It's just an old person yelling at his tv (phone).
There is no weight behind it, even if he is the President. His job is to sign here and smile for the cameras. Nothing more. He doesn't make policy or have original thoughts, he just signs it.
The only thing that makes sense is for Trump and Musk to take a rocket car to Mars.
Fuck you Trump
I recently met two Albertans out here in South Korea at a bar. They were on the other side of the bar from me, and when they walked past, I greeted them as an Ontarian and offered to shake their hands. They both declined the handshake and proudly announced, "We're not on the same team."
That was a few weeks ago. I'm still disturbed by it. I knew Albertans had a reputation because of the politicking there. But I hadn't realized it would be so blatant. That same night, two South Africans happily asked me my thoughts on Trump, and I was perhaps too honest in my first statement, and they grew upset with me and insisted he was good for Canadians and South Africans, both.
I left the bar not long after. Haven't seen those four come back, so there is a bright side to the story, at least.
They refused to shake your hand because you are from Ontario? What the heck.... they need mental health care.
Its a low taxed province, which could mean lower services. Oil fields, and trucks. It attracts the type of person that cares about themselves rather than society. (I'm generalizing of course, there are good people there also) There's a reason we call it Northern Texas, and it's just not because of the cowboy hats.
That's just Alberta....
Angry that we're not freezing in the dark.
Lol they should fucking stay in South Korea. They are definately in the minority, it's a larger minority then most of Canadas opinion but goddamn they are still a minority. Should have told them to never fucking come back
No, I don't want them here, haha. This is my future home, I don't need that nonsense here! It's also my friend's bar, so I don't particularly want to ruin business for him. But I did talk with him about it later.
Stop both siding this nonsense.
You should look up what that word means
ADDITIONAL 25% Tariff, to 50%, on all STEEL and ALUMINUM COMING INTO THE UNITED STATES FROM CANADA,
My company:
Has two shops 1 in Canada and 1 in the US; US shop now solely handles all American related jobs while Canada handles any job globally, besides the US.
Real smart play here ol trump
Trump became President and I decided to start the process to get guns.
Conservative Americans in shambles reading this as they find out that we do Infact own guns in Canada and are proud to own them. We just don't get all fucking pussy about not being able to own fully automatic ones with 50 round magazines lol.
Liberal American here, for a long time conservatives here have miscalculated how well armed many of us are. The anti-gun crowd (not to be confused with gun control) are just the vocal minority on the issue, giving the impression that liberals hate guns. My gun safe begs to differ, and I own more guns than any conservative I know.
He's gonna fucking invade, isn't he?
The USA needs congressional approval to officially go to war against another sovereign nation. Like with Afghanistan or Iraq. BUT Republicans control the house and Senate, and sure if they're that fucking delusional they could vote for it. But with that being said, it would 100% rip America apart and they fucking deserve it. Not only would we not put up with that shit and I would gladly shoot any foreign soldier on our land, it would mean the Russians getting exactly what they wanted.
Americans reading this, GET YOUR FUCKING SHIT TOGETHER or you or your friends are going to start fucking dying on our fucking land for no other reason than a fat orange fucks vanity. You will be ostracized by the developed world and I for one will never fucking forgive you.
They voted for this. So I don't have any sympathy for them saying Trump doesn't represent them. He does. They go on and on about how they're the greatest country in the world, and how their government is 'of the people, by the people, for the people'. They're more responsible for the actions of their government than any other nation is for theirs.
And the American mentality is that their pride will never let them admit if they're wrong. So even though they may know that talks of annexation and taking away our country are beyond offensive, they can't say it. They have to say that it's for some greater good that no one else can see, even if they know it's BS. But the problem is, short of NATO putting troops in our country to help fight off an invasion, I don't know what would stop the US from just trying to take whatever they want in the name of 'freedom'. And the funny thing is, on the Cato Human Freedom Index, which measures a person's person, economic and civil freedom, we rank higher than the US. We're #11, and the US, the leader of the free world, is #17. So how are they the 'freest nation' in the world? Why would we downgrade ourselves by joining them? We wouldn't. No one would. Unless it was by force.
I've said this before, and I meant it then; the mentality of the US is that they're basically a r***** telling their victim that if they lay down and let them (USA) have their way with them, they won't get hurt. THAT's the US right now. They're our neighbours, but they're NOT our friends. And they probably never were. They just finished hurting other nations, and decided to turn their attention to us.
Yup. But there is zero fucking chance we would let them take this place willy nilly. I will die before I yield any land to these facist thugs. As our countrymen and women fought before us, we will remain the true north strong and free, or we will DIE to defend it. The dreams of this great country of ours will never die
Previous presidents have famously committed acts of war without the consent of congress. Including assassinations and drone strikes on civilians.
Oh 100%. But for a full fledged WAR? It takes a lot of congressional and public will power to do that. Just saying that for them to go ahead and declare war so easily with zero public insight, would cause them to rip themselves apart
The US has not "declared war" in decades. That's early 20th century talk.
No, heβs not. Even if he could get congressional approval, which is highly unlikely, the military would have to comply with the order. The likelihood of that happening, I canβt even fathom.
Heβs just a fat ass blow hard making noise.
