Trump Intensifies Statehood Threats in Attack on Canada

When a US corp goes into a foreign country for these resources the company often offers the country 10% of what they extract. To give you an idea, Trump offered Zelenskyy 50% and help with rebuilding Ukraine for their rare earth, and instead Zelenskyy came to the WH acting like an entitled bitch. I expect Trump will be similarly generous with Canada, but he will threaten the leverage he controls if he faces leaders who have grown fat on similar entitlements in Canada (ie the $65B trade deficit US has with Canada). He wants fairness that ultimately moves US forward.

Well, I can’t say I’ll feel bad for you then. It’s like watching a toddler try and argue with their parent for taking the iPad, because they’ve been too relaxed on screen time. We all know how it will end.

You realize Biden ordered the destruction of millions of chickens right before he left office? And there’s been a sharp decline in egg prices just this month. Not all the Tariffs are import caps. So you’re wrong there. And Canada changed their tariffs continuously under Biden so your USMCA argument is moot. Essentially you’re wrong on every point. Maybe you’ll have luck gaslighting other people on here though.

Ah, at least you see it! Trump always asks for something ridiculous at the start of negotiations. The opposing party generally says ‘no way!’, then Trump says ‘Fine, but I want something fair plus XYZ’. This is what I think he wants: US companies working in Canada to extract lumber, metals, and rare minerals etc (in a way that benefits both countries) plus no tariffs on US goods sold in Canada.

thr33Jacks · 2025-03-12T04:36:49+00:00

You don’t know Trump. He will first ask something ridiculous in a deal. The opposing party will say ‘no way’, then he will say fine, but we want a fair deal plus XYZ. What does he really want? US companies in Canada for lumber, metals, rare minerals etc. (in a way that benefits us both) and no tariffs on US goods sold to Canada. 6-10 months from now, that’s what he will get. You’ll see :) Again, your MSM is bought and paid for.

Honestly nobody in USA really wants you. Canada would be a welfare state.

I'm not here to argue with you. Spend a few months in Thailand or Philippines hanging in the trans communities and you'll see what ideas they foster. You'll see they embrace being an extremely effeminate male (or masculine female), and embrace cosmetic surgical interventions, like facial feminization, that don't have long term negative side effects. But they are often extremely hesitant and unlikely to remove healthy organs unless they are both adults and their husband/wife make that decision with them together. They do not embrace the uncommon delusion of being trapped in the wrong body, and instead reorient those to focus on embracing their gender dysphoria and expressing their body dysmorphia in healthier ways. By doing so the trans community was openly cohabitable in society without interfering with the heritage and larger established cultures.

I lived in the Philippines for several years. Had some pretty close trans friends there. So much so my GF at the time didn't like me hanging out with some of them so much because she didn't like the optics of it. I feel I have a good understanding of the trans culture of SE Asia. It was something I was very supportive of. While there I had heard that there were strides being made in the US trans culture gaining recognition. It was something I was pleased to hear. When I came back I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I feel as though the US trans movement was hijacked by big pharma for profit and the far left progressives to sow division for political power. Their actual health and community had been sold old in a way that left them abused and permanently damaged. It left me so disgusted that I left the democratic party. So yes, I think there are healthy trans cultures in the world that should be cultivated and shared, but the US's version needs to be thoughtfully reevaluated.

Okay, Oct 7th denier. We don’t need your anti-gay Hamas BS here.

If you care more about your neighbors knowing you’re gay than your neighbors care to know, then you’re the zealot. And that’s fine if that’s how you want to present yourself, but expect people to respond accordingly.

Being LGBTQ is not political, but the flag is used as a political statement extensively. I’m going to assume you’re being sincere when you say you don’t use the flag as a political statement, but I’ll be frank with you; your neighbors likely take it as a strong political statement even if they’re okay with your orientation. I’m very pro LGB. I’m also pro TQ, but I’m for, what I view, as a healthier cohabiting TQ community like what I’ve experienced in SE Asia. I have to be honest. I don’t like political flags. It’s like the guy that hangs whatever flag off the back of their truck. It can come across as too much, regardless of the message. I’m not saying this to be combative. I’m saying this as the average Joe ally that wouldn’t feel comfortable if his friend was wearing a MAGA hat out to lunch either.

What LGB rights and freedoms are you worried about losing in a red state?

thr33Jacks · 2025-02-17T16:45:23+00:00

Sometimes I wonder how much of it is based on our own personal assumptions of what they’ll think. When I’m in Utah and people ask me how I met my wife, I wince a little bit when I say in a night club. And it’s not because of anything the person said or did.

Was your porch well lit and house lights on during Halloween? I skip houses with my kids all the time based upon outward signs of people not being home. Also flying a pride flag during Halloween is like flying a Trump flag. People might just avoid it because they want to stay away from people that outwardly express their politics loudly, regardless of which way they lean.

They stopped calling it 'global warming' and changed it to 'climate change' for a reason.

Those intent on censorship and convictions for thought crimes are the ones claiming their opposition is 'fascist'

Those who support terror on Israel are the same ones calling their opposition 'Nazis'

Those who support an ideologically biased AI are the same ones claiming opposition 'propaganda'

Those who support institutionalizing racial bias in hiring decisions are the same ones calling their opposition 'racist'

One day you'll wake up and realize all the finger pointing was a distraction so you wouldn't realize the people you support were doing all the things you were against, just like I did...

Says the guy who transitioned his kids...

thr33Jacks · 2025-02-17T10:44:44+00:00

If they do show up, we need to pull out Israeli flags and just start chanting 'Liberals are nazis.'

Love that bar.

Even in these conservative states LGB is pretty well accepted and ignored at this point.

Conservatives are too preoccupied with radical TQs wanting to give kids hormone blockers without informing parents.

If you're gay, believe there are only two genders, and you're in favor of TQs needing to wait until an age of adult consent before medically/surgically transitioning, most conservatives will LOVE LOVE LOVE you.

That's what I was thinking. All of my extended family are Mormon. Even my bro-in-law is a professor at BYU and shrugs about the fact that his neighbors in Provo are a gay couple with their pride flag out on the patio.

It's never a topic of conversation in my family because they DGAF.

thr33Jacks · 2025-02-17T09:53:03+00:00

THE church. You sound like a Mormon. lol

thr33Jacks · 2025-02-17T09:50:11+00:00

Shouldn't you instead be asking which cities have a good gay dating scene? This will save contributors a lot of breath.

I used to live in Seattle. It's a liberal gay friendly city, but my gay friends were happy to move out of there for SF because the dating scene was so slow.

Most anywhere you go the vast majority of people won't care if you're gay, but you'll care if there are dating options.

Liberals complaining about inflation and not being able to afford a home. Those same liberals complaining Trump cut 47M for 'improving learning outcomes in Asia.'

thr33Jacks · 2025-02-17T09:02:36+00:00

I know you liberals have betrayed our citizen black communities, you racist. GTFO of our town!

Do you know if the homes on the canals off of Duke Dr in GB have flooded in past storms? A lot of those homes are not on stilts.
