Never trust a billionaire, but he’s a special sort of evil. He just wants his own power.

Wow I’m not sure how old that title makes me feel… nevermind my correct age but having to explain who George Lucas is would be very odd for a younger me. Obviously he did one of the best trilogies of all time, then…

I agree, as a Canadian even if not perfect I couldn’t imagine having a pay system or even what the US calls healthcare. That’s the point of taxation, we get roads that are drivable, healthcare that is affordable and stuff like food standards, clean drinking water, education. The billionaires are trying to say everyone else doesn’t need such things so they can get a bigger nibble of the pie when they already have truckloads.

Haha he’s so used to his deals being unknown so he probably can’t accept one less than Obama’s previous deal since itll be public. Hard to spin the cash they’re giving them when numbers are known.

This is your bed you lay in it, unfortunately a position Trump will never accept. Mean hopefully he does for everyone else but that alone means nothing for Trump…the great deal maker, the bastion of making a deal, apparently he made an art of it or something by being the best bullshitter.

One day…eyeing the nice scotch bottle

I never watched it growing up but everything I’ve heard about it since I was an adult is great. Never watched much skit comedy outside of kids on the hall and that’s just when not much else was on.

Nowadays I’d say the kids in the hall stuff was much better than other stuff I watched, cause I’m not sure I even remember…some syndicated sitcom I assume, waiting for dinner.

Still recall some of the taglines as little as I saw it, since you were waiting for the next show (possibly Simpsons at one point on cbc).

He’s not giving any prizes back for sure, they’re all for him to play with. Like South Park when Cartman gets the RC truck and makes Kyle watch while he plays. Think it’s the hippy episode, oh that’s a good one and been awhile too.

Though they’re not really EU anymore at least. Unless I’m missing something? Like yes Europe but not EU.

I really hope Canada can be part of that union, our landmass isn’t overly strong democraticly (due to certain neighbors effing things up) though it’d be an awesome middle finger to the US if Mexico could join as well. Oh look you’re surrounded by people not in your coolition, funny how that happens when you decide to be a complete asshole eh?

Let’s bring everyone up that we can, even if we get used to less because we all have to live on this planet may as well work together…that’s a pipe dream I know but wouldn’t it rock if we all found out how to get along, share and communicate? Again if only.

Mean I get lots of changes need to happen to make that a possibility but not like we don’t have time to work things out and figure out how we can all prosper.

Wasn’t that part of project 2025 though? So pretty much what he said he’d do? Well besides saying he knew nothing about it but that means it was expected.

There may be a new version for sale soon after with ‘corrections’, the orange trump bible, only costs 100% more than similar ones.

Then he’ll keep doing it to update it.

Haha first thing I thought of reading that headline,shit we’re going terminator. Well one day they’ll realize they don’t need us I assume. Just have to blot out the sun to go Matrix…

Don’t worry United States you elected someone almost as intelligent as he is for president.

Course don’t get me wrong, take a known biologist (apologize I don’t know any specific ones) I’m sure many took specimens to be studied for later. Unfortunately this person has shown he’s a complete idiot.

Does it really matter in this administration when they just tear everything down? Shit the mic is live… seriously US get your house in order you got someone who’s claimed to have brain worms helping diamantle your health department. Like only worse thing would be whatever the president is doing at 3am…shit posting to his owned social media.

It’s amusing how quickly you can fall from world superiority to dumpster from a lack of critical thinking. No way can they afford shit soon with the recent spending. Either educate people to be a decent army or afford the weapons but not both with their budget. They don’t have China’s numbers and less educated than any European army. Soon they won’t have money cause people aren’t producing enough taxes. Congrats US.

He has a whole country to pay for his gas… imagine how great that’s be if you were the biggest douche in the universe?

I sort of wish South Park would redo that episode with Trump instead cause he definitely beat out John Edwards. Could even just be a cut and paste for the most part, slightly different dialogue. Then a short live action apology with Matt and Trey saying hiow sorry they were that they didn’t realize there was such a better candidate when they first aired it and how much Trump is so much douchier than their original winner. Fuck even top it off with a cheesy gold paint sprayed award sent to acknowledge his accomplishments.

He’s propped up by Peter Thiel which should make people worry, if he was a tiny bit effective…maybe he is and there a big grand scheme at work but I don’t think Maga will rally behind him.

Course I don’t the ins and outs of their opinions beyond racist good and being accepting is bad. I hope the gas prices sink them, as horrible as a tiny thing his stance on things. I’m sure Thiel can afford a new lackey and has some ready to bring up. Hell he probably planned for that, Vance is so bland that he’s probably only there to make a case but not accomplish much.

Yeah but other countries may go ‘hey if they have countermeasures…’ and if they’re an EU country it’s like a shoe in. Not like it’d come from Hungary or anything. Wait I hope Hungary didn’t say similar to muddy the waters they can be such douches (as a country in NATO not the actual citizens of course).

I’m sure they’ll have free and fair elections going forward…in that great China similar power structure. That’s what always happens when electing one of them authoritarians after all. I hope the best for the people of course.

Edit: I will say I have no idea of the ballot options and even if they had a fair election now or if other was worse.

Well democratic (Western ones) countries don’t often show how upset they are with other western countries unless it impacts them. They may not condone actions but I’m pretty sure none of them ever liked dealing with Trump.

There’s that one picture of Trump in his first term sitting down while (I think) Merkle(sp?) was trying to explain something, there were other people in the shot and all (or mostly standing facing Trump) while he looked like a kid getting a lesson. They were okay for internal issues, well maybe not fine but mostly they wouldn’t say anything, but this round he’s fucked the world economy so yeah make sense. So I think they voiced their opinions previously as well just not in headlines as much.

Also the US has taken the lead so often, and (used to have) soft power that they managed properly.

Basically Trump (well his handlers) have effed up the social order so much it’s time to set the line. Sucks it took this long, cause all should have been done first term when the US elected a petulant child as leader.

Though I imagine it comes down to money as usual as you said, cause heaven forbid we figure out a way to run a country without billionaires making their voice known.

It’d be great if the people’s voices were heard for sure. Fortunately when time comes there are more of the regular folk than them. While I don’t condone violence it sucks that they can use violence and legal issues to make their goals happen without pushback.

Yeah the media wouldn’t want to say too many bad things otherwise they get scared with being taken off the air. Wonder which past governments this sounds similar too.

Good thing this special boy got his prize for being so awesome. Sorry no link but he received an award that was tailored to him just recently, no not the one a few months back this was a week or less ago. Hah yes Americans that is your president that is effing up the world. Get a prize as golden as he looks, sort of…wait is that why he likes the bronzer? I didn’t see them prize but everyone knows it’s golden to stroke…

That’s the best part, with someone you wouldn’t give sharp scissors to in the white house but loves to gargle Putin’s balls, it’s never enforced. Win win for people that should never have a win.

I’m sure Zelebsky is threading the needle of diplomacy to placate Trump’s nutsack and not lose territory to Russia.

Really this is a no win scenario I hope the best for all Ukrainians, from a random Canadian who doesn’t ever think wars (or military escapedes, whatever term you prefer for this or Iran) should be there just to beat up someone smaller or get more territory.
