OP
In that case Sarah Palin really will be able to see Russia from her house.

Silver lining? We get rid of Sarah Palin.

so long as McCain doesn't vote to make it 49-49 with Pence as the tie breaker.

and we would have given away Alaska.

They'd have to stay in Alaska a watch for Putin's head to appear over the horizon.

and his supporters will say what a great fucking deal maker he is.

(17,338 posts)8. Well, first of all
Trump would have to ask his aides to locate Alaska on a map for him. Then he'd probably say, "Yes, whatever you want Daddy Vladdy."

Glorfindel
(9,739 posts)12. Well, as long as they refund the purchase price in today's dollars.
It was purchased for $7.2 million. Today it is worth $37 billion, give or take. It would be a good way to get rid of two Repuke senators and one Repuke congressperson. They would probably enjoy playing obstructionist games with Vlad Putin and his merry band of neo-Communists.
