US political crisis

[lockinlove]

At the moment I view all of this bluster as akin to a new teachers first address to the naughty class in an attempt to stamp their authority.
Once control is established they will be bringing teacher apples

There is nothing to bluster about with Canada. The USMCA is already in place and updated. Canada already agreed to tighten its borders when Trump demanded it.

If anything he is making the USA look like idiots and is moving pretty quickly towards being the most hated country in the world.

His tactics used to work but when you start crossing too many lines and become too aggressive countries tend to fight back. He already has all of Canada furious and basically tell him to fuck off and that we will put large tarriffs on them or simply stop trade.

Aside from Canada.

Getting on the world stage and saying when he gets into office he will declare war on the middle east if the hostages arent returned is ridiculous. He ran on peace. Now he's moved his chips all in. You either release the hostages or we declare war on you. He has left himself no other options and has basically committed his country for war. He is counting on Hamas being scared and caving in. What if they dont? The USA goes to war with the middle east. yay.

Then saying that he will not rule out a military invasion into Greenland and that he may have to.. is crazy.

Id like to see all countries get together and tell the USA to take a hike and let USA to sit there and rot.

The guy has become an unhinged idiot.

Hey, I don't have anything against proper conservatives. Most people probably believe in a mix between progressive and conservative policies and actually having politicians from multiple parties working together to get the best possible solution for issues. Believe it or not: I am one of those. I've "split" my ballot in the past, I will probably do it again in the future depending on policies.

Trumpism is a whole nother thing and has fuck all to do with being a conservative.

 

[BillyGoldblum]

How can any americans support this insufferable prick anymore? The guy is running around the last week or so insulting a fuck tonne of his allies. Does this meathead underastand if we cut off trade with him his country will probably fall apart or at the very least end up in serious financial trouble. What a total big mouthed loser. All I'm seeing is everyone hating america right bout now.

Too bad this clown didn;t do this shit during election campaign. He would have lost. A crap tonne of people love the allies he is picking fights with even the repubs. What a true loser.

35 trillion in debt. Want some more debt retard?

Man people talk about Biden's dementia, this motherfucker is on that level too.picking a fight with Canada is a terrible idea. Especially right now when so many superpowers are salivating to see the US fail. He might actually accomplish the fall from grace for a once great country.

Heres the thing bro. He goes on and on about Nato funding. In all honesty the USA should be paying more. They start and stoke all the goddamn wars. Why the hell should we fund that crap?

Then he says he subsidizes Canada. Thats a crazy straight up lie. We provide the USA products for their population to survive. Look it up. They give us foreign aid for things like the wetlands. Which helps fund bird migrant that travels from the USa to Canada. Canada also gives foreign aid for things like this to the USA. Hes talking like he gives us money!! What a fkn retard. We give his country products they need to survive and they do the same in return. We just have a surplus because they have 10x the population we have. This is common sense ffs.

I totally get why they called this guy hitler now. If you go and look what MAGA says they repeat his lies without even looking into it. They are all like yeah lets invade greenland and canada! Not shitting you. This is how it started with Hitler. They believe his lies - got brainwashed.

 

[BillyGoldblum]

We should do this. Im sick of Americas bs. Cut them off.

 

[sufferinsilence]

Apparently people didn't remember his first term, or simply don't want a woman in office. It's not the first time he wants to get Greenland...

The ones who're going to hurt the most from these tariffs and all the Trump BS is his MAGA crowd.

But at least the techbro's will get their shit done, thanks to Elmo.

 

[lockinlove]

I couldnt even defend this guy if I wanted to. This is a 2 minute clip with atleast 5 blatant lies. Crazy this guy isnt being fact checked in real time. Maybe the reporters dont know the info but he doesnt care if he lies or not. He knows his MAGA cult wont do research and just take him at his word.



The USA does not subsidize Canada at all. There is a trade deficit because we supply 400 million people with products and they supply 40 million.

The USA gives Canada 7 million in foreign aid. Guess what for? The wetlands to help protect species that migrate to the USA which contributes to the american ecosystem.

He then goes onto say Canadians want to become the 51st state. They love it. In a recent poll over 80% of Canadians voted no.

He then lies and says Canada pays less than 1% to NATO. Canada pays 1.29%

Are you pitching your fourth bitch a little prematurely here?

I am waiting to see how things pan out in the first month after he takes over but I am quite confused about the intentions with the attacks on Canada/Castro and on the UK government so strongly.

Are we seeing the beginnings of an attack on Countries who embrace woke idiologies as well as those who's economies effect America negatively?
Are we seeing the beginnings of Trump getting his own back on countries who have been so negative towards him in the past?

Ukraine? Russia? Israel?

There must be a method to the madness?

No because even saying what he has said shows he is an unhinged lunatic. He's also a snake. He kept all of this hidden during his last couple years of campaigning. He gets elected and all he does is threaten everyone, lie like crazy to turn his MAGA cult on everyone and threaten war in the middle east.

He ran on ending the Russia war in 24 hours on day 1. He said yesterday he will meet with Putin to discuss it at some point soon but not on day 1. Probably not even the first couple of weeks.

The guy is just a wild liar. It seems like he knows he only has 4 years left so he doesnt care about anything.

A lot of people want the US out of NATO. They are sick of him. Why should all the other countries have to pay for americas constant war mongering? Iraq, Syria, LIbya, Afghan..I mean piss off. Then he cries people dont pay their 2%. No but we gave them 10s of billion and thousands of soldiers for Afghan. Funded Iraq etc.

Now part of his admin is openly saying they are a big fan of Andrew Tate. Who is a woman beater at minimum and most likely a rapist and trafficker too.

The guy is a meatball.

He is believing his own lies and targeting Maga with it. What in the fuck is that complete word salad he just made up? Literally as you said none of it is true.

The lumber thing kills me. The US doesn't have species of softwood that we export to them to meet their high demand as well as some of the rarer species we export. He's saying they can just cut down one tree and plant a better tree? Lol. So they can't meet their own demands including that they export just as much lumber as we do, to different countries, but he wants to cut that down and replant it with Canadian softwoods without having the climate and soil ecology to actually grow such species? It makes no sense.

 

[lockinlove]

I dont know. He went from being entertaining and funny to a complete unhinged lunatic that lies worse than any politician or person I have ever seen in my life.

Lying to his MAGA base and them parroting it is Hitleresque. The lumber thing is just another lie. The USA could be energy independent if they spent trillions in infrastructure. ..they buy it from us because its much cheaper too

I dont think he has graduated public school tbh

 

[mack341]

I remember in his 1st term he hinted at being unhappy with Nato, I wonder now if he was even back then thinking about canada and Greenland, that in some future scenario they just absorb/take them.

Nato is a restriction on doing that, you'd have to think he's already gone against the spirit of that organisation by more or less threatening/hostile rhetoric against 2 of the members.

I wonder where he's getting all these ideas, it's not Fox tv, the CIA or military industrial complex??

 

[armster]

He's Putin's North American lapdog. Where else do you think he's getting these ideas? Lol.

I think he just thinks these things up and then talks about it like its true. Because he has some decent policies (releasing american energy, anti-woke, anti-trans stuff), he has recruited MAGA who are all in on everything he says.

How do they feel right now knowing Trump just said that maybe in 6 months he will be able to solve the Russia war? Alot of independents voted for him saying he would solve it before he took office.

How do the independents feel that he's threatening the UK, Canada, Denmark and other allies? He didnt run on any of this.

Or his wild lies? The media should fact check him during live events but he would probably just overtalk and insult them

Or his threat of declaring war in the middle east?

Or support for Andrew Tate?

I get he doesnt like Trudeau and insulting him is great but he is insulting the entire country with his disrespectful rhetoric especially against Denmark and Canada.

And now he have fox news Jesse Waters asking why the USA just doesnt invade Canada and take it. How is Trump and that party any better than Putin right now or any dangerous dictator?

They didnt act like this last term but now that he only has 4 years, its like they are in a race to become nazi Germany 2.0

Don't have to think too hard about why he'd like to have Greenland as an American state: they have a shitload of minerals like lithium that can be mined. And who do we know that could use a cheap lithium source for his cars?

Unhappy with NATO is one thing, threatening to basically invade fellow NATO countries is something else... I've seen MAGA's digging up a 2019 poll where Greenlandic (is that the correct word?) people would like to be independent from Denmark. But that doesn't mean they want to be part of the USA

 

[armster]

They have tried but he just kicks them out and calls them fake news. I understand doing that with the hard left core media but he has kicked out centric media as well.

Quebec are separatists too but I don't think they'd be terribly interested in become a US state.

Thankfully only 4 years of this. If it was 8 years I think the world would be in some real danger. Trump is nuts and seems like his goal is to take over North America at the very least. He is also trying to rename the gulf of mexico as the gulf of america. He is so zoned in on america first that he thinks America is the only one that matters. Sort of like Germany did.

"If Denmark doesnt give us their land, then we will take it and not rule out military force" Where is Poland and all these other countries that were so outraged that Putin said the same thing? Nowhere to be found because it doesnt involve them.

All countries seem to ignore Trump and treat him like a child and just try and hang on til hes gone. We seen it last term when he was pulling his NATO stuff and insulting other countries.

Where is Trumps rhetoric on North Korea joining in with Russia? The world seems pretty quiet about the topic completely which I find weird.

Trudeau is a full blown loser but he might actually be good for Canada when it comes to Trump. He is super arrogant and tyranical. Lol not gonna go 100% on that but possible

Elon Musk is another one. I used to like him too and while he isnt parroting Trump with the crazy stuff and doesnt like Trudeau, he's kind of acting like "im the king and you will listen to me" type stuff.

We have important positiions acting like children trolling all day.

NATO should have a meeting and then publicly announce that if Trump doesnt stop with his bs they will leave NATO and stop trade with him and leave america on its own. Call him on his bluff. (probably why im not in charge though lol)

He is also emboldening others....

I think you need to calm down a little.

I am as much pissed off with his promises of ending the conflicts in the world as anything else but I hold out hope that he will do it and not provoke an esculation into using any type of nukes.

At the moment it is just words and not deeds. But he is just as much a globalist as the Dems and Biden's controllers are.
I will wait to see what his first month brings in power

[mack341]

I would've thought the 'art of the deal' is when both parties are happy, the art of belligerence won't work as well.

Obviously he hasn't started yet, but the preview doesn't look good, I'd have laughed if Denmark had said the price for Greenland is about 200 trillion dollars then seen Trump's reaction.

The Biden Regime did not fuel this war. No US regime fueled this war. This has been going on since 2007 for fucksakes and the tensions even longer, decades even. And while I'm not supporter of the democrats(have to qualify that here so I don't get labeled a blind Biden supporter) you are madly down the fucking rabbit hole if you think Trump ended this conflict. Trump isn't in power yet despite he and King Elon's tweets. This is the result of ongoing efforts from Egypt, Qatar, and the US over a course of several months that's how these things come to fruition. They don't just occur overnight.

 

[lockinlove]

Trump is a used cars salesman.

He knew Biden admin was brokering this deal and it was coming to fruition. Just in time for him to spout his threats and then try and take credit.

He thinks he can run around and tariff everyone and that we will all just sit here and take it.

So he is going to spend his 4 years getting into trade wars with his allies? Canada met with all its premiers and are getting a tariff package together to place on the USA if they try it.

Here is the problem. With how Trump is acting right now, they will get demolished in the next election and we are back to democrat insanity. We need less of an asshole in charge of the USA.

Lets list some of the things Canada has done for the USA

Fought and died with them in WW1 and WW2

Fought together in the Korean war

Rescued their dimplomats in Tehran

Opened our homes, provided millions in aid to the USA during 9/11, Katrina and other disasters/attacks

Gave billions in aid and intelligence during the IRAQ war

Gave billions and thousands of soliders for their Afghan war.

Provide them cheap energy so they dont have to buy it from Iran and Venezuala for higher prices which would also be supporting terrorist regimes.

Provide them discounted lumber because they do not have enough

Provide them with minerals.

This is just a small list. So to have some unhinged lunatic go on the world stage and lie and say they subsidize us and they dont need Canada is absolutely wild behavior. Some of the craziest I have ever seen. If this is his judgement, I do not trust that guy at all.

[goatwack]

Whew, what a day!

The day after completing a lifelong dream of his dancing with the Village People onstage, God Emperor Trump wasted no time in getting to business!

Watching the standing ovations rack up was quite something, all the while as Biden fell into deep slumber in full view, and Kama-LA! sat there stone-faced throughout, as the Dems were made to toil throughout!

After signing what seems like 450 executive orders, with around 400 breaks inbetween, such as having to declare there are only two genders, he swatted away the shill reporters in attendance with skill and aplomb as they desperately tried to annoy him. Not today, Jose!

And of course, what better way to indulge in the festivities with YMCA, than to YMCA.....with swords!!

[armster]

I've got to say, in all seriousness, I'm actually more than a little worried about the near future here. Maybe it's just my anxiety brain and as much as I'd like think they're trolling us, Trump has managed to bring together the wealthiest of the world and create a government of the far right. He's effectively turned those with power and money into a ruling class and there is enough comfort for a leader to "heil Hitler" on the stage the whole world is watching.

Trump is talking about annexing allies, it seems he wants to take over North America and will do so at any cost to even his own country. I just have no idea how this can play out except badly for a lot of people. He has literally zero internal controls and he has a lot of uneducated followers who appear to be willing to take up arms at his beckon for any reason he decides. This is a different timeline and one I don't think any of us have even come close to experiencing before.

 

[lockinlove]

We can start with retard Trudeau getting out of the way. That guy in charge of Canada doing this, I see nothing but brutal devastation for Canada.

The liberals havent diversified our trade at all. Almost all of it is between the USA and Canada. The last 9 years they should have been building relationships abroad. Now look at us. 80% of our trade is with the USA. One country who has shown time and time again they will invade countries if it benefits them enough.

We have 4 of the most important largest commodities in the world. Energy, lumber, minerals and water.

How in gods name is this country broke and defenseless? Liberal policies.

Trudeau should stfu, close the borders like orange man is requesting and focus on building partnerships. Instead, he is doing media soundbytes all day and has the government closed down.

Do people realize some of the oil we give to the USA they flip it on the open market and make 200% profit? Why are we doing this? Because we trust the USA to be our partner? Ridiculous.

Almost seems on purpose.

Leverage is at the heart of deal making and Trump knows that better than most. Its up to Canada to fight for a reasonable deal but having government closed down can't be helpful.

 

[DreamRJ]

The true fact is the far right have slowly been taking over everything including the media.

The tech tycoon billionaire clowns are just another example of them switching their agenda in the rise of the far right. Musk is again someone who has slowly shown his true colors, and now we finally see who he really is and what he truly believes in.

I mean anyone doing a Nazi Salute twice on stage and in front of the entire world knows exactly what he is doing and why and who he is trying to reach out too.

The sad truth is Trump has clearly stated what he was going to do if he won and now he is back in the white house he is doing exactly what he said he would do. No surprises there.

But saying that there was a nice nasty surprise today as well, he decided to pardon that Silk Road Founder.

I mean honestly the fact he pardoned all the Jan 6 rioters was not even surprising when he stated he would multiple times in the rallies the last year. I do not recall him ever mentioning in his rallies he would pardon the Silk Road founder though but maybe he did, I never watched any of them because they was all just a circus show.

Every day we wake up now we will get more headlines with the racist orange nasty far right clowns next move. All we can do is fasten our seatbelts and ride it out because to be totally honest, we can not do anything about it.

The sad truth is that 75million Americans voted this criminal orange clown back into the white house which is actually more sad than anything else. It is a sad state when a huge majority of Americans are either brainwashed or under educated that they are easily swayed politically.

Populism is one of the worst things and unfortunately it appears it could make its way to the UK as well in the likes of Farage. I mean we all saw how it happened with Boris Johnson too and we know how that ended as well. It is not the last time either.

I even did a Electoral Calculus the other day to see what % Reform party would need to get enough seats to win a majority in Parliament and Nigel to be crowned the PM. This is the result.

Reform currently have a 24% in the latest polls, 2% lower than Labour which is at 26%. Conservatives are still below reform and labour at 22%.

All reform needs is 10% and they can actually win the next election in 4 and a half years time. Scary indeed.

But honestly Trump is going to cause a lot of pain for a lot of people not just in the USA but around the world.

It will probably end in some sort of a civil war in the USA I am guessing. But no one knows for sure yet but it looks more and more likely the more crazy shit that this criminal clown does.

And in the meantime it would be best to boycott all the tech giants who attended the inauguration. Amazon, Google, Meta, X......

So far Trump lied about getting all the hostages back. He also lied about stopping that war. When asked about it here said "The war in gaza isnt our business. Its not our war. I dont know if there will be peace. Next"

Then he lied on stopping the Ukraine war before taking office or on day 1. He said he doesnt know. might sanction Putin, might talk to him when he has time in a few months.

He also didnt run on starting trade wars with every country in the world.

All of the above was to win the voters who were in the center.

He does seem to be keeping his promises he made to the right though.

So I guess his strategy was to lie to the swing voters to get in power.

You sound like you are going through all of the 5 stages of grief but not in the right order.
I totally agree that he has not kept to his promises. But to be fair I give him a month before I will judge him. Maybe

And half the time you sound like a rambling alcoholic but do I comment on that?

I have no grief, just tired of lying polticians is all. Im more annoyed we have an unhinged orange lunatic right beside us and we have about the weakest human in power in Canada to deal with it.

All this has shown me is Canada needs to build its own nuclear arsenal as a deterrent since we can no longer trust the americans. Trudeau has left our country so defenseless and weak its ridiculous.
