I mentioned before that a military coup isn't out of the realm of possibility if it becomes clear that's what he's doing

2015 that would be an insane thing to say. Even now it seems ridiculous.

But it's been 11 days man, and look already

^ Korea, but bigger?

And now this...

And the guy who got pushed out was appointed by Trump last week.

It's surreal to witness the full deterioration of America in real time and to watch the gutless elected officials on both sides allow Trump to do whatever he pleases. The only thing left now is for Trump to defy the Supreme Court, if that happens, America as we know it is done.

I totally agree. I personally think we're heading toward him defying the Supreme Court. If that happens the rule of law, as America knows it, will be done.

I for one welcome our new Chinese overlords and take back the mean things I said about their driving.

Speaking of the Chinese, I think Canada should allow Chinese EVs. The 100% tariff was meant to appease the Americans and, to a certain extent, protect Canadian manufacturers, but I think any goodwill towards the US is gone. We need to start making our own deals that benefit us.

I've gotten a decent amount of BYD and Teslas via Uber and they both seem pretty close as a passenger at least. Both feel cheap and shitty LUL

Tesla lowered the bar for build quality, so I don’t think BYD's build quality would be much of a concern.

Also, BYD is already in Mexico. They were planning to build a massive factory but backed off so they wouldn't piss off Trump but I wonder if, with the tariffs in place, they’ll reconsider and move forward with the factory.

Another factor that could benefit us is having Mexico involved in a trade deal. However, the issue will always be our domestic manufacturers. Unless BYD invests in Canada and opens a factory, it’ll still be a tough sell.

So how have the first 10 days for the American Nazi party gone...

- Elon Musk does a double Nazi salute on Inauguration day.
- Trump pardons all Jan 6 protesters and commutes the sentences of any serving a sentence already (3 of the protestors have already been arrested on child porn charges - in just 10 days!)
- Trump orders the military to repurpose Guantanamo into a concentration camp to hold 30,000 illegal immigrants.
- An airliner collides with a military helicopter and Trump (and his team) get behind the podium and make vile racist accusations that it was caused by DEI policies which were targeted towards minorities, women, and the disabled (including dwarves!)
- The acting US Attorney fired lawyers who were involved in the prosecution of Jan6 protestors.
- FBI agents who were involved in investigating Trump's crime are being purged.
- The CDC is removing gender and equity materials from their website (including research).
- HHS and other agencies who report on things like health crises (like an epidemic) have been ordered to stop reporting information to the public.
- Tried to end birthright citizenship, a right that's is in the Constitution.

Hitler took power in 1933 (he turned a democracy into a dictatorship) and didn't start gassing the Jews till the 1940s and it was while the world stood idly by as it happened.

Perhaps the only thing that will save them is the fact that enough people will bear their firearms against a true dictatorship as a last resort.

Terrorism and school shootings and the like are going to be a big fucking problem.

One of the J6'rs got fatally shot in a traffic stop days after being pardoned. I'm going to hazard a guess that he resisted and told the cop that he couldn't be arrested due to the pardon

The purge is aimed at the FBI agents that were assigned to investigate the Jan 6ers too.

Unfortunately there's quite a big overlap of the gun toting 2A folks and MAGA crowd. Who knows how long it'll take for them to think objectively.

r/leopardsatemyface is an interesting read right now.

The Supreme Court has already ruled that the President has absolute immunity from criminal prosecution. All Felon 47 needs to do is claim whatever he is doing is official state business, and he is literally above the law. In that sense, nothing he does would really be defying the Supreme Court.

Besides, the current judges are already stacked in his favour anyway, so it seems very unlikely that they will order Trump to stop doing something in the first place.

scary

America has reached that point in Sim City where you send disasters to destroy what they've built.

Day 12

Trump vows to launch trade war on EU

“The European Union has treated us so terribly,” U.S. president complains, as Canada and Mexico get nailed with blitz of tariffs.

Again, I think all other nations should just ban together, work together, and out trade war the US and isolate them.

Totally. We should just join the EU. Or even better join Ching Chong axis of evil.

Who the hell needs cars made in the US, most of us buy from Hitler, IKEA, now Korea, or Japan or Italy.

I mean technically even if you buy American cars, you’re just buying Canadian or Mexican built cars

25% on everything and 10% on oil. I say we should add a 25% surcharge on Canadian oil sold to US, see if they can survive with 'Buy American'.

EU, UK, Canada, Mexico, Brazil would be above both USA and China if you want to do a EU/Americas coalition.

I can 100% see some sort of soft coalition like this happening at least (maybe with Japan and India) as long as the idiotic Canadians don't elect a Conservative government.

Trump's FCC chief opens investigation into NPR and PBS

Is this the next step? Trying to control state media? If it is we going full dictatorship here.

If you love Canada so much bro I’d LOVE for you to move back.

I guarantee you’d become a bitter boi overnight. You’d probably live worse here than HK.

As if the liberals are gonna do shit here lol.. Turds been silent leaving the provinces to fend for themselves
