I live in Californ...I mean, "Commiefornia". If Trump Special-military-operations Canada, I will absolutely join the American-Canadian war and so will most other people here.

...but there is a nuance.

Oh good. That means we must invade Mexico because so much comes over the border. And of course this means we must attack China to defend ourselves against their WMDs. Canada is the least of our (already not really) fentanyl problem, but of course Trump will seek to justify invasion that way.

At this point I only wish those rock chewers would just be honest. Just tell everyone you invade Canada "just because" in a war of naked aggression. That's en vogue anyway.

Edit: Canadians, take a shovel and start digging trenches along the entire border. 3 trenches deep, with extra circular ones around cities and logistic hubs. Place explosives on all bridges near the border. Change the location of your mobile AA systems, every 3-4 days. All of this can be done without conscription or rationing to increase weapons manufacturing and might be enough to have Canada be considered too difficult to invade without horribly losses. Plus it would be an amazing statement of rejection towards America in general and Trump specifically. Peace time is over, start digging.

Oh no! DO NOT throw things at Teslas from the sides, as the cameras won't see you. DO NOT conceal your face while throwing a molotov cocktail, which would make it pretty much impossible to catch you unless someone follows you.

That was the turning point, wasn't it.

See Donald, I'm reasonable. All I want is the complete capitulation of Ukraine and Europe too please, as well as the abolishment of any and all sphere of influence the US lays claim on on this planet. If you're surrendering like a good little dog, we can hold joint hockey games where we get to laugh in American faces in-person instead of just online.

If this keeps up, no insurance company will insure Teslas anymore. I'm fairly sure the prices for that have already gone up and will continue to do so. It's a high-risk asset now.

Elon doesn't get anything. Well unless the troglodyte having his Tesla just burned down goes out and buys another in hopes this one won't combust or see him on the wrong side of a mob.

This is how you virtue signal on the right. If there was anything juicy in those files it would have been headlined by the White House already. His idiot followers now pat themselves on the back for this "great win against the swamp", while never reading a single line themselves from the records and forgetting all about it by tomorrow. Great distraction, but now I'm curios what Trump is trying to distract from.

We peacefully transitioned into a technocracy with a wanna-be dictator idiot at the helm.

As an exercise for anyone reading this who doesn't already know: How did Hitler got into a position of power? Look that up, don't use AI, actually check up on that yourself.

Not a legal expert, but sounds to me the entire case has been mishandled and all charges are to be dropped immediately.

If 11 million people strike, then 11 people will be fired immediately after and replaced by a different 11 million. Plus the demands are too broad to get a unified strike going. "General malcontent about the state of things" doesn't roll off the tongue. Don't worry, once things get bad enough strikes, large scale protests, riots and armed insurgencies follow automatically.

We should ban all algorithms on social media, period. Not just Xitter or TikTok, but also Youtube. You should NEVER be presented with information that a corporation has decided to force-feed you. Not just because of the obvious implication of manipulation, but also because it degenerates a person's ability to seek out desired information themselves. There is basically no young person (zoomer) left in the US who still knows how to look up information from sources or find desired media themselves. Everyone relies on their start-page recommendation, curated by the company. And just mindlessly scrolls from there. No one looks up information to answer questions they might have, but instead type their question into Grok or whatever, and take whatever is presented to them as fact.

And if we can't ban algorithms, then we must ban all social media entirely. Everyone gets their news from a newspaper thrown at their door, 2 weeks out of date. You might not believe it, but that unironically would solve almost all issues plaguing the world right now. It's just that we don't want to give up the positives aspects and entertainment, too.
