He also wants a visible reproductive organ of satisfactory size. We can all dream.

That website the HHS put up the other day to snitch on US healthcare providers for trans folks had every single Canadian province in the list as well 💀

It's also proof they don't mean to have real elections again. "If" that happened and elections were fair, the republicans would never win the house or the electoral college ever again.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

All of Canada would get two senators, not very many Reps either. And no tax paid health care.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

They'd have the same number as California. Imagine adding a second, more liberal, California. Looking it up they are both about 40 million people.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago

I'm sure Canada would just become a territory and wouldn't have voting rights.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago

He can wish in one hand and shit in the other. See which one fills up first.

Rapist doesn't understand that "No means no".

He will be able to take us easily, but the cost of holding us will be VERY high.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

I heard about a supposed plan that sounds a lot like a Vietnamese guerilla campaign.

And I approve.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

Again? Just trying to divert attention away from all the other actually horrible shit he’s doing.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

I don't fully understand this, beyond the obvious wackyness. The notion that America could take Canada is slightly insane.

I don't doubt that they could take the cities in the south, but Trump doesn't want those, he wants the mineral rich north, that's covered in snow and ice.

I suspect that Canadians would just end up fighting quite a gruelling guerilla war in the north, whilst allowing Americans to struggle. Until Trump calls it quits.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The guerrilla resistance would largely be in our cities down south, as that's where most Canadians live.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

I have to think some of that resistance would be in American cities too.

There are a lot of Canadians in the states and there are precious few people who are willing to tolerate an invasion of Canada.

I think this is all just part of his distraction and the fire hose of lies. It just sucks up oxygen from the room helps to distract and confuse people from the many many many many many many crazy things The fascists are doing right now.

He has dementia

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Fuck. If he really said that, we are DEEEEEP into Idiocracy.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Idiocracy without the President who cares about fixing the problems.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago

Yeah President Camacho would be an upgrade over what we have now.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'm not sure how Canada feels about a foreign legion, but I'm willing to volunteer.

Note: this applies to any country the Orange Jackass threatens to invade.

Ukraine has one if you feel like skipping to the secret final boss ending.

Trump also wants to date his daughter.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago (2 children)

A daughter who, although a terrible terrible human being in her own right, at least had the brains to stay well away from his bullshit and keep her head down this time around.

Don't know where she is, and I don't particularly wish her well or wish her ill. I'm just glad we don't have to hear about her and I'm glad that wherever she is, she's staying out of her father's shit show this time. It's better for us, and I'm sure it's better for her mental health.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 days ago

Oh no, she's made a few posts online supporting him and his policies. She is not in the lime light, but she is still supporting all this.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

I don’t understand why any family member of a controversial public figure (good or bad) would want to insert themselves into that space. Like, being the kid of Trump or Musk doesn’t give you special insight about society or foreign affairs, so why would you comment on them like some kind of authority? And even if you thought you had some valuable insight, wouldn’t you want it to stand on its own merits? Tom Fischbach is a great example of that, IMO.

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

It’s because they grow up in an environment where they never learn the word “no”, money solves every problem, etc. Because they are raised in such a sheltered way they learn to believe that they’re never wrong about anything, so they are natural born leaders.

The four years of the first Trump administration was likely a rude awakening for people like Ivanka.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

And by date, I assume you mean fuck

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

We can assume yes. But his actual words were date. Still creepy AF.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Remember that time the White House burned down? The US tried to take Canada then. They and their allies the British burned it to the ground. The US shouldn't have declared war on Britain. We did and got our asses kicked.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 days ago (3 children)

What are they distracting us from this time?...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Trying to annex Canada isn't enough for you?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago

His point is they only bring up the impractical annexation whenever they're trying to distract from some war crime or something. Same with Gulf of Mexico, blah blah blah.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago

That all of these "possessors of funds" are not the sources of wealth they pretend to be. Rather, they are sinks of such, ever draining, filled only by our fears.

We are the sources of every means of production in existence. Yet we stand on the selling block, buying our way to slavery.

HOW IS THIS NOT THE ONION???

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

The Onion is too busy reporting on his crimes against humanity to focus on his warmongering right now.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 days ago

He can shit in one hand and wish in the other and see which one fills up first.
