So, is their actually anything from Canada or Mexico that you buy frequently to be effected by the tariffs?

The only think I can think of is a brand of sparkling water i buy for special occasions

I’ll never get over the “stolen land” type of people that ignore how truly brutal and barbaric some of the Indian tribes were. Human sacrifice, scalping, smoking bizarre shit. Can’t imagine the country would be better if we assimilated to the native cultures for some reason.

I'm especially amused by the wins Trump has delivered for things "the Left" wanted up to about five minutes ago.

ITEM: Gaza ceasefire.

ITEM: Shutting down the Enbridge Line 3 pipeline for dirty Canadian petroleum.

ITEM: Shutting down CIA-infested USAID.

ITEM: Taming globalism.

All these were goals that got "Leftists" out in the streets over the years. Their representatives didn't do shit to accomplish them. Now they're all butthurt they're getting what they wanted, but it came from Trump. Sad.
I've contended for a while that the most hard core of either side of the American political spectrum share a good number of core desires, many of them involve tearing the government down and re-creating it as a more efficient, accountable and equitable one. They just differ on the mechanics of how, and whom it's made accountable to.

We are witnessing voluntary self-destruction of U.S. soft power globally while they chastise its allies publicly.

The tankies are quite happy. Decline of U.S. global hegemony.
 
I never realized just how corrupt things are. I knew there was some corruption, but this malicious feedback loop of USAID dollars to NGOs to leftist causes and political donations with no oversight is shocking. The reaction from the left just confirms that Trump is on target.
I have been theorizing it for years, the Administrative Complex Feeds Money into the systems to grow the Administrative Complex and tell people how necessary it is.

The Army pays for Superbowl ads every year, do you think the NFL and Fox(or whoever has the superbowl) are going to let that ad money go bye bye because they dared to question Daddy Warbucks?

Biden already got an agreement with Mexico in 2021 for the 10k troops, and guess what, he didn't need to threaten with a trade war to achieve that. The MAGA crowd with the "bent the knee" shit are so funny. They really think this is a big win.
Mexico: “Trump, what do you want?”

Trump: “I want you to control your side of the border, crack down on the cartels for real, and stop funneling Fentanyl into my country.”

Mexico: “But all these things are difficult my king, what can I offer you. 10,000 troops on the border immediately?”

Trump: “If those troops are your pitch to accomplishing delivering me what I want, ok. You have one month to show measurable progress.“

Mexico: “Gracias, God Emperor.”

but having worked in the aid industry
Opinion discarded.

We do work to stabilize other countries because that stability benefits us. A Pakistan that isn’t collapsing means less of a chance that someone launches a nuke into India.
Honestly it’d be a benefit overall if those two took one another out.

This woman has such strong Chad genes that you could breed her with DJ Qualls and their sons would still come out Chads.

They could have cleared out all of the woke shit without causing this mess.
it's not just about the woke shit. and you have seen how deep every agency is invested to the point they go physical just for some nerds putting up a server. what super secret data could there possibly be they only want "the right people" to see?
that's what I mean with assigning blame, why do you blame trump and the muskrat for the "mess", and not all the people that let it get this far? because otherwise this "mess" would never happened and gaza would still get condoms for an easy 50 million.

does it suck for the legit causes? absolutely, but the swamp was willing to sacrifice those for years if not decades to leech money out of the system, it's inevitable at some point someone cleans house, and the worse it got the worse it's gonna be.

I have no idea. Certainly not Harris. Only hope the Dems have is to nominate someone competent, who isn't crazy, and is basically middle-of-the-road. Maybe Fetterman.
They have four years. If they're smart, they'll find another Obama. A random nobody who can orate well. If they're absolutely fucking high, they'll try to force Newsom through.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. They don't talk about how AOC got Involved in politics. But I'll tell you. It's through government funded grassroots programs designed to pick out young marketable leaders. They have people who go to every college and drum up protests and activism organizations by meeting with student government and tangential club owners who get them involved with Student Activism and student unions. They form state wide organizations and these people are groomed from the time they're 19 to become absolute fucking swamp monsters. That's the program AOC went to. She connected with these people through college activist activities meant to find useless puppets. She was being taken advantage of from day fucking 1. That's why you'll occasionally see her have moments of clarity where she will say something anti-establishment until Pelosi or some other swamp creatures tard wrangles her. She can't think for herself. This career path was chosen for her a very long time ago. Every squad member is exactly the same. All the young Democrats go through this. David Hogg? He's the latest and newest swamp monster. Expect more from him. He's going to be the next Adam Schiff. If she didn't fade into obscurity, Greta would be around still too.

Mexico has bent the knee.
I wanted Total Mexican Death, what a disappointment. I wanted Trump to destroy Mexico's economy with the tariffs and fuck them over for a generation. This agreement is grim, Mexico will live to see another century. Tell me that the Canadian tariffs are still on and will continue to rape the Canadian economy at least
 
So apparently the Deal (TM) the orange chimp waves in front of your deluded eyes has already been done. As in, Mexico has at least twice already done the thing Trumpy and his sycophants now parade as some great accomplishment. Like I said previously these things are usually done via phone call and are utterly unremarkable diplomatic functioning of a state. Sadly, Trumpy did not get the memo and so he sperged out and destroyed Americas reputation and neighborly relationships. For something that has already been done in 2019 and 2021.


Here's them doing the same deal under Biden:

The only servility I see is Americans presenting their lubed asses to Daddy Trump at every opportunity. Unprompted even. The entire nation is just bucks.


The Monroe doctrine no longer applies or matters. The rest is the usual nonsense. Nobody even spoke of war, only trade. It will flow around you, not towards you. I still see that Americans are unable to grasp the extent to which you are despised due to your actions and the effect they had on the world. Your influence is dead, gone. Trump killed it.
aren't you the dane that got upset that trump wanted to purchase greenland? what did he do now?
