Even if it does recover like you say, you’re cool with gifting money to an actual nazi who’s dismantling the US government?

Agreed. I don’t think Americans appreciate how much the rest of the world hates (and has hated) American defaultism and exceptionalism.

I would love to see the USA balkanize into smaller countries

What’s that? Oh he just decided that he’s pulling the US into the Commonwealth now. The most stablest genius

Yeah, I really wish the Federal Conservatives would implode as a party already. They’re making our politics so toxic that they make the Ontario Conservatives/Ford look good.

What I want more than anything right now is for our politicians to work together to solve the ridiculous amount of issues at hand rather than flinging shit.

Yeah, like no doubt it’s 1000x worse if you’re visibly trans but fuck, they’re detaining anyone and everyone. Nobody should go to the USA right now

if ever there was a reason for billionaires not to exist…

What even happens in the case where a PM fails a background/security check? It’d obviously be a national security risk but I don’t think there’s any precedent for it…

At least it’s looking like none of this will matter though looking at the polls (obv still need to keep our guard up though)

All I can think is that he’d have expected both backlash and the Streisand effect by not allowing reporters, so how bad exactly must the situation that he’s hiding be?

This mixed with the refusal to get a security clearance is mega sketchy

lol what could they possibly expect him to do that necessitates having multiple men with rifles?

I think you’re going to need to burn the whole system down before you guys can just rely on voting to get out of this mess

I don’t know if I trust the people either when Trump has a nearly 50% approval rating

I wonder if making sure your phone is dead would work? Like assuming they’re choosing you randomly to search, they might not want to go through the effort of getting you to charge your phone to search your phone. I’ve never dealt with this situation at all though so I don’t really know.

Freedom of speech means whatever they want it to in that moment it seems

My company isn’t organizing any off-sites to the US for my remote first company anymore because of this shit lol. I think partially because nobody outside of the US would even go

Yeah my Dad who spends all his time on Facebook is already bashing him with every point brought up in that dumb attack ad…

Yeah, I’m not really sure Americans would shut down their country at this point. For one thing, they seem incapable of protesting. More importantly though, Republicans seem fully sold on an invasion and even some Democrats seem rather excited to use us to “move their politics left” (as if we’d get the right to vote)

It’s weirder than that tbh. It’s almost ARG-like since there doesn’t actually seem to be a known scam behind it. Most of the links “she” sends either don’t work or are just empty chat rooms like on Discord that seem to change every once and a while

At first I did believe that if Trump ordered an invasion of Canada, Americans would be so against it that it wouldn’t happen but now I’m not so sure. MAGAts have gone from not thinking about Canada at all to thinking we’re personally fucking over each and every one of them. It’s insane, like it’s all happened within a month.

Democrats are better but a lot of them just wave off the idea of invasion as “a Trump distraction”. Some (CNN…) just laugh about it and say we’d make them more progressive

That’ll solve gun violence

As much as Americans refuse to believe it, news does occur outside of the USA as well.
