Damn fucking right. Eat shit Trump and moron sycophants.
Carney should have said something like “if you want our countries to be friends, then start treating us like a friend and start acting like a friend.”
Talk to Trump at his level, akin to a 5 year old.
The sad thing is, this doesn't sound odd or unusual whatsoever. Given the current lack of decorum, I automatically assume this is how everyone must speak to him.
Vance would be begging to become another meme over that
What would it even mean to “sell” Canada? Whatever deal they make, the US could just back out of once Canada became a state, and Canada wouldn’t be able to do anything about it. It’s a non-sensical idea.
Selling territories makes sense, but selling your own sovereignty does not.
I've understood it more as buying the politicians out. That's the only thing that could really be "for sale", and thankfully we picked one that isn't (at least not in this context).
He should have punched that orange bitch in the face so fucking hard
Then jersey him and feed him a few more.
Being the convicted rapist that he is, Trump can't take no for an answer.
I'd love to be locked in a room with Trump for an hour, he'd survive but I'd tell the world afterwards what his end goal was and every secret he had.
Is there at a c/iamverybadass yet?
Serious question: Do you think anybody would listen? There have been multiple former members of the White House staff and Cabinet you have come out with scathing tell-alls. Then there are the multiple communications leaks. Then outright just stating that they are going to do the thing.
I'm pretty sure we are well past the point of revealing his true end goals and ending him right there
Look man. If my favorite football team sucks and makes shitty deals for players and has a losing record, I'm still going over the top saying they're gonna beat our main rivals and are the best ever. Hell I don't even need to understand why they suck or what they could even do to get better. They're my team! I can't let you talk shit about them.
Canada should play the longer game and agree to join the US if:
"We've established that you're a whore, now we're simply dickering over the price."
"ok"
next day: "nope"
ryathal should play the longer game and go fuck themself
It’s not a joke you dumb cunt. It was said with its full intention.
”The price is you stepping down and agreeing never to run for any political office under pain of death”
Still wouldn't be worth it. We can't expect Canadians to sacrifice themselves to the shitty US system, even the one without Trump.
Too cheap. It needs to be "the immediate resignation from office of anyone in the US who would want to purchase or otherwise take control of Canadian territory".
Still too cheap. It should be "The complete dissolution of the United States as a singular entity".
Trump reading this as: "Canada won't be on sale forever"
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.
