He's so eloquent when he speaks, like listening to a butterfly's wings wafting over a boiling toilet

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

It's not him trolling us, it's his dementia trolling us. Or maybe his plain old stupidity. Honestly it's hard to tell at this point.
So, we’re back to this. His poll numbers are tanking so he has to quickly get control of the news cycle again.
I'm glad he got back to this literally days before a Canadian federal election.
Fuckin' seriously. I said half a year ago that a potential silver lining to Trump winning might be galvanising us to vote against PP, and it looks like that's pretty likely to happen, so thanks, Trump, for one uplifting bit in your otherwise awful tenure.

I guess it's time for a preemptive strike Canada, don't wait until it's too late.
What cards does this nipple have? None.
Canada has freedom. America doesn't anymore. Canadians are never going to agree to rolling back their rights and freedoms for a has been country headed by a fucking dictator wannabe. Canadians will die before anything like that comes to pass. Canada may be no match militarily, but now that Canadians are aware of the dangers .. that won't be the case forever. Unless of course they decide to invade Canada right now.. Not likely.
Canada simply can't afford to match America in conventional warfare. America has a more powerful military than the next 5 countries combined, and Canada isn't one of those. Unconventional warfare, on the other hand. I can't think of anything stupider than starting an unconventional war with a neighboring country with an incredibly long, weakly inhabited, border and a population that looks and sounds mostly like your own citizens. If even 1% of Canadians had a problem with that, there would be half a million insurgents that couldn't be easily identified.
It's just something to grab the headlines and make people focus on something other than Hegseth and China.
No, it's not. It's a 1930's that focused on a bloc of the United States, Canada, and Greenland.
Fuck no this is a technocrat idea?!
Hahahaha. Those fucking idiots had ideas so bad they're going to destroy the USA a hundred years later. Amazing
ohno he really uttered the word "trolling" thats it its over humanity is done :cry:
