"The United States has reached out to Denmark..."

You know, the country the United States wants to invade and forcefully take land from.

America: The dumbest rocks in the sock drawer.

Well, well, well... if it isn't the consequences of your own actions

[-] ikidd@lemmy.world 3 points 24 minutes ago

Yah, we're going to need you to go fuck yourself.

[-] ArtVandelay@lemmy.world 1 points 1 minute ago

It's a weird feeling, being what feels like a sane person in an insane country run by insane people. Hearing people tell us to go fuck ourselves when we probably agree with everything they are saying. And really not even blaming them for feeling that way based on the absolute lunatics in charge and how they behave.

America, Fuck You Asshole!

[-] ragingdachshund@lemm.ee 4 points 15 minutes ago

Citizen of the United States here. Don’t. Assume whatever this orange anal fistula offers to pay will in fact not be paid. Assume whatever agreement brokered will immediately be ignored or violated. Assume this pus filled clementine will still try to “take” Greenland.

Let this shithole 3rd world country burn. It asked for fascism in the form of egg prices, let them deal with their egg prices.

This is a joke right? Something from the Onion? Why would any country help out Trump now?

[-] Maeve@kbin.earth 1 points 11 minutes ago

Ask Turkiye.

[-] NotSteve_@lemmy.ca 22 points 3 hours ago

I thought the US didn’t need anything from anyone else? Isn’t that what you said?

[-] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 8 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

It sucks that this is happening.

Food staples becoming a cost-prohibitive thing, regardless of who's elected, is extraordinarily bad. I wish people could get past their reflexive need to point fingers and root for the other team to fail over this, because I'd think that wanting people to be able to eat is something we could all agree on.

[-] melpomenesclevage@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 30 minutes ago* (last edited 29 minutes ago)

I'm not rooting for the other team to fail. I live here.

let the american trash suffer. it's the only thing americans even approach understanding. they cannot comprehend consequences in the future, cannot remember the past. only those that are happening right now. better this now than something worse later.

[-] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 8 points 2 hours ago

Unfortunately things need to get bad enough that Trump loses his base or we'll be stuck in this shit forever. Best just to bite the bullet and brace for the shitty hopefully short term until he pushes the wrong person and everything comes crashing down on him. It's the only way forward that may actually result in improvement as far as I can see.

"You will become part of the US."

two days later....

"Bro my egg prices are high, can you help a brotha out?"

[-] UpperBroccoli 7 points 3 hours ago

Oh, we can all egg you.

[-] withabeard@sh.itjust.works 20 points 5 hours ago

I'm not saying we should...

But negative tariffs on eggs coming out of the USA and ridiculous tariffs on eggs going into the USA would tickle my funny bone

[-] melpomenesclevage@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 28 minutes ago

OMG yes, have canada subsidize imports of american eggs. that would make me so fucking hot. I'd be out a lot of baked goods for a while, but cannot make myself care. I'll learn to bake vegan or something.

[-] ragingdachshund@lemm.ee 2 points 18 minutes ago

Hear me out - apply a tariff from EU to Canada on eggs (stay with me). Apply a tariff 2X that tariff to the US on eggs imported from Canada. Something something, profit

[-] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 36 points 6 hours ago

I would love to see NATO countries (besides the US) band together and say:

”We will come together to support our great ally, so long as she saves herself. Upon the acceptance of President Trump's and Vice President Vance's resignation, we will provide the aid that our friend needs."

Trump could, in fact, be the hero here. He could walk away from the presidency with a win. For added measure, these countries could write lofty and wonderful articles about Trump's selflessness.

We know he won't.

Aside: I'm not saying Mike Johnson would make a good president. But let's take this one thing at a time.

[-] dzso@lemmy.world 2 points 23 minutes ago

Honestly, I love this idea. Why aren't America's former allies calling for the resignation of Trump and Vance? Let the American people know that if they want cheaper eggs, and better trade deals, they're going to have to find a way to get rid of these traitors who have seized power.

[-] Tuxman@sh.itjust.works 9 points 4 hours ago

"On this trade war that HE started…"

Ok.. but then it’d be truth for once 😅

[-] rumba@lemmy.zip 12 points 5 hours ago

Meanwhile, the egg department in my grocery store is absolutely full not a single carton sold.

Nobody's paying eight bucks for a carton they can rot.

Meanwhile I bought a pack of chicken breasts at 267 a pound which is the normal price.

There's no shortage of chickens, there's no shortage of eggs

[-] keys42@literature.cafe 7 points 4 hours ago

I'm not suggesting that corporations aren't inflating prices, but your chicken breasts come from birds which are slaughtered pretty young, as opposed to egg layers so there is a much larger window to be infected.

[-] rumba@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 hours ago

HPAI A(H5) or A(H7) virus infections can cause disease that affects multiple internal organs with mortality up to 90% to 100% in chickens, often within 48 hours.

They're not that young :)

[-] rumba@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 hours ago

If there were any empty shelves, I'd buy it. I should have taken a picture. Nobody is buying any eggs. The price should have ridden that wave, there should be almost no eggs on the shelf, priced at the maximum that pushes product without quite selling out.

There were thousands of eggs there.

In covid we ran out of toilet paper, it wasn't 8x the price on the shelf. Those eggs on the shelves are weeks old now.

Capitalism artificially creates scarcity (or the illusion of scarcity) to generate capital.

[-] rumba@lemmy.zip 6 points 5 hours ago

Price collusion and greed

[-] madjo@feddit.nl 8 points 4 hours ago

Get bent, United States!

charge us more, seriously

[-] SlopppyEngineer@lemmy.world 10 points 6 hours ago

Time to educate Trump in the fine art of export tariffs.

[-] lemel@lemmy.ml 16 points 6 hours ago

European nations, please say that you will export eggs only when the idiots are out of power.

Iraq: has oil

Murca: we declare a freedom on you!

Canada: has oil

Murca: we declare a freedom on you!

Denmark: has eggs

Murca: we declare a freedom on you!

[-] Goretantath@lemm.ee 53 points 8 hours ago

As a true American, don't help us with eggs, it'l hurt your country in the long run. Let us suffer so we can get our heads out of our asses and purge the nazis.

[-] MyOpinion@lemm.ee 215 points 10 hours ago

Do not help us. This is what we deserve.

This is why we HAD allies. Had. To assist with the largesse we consume as Americans. You don’t get to swing your orange dick around at the world, offending and assaulting every ally, and then ask for help.

[-] stardust@lemmy.ca 79 points 10 hours ago

Help? Help? What happened to wanting to be a proud independent country that don't need no allies.

[-] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

Maybe Russia has some eggs they can lend in these trying times.

[-] Vandals_handle@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago

I'll take a couple of them Fabergé eggs.

[-] BedSharkPal@lemmy.ca 34 points 8 hours ago

Hold the line Denmark. Don't pull a fucking Australia. Fuck those guys.

[-] Scott_of_the_Arctic@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

Hah! Get wrecked, cunt!

[-] MyDogLovesMe@lemmy.world 126 points 11 hours ago

Canada here. Our eggs are cheap.

You want em?

Take your trade war agression and shove it up your ass!

You want to take our sovereignty away?

…starve.

[-] Ledericas@lemm.ee 1 points 44 minutes ago

triple charge for eggs.

Genuinely, fuck us over as hard as you can.

I know about Type 2 “Sorry”, but there are an absolute shitload of idiots down here who don’t.

[-] Voroxpete@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 hours ago

For those who don't know, Canada has two types of "Sorry".

The first is "I'm sorry for what I did."

And the second is "I'm sorry for what I'm about to do."

That's the one that usually ends up adding new entries to the Geneva Conventions.
