Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...

What the fuck? I know it's Donald Dump, but despite all the insanity happening since his inauguration this is the first headline that manages to surprise even me. Dude's talking about annexing Canada and Greenland on one hand, but then bows to the former UK colonial project? What?

GG Trump, I honestly did not see this one coming.

He's fucking trolling, goddamn you people believe anything

Don't even bother reporting this drivel.

The USA can join the Commonwealth by becoming a Territory of Canada. Just give us a sec while we change the rules on representation in the house of Commons.

Does he sit on the floor of the oval office getting high and sending out memos? "Man, wouldn't it be cool if we were like, you know, part of this kingdom man..."

" "I Love King Charles. Sounds good to me!" Trump wrote in response to the report." He sounds like he's been invited on a date.

He's giving positive replies to whatever dumb shit his followers post to him on mastadon. And the media is still trying to milk him for all the clicks possible. Covfefe shit all over again.

There's real shit to be worried about. Like the extra-judicial deportations, ie Mahmoud Kahlil.

He's just shitting in the punchbowl, ignore him and hell play himself out.

I don't think USians should fight this.

As pear shaped as the UK may be at the moment, it must be better off than all the nonsense in the US. Though there really is nothing in it for the Commonwealth, in any event.

Hold on, let's ask George Washington and see what he says, oh right, fuck you traitor.

Benedict Arnold at least had an understandable (if stupid) reason to flip sides. Trump's just an idiot.

I understand the plan now. America was great when it didn't exist

No taxation without representation, but in reverse.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago

No representation without taxation? Close but not quite

No representation but taxation? Yeah, that sounds better.

Also to note its kinda funny after all this time the us has been degrading in political choice (don't blame me I voted for Kodos) and voice (representation) while the common wealth nations have mostly been doing fine with more then two parties.

If Russian speaking parts of Ukraine should be ceded to Russia by Trump's opinion, English speaking parts of the USA may just as well join England again.

He's high, stupid, AND suffering from dementia.

Good lord, this is a strange timeline.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago

Seems pretty harmless. Especially if it is used to forget about threats made. What am I missing?

On the bright side This is a better choice than bending the knee to Putin

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago

He'll still bend the knee too, and will continue mumbling Putin's grundle.

The French are already asking for the statue of liberty back, so it’s only right if he does that

We have come full circle.
