More leaders should taunt Trump, his toddler responses will make him more unpopular.
I would've thought that would be more aimed towards his own people, as patriotism. Not necessarily a taunt. But. You know. Both are also good.
While this isn't technically US internal news, it's North American news which goes against the spirit of this sub.
Why? Because you think that in spirit Canada and the US are the same thing?
You're on thin ice right now ...
North America is part of the world
USA is also "part of the world". Despite this, US internal news are disallowed according to the rules of the subreddit. The rules of a community is not defined by its name, it's defined by the explicit rules.
If you seriously want to keep arguing this. Only us internal news is explicitly disallowed. This is not internal news, it is between two countries and is not against the spirit of this community. There is very little news that affects the entire world, if it was limited to that, this community would be very empty.
Didn't say it was against the rules. Did you read my post at all?
I did, you are saying it is against the spirit of the community, I am saying it is not. It's also clear that us internal news is not world news, hence why it is not allowed.
Canada is so tightly tied to US that it's practically the same to anyone who isn't from north America. I understand that it can be hard to accept for a yankee like you. People who want to follow world news that isn't focused on US internal news isn't going to care for NA internal news where the majority of the focus is put on US.
Rich of you to assume I'm a yank. I'm not. I'm Canadian. That's why I'm saying this is not against the spirit of the community. Canada and the us are not practically the same. Even to people outside North America. Would you say Mexico and the US are practically the same? Probably not.
Of course you're Canadian. That doesn't make you the tiniest bit biased. You know there exists thriving Canadian communities where you can read news involving your country too? Lemmy and other English speaking communities are so heavily dominated by e.g. US and Canada that the news involving these countries naturally appear in normal "general" news communities. The entire point of communities such as these is to give attention to things that yankees and wannabe yankees wouldn't ever dream to give a single shit about.
Would you say Mexico and the US are practically the same?
Does Mexico e.g. share the largest undefended border in the world with US?
Of course I'm biased, who wouldn't be. Sure, there are other communities, but it was posted here and was not removed, so I don't get why you are making a big deal out of it. Don't you dare call us wannabe yankees, you sure are great at insulting Canadians. It does not, and that does not make Canadians and États-Uniens "practically the same." Would you say the English and Scots are practically the same? They share a country.
just let it go. deterioration of North American (not US) international relations meets criteria for World News.
It would only be internal US news if Trump actually annexed Canada.
It's an alright response but I'd hope for some more Canadian made chirping. Next time he should just shout:
Eh? Give your fucking balls a tug.
Fuck you Shoresey
“Fuck you Reilly, I made your mum so wet that Trudeau deployed a 24 hour infantry unit to stack sandbags around my bed”
Shoresy 😊
My only regret is not serving my country and I think about it every time I go to war with your mom's ass
Like trump can find his balls, they're loose in Musk's mouth
I suggest he lets that one marinate!
Marinate? Or do they literally say marinade? 😆
Nah, it was late and i chose the wrong dictionary suggestion 😁
Haha alright ✨ Wouldn't be surprised if they did say marinade!
That is immature, & counter-productive:
Trump's playing a negative-sum-game, committed to crushing & destroying the world, so-long-as he gets to be "king" ruling it's destruction, glorying in his "status" & "wealth,
.. & amplifying his ideologically-motivated violence against Canada, for stupid childish "status", is something any woman who survived years of domestic-violence/abuse could have told him, isn't either wise or intelligent.
Canada NEEDS to replace political-parties with something intelligent, honest, and responsible!
Immediately.
_ /\ _
Disagree entirely. Trump has been absolutely insulting and denigrating our country, calling it the 51st state with Trudeau as its governor. We needed our Prime Minister needed to clap back if only for unity and national pride.
Canada NEEDS to replace political-parties with something intelligent, honest, and responsible!
Vague positive adjectives are not a plan.
Canada NEEDS to replace political-parties with something intelligent, honest, and responsible!
you missed the "/s"
I was going to say Trudeau should call him "vice president trump" to point out how subservient he is to musk but... I guess that is why there is the "governor" rhetoric. Like always, it is fascists projecting. trump might only be a VP in his own admin but that is still better than a governor and all that stupidity.
Trump is Putin's apprentice, invested-in for decades, as The Kremlin Papers identified.
Currently Trump is beta to both Putin & Musk, .. however .. brains change, sometimes gradually, & sometimes suddenly.
I'm betting that Trump will break-through-a-barrier in his brain's function, converting him to his needed psychopathy, this-year, if not this-late-winter-or-spring.
I'm not certain that Musk will like being truly-beta to Trump, when that happens, though..
it's us who would be more-jeapordized, however, by that personality-punctuation..
( there are actual fMRI image-sequences of multiple-personality-disorder patients switching-between-personalities, showing the change-in-brain-energization, now in our scientific record. )
Presuming that "status quo" isn't going to be disrupted is exactly the sort of belief that knifed the Dems in the US, in their back.
Presuming that the current-personality-of-Trump is going to remain unchanged, given the ferrocious forces acting on that poor brain, seems to me, a brain-injury survivor, who has massively altered the function of this brain..
( I spent literally years much-of-the-time catatonic, in the late 1980's & very-early 1990's )..
to be incompetent: normal-people just don't understand how-greatly a brain can change, in short duration, or long..
Even if it was caused by an aneurism/stroke, would his cult permit him to be removed-from-power??
Not a chance, so long as he remained alive.
So, if he loses his mirror-neuron-system, becoming incapable of any empathy, whatsoever, in such a brain-change,
..would that change the rules of ( the nature of ) "who" is governing the US?
Certainly.
But what it wouldn't do, is get the then-psychopath removed from power.
THAT is the threat we're currently under, even-though nobody else on this world considers this to be a real-threat..
So, I place my imaginary-dime ( the only thing I bet, ever: no material-gain/loss, ever, & only imagine the physically-tiniest-coin: keep it from being the gambling that people get their lives sucked-into ) on it happening, & all the world places their bet on it not-happening.
( this also identifies that it is the role which ought be protected, & if a person's personality changes enough, or if they get caught being corrupt, then they HAVE TO be removed from the role, but NONE of the political-party rigged governments hold to this standard!
Because they aren't in it for the benefits of our countries: they only want their-own rule! )
I was absolutely-right about him openly becoming a Putin-ally, about there being "the Caucasian Serpent" ( 1 of the 3 empires prophecied in the Christian's bible, in the end-times ), & I'm betting that I'm right on this point, too.
Hopefully I'm wrong!
Wouldn't the world be better if I always was?
Certainly establishment's-beliefs would be more comfortable..

"Special Advisor to Mr. Musk" or "Assistant to the Assistant to President Trump"
Is this supposed to be our response to Trump's threats? Can't say it instills much confidence, or any actually.
I want to understand your point. What are you being critical of with your comment? It’s not clear.
Honestly probably not a good idea. Trump is petty and vindictive.
It's plays excellently for the domestic audience, and making Trump stop being mean was never an option.
So far, I haven't heard any response at all from Trump.
Trudeau is retiring, it doesn't matter. And you need Trump to be vindictive in 12 hours or it won't happen? Seriously?
And you need Trump to be vindictive in 12 hours or it won’t happen?
Knowing Trump, yeah, probably.
Jeez we have rolling 30 day delays in tariff wars. Trump is stupid in lots of ways but you/he doesn't lose sight of being slighted that quickly. How long was it between Obama mocking him at the dinner and him running for president? Lot more than 12 hours.
I see little chance that was the only reason for running, and the people he doesn't like tend to slight him a lot - far more than he could keep track of even if he was intellectually normal. By all appearances, the input -> brain -> shitpost/order chain on the guy is very short and fast.
He could have fired back and said "now it's 50%", I guess. It's also possible someone will remind him. Either way, I don't think it will resonate as a huge mistake a year from now.
You gain nothing from bowing down to or fearing fascists. They should be openly mocked for the weak, cowardly fuckstains they are.
He already hates Trudeau and is taking it out on Canada. There's not a whole lot more he's going to be able to do without pissing off all his non-russian masters.
A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.
