    They’re pretty dumb, they keep saying “canada would be the 51st state” as if there aren’t 10 provinces

    It’s a bittersweet feeling to see their true colors come to the surface from what was always festering under the guise of “traditional values” and “conservative fiscal policies”. To refer to our country as a “company”…well that truly frames the photo exactly for how it is and how it’s been run… at everyone else’s expense for the benefit of very few. Surprise! May not like it so much now that it’s affecting sweet little ol’ you.

    Notice how even when potentially becoming self aware they still say it’s having a negative effect on “conservative Canadians” as if they’re the only demographic that would be pissed about a hostile foreign power threatening to take their sovereignty.

    This person is rich enough to own stocks. It’s good that they’re feeling some negative effects of what they voted for, but calling a 15 % dip in their portfolio “suffering” is kind of devaluing the actual human suffering that Trump’s policies are causing.

      Anyone who must be employed to survive is one of us, I’d say. Even “millionaires” understand that pressure. Still, it probably doesn’t matter if they have any realizations because they’ve all served their purpose to him.

        Millionaire is a pretty low bar these days, a salary worker reaching retirement age probably has a million dollar net worth.

          A million dollar net worth is barely enough to be comfortable in retirement in the U.S. You can pull $2500/mo from your investments, don’t forget about health care and the cost of dying. You’re also one medical claim denial away from bankruptcy.

    Even if Biden had been as “out to lunch” as they all claimed (which was so crazy it hurt to see), even if he was worse, then at least the people around him knew what they were doing.

    We’re instead now surrounded by people like the crazy drunk fox news weekend host Hegseth and "one of the victors re-writing history Patel.

    These aren’t even serious enough people to have a conversation with. I legit think they would devolve immediately into literally saying “hurr durrr” if asked about their behavior for more than a couple minutes.

      Too bad every news outlet is so terrified of losing access that they never fucking do

        I don’t even know how that’s possible, casinos are barely legal money printing machines. People drive hours to the middle of buttfuck, nowhere in many states just to gamble, and his were in major cities for Christsake, lol.

        It is very unsettling to see him in financial control of all of us again, after crashing the economy once already.

          Because it was a money laundering scam.

          He skimmed too much off the top, since he kept billing his expenses to the casino, and then they collapsed.

      Which is because he tried to put his name on all of it and charge a premium. No actual added value. Just his name. Turns out that’s not a winning strategy.

    Lol what morons. They deserved to be fleeced for all they’re worth - they’re still goddamn idiotic enough to believe Trump is a business man or that he doesn’t explicitly want the “company” tanked.
