      Said about anyone else, that would be an insult. In this case, it’s just a mild warning.

    Canada is a distraction. It requires almost zero effort for Trump to kick that hornets’ nest, and you get several news cycles out of the response and all the tweets from celebrities and the economists writing thesis after thesis about what a fucking stupid idea it is.

    Meanwhile, what is Trump doing? He’s selling pardons, betraying our allies, dismantling the government structures that can oppose him, and lining his own pockets with our tax dollars.

    Trump’s goal is to weaken the US by severing the relationship we’ve built with our allies. He doesn’t give a shit about acquiring Canada, but if he can use that premise as means of pissing them off, that’s what he’ll do.

    Donald Trump is a domestic enemy to the United States and its constitution.

    Because MAGA wants what’s under the ice after global warming makes it accessible, never mind the problems with that rationale.

    It’s also why they want Greenland and will fully exploit public parkland.

        Global warming won’t matter once they’ve got their robots up and running and have executed 99% of the worlds population.

      I don’t think Putin would want US to annex Canada on the basis that it would add tons of democrat votes on the basis of Canada not exactly being a MAGA paradise.

      I just think it’s Trump being dumb as per usual.

    America’s bread basket is going to shit, and as the climate warms further north locations will be suitable for farming.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
