SAVE act is making a return. Democrats will never win an election again.

It is bad, but the modern American system prevents "X will never win an election again" because the parties gave up foundational ideology a long time ago. If it passes, the Democrats will just change their platform.

But that isn't what Canadians want. We were specifically told that they want to be the 51st state.

FB friend:
It's bad enough that the Orange POS thinks we should become part of the US, but he thinks that if we did, we would be just one state. Imagine that: 3.8 million square miles and 41 million people ... just one state.

But of course he wouldn't choose a reasonable number, because a more reasonable number would be at least 10 states, if not 20 or 30. And then we would promptly become an utterly dominant political force in America.

He wants to take Canada and treat it as a puppet nation.

IF Canada became part of the US it would almost definitely be split into multiple states. As it is it would become a blue state and the Republicans can't have that, especially given their slim margins in Congress. Not that Canada would agree to merge with the US anyway.
Agreed, but even if it were to be split up, the most logical ways for such a split to take place would likely still end up advantaging Democrats over Republicans. Like so much of his agenda, the orange either hasn't thought this through, or he's not really serious anyway (likely because his true agenda vis-a-vis Canada is something else).

I go back and forth whether he is creates distractions to do sleight of hand or whether he is just bumbling around all over the place and often someone can help him to make something useful out of what he does.

It's the bumbling one. I don't think he is as dumb as many on here like to make him out to be, but none of his moves are 3 dimensional chess, or even chess. He plays checkers, he knows his goal is the other side of the board and will confidently make moves without stopping to think about them, and will sometimes try to move 2 spaces, to see if anyone stops him.

I have played checkers with a 3-year-old. You don't have to tell me the whole thing.

I thought it was just goofy when Trump was asked about the childcare crisis and he kind of just said when the tariffs start rolling in none of that would be an issue. But he was really whispering in the souls of embarrassed millionaires, wasn't he? How many dopes are out there expecting the nation to be awash with wealth right away? And how to they understand a movie like this where Trump winds up not doing the tariff after all?

It's remarkable how easily fascists can be aroused to anger and hatred against people who they considered friends mere months ago.

Right-wing social media is full of Americans saying that they don't need Canadian products, don't want Canadian products, and intend to boycott anything from Canada. They're trying to cancel our entire country, when they had no such anger at us just a few scant months ago.

Trump says "these people are our enemies now" and his followers obediently start burning us in effigy the next day. This is what a hate-based movement looks like. They thrive on hate: it is literally what brings them together. That's why they're so easily moved to hate someone they had no problem with yesterday. They enjoy it. They KNOW it brings them together, and they love the feeling.
Right now, Canada is learning that it was a huge mistake to antagonize China for the sake of relations with the US, because the US is a country with no sense of honour or loyalty, and they can turn on you in an instant. Other countries will learn from our error.
It's good that we got a 30-day reprieve from Trump's idiotic 25% tariffs, but it's bad that in order to get it, we had to pledge to crack down on the completely nonexistent problem of Mexican drug cartels operating in Canada. It is ridiculous that an entire nation has to now spend a billion dollars playing make-believe "cops and cartels" at the border to placate the ego of an imbecile who made up a fake problem to complain about.

Does FB friend not remember the Freedom Convoy?

Trump's base finds it funny when he bullies Canada and Trudeau particularly. Somehow, the fact that you've done literally nothing to provoke this and they don't have any actual beef with you for any reason, is the joke.

HEALTHY again!

Republicans in Congress and the Trump administration are attempting to repeal the Biden administration’s groundbreaking rules that require all the country’s lead pipes to be replaced over the next 13 years and lower the limit on lead in water.

Environmentalists expressed alarm about the moves, which, if successful, would in effect prohibit the government from ever requiring lead line replacement in the future, or lowering lead limits.

I would rather have to work on an imaginary problem than a real one.

Trump said on Sunday that “terrible things are happening in South Africa. The leadership is doing some terrible things, horrible things” without providing specifics. He said “they’re taking away land, they’re confiscating land, and actually they’re doing things that are perhaps far worse than that.”

I'm just glad that here in the United States our government doesn't do horrible things like confiscating land.
