People leave town. They’re like, ‘OK well it’s a crime to camp here,’” he said, adding he believed many were in shelters.

So they’re not actually doing anything to help anyone, they’re just hoping everyone moves on and then it can be someone else’s problem. That seems pretty on brand for conservatives

While I agree this is absolutely what Trump would like to do, it seems pretty unlikely it would get to this point, and the tone of the article makes just makes the whole thing sound like fanatical propaganda.

I’m sure someone a lot smarter than Donald Trump thinks what is outlined here could work, but in reality:

A- this would quickly bankrupt the entire United States

B- it would never actually work since Canada is HUGE and has a strong sizable army

And finally,

C- no one in the United States actually wants to take over Canada. It’s a stupid idea that only the most unhinged and uneducated psychopaths would ever actually support

Lastly, I would probably be more willing to take this article seriously if it provided any real evidence of this supposed “imminent threat” and were posted somewhere a little more trustworthy than Substack

This sounds like just another way for Reddit’s corporate overlords to control the flow of information disguised as a helpful tool.

I’m so glad I left that disgusting cesspool

Are suggesting that masked gunmen randomly murdering innocent people in line at the DMV is somehow not newsworthy?

“Sorry guys, the spending freeze wasn’t supposed to be announced yet! It’s supposed to be part of a larger plan later this year meant to kickstart a ‘The Purge’ type situation which we think will be really great for the American people! Stay tuned and we’ll have more info in the coming months! Be on the lookout for Armageddon 26, and let’s make America GREAT again!”

Guess they’ll do anything to appease the new self appointed co-dictators of North America…

Clarence Thomas is a bribe accepting crooked hypocrite who falls to pieces the second the doesn’t get what he wants. How is this news? I thought everyone knew that already?

It might upset copresident Elon

That sounds a lot like when they did the reddit mural wall right after all this Spez shit started. It gave everyone an opportunity to scribble “fuck Spez” while still using the app and engaging with the site and probably making him even more money… The whole thing is just depressing that’s why I try not to think about reddit anymore lol

I’m surprised Reddit allowed anyone to ban X links since both sites are run by soulless corporate monsters

Trump is not capable of being embarrassed, he’s too stupid and egotistical for that. The only embarrassment here is for our country that such an ignoramus could be elected again

You know things are really bad when Boris Johnson suddenly sounds like the voice of reason 😰

Something run by Facebook is having issues? What a surprise…

I’m still amazed some people want Threads to show up in the Fediverse 🤢

does not carry penalties

So what’s the point then?

I suspect a lot of people on here don’t like the idea of monetizing Lemmy since that kind of defeats the whole purpose of Lemmy. It sounds more like something people would do on Reddit or Instagram

So… Basically turning your Lemmy account into a half-assed Patreon then? Pass.

Get ready, if the Project 2025 freaks get their way this kind of shit will happen nationwide as a full ban on pornography across the board. It’s just another way the party that claims they “stand for freedom” will turn this country into a puritanical dictatorship one small step at a time

Do racist bigots deserve a good punch in the nose? Sure they do! Can we just walk around punching everyone who makes us mad though? No. That would result in everyone getting punched twice a day at least

It’s definitely a fucked up sentence and he should have been released by now, but this headline is very misleading. He didn’t get arrested for “stealing a cigarette”, he got arrested for strong arm robbery. He was also a repeat offender who had previously been arrested for assault and theft. He for sure needed to go to jail, just not indefinitely
