And I will not relent upon my statements of fact that Trump is an asshole, rapist, pedophile, fascist, lying, narcissistic cuck until he is impeached or dies. See how likely it is for me to stop saying these things?
Edit: forgot rapist, so hard to remember everything he's so shitty
NEVER stop saying those things. Make sure history does not forget what he was.
Who ever would have guessed that a serial rapist wouldn't take, "No", for an answer?
Yeah he's not considering consent of people in other countries at all.
If he invades Canada we’ll make Vietnam look like a cakewalk.
We look like you. We speak your language. We consume your media. You’re going to fight an enemy who looks, acts, and is just as technologically advanced as you. Fighting insurgents who had nothing in common with you was already challenging enough, now imagine not knowing who is who
I've been posting this in a couple places - but it's not Vietnam, right? It's Ireland and the Troubles. Only - on a scale that makes the Troubles look like a block party. And I say that aware that the Troubles was a decades long conflict that piled bodies sky-fucking-high and never truly healed. It wasn't solved by a U2 song.
Alternatively its another Afghanistan only when you accidentally blow up a hospital full of locals instead of the enemy combatants you thought they were you're actually blowing up your own people, in your own hospital in your own house.
There are also like 1 million of us within their borders.
Other than the consequences that would happen as a result, it'd be hilarious if Canada ended up doing a, I think we call them, "preemptive targeted use of force against specific individuals determined to pose an active threat to national security".
How fucked is it if another country, historically our closest ally, assassinated our president so many of us would just be like "yeah, makes sense".
I just don't understand how he got caught on this thought? I'm no foreign policy wonk, but I just don't get it. Why would you want to start random beef with the neighbor. It's like a weird parody that I don't know enough about to understand.
Is he just Putining?
Some believe it’s a distraction. A Flood the Zone tactic.
I hope for everyone’s sake- this is true. If Trump wants to destroy America, so be it. One could argue we deserve it. But this doesn’t need to involve Canada in any capacity.
Trump needs to be removed for this and it's not an exaggeration to say there are at least a dozen other unconstitutional things he's done that he should be removed for as well. But the GOP-held congress doesn't care about the constitution either so this is only going to continue to get worse.
The US' most important good is intellectual property. They rely on other countries to protect their IP. If you no longer rely on them for trade because theyre tariffing the shit out of your country, you don't need to appease them anymore by protecting their IP.
Up until the early 90s, the Dominican Republic had a local cable TV network. This network pretty much had a monopoly, it was dirt cheap and included all the premium American satellite/cable TV networks. You name it, it had it.
Obviously this company never bothered to license any of it and just sent some dude to Miami from time to time to renew his individual satellite package so it could be pipe to an entire country. Neat "business model", not local laws where broken and the US companies couldn't do much about it.
The fun came to a stop when the US threatened to revoke free-trade deals it had done with the State and pressured the Government to clamp down on the cable TV provider.
I wonder if Canada can make its own streaming service to Canadians which provides all of the content from Netflix, prime, Disney, etc in one location for cheap because all the content is pirated by the government itself.
Why does Trump want the US to be great again? 🤔 It seems like the US can’t be great and humble anymore under the Trump administration. 🤷♂️
"Make America Great Again" has always been a slogan for making rich Americans richer while poor Americans are distracted by the culture war.
This might sound weird, but I honestly think there's now an opportunity for the Left to take the slogan as their own. There could be blue MAGA hats instead of red ones, acknowledging that America has truly fallen and needs to be resuscitated.
He needs to find a more productive obsession that's much less likely to lead to a war, like building model boats.
I miss the good old days when he just obsessed about fucking his daughter instead of my country.
Trump is a moron who is courting WW3. Also water is wet. NEWS AT 11!
Id be down to let Canada and Greenland into the EU. Give Trump a big fuck you.
What I read in the article was this. There is going to be a war between the US and Canada. Trump didn't say that, Trudeau said it.
All I see Trump saying, is that the US does not need items from Canada, if the US is losing money in the process. He also said it would be great if Canada joined the US.
In case people don’t realize. Canada shares an Arctic border with Russia and Russia is trying to take Canadian land and regularly crosses into our waters to steal resources. It is of benefit to Putin for Canada to be weak and distracted by Trump, since Trump works for Putin, it’s very clear why he’s doing this
Canada, this guy ain't gonna learn until you burn it down a second time.
We won’t stop fighting against Trump until he is absorbed into the ground.
