Usha Vance and child to go on taxpayer funded trip to Greenland

[Anonymous]

Bringing a kid to participate in a modern-day anschluss seems like bad parenting to me. But what do I know? Maybe they're just excited to have a front-row seat to history. /s

Why are they going when they have not been invited and are not welcome?

You don’t survive in an environment like Greenland by being a shrinking violet or a snowflake (pun intended). This is very much not Bethesda. And they don’t seem scared, although this probably does make them less likely to break from Denmark. They seem angry. Which is appropriate.

Keep the kid away from this mess. Adults get what they get. They know going in they aren’t wanted.

“Mommy, why do they hate us so much? Are they going to hurt us?”

Good question, kid. Good question. Usha is a sh*t parent. There, I said it.

$h*t parent= $h*t human being married to another just like her.

Because Lady MacBeth's little boy wants to see a dog race.

I can almost guarantee you that no kid the age of Usha's is sitting there wanting to see a dog race specifically in Greenland. This is all about the Trump agenda to take it over and attempting to put a friendly face on an unwelcome trip by Americans with an eye to take it over.

And anyway they just had the Iditarod in Alaska!

“Because we’re trying to take over their homes and their lives against their will. What is the thing to do if a bully tries to hurt you and destroy your home?”

Because the IS has a military base there (space force!)

I do not care about first and second family member travel. It’s always happened and it should be diplomatic. I do care about her going at all in this specific case, and certainly while dragging a kid, to a country that is telling he not to come because it’s “highly aggressive”. That is not diplomacy. She shouldn’t go. And since there will be strong Anti-American protests in Greenland, she shouldn’t take the kid. That’s just decent parenting.

Was she ordered to go or is she fine with this? Who makes these kinds of decisions about where political spouses travel and what they do? Could she refuse this trip?

Real talk though: wouldn't you take any possible opportunity to get away from JD? I would...

She's shady af, and problematic in her own right, but who wants to hang out with him if it's not absolutely mandatory?

Okay fine. Get away as often as possible. But why intentionally drag a young child through this political storm?

Because "they were rude to my wife" doesn't carry the same weight as "they scared my child". MAGA is totally fine with being rude, and worse, to brown women.

Oh agreed. Guarantee this is how the conversation went:

Usha: "Hey Buddy, do you wanna see a dog race with Mommy?"
Kid: "No thank you."
JD: "You get a couple days off from school."
Kid: "Um...okay?"

I am not wading into Usha's personal political opinions (she's a friend of friends, and I'm sure has many inner conflicts). But I don't think she had much of a choice there. It was: "Let's have Usha there, with a kid!" and then "Brilliant plan! Usha, you have to do this, it will cut down on accusations of forced conquest".

How can a grown, competent woman have no choice about what she and her child do?

Is she in some Mormon cult?

And what kind of professional man would send his wife and child to front a highly unpopular diplomatic mission?

Yeah, so much for supporting America tourism. And Canada also has dogracing. Although with Trump's 51st state garbage, I'm sure Usha wouldn't be very welcome there either.

Exactly!! And after their ski trip, they know exactly how they will be treated (multipled).

Why would you put your child in this position?? It is so twisted. Children are just props to this whole administration.

(Except Barron of course…)

Um, many of them want to join the U.S.

I know that’s hard for you to believe, as much as you viscerally HATE the USA (just admit it; you hate your own country).

Did you not see the previously posted survey results?

Oh yeah, maggots don’t do facts.

They retweet propaganda.

They should. Why would they welcome government officials from a country threatening to overtake them??

NSA is there to visit a US military base. If he’s denied entry, Trump might use force. And it would be at least partly justified. The NSA has at least a plausible excuse— visiting a military base Greenland allows to be there. Usha’s job is to “pretty it up”.

This.

Very sexist use of a highly educated female. Sounds like a mannequin could step in.

Isn’t visiting a foreign country without their authorization considered an invasion in Trump’s playbook?

More disrespect for the people of Greenland and their autonomy.
