FUCKIN A RIGHT BUD. We all needed this. One hell of a game, too.

These tech broligarchs are the whiniest fucking piss baby weenies on the planet. These are the representatives of American power right now. What a fucking disgrace.

Yes, by MAGA’s own vernacular it does.

You can’t spell hatred without red hat.

(I can’t take credit for this, I saw this comment on this same story elsewhere, and I thought it was so obvious that I can’t believe it isn’t more widespread)

I assume this is a rhetorical question.

I get your sentiment, but I rather think the comedy above arises from the rhetorical flourishes.

It’s ok, I don’t actually believe this.

Twist ending: Trump comes out as the ultimate leftist neoglobalist. His entire life has been dedicated to cultivating the most unabashed narcissistic piss baby entitled con man personality, as a front, just so he can convince America to share its wealth and power, collapse American hegemony, and permanently destroy conservatism. He’s the only one that has the special Yank whisperer powers to convince an entire nation of dumbfucks to act against their own self interest.

At this point nothing would surprise me.

We had tshirts made for Canada Day, with the Canadian flag, and the words “Proud Canadian…not a douchebag”.

Remarkably everyone we met, and I mean everyone, knew which douchebags we were referring to.

Ok but we’re talking about Nazis, and the principle stands.

I have to look him up on Wikipedia, so he doesn’t really matter to me. He’s not a Nazi though, so maybe?

Sorry it’s just the way it is with Nazis. The only good one is a dead one. Just accept it.

Every life matters

You started from a faulty assumption. Nazi lives don’t matter.

Because AXE THE TAX, LIBERAL CUCK!!

The problem with this quote is that everyone thinks they’re the strong men. In other words, it’s mostly useless rhetoric that doesn’t really identify the problem.

All of this bullshit because some fucking guy couldn’t properly set his windage.

Yeah, a carbon tax that results in perhaps a percent of price inflation is just nowhere near as serious - neither in kind nor degree - as 25% across the board tariffs. And if we need to have emission reduction measures in place to trade with the EU, and trading with the EU is now an existential priority, then frankly he can sit down and shut up. The adults are talking.

(the above assumes all the talk of economic annexation is bluster, which is no longer a foregone conclusion)

both leaders here keep talking about how we Canadians fought hand in hand in <insert war>, took in Americans in 9/11 etc.

I agree they are all saying this, but I sense a difference in intent between Poilievre and the rest.

Maybe it’s my bias, but I feel that Poilievre is saying these things with the intent to convince the Americans - i.e., it’s for the American audience. By contrast, Carney and others are saying these things more for the Canadian audience - to explain why it’s justified to be angry at the Americans and we need to grow up and kick them to the curb.

For Carney and others, it’s a rallying cry; for Poilievre it’s an attempt at appeasement.

This is a good observation. He wants to change his messaging because he sees the writing on the wall. Running around yelling about how shitty the country is, insulting his fellow countrymen, riding a wave of animosity towards minorities, etc. - this is the opposite of unifying. It’s reinforcing the teams. He sees it’s failing now, but he can’t bring himself to actually attack Trump or the GOP. He has to lean into platitudes and empty shows of strength. At the end of the day, it makes him look like he’s not angry enough at the US…probably because he’s not. He doesn’t have an affinity or an understanding of this country beyond narrow political gain, because he’s never spent a day of his adult life outside of politics.

Removed by mod

Billionaires should not exist. You don’t get to be a billionaire without exploiting people - for that matter once you get over about 10M you’re probably stepping on people, or exploiting systems, in order to continue growing your wealth. And why, exactly? It’s a sickness that gets worse the richer someone gets. It’s been studied and confirmed that people who have excessive wealth convince themselves that they deserve it, they earned it individually, and that they are special and more valuable than others. So instead of riding off into the sunset, they feed their addiction by buying outsized and unearned power in order to shape the laws so that they can make more money. Just fuck off already - you won at capitalism, now get the fuck out of the way and stop screwing over everyone else and making our lives miserable.

Beyond 100M we should just take it all for the state. 100% tax rate. If you want to keep earning beyond that, then great, you will have the glory of contributing to the public good.

But since billionaires have convinced idiots to advocate against the idiots’ own interest, and argue that the billionaires can’t be constrained in any way, then this will never happen in the current social context. So next best thing is to do as Bill says. Put the fear of God into them.

Canada should use this as an opportunity to cancel dairy quotas in CUSMA. RFK advocates for raw milk. The pubic safety is at risk.

It also gives the US a solid economic fuck you that costs us nothing. We don’t really export any milk to them, so all it does is remove the competition in our dairy market. And CUSMA is dead anyway, Trump killed it.
