Donald Trump has apparently recently expressed interest in purchasing Greenland with "varying degrees of seriousness," according to the Wall Street Journal. 

Yes, you read that correctly - Greenland, the massive autonomous Danish territory northeast of Canada with a population of just 56,000. 

(And not to mention, "abundant resources.")

Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on your personal take on the situation), Greenland has stated that they are absolutely not for sale. 

This of course hasn't stopped memers and Twitter-dwellers alike from mocking the absurd proposal! We just hope that Trump is aware that Greenland is, in fact, not very green...

We believe congratulations are in order. We've all officially made it over the hump to Thursday, and that deserves celebration in the form of these procrastination-fueling and boredom-destroying memes. You're welcome.

CNN news anchor Chris Cuomo is being criticized after a video surfaced of him threatening someone with violence for calling him "Fredo." 

"Fredo" is an insult for an Italian person meaning "weak brother," and refers to the character Fredo Corleone from The Godfather.

The criticism came after the video was published, when Cuomo asserted that the word "Fredo" is comparable to the N-word for Italian-Americans. Many Italian-Americans themselves were left highly confused by the assertion, and people on both sides of the political spectrum, including Donald Trump, had no shortage of criticism for him.

As we're all aware, using an insult based on one's ethnicity is never okay, but we think Cuomo may have gone a little too far in comparing the word "Fredo" to the N-word. 

Scroll down to see some of the internet's various spicy memes and reactions to the incident!

Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in his cell on Saturday morning, allegedly by suicide. While the media announced that the sex offender and financier had hung himself, the internet is not as convinced. Most people share the sentiment that he was in fact killed by someone with a whole lot of power. Here are the best conspiracy theory memes that play largely on Epstein's connections with the Clinton and Trump administration, the Clinton body count, and the accusations that many more people were involved in the wealthy man's sex trafficking operation. You don't need to drink the conspiracy theory Kool-Aid to find these memes entertaining, so make up your minds for yourselves.

We've already recently covered this topic, but honestly the memes have been so good that we felt like we had to bring you even more of them.

We certainly don't want to get too deep into the politics of exactly what causes gun violence in America in light of recent tragedies, but one thing seems to be certain here: both gamers and non-gamers alike on both sides of the political spectrum are coming together to reject the idea that video games are what cause it.

So here are 17 brand new, freshly baked memes that roast the (lack of) logic that video games are the violent culprit!

Want to feel like absolute shit about love in a digital world? Well, cartoonist Tommy Siegel has some cartoons for you! He's taken Necco's (RIP) classic conversation hearts and put a seriously dark spin on the Valentine's confection. Instead of cutesy messages, he uses the hearts as to convey some seriously depression truths about dating, relationships, and marriage. And somehow, we can't get enough of his dark work. If you like what you see here, give the dude a follow on Instagram. He deserves it. 

Man, the 2020 presidential race has barely kicked off and we're already seeing loads of meme-able material from it. 

This time it's Joe Biden, who made a decent-sized mistake during last night's second democratic debate when he told supporters to "go to Joe30330." 

Of course, what he meant to say was text "Joe" to 30330 and even though we're pretty sure most people knew what he meant to say, that hasn't stopped the internet from roasting poor ol' Joe for not quite understanding how technology and social media work!

Thank God for The Onion and other brilliant satirical publications like it. While their headlines are certainly always hilarious, the icing on the cake is always those who take the bait and believe every word. Do we feel moderately bad for people who fall for the satire? Sure, but we also appreciate the hell out of them for providing us with endless entertainment!

Are you sick and tired of your typical run-of-the-mill 2020 presidential candidates? If so, then Ace Watkins might just be your man. He's campaigned himself as being America's first gamer president, and has vowed to represent one of America's "most misunderstood political demographics." He's even collected more Twitter followers in one week than democratic candidate John Delaney. 

We're sad to report that "Ace Watkins" actually started out as a fake presidential campaign, but who knows, maybe he'll run for real if he gets enough serious support? We'll keep our fingers crossed and our eyes peeled for more incoming memes and tweets!

Presidential candidate, author and "spiritual guru" Marianne Williamson has been receiving a lot of attention since her first democratic debate. Her hippie-ish sensibilities and belief in harnessing the power of love have done more than make her one of the most memeable candidates. fter According to Google Trends, Williamson secured the rank of top searched candidate during last night's second Democratic debate. It would seem the crystal-lover really is making some waves - while her fans are making a sh*t ton of memes. We're not sure we buy this "orb" stuff, but damn, the memes are funny as hell. 

Alright, well this might be the most bizarre meme trend of the year so far, we think. It all started when Redditor Zeus1027 posted a photo of a political poster put up by the Conservative Party in the UK. The poster, which appears to be located on some sort of public transit, reads, "We plan to cut all homeless people in half by 2025."

Of course, the /r/DankMemes community immediately jumped on the opportunity to mock the poster in typical memer fashion. 

While we're pretty sure you can assume what the Tories meant to say with this message, this move still comes across as a pretty severe blunder on their part! We think they should probably invest in someone to edit their posters a little more carefully...

Looks like these Kevin Spacey memes aren't going away anytime soon.

It's probably really flattering to get a work of art created in your name, but poor Melania Trump likely isn't feeling that way right now; the First Lady had a wooden statue erected in her hometown of Sevnica, Slovenia and let's just say it looks...interesting. So interesting, in fact, that the internet has been having a field day in the roasting department and we can't say we really blame them!

This photoshopped pic of former president Obama awarding himself a medal was inspired by an awards ceremony in 2016 where 21 individuals were awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Obama himself. Later on a satirical news site published a photoshopped pic from the event entitled "Obama Awards Himself Greatest President Ever Medal During Farewell." We're all for the political memes!
