The fact that a war isn't out of the question is exactly why we puff ourselves up and look as intimidating as we possibly can. Trump is not simply going to ignore a free meal of all our national resources, but he might give it a pass if he realises we'll bite back.
Just because you have compassion doesn't mean you have to be a pushover. If that's the only language she'll understand, then you gotta do what you gotta do.
Just remember that compassion for people is the opposite of the hatred that the republican party represents, but sometimes that compassion demands hard decisions.
Cowering from bullies doesn't make them ignore you. It just reinforces that you're an easy target. You stand ground, and be ready to pop em in the face if they come for you.
You might even get the worst of it, but from then on they know they can't come for you without having to pay for it.
LCBO's Ontario protectionism has been a PITA. We used to at least be able to pick up some Quebec beers like Maudite and Fin du Monde, if not some of the smaller breweries. Would be nice to see a reversal of that.
Ahh good, let's put a bunch of electric heaters into the ocean. This sounds like it'll help with the ongoing crisis in ocean temperature rise, and certainly won't have any unforseen consequences.
So much this. This is why I have some amount of sympathy for the R's voter base. There is a systemic war on education going on, and to some degree these people are victims of this class war being waged by the ultra-rich.
They've been fooled to act against their own best interests, and I refuse to hold the sheep more responsible than the wolves who've tricked them.
As much as I enjoy the narrative of the Nazi fuckhead backing out of a fight he tried to pick, it does also sound plausible that the media blew a dumb joke way out of proportion.
I know, it's a bit counterintuitive. But look at the Cheeto as a prime example. He's one of the biggest cheapskates around. He'll try and get out of paying for anything he possibly can. It's all slash and burn tactics with these people. It's all they know. They don't care if their bodyguards are from temu, because they're largely just for show.
I think muskrat chickened out. Zuck actually does sports and stuff in his spare time, where as elon does ketamine. Most pictures of Zuck you can see the goggle tan from wherever he's been skiing/boarding. He's moderately athletic. Elon would get absolutely demolished.
