As a US citizen and Canada/Ukraine/EU/democracy supporter; I pray someone or some group finally takes off all kiddie gloves and gives trump (and thereby me and others in the country as collateral) a divine smackdown to finally make that fucker or at least those close to him realize the world and history won’t stand for his/their fascist putin titty-sucking antics.
Just gonna pedantically mention that “kid gloves” aren’t something like mini boxing gloves for kids and tiny-handed presidents, they’re adult dress gloves made from supple kid (goat) leather. One would remove them for bareknuckle brawling. So “kiddie” doesn’t quite work. Obviously this is an informal forum, but it’s something to know in case you are talking about something more serious, like having to handle a difficult client with kid gloves; i.e. circumspectly.
“That fucker’s fascist Putin-titty-sucking antics” is spot-on. Appropriate for any situation, imho.
Meanwhile, our ACTUAL PM is saying things like:
“The most important thing right now — more important than anything else — is for Canadians to remain united. This is a time for us to pull together.”
and
Tariffs are the USA’s plan to “see a complete collapse of the Canadian economy. Because that will make it easier to annex us, is the second part of his thought. That is never going to happen. Canada will never be the 51st state”
But that doesn’t make good accelerationist bluster for headlines, so all the Yankee media will ignore it in favour of Canadaman Dougie.
I’ll believe it when I see it. Dougie is good at bluster but will he actually follow through?
I’m still waiting to hear hear about the Starlink contract he threatened to tear up.
Starlink is the only way my parents can access the internet which really sucks.
They don’t need a government contract for that though
Try a GSM router? (internet from the mobile phone network)
Sorry you’re stuck with few options, but no internet is better than supporting Nazis.
Somehow I doubt Trump would give a damn about MN, NY, and MI (although he won MI, Detroit would be competition to his buddy) and would just say it was the fault of blue state policies.
A lot of Trumps support comes out of rural MI and WI, and they talk to each other.
Part of me hopes the reason he doesn’t care is because he can’t run for election again.
And, somehow, Biden, Hillary and Obama’s fault.
Americans will be rethinking sanctions on other countries when they see who is actually suffering.
Unfortunately it likely won’t be the billionaires suffering, so I’m not sure how much meaningful rethinking will be going on unless pressure on them is relentless.
These tariffs are already wildly unpopular in the US, the problem is that our government has been fully captured by the nazis and there’s not much that can be done about it. Most people I know sre hoping that the international response will be harsh enough to spur meaningful change, though nobody really thinks that will happen.
