🤦♂️ it’s gonna be a long 4 years
Maybe someone like Luigi will help us out. Mario?
Then we just get JD Vance.
And after him, another.
It's going to take all of us.
Peach? Yoshi? Bowser? There are a lot of ride-or-dies in the crew.
BREAKING NEWS:
Waluigi & Wario arrested after shooting President-elect Trump & JD Vance!
I’m not sure how many it would take to make me sad. Probably a lot. How much is 1% of the population? That’s probable when I’ll stop laughing and suggest maybe we think about another solution. But I dunno, seeing people who allow people to die for a profit won’t ever get old.
It will only be 4 years if we're lucky.
It already feels like it has been a long month and he isn’t even in the office right now
God, I would feel so happy and safe if my neighbor joked about subjugating me under his rule. Especially when they're 8x my population and have 26x the military budget.
Americans would be better off under Canadian rule.
I’m not for imperialism, but at this point, can we just hand the US back to the UK.
Like, they tried this whole independence thing, it clearly did not work.
(obvious /s on the UK part)
obvious /s on the UK part
Obviously. The US belong to France.
Sounds like a threat to me. US should do a preliminary strike before Canada tries anything.
We (NATO countries) would have your back but damn is this a bleak thought, I do not like imagining this situation unfolding at all.
Long-shot 2025-2029 bingo card square: Canada joins the CSTO, USA rolls over the border, Russians rush in, WWIII and nuclear armageddon with a delicious maple flavor. I'd read that book, anyway, but hope it's fiction rather than history in a decade or so.
I put USA joins CSTO on my bingo card square - I see a special bond between Russia and USA, Trump have a crush on Putin.
As opposed to the whining shit pants child running the kindergarten that is America.
the heavily armed free-fire warzone nazi casino kindergarden lol
How many electoral college votes and house of representative seats would they get with their population?
Not sure this would play in his favor.
If Canada was granted several states then we would tilt the senate to the democrats.
Most likely he’d want us a slave state like Puerto Rico
But he clearly said state, I thought Puerto Rico was famously not an official state.
He clearly says lots of things he hasn’t thought out, understand or is going to go back on. He’s a liar.
Oh yeah, I’m not expecting logical consistency, more like just seeing what the implication is via a thought experiment.
And Trump is the mayor of the state of Denial.
Mayor of North-Mexico
Big words from the button holding up Canada's pants
Time to make Shoresy the US ambassador. I'd love to see what he'd say about melania
Given the definition of 'state', isn't that actually correct, even if misleading to the modern ear?
Would we keep our health care or, even less likely but better, extend the healthcare to the US?
If it’s the second one, the answer is still no but I would love to help our American peeps in theory.
Edit:
Also, since the US cares more about a state’s land than population, how many seats do we get?

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. 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.
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.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
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.
