Trump's rhetoric toward Canada has appeared to soften in recent weeks, but the White House says his position remains that 'Canadians would benefit' from being a U.S. state.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 💀
