It’s blatant extortion now.

      I miss the good old days when he just obsessed about fucking his daughter instead of my country.

      There will be no war between the US and Canada.

      We all know it’s just bluster.

        If we were living in a rational world I’d agree, but with all the ludicrous stuff we’ve seen in the last few months I’m not convinced we are. We really shouldn’t dismiss anything as impossible with Trump at the helm of the US. It’s a hope for the best, prepare for the worst kind of time.

        When Doug Ford was going to tax the electricity going into the US, Trump said on Truth Social:

        I will shortly be declaring a National Emergency on Electricity within the threatened area. This will allow the U.S to quickly do what has to be done to alleviate this abusive threat from Canada.

        I find that extremely worrying. With enough bluster and showing of force all it takes is one mistake to kick things off.

        Was it “all bluster” when he told his followers to “stop the steal” on Jan6 a few years ago?

        It worked for Bush Jr. but only after he fucked up everything with the “War on Terror”. We’re still picking the pieces up from that mess.
