Absolutely unhinged. Nobody would have believed this “tweet” even 1 year ago, and now this is the new normal
1 year ago? How about 5 years ago?
Honestly, even then. 45 was always unhinged but 47 has really lowered the bar more than was ever thought possible.
I mean if he was unhinged but was making your lifes better I would understand but the guy doesn’t even care and it’s making your lifes worst. I’m I crazy to think that american are crazy to vote for him, or is he making your lifes better in any way?
Not a critic, just really want to understand
He is making the lives of women and minorities worse; that’s what Republicans voted for
It’s like he’s campaigning for the liberals. Almost no one in Canada wants to hear this and I bet they will vote against whatever they see as aligned with this.
It’s like a truck carrying punctuation got into an accident with a train carrying words. This is so hard to read.
I don’t often run across a piece of pure poetry in the wild. Well said!
Lmao I think that’s genuinely the best summary of his writing style that I’ve ever seen
Thank you for that.
I encourage Canadian conservative voters to write in Trump’s name on their ballot
LOL some smooth brains no doubt will. Will be counted as spoiled ballots.
Elect someone who isn’t even running, a very likely outcome
Poilievre alrady said he wants to align more with Trump’s America. He’ll absolutely sell us out.
Man, the dumbest thing about this nonsense is repeating that Canada will only be one state. It’s already broken into provinces, dickhead, at least make a better offer than two senators.
Fuck that it will not and should not happen .so fuck off even thinking about it
#1 Ontario being the population of Pennsylvania
#9 New foundland being the population of Wyoming
#10 Prince Edward Island only has 150k, could lump in 150k from northern territories
20 senators for 40m, 5.0E-7 senators per person
200 senators for 340m, 5.88E-7 senators per person
It seems pretty fair
I’d love to have the Canadian conservatives in the USA. It would hopefully calm down the magat zombies we have in office.
What? They eat horse paste just like the ones down south. We have maple maga here that fly confederate flags et al. All that would do is increase their numbers, not make them less fascist.
It’s becoming more apparent that the end of late stage capitalism is fascism.
Let’s be honest here it’s going to be just a territory for quite a while.
Trump: “NO BORDER!”
Fuck you and die, cheeto
What is it with Trump and always “being subsidized by us” and “take away from us” while the US has trillions of debt in other countries? 300 billions to my home country alone, which doesn’t even compare to some other countries.
He doesn’t understand what “trade deficit” means.
He trusts that his followers don’t, anyway. Based on some arguments I’ve seen online, he’s right about that.
I mean, he always calls trade deficit a “subsidy”, and has since 2016. I honestly don’t think he understand what that concept means, he’s not that subtle with manipulation.
He is incapable of understanding mutual trade and cooperation. To him every human interaction must have a winner and a loser. So if Canada is benefiting from trade with the US in his mind it must be at America’s expense. It’s a disturbingly simple view of trade and cooperation, and one that makes actual good faith discourse with the US near impossible.
Because Trump is a troll. He doesn’t give a shit if what he says or does is correct. Trying to make sense of the schmuck gives me a headache.
He sounds exactly how Kanye would ramble and its fucking scary <~<;
Am I correct in the assessment that his recent antics are because being a nazi no longermakes him special?
Astonishing it’s not satire
I’m still trying to figure out how everything in the last 15ish years isn’t. Why do we have to be in the dumbest timeline.
This is actually one of the most interesting and entertaining timelines.
There was only supposed to be enough source data to make it to 2012- and that was originally a very generous buffer, since a fraction of a percent of Earths last more than 10 years after both networked computers and nuclear weapons have been invented in-simulation.
So, the operators decided not to pull the plug and just let this one run its course.
As it extrapolates history farther and farther outside of the initial parameters, the simulator is cannibalizing itself with feedback and undergoing model collapse.
America has not been subsidizing Canada. Canada has been subsidizing the US.
That’s correct. I want an immediate end to Canada selling discounted oil, gas and hydroelectricity to the US.
Don’t forget Lumber too
About every country forced to hoard USD for business purposes subsidises the US.
Hypothetically, if canada becomes a state, would they flip our house of representatives blue? I guess more likely they’ll become like puerto rico or guam or something.
Population wise it’s like adding another California
But I thought we were pretending to care about states, not individual voters.
I guess more likely they’ll become like puerto rico or guam or something.
This is what you need to keep foremost in your mind. There is no conceivable reality in which the US conquers (yes conquers, they can call it annexation all they want but at the end of the day Trump wants a conquest to his name) Canada and gives any semblance of voting or personal rights to Canadians. Hell, even if Canada was somehow persuaded into voluntarily joining the US, this regime would never, ever honour any kind of arrangement that gave Canadians a fair deal. They are fascist bullies, as close to actual evil as we’ve seen in North America in a very long time, and they have no interest in any sort of fair bargain.
I don’t think they are getting statehood right away
They’d annex the land, and then deport all the Canadian foreigners that illegally immigrated in the US.
