  1. "Stupider and stupider" is the governing rule, man. Imagine the dumbest possible reason to do something self-destructive. Have you imagined it? No. You haven't. It's WAY dumber than that.
  2. No....it's not even because of that. There is no rational reason -- not even a STUPID rational reason -- for us to be in ANY conflict with Canada, trade, hot, or otherwise. This is about two things: 1) Trump personally hates Trudeau, and 2) Trump is going to keep ratcheting hostilities up, backing himself into a corner until he feels that his only option is war. Because he is a TERRIBLE negotiator, with no vision of a real goal, and no wisdom, with no sane people around him to check his worst impulses.
  3. You will buy all of your food from the only approved seller, XGroceries. The food will be manufactured by the only approved manufacturer, XFoodCo. You will submit, peasants.
  4. When my ancient gas mower finally fell apart, I bought a rechargeable electric mower. It rocks. Can’t believe it took me that long.
  5. Oh, I definitely saw that (the realignment of the US with Russia, completely destabilizing Europe and incentivizing multiple states to nuclear arm right quick). But that was easy-pickings, prediction-wise. War. With Canada. Come on, who the fuck saw that coming? It's completely and totally insane -- I can't even come up with a CORRUPT reason for it. It's nothing but the product of an insane madman's mind, spinning out shit at the speed of light.
  6. Also....petition to change the thread title from "Trump's America" to "Trump v. America."
  7. "War with Canada?" Yeah....even my imagination failed to go to that extreme, I admit it.
  8. I AM thinking positive. Think of it this way: in the coming war of US v. Canada, you can think of it negatively (a US war of conquest against Canada) or positively (a Canadian war of liberation for the US). I'll be just fine living in the Canadian-occupied US. We'll need some global help with reconstruction (a new Marshall plan), that sort of stuff. I'll happily work to assist those efforts in conjunction with our liberators.
  9. It's the endgame. I honestly didn't see this degree of shit coming. But....look up. It's coming.
  10. Depends. Any joints in the hood that sell a great deconstructed burger?
  11. We are headed to a depression, and war. Against our closest allies. We are not yet 60 days into this administration. This nation may not make it to the 120 day mark. If conversations among senior military officers are not yet happening about what to do when it all falls apart and he orders them to kill Canadian troops and civilians, then our military has already failed us. We are rapidly approaching the second-to-last failsafe (military refusal to act, and then open conflict with the POTUS). The final failsafe is guerilla resistance of the people against the regime and its loyalist forces.
  12. Yet......every single one of those people starts everything they say with "I still support him," and they will 100% certain guaranteed stone-cold lock vote for him in 2028 when he runs for a third term, the law be damned. MAGAs are a cancer. They are in every organ, every bone. We do not survive this. We are committing national suicide.
  13. It all comes down to this. If you cannot convince someone with reason, the only path left is to convince them with pain. And as stubbornly stupid as they are, it's going to take a LOT of pain.
  14. And the Canadian people need to understand that they are already at war with the US regime, and they need to be on a wartime footing. That is going to involve some real pain, hardship, and sacrifice in the short to medium term. But surrender/capitulation to a psychotic despot is not an option.
  15. God has utterly forsaken us for the past decade. This is His opportunity to come through for us.
  16. I mean, I said before that it has risen to the level of "material risk," but it's now approaching "certainty" level: the US and Canada are heading for a shooting war. Read that again, and stew on it: the US and Canada are heading for a shooting war. It will be an illegal war, launched without congressional authorization. And, it will expand, rapidly and disastrously. Canada is part of the commonwealth - the UK will have no choice but to get involved. There is one failsafe left: members of the US military remembering their duty, and refusing to follow illegal orders to attack Canada and kill Canadian troops and civilians. Which will lead to an irrevocable crisis here at home - a split like that between the military and the POTUS cannot be mended.
  17. The last remaining reasons to fly SWA are dropping like flies. It's pretty much gotten down to "choose SWA if the fare and schedule are better than the other options," which is pretty much the complete list of reasons you have to choose any other airline. I fly intra-Texas for work with some regularity. That put me in a "frequent SWA flyer" category. As 1) the ability to handle more things remotely (appear in court via Zoom) has increased, and 2) SWA's schedule and attractiveness has decreased, my loyalty to their system has gone off the cliff. I'll still book some flights on SWA (they have a decent schedule to and from El Paso, for example), but not like I used to. And the charging for bags thing pisses me off. We usually fly SWA each year to and from California for vacation. I check a big cooler bag full of frozen brisket, ribs, fajitas and such to serve to family over the week. I guess I'll still get that checked free because of my SW Visa (which I guess I'll keep), but sheesh.
  18. GO. IN. FOR. THE KILL. You don't attack TO your target....you attack all the way THROUGH your target. Then, you double back, and you attack the rubble. Elon Musk has declared war on the free world. That sort of shit has happened before. It should end the same way.
  19. Cleaning out stuff at my parents’ house. Found this pic of my mom toting a shotgun on a white wing hunt in the valley, probably late 1960s.
  20. And found some pics of my grandfather in his trapping days. He worked the mountains of Mexico in the 1920s.
  21. Cleaning out my parents’ house, going through old boxes and papers, found this gem: Woulda loved to have that Model 61.
  22. This. It’s long past time to stop tiptoeing around the fact that the death of each one of these evil fuckers makes the world a better place, and should be celebrated.
  23. Having "Wang Dang Sweet Poontang" on repeat on your playlist does not = "I like Ted Nugent's music."
  24. Electing Obama president broke us. The rise of social media broke us more. Russian disinformation having free reign through said social media and now actual news outlets broke us even more. COVID broke us even more. The result.....is that this is all that's left: We are hopelessly shattered. And all the kings horses and all the kings men will not be able to put us back together again.
  25. Whatever else becomes of this thread, that this was one of the early replies gives me a sliver of hope for humanity.
