He already said he’s not going to lower grocery prices. He said that’s hard.

As a Canadian I’m not staying out of your politics anymore. The US electorate can go fuck themselves.

[–] Postmortal_Pop@lemmy.world 72 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Please get more Canadians to meddle here, we're not doing all that great...

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 31 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Except the yahoo trucker convoy assholes. They can go live in Florida with the rest of em.

[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 14 points 2 months ago

A lot of those trucks were rented.

Most of them were just abandoned.

What self respecting trucker is just giving up their truck?

[–] dellish@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Perhaps you haven't been following Canada's state of affairs? They're not going too great either.

[–] wise_pancake@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 months ago

Sadly no, it’s a frustrating time.

At least we might get economist mark carney in the drivers seat to fight off trumps economic nonsense. It’s improbable but that’s my new hope.

[–] beansbeansbeans@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Maybe they could take a few Canadians back? Like Raphael Cruz.

[–] Rooty@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Hard? All he needs to do is turn the "grocery prices" dial to the left. That's how it works, right?

Were can i buy these stickers?

[–] blattrules@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Please don’t put them all over gas pumps like they did.

[–] Entertainmeonly@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Where should we put them? On random grocery items that have miraculously not gone down in price?

[–] blattrules@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

As much as I’d like to throw all that back in their faces too, I feel like it’s a pretty childish way to express a political opinion by defacing someone else’s property with them and just having low wage workers have to scrape them off of whatever they’re on every day.

[–] rebelsimile@sh.itjust.works 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

“We have to fight fascism tooth and nail”

“Okay but can we not deface the gas pumps guys? Guys?”

We are fucked.

[–] blattrules@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

“We have to fight facism tooth and nail”

“Let me put a sticker on a gas pump…got’em”

[–] roofTophopper@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

I want to put them on the dirtiest truck stop toilets I can find

[–] UnhingedFridge@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

I always gotta suggest Etsy when the opportunity arises. Nothing exactly like this that I can find on there, but close enough.

Just gotta make sure you double check the sticker count and material, otherwise you're paying extra for one single vinyl sticker.

Don't Start A Populist Movement Against The 1% Canal

[–] Impassionata@lemmy.world 33 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's not a stunt, it's total megalomania and you are falling for the coping tactic of pretending he's not serious in his literal statement to expand the borders of the US north and south.

[–] usernamesAreTricky@lemmy.ml 32 points 2 months ago (1 children)

None of this is new. Trump repeatedly brought up buying greenland during the first term when it was a suitable distraction from some other issue

Focus more on his actions, less on his words. If you focus only on his words you'll miss the bigger picture and miss what he really intends to do

[–] Impassionata@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's stupid! Words are actions!

[–] usernamesAreTricky@lemmy.ml 18 points 2 months ago (1 children)

If you focus on every single one as gospel you'll be tripped up both ways. He is a walking contradiction of statements

In his first term he told North Korea there'd be "fire and fury like the world has never seen" and then the next minute was cosying up to him in a summit

He says anything and everything. He is certainly expansionist don't get me wrong, but focusing on individual statements will lose you the picture of where he is serious and where he isn't

Focus on who he appointments, what actions they take, what executive orders he signs, what he does with the military, etc.

[–] Sarmyth@lemmy.world 21 points 2 months ago

Sooooooooooo much produce comes from Mexico. Antagonizing them can literally only make things worse for your grocery bill. There is no upside for your average person.

[–] Cheems@lemmy.world 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'll never call it the gulf of America, not even if there's a fire.

[–] phorq@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 months ago

I vote to call it the Gulf of Twitter just out of spite

[–] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 16 points 2 months ago

According to right wingers, the renaming is necessary for "national security ".

[–] TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com 12 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Yeah he doesn't want the world seeing that he is begging the SCOTUS to make rules not apply to not-yet-presidents and 34 felony convictions shouldn't count to gonna-be-in-charge-guy.

[–] xia@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 2 months ago

Gulf of This ad space could be yours!.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 months ago

According to our monied overlords ... it is indeed a gulf we may never cross.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

It’s just more Freedom Fries.

Everyone knows groceries come from Greenland and the Panama Canal

You know looking at it, if Florida is the limp dick of the US, then the Yucatan is a sodacan blasting the rope that's Cuba.

[–] Nuke_the_whales@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Wouldn't it be a cleric nightmare to change the name?

[–] affiliate@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

yes but emphasis on the “cleric” part. not as much of a nightmare for the people who order the clerks to do it.

Trump isn’t in office and he’s already renaming Eurasia.

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

plot twist it actually increases it
