Zompist Bboard Again

I don't know about the details of this, but I'm pretty sure that the US and Canada had the one or other kind of free trade agreement for decades. Nonetheless it is a ridiculous narrative to assert that Trump is not tariffing due to tyrannical anger but because "it's only fair" and "d...

just talked to a Trump glazer tryna tell me this: if so you do know trump only did those tariffs because Canada has been tariffying that amount for years now and Trump only wanted to make it even/fair. I think that's fair, I didn't know Canada had been tariffying us that amount for years already, I...

I don't think you can ever convince the hardcore base of the opposite side (whoever that may be) in politics. Convincing people who are kind of on the fence is definitely possible, though! The most committed conservatives won't ever vote Democrat... but some of them may decide to stay home in the n...

And people thought Trump cared about drug gangs. He just let one go.

It makes me sad and scared that my mum, who works in the US on a work visa, might get randomly wrongfully detained and held in detention for being Canadian. And chances are she won't be able to go to my Aunt's wedding this summer for the same reason. They'll detain you for weeks without any word for...

And your response here seems to be that this is all the Democrats' own fault because they didn't promise a goddamn socialist revolution Where the fuck is your reading comprehension? Nobody said OR implied this. It's like you didn't read anything anybody said. We never said it was all the democrats ...

Also the Democrats are just as culpable for this turmoil as the voters. For decades they've been out of touch and riddled with deluded geriatric elites, the same as the republicans. They have no teeth and no spines, too afraid to go actually left (though they posture like they are). They continuall...

Everyone was warned about Trump, but apparently we are dumbass children that need to touch the stove one or two times before we learn it's hot.

Thing is, we all knew this was coming -- Trump et al made no secret of their plans -- yet so many people didn't vote for Harris because "eggs were too expensive". Those people can rot in hell, and they deserve to have their faces eaten by leopards, just like they voted for. If you were a ...

I don't even know how long it'd take to register (or where exactly) or when I'd find the time to get fingerprinted.

I fucking knew something like this was going to happen. Going to be harder to visit my mum this year =/

*Me, taking notes of this conversation* I was never certain about the origins of ejectives which made me quite uncertain about how frequent ejectives should be and whether there could be multiple non-geminate ejectives in close proximity to each other (either directly adjacent, or a syllable or two ...

I have the gut feeling that though everybody expects a coalition of the CDU/CSU and the SPD, Merz rather wishes to form a coalition with the AfD. At least the AfD would give him new coal and nuclear power plants, new conventional cars after 2035, and heavy restrictions on immigration, all things th...

Why does nobody learn from history?

Lack of class consciousness perhaps.

I think that that people live only 60-80 years doesn't help much either.
