May is doing a lot of heavy lifting, it’s more about how many at this point.

He did make an exception for Russia though…

Not really, the formula they used to generate the percentages for each country means its not really intentional, the 10% is just countries the US import almost nothing from.

It will not bring equality, it just reverts to might is right.

It’s a good thing Trump didn’t pay attention in high school then.

If tariffs were good for an economy, everyone would use them all the time

The fact that so many countries have free trade agreements or very low tariffs are proof that they’re good for economies in general.

What the drunk…

Since when is renal failure a death sentence? We can keep people alive for decades without even having kidneys with regular hemo-dialysis machines. Kidney transplants are super common too.

I assume there are other significant injuries that aren’t fixable?

A lot of republicans do live in a bubble yes, they either do not pay attention to the news at all, or only get it from sources that are heavily biased or even censored.

That ain’t how the current supreme court interprets it, so let them eat cake.

If the supreme court agrees, we’ll get to test how well the second amendment helps maintain a free country.

I’m going to assume it does nothing, and all the gun deaths were for nothing.

If a woman loses even 1-2% of the vote simply due to Misogyny, they’re at a massive disadvantage. If you don’t think Misogyny exists in the “independent” voters or even in the solidly democratic voters, you’re not paying attention to reality and pretending the world is better than it actually is.

They didn’t even have lots of guns the last few times either…

Us strategy, punch your neighbour in the face then ask to borrow an egg

Brilliant strategy

Please sir, can I have some more?

Agreed, the number of refusals, defections, and just straight up surrendering would cause massive problems for any sort of invasion.

Not to mention the basic fact that there’s nothing to “capture” these days.

If they take the government buildings by force, does that change anything?

They’ve only “taken” Canada if the people start paying taxes to the US government, and that’s unlikely to happen in an invasion situation. People would just stop paying their taxes entirely. It’s not like troops could go door to door collecting, they may be able to collect it from some specific large businesses, but the rest of the economy immediately goes underground

There’s no reasonable enforcement measure for the mass riots that would occur with the number of troops they could afford to deploy to Canada. If they start ordering troops to just gun down every riot, the fight back from the Canadians is going to make Afghanistan look like a cake walk.

If they start shutting down basic functions like electricity or banking to control the population, then the number of guns Canada owns is going to become a huge problem for the troops they have here. The US military would also have to secure the border somehow as some people will try to flee into the US, and some of those people “fleeing” would then turn around and start attacking US assets in the US.

And that’s not to mention the almost million Canadians who currently live in the US, are they going to try Japanese internment camps again?

A physical invasion is just completely infeasible. He’s going to keep pushing it economically and politically, and it’s very likely he’s long gone (either out of office or dead) before Canada would cave to those pressures.

Good time to be worried now, after you voted his ass into office.

It’s not like he hid it.

I honestly don’t think the US would benefit from Canada’s non-existentence. Any sort of actual war would cause far more damage to the US than any sort of possible benefit they may see later.

Gonna make Afghanistan feel like a trial run when Canadians and sympathetic Americans fight back.

I would not be surprised at all if the white house gets burned down again if they actually attacked us.

I bet we could find someone less qualified.

It just would be difficult to find one outside of a hospital or care home.

They shouldn’t have a veto power. They should only be able to control their own choices.
