaming it Red, White, and Blueland:

“America is back and will soon be bigger than ever with the addition of Red, White, and Blueland. President Trump has correctly identified the purchase of what is now Greenland as a national security priority, and we will proudly welcome its people to join the freest nation to ever exist when our Negotiator-in-Chief inks this monumental deal.”

    My partner and I moved into an eco village and are going to buy chickens this summer. Blew my mind to learn a live chicken only costs $75

      I can buy chicks from the tractor supply a half mile from my house for $4.99 a piece. They have multiple breeds there too. Been contemplating that investment for awhile…

        You should go for it, raising chickens is surprisingly easy and they are a hoot to watch frolicking around your yard.

        However, fuck Tractor Supply for rolling back their DEI initiatives Search for local hatcheries to buy your chicks. Last spring, I bought ten pre-sexed female chicks (which, admittedly comes with the ethical concerns of what they do with the males) of random “designer” breeds for only $95 including shipping.

            It is so hard when you lose one of the flock, and foxes, weasels, raccoons, whatever predators are in your area can smell them for miles and will snatch one eventually. But, for all the sobbing beside a pile of feathers I have done, I still wholeheartedly recommend that you go for it!

        I neglected to mention in the comment that the chickens I’m looking at are of the Ayam Cemani breed, which are pure black, including their organs. They’re pretty coveted, so I was surprised that even those are very cheap!

      I saw someone on the German equivalent to Craigslist selling a rooster for 5€ today. Said they had three home grown roosters and that’s too many. It’s a full grown rooster. I am both surprised that this is so cheap and that it’s legal to just sell roosters like a second hand iPod.
