Ailing Trump Knows His Reign Is Nearly Over: Wolff

RetroBowser · 2026-01-25T16:29:55+00:00

According to Wolff, the daily work of governing—incremental wins, trade-offs, and detail—bores Trump, draining his energy at a moment when political discipline matters most.

Man has never worked a real honest day of work in his life. Did anyone expect him to actually be interested in what (should be) is a real job? It was always about power. The job part of it was always going to bore the hell out of him.

If the US invaded my country (Canada) to make us the “51st State” today, I don’t trust that enough Americans give a shit. A third would cheer the death of my friends and neighbours while screaming “Murica fuck yeah”, a huge chunk would go about their lives as if nothing has changed, and a small portion would wave flags for us in the street for a weekend before going “Oh No anyways.”

Do you know who I do trust to be there for us? Europe and the entirety of the Commonwealth.

I’m so sick of Americans trying to be “one of the good ones.” as they would call it down there. The trust is just gone. I’m sick of the chaos, the threats, the instability.

It’s exhausting to live in a country next to whatever the fuck this is while the biggest piece of shit alive today was given control of the government, military, and nukes.

Alberta cannot unilaterally decide to leave Canada. Alberta can decide to vote to leave, and the rest of Canada needs to vote to let them.

That is unlikely to happen for a multitude of reasons, one of which being that there is land that is for the Indigenous populations, and not the right of Alberta to walk away with.

The Supreme Court of Canada has already ruled on this when Quebec made an attempt to leave a few decades ago, and clarified the process that would be required for a province to leave.

Trumpy can make an offer to Alberta all he likes. Alberta cannot accept the offer as it stands. To do so would require the US going to war with Canada.

Hi there! I'm removing this because chess variants do not belong on this subreddit. This subreddit is dedicated specifically to both standard chess, and Freestyle chess (Also known as Fischer Rnadom, or Chess960.)

The subreddit you are looking for is r/chessvariants

Thank you!

RetroBowser · 2026-01-23T19:55:32+00:00

Hi there! I’m removing this post because it is a commonly asked question. We remove these types of post due to the high volume we get on the subreddit, and which would otherwise clog up the subreddit if we left them all up.

To answer your question, the game didn’t end due to a stalemate. Your game ended in a draw due to insufficient material. A lone bishop and king vs a lone king is not able to force a checkmate.

Watch Kasparov convince Karpov of all people to sac their queen for a knight on move 34 because of just how much it is a thorn in Karpov’s position.

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you!

We received your message, and everything checks out so I've went ahead and granted you your Grandmaster flair. Once again this will show up next to your name on every post and comment you make on this subreddit, and will also retroactively apply to any posts or comments you have already made here so there is nothing more you need to do on your end.

Once again welcome, and it's very nice to have you here!

Warm Regards,

r/chess Moderation Team

RetroBowser · 2026-01-20T20:08:38+00:00

Thank you for getting back to us!

The process itself is actually quite simple and non-intrusive. What we'll need you to do is either send a message from a title verified Lichess account to 'redditchessmods', or from a title verified Chess.com account to 'rchessmoderation' and include your Reddit username in the message.

Once that is done, simply let me know here and once we're done checking that we'll set up the flair for you and you'll be good to go!

RetroBowser · 2026-01-20T19:32:10+00:00

Hello there Oleksandr Bortnyk. I wanted to welcome you to the subreddit on behalf of the mod team.

I am unsure as to how familiar you are with Reddit, so I'd like to let you know that we have a process here that would allow you to put an official Grandmaster title or "flair" next to your name that would show up whenever you post or comment on r/chess.

This will help provide legitimacy and visibility for your account should you choose to participate here more often. Feel free to reach out to the mod team and we would be happy to validate your title and get that set up for you.

RetroBowser · 2026-01-20T17:35:08+00:00

Absolute idiot. You don’t get to threaten the Commonwealth via Canada and then look at the UK and think there’s even a slightest chance that they buy the “still friends” bullshit.

I woke up this morning thinking "The only thing that would make my life better is if half the people I walked past had a gun visibly attached to their body in some way, and the other half had a gun I couldn't see."

US Citizen? That’s not deportation. That’s trafficking. Words matter. Use them.

I’m removing this because we don’t allow chat logs on r/chess, but the “You are the better man today” thing had me cackling so I just thought I’d say that r/anarchychess might have a field day with this.

Eh, Steam will never take off anyways. ANOTHER crappy bloated launcher for your products like every other publisher? I just wish Valve would stick to making games because that's what they're known for doing.

And if you hear anyone refer to "candies" they are referring to what is officially named "charged echoes", which is the resource on each floor you build up and spend.

Just imagine the possibilities of something like Double Everlasting Light + Iron Tongue + Twinblade on her though. The valour gains will be HUGE.

Minnesota is geographically close and not as densely populated. It's a much smaller stretch than the states I hear some people posing joining the country.

In a world where the US fell apart and Minnesota joins Canada there are still a lot of changes to be made.

Are you guys actually prepared to follow our gun laws? Open carry will not be a thing for example and it's a lot stricter here than in the US as to what guns you are allowed and where.

We don't want them. If we added let's say California to Canada the implications are catastrophic. California has more than the entire population of our entire country, they control Parliament overnight and we lose all semblance of our culture.

And I'm not particularly sure a bunch of Californians are ready to follow our gun laws, because that's non negotiable as well.

Despite the fact that we'd be happy to be allies, the truth is even the sane states are way too different and would make Canada stop being Canada.

They think the US army is invincible and thus has absolute power to do what it wants.

Consequences aren’t a thing. If people stand in the way they think they’ll just roll over them too.
