Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

He's trying to normalise the idea of the US taking control of Canada. It's utterly insane, but if he repeats it enough plenty of people will just switch off or subconscious accept that Canada "should" be part of the US.
We've all normalized that he is the leader of the US and represents all of America ..... whether America likes that or not no longer matters.
The fact that he is there doesn't go to show how unhinged he is ....
..... it goes to show how unhinged we all are.
If more Americans were to better demonstrate just how much they do "not like it", we might be more inclined to believe them.
Yes - but we will fight it. I will die Canadian than live a single second as an American.
As an American, I would defect to Canada in a heartbeat if it came to it
It's called propaganda and people fall for it. Most people are pretty gullible and will doom scroll beliing what they see or hear. 1984 shit.
I hate that you’re right. Normalization is the goal, but this is far from fucking normal. Even language like “51st state” betrays a wild ignorance of Canada and the U.S. procedures for admitting new states.
As a US citizen, Canada should not become part of the US.
It’s been 77 years since the US admitted a new state and almost 100 since we’ve raised the number of representatives. D.C. residents make up a large portion of the federal workforce and even they don’t have representation in Congress. Quite frankly, there’s no political entity in the US with experience bringing in a new state and all the logistics and legal work that it requires.
There is no path for Canadian annexation where the Canadians will be treated fairly.
I wonder where he got this plan from.
If he was really smart, he would start pressuring other countries to not refer to Canada as a nation, and start pushing other governments to stop direct interactions - but he already burned all of his bridges.
It's exactly what Putin did re: Ukraine, and it's his marching orders from his boss right now to make them not look as bad for doing it to Ukraine
I really doubt that it needs to be said a second time for the tramps and I really doubt that its gonna sound any better for normals even if it repeated a billion times!
Tramp exclusively replaced his staff with yes man, lest they would never let him do the tariffs…
This is the danger.
