They love being our trading partner. They don't actually want us American mutts and niggers moving there. Which is fine.
And no we shouldn't be giving them any money. We need our money for OUR infrastructure. I am tired of seeing the USA piss away money helping other nations build infrastructure while our bridges and roads are falling apart. Most of our really big infrastructure things where built in the 1930s and its all crumbling now.

And the japs also need to actually get their NATO spending to 2% and then start working to getting it to 5%.

Japan isn't in NATO.
And I wouldn't blame them not wanting us there, they operate as well as they do because it's pretty isolationist. I want that to continue. I wish we could be isolationist.
But I agree, our shit is failing hard. We could fix it, or replace it. But if we're gonna be sending money to anyone (which we will always do because winner's guilt makes us) I'd rather it go to them. Imagine it.
"Yeah, we're gonna rebuild this bridge. It'll take about 5 years and -....."

I read early on based on all the Executive Orders that the Trump admin strategy has basically been to DDoS with as many actions as possible and at such a scale that it means inevitably some stuff will fail or get delayed but that the opposition won't have the resources or ability to meaningfully deny everything.

The Supreme Court just gave the lower courts a blank check to reject everything. MAGA is dead, Jim.

And now the lawfare is apparent to even those who have denied it these past years. Is it finally time to have the discussion about our absolutely corrupt and unconstitutional judiciary?

You act as if Trump will do anything about it after his radio silence in response to getting buttfucked by the Supreme Court yesterday morning.

South Africa tells white South Africans to go back to where you belong.... America? It's offical cannon now that America is a white country for whites. Who am I to question a strong black woman.

I propose an exchange program. The United States will return 4 "Africans" to the great motherland of Africa, for each White South African. The US will even cover shipping.

I look at that picture and I struggle to see a human. Can we please reduce the amount of dysgenics we put into positions of power going forwards?

Trump is suspending most tariffs on most Canadian and Mexican goods for another month. Tariffs on potash from Canada has been suspended and anything coming out of Mexico covered by the USMCA agreement has their tariffs suspended after negotiations. Steel and aluminum tariffs are unaffected and will go into effect on the 12th. Additional tariffs have been placed on Chinese goods.

Edit: Tariffs weren't suspended forever, only delayed until April 2nd.

When Trump sits at his desk this is what he is looking at.

It's only a matter of time.

More like the last 8-10.

Yeah, it's been trending for that long, but it escalated a lot around 2019-2020. Compare Force Awakens to Last Jedi, and then the Acolyte and you'll see what I mean.

I mean, what else can you do? Isn't this the only option left?

It depends when it's new to you.
Our lot grew up in the 80s/90s Inbetween trilogies when it had already aged. Space balls was ok.

The Prequels came out when I was a kid and I think they're genuinely not good. They can be a fun watch but they're a convoluted mess with lots of dumb stuff.

You can tell the Democrats are losing because they're doing really stupid and desperate shit.

The fucking ping pong paddles, the yelling and singing, the public arguments etc. None of it makes them look competent or defiant, it makes them look petulant and petty. They're trying to look like civil rights protesters but instead they look like third world politicians from a banana republic.

It's because they're still stuck in the past.

One of the worst things the American public school system did that nobody talks about is romanticize the activism of the 1960s & 70s to the point of mythologizing it. There was an embarrassing amount of time spent on it because the Boomers were so proud of themselves for all of their marching and sign-waving. They've spent their entire adult lives equating their brand of activism with bravery and virtue, and putting into the heads of children that they can accomplish anything by emulating it.

The thing is that it doesn't work anymore. The Boomer concept of activism has been thoroughly cooped by political and corporate interests, and the only time you'll ever see that shit happen on a big enough scale to notice is because it's useful to some institution's goals. Anything that isn't will be ridiculed and demonized out of existence. Any sort of activism that isn't controlled is done purely for narcissism.

But the left doesn't want to realize this. They still want to live in a world where writing clever one-liners on a sign and singing along to faggy folk songs will change the world and put them in history books and documentaries, just like it did before.

It's the same reason they can't see the utterly dire situation Canada and Europe are in right now. They still think the smug liberal comedian bullshit from 90s & 00s is still relevant, so they can't imagine a world where the not-Americans aren't the smarter, nicer people who do everything better than America.

What's wrong with this one? I am a layman when it comes to art but the guy is demonstrating skill, technique, and creativity by using primarily black, grey, and white to make a portrait that looks pretty good. Also the portrait and description demonstrates that the artist has a self depreciating sense of humor which I can respect.

I agree, but at the same time, it's pretty goofy looking.

Its literally America's job. The Budapest memorandum signed in 1991 was a joint agreement between Europe, Ukraine, Russia and the United States ensuring that Ukraine would not become a nuclear armed state in exchange for security assurances.

As far as tariffs, I hope this is the final extension, no more kicking the can. Make them hurt and make them learn. If they're trying to kiss ass now don't return the calls for a week and really fuck them over, it's just funny how Trump accurately called out what Trudeau is doing in order to retain power.

Mexico asked nicely and said they'd work with us, and pointed out an existing trade agreement (that also covers Canadian goods) - that's what Trump wanted, someone who will negotiate for the betterment of both countries.

Canada shit its pants and can't even call their nanny to clean it up because they prorogued their parliament. I'd like to think the extension is to give them time to meet, discuss, and decide on what to do (which should be to meet Trump's demands) because if they do what Trump wants, the tariffs go away anyway.

Watching how both countries react to the same demands has been interesting, and I think Trump has given both countries plenty of notice, plenty of extensions, plenty of chances to do what he asks. If April 2nd rolls around and Canada is still playing prissy pussy, those tariffs are gonna HURT. Gonna be really funny when Mexico does what it should, prospers, and Canada withers into less than a US territory.

However, thanks for the welcome.

Most likely the suspension in Canada's case was to give time for the new, unelected by anyone but the Liberal crime family of Canada, Prime Minister to have time to either do the right thing or prove they won't.

I don’t get why 4cuck is malding over Vance edits so badly. Like /pol/ thinks it’s all a Jewish liberal psyop (and the leftists there think it’s a good thing like the right wing from the boomercons to the natsoc Chuddies hasn’t universally adopted it as well.
