2. The planet resource extraction oligarch kings.

Drill baby drill,....

Blast baby blast,..

Pilfer, plunder, and steal.

Oh yes,... we must not forget,...

Kill,... kill,... and kill some more.

3. You forgot rape, baby, rape

That is what the Republican Party is all about.

[stopdiggin]

4. Oh, fer f*ck sake! Please !!

[Otto_Harper]

5. And shall I have to live the rest of my life

ashamed of the US servicemen who just roll into Canada for no damn good reason except they were told to? The Nuremberg defense is not going to hold water in front of the ICC.

[OMGWTF]

26. The US is not a signatory to the ICC, which sucks because if it was GeeDumbya Bush and his handler

Cheney The Dick would have been brought before them for war crimes.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

6. Wow. Cohen. knows him better than anyone. Trump is floating a "Trial Balloon"

Trump is just crazy and stupid enough to try to do that. Or he will “troll” the Canadians incessantly for the next four years.

[canuckledragger]

11. More likely that Canadians like myself will troll the dotard mercilessly.

[Seeking Serenity]

7. Substance abuse really does rot one's brain

Many such cases.

[brettdale]

8. And when he does all this

His supporters will blame the media and Clinton.

[durablend]

10. And Biden

[doc03]

9. I wouldn't joke about this. He has consistently done worse than we ever imagined

so far. He has threatened to send troops to Mexico already. He may decide he has to save Canada from
left wing radicals. He said he will use the military against American citizens if necessary.

12. It'll never happen as the military would never go along with it.

The theory of it is not outlandish as it's a typical raison d'être of fascist governments...'breathing room' as Hitler called his move to re-militarize the Rhineland.

Authoritarian regimes typically try such moves for one big reason...to galvanize their followers by giving them a cause, and to gauge who they are and their loyalty, certainly a quality important to trump.

I doubt our military whose loyalty is to the Constitution, will go along with it.

I've often thought that this 'breathing room' concept and lack of it's possibility is why the fascist movements/politicians in today's Europe have nowhere to expand and test the concept and therefore gain followers and their loyalty.

trump, whose role model is Hitler, would love to try it but the sick fuck who bungled the covid pandemic so spectacularly, is aging, has rapidly declining mental acuity and was never the sharpest tool in the shed, is just not capable of pulling it off as there will be tremendous opposition from women and men with working and capable brains.

29. Their arrogance & incompetence might be the only things that save us. That & their infighting.

The damage & harm will still be horrific. I can't believe we're just going to hand our 250-year-old experiment over to people who want to destroy it. I hope there's a plan in the works, but I don't think there is, other than batten down the hatches.

[brush]

30. Agreed. It's tragic that our 250-year-old tradition has been...

put in the hands of an insurrectionist who keeps making one after the other whack job cabinet appointments.

Hope there are enough adults in Congress and the military to ride us through this kakistocracy of an admin.

13. This makes sense based on Trump/MAGA mindset and geopolitical realities.

Trump and his minders are quite capable of thinking about taking over Canada and Mexico.

Trump forced Trudeau to grovel at MAL.
And talked about Canada being a great 51st state.
This was not just a joke.

Putin wants control of Ukraine and Europe.
Xi wants Taiwan and control of the Pacific.

Trump gets North America.

It makes sense to me given Trump and MAGA mindset.
And Russian and Chinese geopolitical goals.

[stopdiggin]

14. it's a MONUMENTAL joke

and doesn't even brush up against anything like serious thought.

[Irish_Dem]

18. You obviously know nothing about ruthless, dangerous psychopaths.

And the geopolitical plans of the also ruthless and dangerous world autocrats and billionaires.

Humans tend to learn things the hard way unfortunately.

[stopdiggin]

25. paranoid. delusional. conspiratorial. spurious ...

Nothing even close to this will ever make its way out of the White House. There might be a lot of craven avarice in the world (although I think the paranoid among us tend to overestimate) - regardless, that does not mean all those are ready to climb aboard the delusion express. (as something called self preservation)

Donald Trump will never see anything remotely like this occurring. And it's doubtful that he even has plans for such. The idea deserves every ounce of ridicule it receives.

19. Like one of my professors used to say, there are a million jokes in this world.

The jokes a person tells are a window into their psyches.

[yardwork]

33. Trump won't succeed, but he'll allow Putin and probably Xi to succeed.

The world will be far less safe and democracy far less secure once Trump gets through.

[Irish_Dem]

34. We do not yet know how all of this will unfold.

The specifics will gradually come into more focus over the next four years.

Yes of course, the overall goal is to weaken all the western democracies
and then Putin and Xi will be in control of the new world order.

[Rstrstx]

15. Finish off what James K Polk wanted?

Let’s grab Cuba while we’re at it

16. The right has been fomenting hate against Canada.

They sound like Putin. That Canada is full of white supremist nazis. Seems to be more of that ilk here in the United States.
Muskrat grandparents were from Saskatchewan. Odd but Bush Sr. Had mentioned the Trilateral Commission in a speech. Questions about whether market-based economies will be able to address climate change, digital revolution, and rising inequalities.

[usedtobedemgurl]

17. I think this is entirely possible.

How many times have we said such and such will never happen and it did? I warned my Canadian best friend about this when the lunatic talked about forcing Canada to share their water.

[Jk23]

20. I don't know... Greenland maybe? NT

[ProudMNDemocrat]

21. I keep saying this...tRump has a PRE-OCCUPATION with SIZE!

Canada is the 2nd largest nation on earth, next to Russia, when it comes to land mass.

Both Mexico and Canada have Natural resources desired by the United States. Canada also has a sophisticated Military equal to ours in many respects. NEVER would either Canada or Mexico surrender their sovereignty to the United States without a fight.

tRump is truly mad!

[milestogo]

22. So first he wants to deport all the illegal Mexican migrants

and then he wants to make them legal by Americanizing Mexico?

[tenderfoot]

23. Didn't Cohen also claim that he was going to Jail?

I am so sick of media personalities.

[Greg_In_SF]

24. I hope this

is the dumbest thing I hear today.

[Charging Triceratops]

27. Canada and Canadians want nothing to do with the shitshow south of their border

And who can blame them?

[C_U_L8R]

28. Trump feels inadequate next to Putin

Yet another small dick(tater)

[33taw]

31. How about if Canada annexes us?

[sdfernando]

32. How about just Washington, Oregon, and California??

In one fell swoop depriving orangeanus' U.S. of any and all west coast ports. Could be fun to watch.

[IcyPeas]

35. Michael Cohen??? Pffffttt who cares what he says anymore?

Is he looking for a new job with Trump? I wouldn't be surprised at anything .

I think Michael Cohens 15 minutes of fame is up. He's been cashing in on this for years now. Him and a few others.... with their tv appearances and books. What was it all for?

now, Cohen is calling for the entire case to be dismissed, according to an email he sent to Vanity Fair.

‘The American people have spoken and re-elected Donald Trump,’ Cohen wrote.

‘Accordingly, I believe we must all acknowledge and respect the office of the Presidency and dismiss the case forthwith.’

[maveric]

36. Hitler annexed Austria.

Right out of the playbook.

[Elmotime]

37. This dude needs no more attention

he is a scumbag who will say whatever he thinks will get him attention
