The direction of society lately

[Walter Sobchak]

Fixed it for you. Snip:

Welcome to the first months of the dictatorship. If you haven't seen this coming, you're totally unaware of human history.

Donnie is out of his element.

It will be nice when our museums are filled only with good, wholesome artwork that celebrates our rich and creative heritage.

On a brighter note, the Prime Minister of Canada, Mark Carney, visited the White House today and didn't get Zelensky'd. Trump didn't disavow his desire to annex Canada but at least today wasn't horrible.

Canada and Greenland.

Similar to how Hitler wanted Alsace/Lorraine, unification with Austria, the Sudentland, then all of Czechoslovakia and then parts of Poland (at least to take back Danzig).

Alsace/Lorraine, Austria (to a certain extent), the Sudetenland and Danzig all had ethnic German populations. I'm pretty sure Canadians and Greenlanders do not consider themselves American.

Please resign Donald. You are a clown and a fool.

We should look at the Maple Anschluss from the other direction,
would Canada be interested in acquiring New England ?

Thanks to the History of the Germans podcast, I think I know that German and French claims on the Alsace region go back at least a millennium …

Please resign Donald. You are a clown and a fool.

Der Cheetoh is just the messenger as the individuals that scare me, are the ones that are pulling his puppet strings and whispering into his hollow, orange head.

Yes, but who is pulling the strings and for what end?

Peter Thiel has been mentioned previously. Elon Musk was hitting the Oval Office in hat, t-shirt and coat until he wasn't.

Plastic straws are back on the scene. And mining is being encouraged. Habeas corpus looks to be on the outer. Isolationism? It's not quite pre-WW2, but Europe has been or less told to sod off.

The administration is stacked full of yes men (and woman, seeing the AG is a woman). These are people who are doing Trump's agenda and not the agenda of some shadowy cabal (at least on the surface).

If Trump chokes on his Maccas, and Vance becomes top dog, what, if anything, changes? Does he suit 'their' agenda?
