Does someone have a citation on the threats?
I'd heard him mention he wanted Canada to join the US, I'd not heard him threatening it, nor bringing tanks to the border.

I feel a certain kind of way towards Canadians who are willing to take foreign money to promote separatist views that would be used to extract from them. I feel a certain kind of way towards Canadians who would work with our enemies against us and sowe pointless division between us
I’m about to say sounds silly but I say it often.
“He wants to make all of Canada a single state…wouldn’t you break it up into multiple states? With Canada as the 51 state be the new powerhouse? Like California? Because Canada is like a whole ass country”
And I know that’s not the issue. The issue is that he’d threaten war at all… but imagine the entirety as Canada as one single state. Also Venezuela is the 52 state. Iran and Greenland are combined to the 53 state because fuck it its nearly 5 o’clock”
Puerto Rico will remain not a state
If Canada was a state, the Republicans would never win the electoral college again. There would never be another Republican president.
And the House of Representatives would be permanently blue.
And even just 2 more senators would be a massive risk for the Republicans too. If each province was a state, it would be game over in the senate as well.
California, Texas, New York, and Canada would all be blue in 2028. There are only so many Floridas and Texas is not guaranteed.
And if the Canadians in Florida and Arizona and Nevada could vote, they may not be as red anymore either.
Canada will never be a state. But it would certainly kill the US Republican Party if it did.
I don't think you are accurately accounting for the popularity of politicians who align themselves with MAGA policies in Canada
Yeah, a few make it through, but not nearly enough to affect the chaos they want to, unlike our southern neighbours...
I’ve got bad news we are all mostly already blue. Replicocans only win because voting is a pain is the ass by design. When democrats when they don’t even try to fix things, they just put thier hands up and say “I’m so pissed but thier nothing we can do other then complain quietly to ourselves. Thats a shame.
It's kind of a pain, especially in certain districts in red and purple states where they make it intentionally hard to vote... but for the vast majority of non-voters, either they just don't care or they think it won't make a difference who they vote for.
It's as much a mind game as a foot game.
Everything is bigger in canada
Bro I live In Texas. I just saw this in all.
Everything, and I mean everything, is bigger in Texas
Except budget, taxes, healthcare, eduction, over all happiness, morals or freedom
But we’re number one in having an Alamo.
To be clear this is satire.
But we’re number one in having an Alamo.
I'm not so sure about that, the airport terminal near me also has an Alamo. I guess maybe Texas is tied for number one on that.
There’s also Alamo rental car. Don’t come at me with your “it’s called alamo” unless the most famous not Texan (Davey Crockette ) weighed your luggage.
Off topic joke I worked at a leather shop in Florida but again I’m from Texas. We sold very large knives to scary bikers.
Anyway one guy said to me “a Bowie knife make everyone think twice lol”
Me: I don’t know man, you know who else had a Bowie knife? Jim Bowie. And he fuckin died.
To be clear this is satire.
We truly live in the blursed timeline.
I felt I had to add that because we live in the crazy timeline
Edit: I couldn’t help but notice you didn’t mention YOUR Alamo? We had a whole ass Alamo and you didn’t.
Satire
pr does not want to be a state, trust me. they are better off not becoming a state
I’m aware some territories do and some do not. This is America and we are simple minded folk. If they don’t become a state than they aren’t are people. And even if they do join they’re kinda brown… it’ll still be a thing
yeah, I hear ya. racism makes zero sense lol
It makes less than zero. If I told you I was starting a new society run by people with a mole on thier face you point out that that’s a ridiculous metric
Like the phrase “don’t judge book by its cover”
Our society promotes “Judge them entirely by thier cover”
It’s not only bad it’s a inefficient way to run a society.
Keeping it a single state means fewer senators. Not that Canada is like a communist haven or anything, but they're FAR from our MAGA bullshit and they don't wanna dilute the power they've accumulated in that chamber of congress.
Also, Canada would be the 3rd or 4th highest GDP in the US if it became a single state. California and Texas have it solidly beat. NY is neck and neck with Canada.
California doesn’t fuck about. While a higher gdp than new York’s is still nothing to ignore
GDP seems to be a high score for wage slavery.
Canada does things slightly differently.
Media outlets should not repeat “51st state”.
All mainstream media does is give publicity to Chump
Why not? Let people know he said that.
Not reporting on it before Trump is how people thought it started with Trump.
I say this from the US, only shake my president's hand if you spit on it first.
"The only place to spit in a rich man's house is in his face"
On the president?
*on your hand, visibly while looking him in the eyes so he sees, then offer your hand with a smile
I don’t know that’s close to a blood bond and trump is mentally 9 years old. It might confuse him.
I seem to remember seeing posts online where people claiming to be ex-military claim to have given Bill Clinton a "stink palm" where one runs their hand up their ass crack before shaking someone's hand.
I thought it was known that a lot of NHL players vote for and support Republicans.
Mostly a league made up of wealthy white folk from upper-middleclass upper class families that tend to be conservative. Sometimes you hear of an outlier (Bobby Ryan for example). But you have to be wealthy to afford to play the sport.
I love hockey, dont get me wrong. But demographics are demographics.
Like that traitor Gretzky.
The obvious solution would be to not let American players in the league if this was a problem.
That’s wild to hear. I always thought of hockey as a sport of diplomacy. It’s heart breaking to hear the ethical hockey players are choosing a more aggressive approach to politics. The “might makes right” viewpoint.
It you are playing hockey the goal is finding a solution not just hurting people until you win.
Very disappointing.
Satire.
Hockey is globally perceived as the winter white privilege sport. Tennis is the summer counterpart though I'd argue tennis is less homogenous.
Which is weird because tennis has one of the lowest entry costs of any sport, provided your municipality provides public nets.
I always thought of hockey as a sport of diplomacy.
I hope this is a joke
The comment ends with saying it's satire.
Hockey is the sport of peace, they are all intellectuals and their opinions on politics should always be considered relevant. /s
They do have more teeth than someone from Texas… fair point.
Steve Dangle is a real one
