I thought the reason for trashing trade agreements and taking a wrecking ball to the Canadian economy with extreme tariffs was because of fentanyl coming from Canada at the border?

Apparently not, says Trump, from his speech at Congress tonight: “… Tariffs are about making America rich again and making America great again”.

By his own words, he has just shown his big lie.

        It’s true isn’t it. MAGAts just want to see other people suffer and be miserable. That’s how they feel better about their own shitty lives.

          Literally

          He’s not hurting the people he needs to be hurting.

          And they were already saying that in 2019

          There’s many that do, yes. My mother and stepfather are two such people. They’re willing to burn their own country down around them if it means that a few of “them” die first.

        We all know that the maga nuts will be hurt in all of this, it is common knowledge for all of us, but they can’t envision it until it literally knocks on their door. Only then, you’ll hear them crying about it, “it was supposed to affect my neighbor, not me”.

      Mass hysteria, also, there is a more boring reason. Most people aren’t really paying attention. I was at the gun store yesterday talking to one of the clerks about one of the AKs behind the counter. Mentions “ammo used to be dirt cheap but you can’t get it anymore” (steel case ammo used to come from Russia), I joke with him “well maybe not for much longer”. He responds with “I doubt it, it comes from Russia”. In my head I was like, yeah, that’s what I mean. Have you not been paying attention to Trump?

        Keep an eye out for that. As soon as you start getting that ammo you’ll know you’re under Russian rule.
