He looks like he's wearing eyebrow wigs
Nasty pasty, pudding and pie
The most common response to this as an American from other Americans is “he’s joking, or it’s just a deflection.” And that can be true. But like everything else he’s said - it’s always a joke until it isn’t. But if you’re Canadian it was never a fucking joke to begin with and I’m here for it.
Dear Canadians,
Despite being fully taken over by morons, this soon-to-be US expat loves you.
I don't understand, will you be an American that temporarily lives and works in another country?
Or will you live and work in America temporarily?
In the latter case: why choose the us?
In the former case: Why only temporarily leave the US?
American Expat means leaving the USA. ”ExPat" means ex-patriot. Not the best word, but it's what people use.
Yea expats are foreign workers that intend to return home after some time. While immigrants are looking to stay.
I still maintain that there is some ambiguity with "US expat" but I ain't no native speaker. So what do I know.
I will return home to my parents and family for visits. I have permission to work from mexico from my company. I may come back if the states get their shit together, but I'm tired of fighting for a lost cause.
"Expat" is what people from wealthy countries use because applying terms like "migrant" to themselves make them feel uncomfortable.
It's a subtle form of racism / classism.
Well, I didn't intend it as such. I'm the son of a Cuban immigrant and have no shame in that. I'm using the vernacular. Take your accusations elsewhere, please.
I didn't think you intended it as such, and am not "accusing" you of anything.
I was simply making an observational comment about how that word is commonly used in the west. You yourself said it's not the best word.
Plenty of vernacular expressions have their roots in racism and other inequality, and are used by media to support heirarchies and disguise inequality.
It doesn't hurt to be mindful of that or to question our unwitting reinforcement of these ideas. For example a few years ago we saw UK "expats" voting for brexit to keep out "migrants". A little more mindfulness might have meant a little less voting for leopards to eat faces.
It also "doesn't hurt" to take things as intended. And before you call me out for the same, know that this will be a merry-go-round if you do.
Nothing I said was about you. Why would I "call you out"?
This isn't fight club it's the fediverse. You need to chill.
You're the one writing a diatribe on how to use words. Who needs to chill?
I ENJOY pontificating about words. It's my happy place!
I was not trying to taunt you or insult you, friend.
But it sounds like you're not really in a head space right now where you can enjoy this conversation. I can respect that. Peace.
Can someone please get dementia Donny back to his nursing home please
Public spanking of Donald is in order. Time to put up Wanted sign for Don.
No fuckin' way i'm spanking that. Shit splatters
Diaper Don is further gone than Old Yeller was when his owner took him back behind the shed. Just sayin'
Wasn't Old Yeller rabid? Not that the farting Cheeto might not also be, of course.
Haha, good one. Ok you can stop joking now. Guys did-- did you hear me? YOU CAN STOP JOKING NOW GUYS
I just made a comment about this but yeah, it’s always a joke with him until it isn’t.
We’ll wipe out anyone who dares to invade our country. Scorched earth. We will render the Great Lakes radioactive for thousands of years.
Politically, Canada and California are indistinguishable. The United States with two Californias would look more like Canada than it would the current US.
The GOP cringes every time Trump talks about a 51st state.
But 50 is such a nice round number
Oh really Donny, are they deplorable?
Tell your representatives/Carney to stop cowering, and spending on military vs Russia, and to be more aggressive on winning trade war. Cancel F35s today. Can renegotiate much better later if trade war resolved.
