So where we at in 4chan's little prophecy from 2016?
It will happen when the weather cools.
That's when they'll make their move.
The plans made long ago, before the founding of America, and older still, will come to fruition.
They're trying to force God's hand.
Watch for these signs:
  1. Three branches will become one.
  2. An island will drift away.
  3. A killing bolt will shine in the night but will not kill.
  4. The star will gorge itself on clay.
  5. Idols will speak and move about.
  6. The black flag will fly above the dome.
  7. The belly of the dragon will drip water.
  8. Two voices will call out in a silence that all will hear.
  9. A rock will stand on seven hills.
  10. The ravens will starve.
  11. The bear will leave its cave forever.
  12. The rod and the ring will strike.
I'm thinking we got at least 6/12.
 
All Trump has to do is get a state to offer a special tax rate for like first 5-10 years and those businesses would be over here so fucking fast. Canada better be real careful.
I didn't even know about this, I didn't think Canada had much of a chance but now the game was rigged from the start and they cant get out of the grave they dug.

Context please? What is this supposed to be?
 
He's actually based for this, not because tariffs are necessarily great, but because he's comparing them to income tax, which was what was used to supplement the lost revenue in 1913. The US should revert to the pre-1913 model. People will bring up the debt, but who cares? The debt is mathematically unpayable. You can cut spending while you're at it.
This whole tarriff debate seems to center on one thing, can the Trump administration actually bring back domestic manufacturing on a scale like it was in the early 20th century with this level of protectionism? the economy of the United States 100 years ago and now is much, MUCH different, back then heavy industry and agriculture took up a larger share, not to mention labor was cheaper.

If they pull somehow pull this off in under 4 years, that's good and would make the economy more self-sufficient, if they fuck-up even just once here, well, get your assholes ready because this is going to be painful for the lay person like us.
 
All right, this is just fucking hilarious. This is the top CNN story. The way it's written and presented, it sounds like they're rooting for the Canadians.
I do hope they include digital purchases. Plenty of apathetic gamers in canada with the "I just want to game" mentality, and if prices of games go up 25%, it will make a LOT of otherwise not political people upset if the ENTIRE STEAM STORE is suddenly 25% higher

Goddamn, someone should send this to the White House. A tariff on all digital purchases would cause Canada to melt down.
 
Can you imagine the US and Canada actually going to war? It would be the first war fought almost entirely with shitposts. Americans would be posting Fallout power armor memes and “Get raked, Leaf!” and Canadians would be posting, “You just want what you can never have,” as a caption over a chiseled gay model posing seductively in a Mountie uniform. This would continue until we all collapsed from meme exhaustion.
Collapsed from meme exhaustion? Hardly. We can remain retarded far longer than they can remain solvent.
 
Alright lets be honest here, Whites were never going to make South Africa a better place, there's a reason Apartheid was put in place for decades, this isn't exactly the same as the migration currently happening to Europe.
Newsflash; but the people migrating to Europe and North America definitely aren't making Europe and North America better.

Explain the ones you think we have.

This is literally the most generic nonsense I've ever read and I hope you're trolling.
