We (as in the rest of the world) definitely do have a better understanding of you than you do of us. That’s what happens when a country that thinks it’s always right meddles with everyone else’s business.

It’s Pizza the Hutt. For a cheese grater, you’re not very up to date on your shredded cheese based characters.

He has so much money he could lose a billion dollars every month and still have billions left in 2055.

That must make Putin so sad, he was trying so hard.

Maybe they’re just getting people to pre pay for their own detention/deportation.

No they’re too big, instantly doubling the population wouldn’t go well. At most a Euro style partnership if a few more western states broke off.

If that’s what the articles are implying, then it’s safe to say you’re implying you don’t care because they’re Mexican.

What kind of country taxes prizes? Seems a bit ridiculous if you ask me.

I always see this stereotype but it must be a regional/American thing. In my part of Canada at least that stereotype would apply to Dodge, more specifically Dodge Journeys.

I had to look it up because we’re already able to get a mortgage with 5% down, this plan is to not require mortgage insurance on a 5% down payment loan.

No one actually “runs for Prime Minister”. The Prime Minister is simply the leader of the governing party. That is determined by the number of seats each party wins. The PM is almost always an elected MP, but as demonstrated for the past few weeks they don’t have to be.

The American government has already shown they’re happy to round up people who look like "foreign enemies"whether they are or not. If your enemy has almost the exact same demographics, all of a sudden there’s probable cause to detain anyone (I know, it’s not like they care about any due process but everything else feels like we’re in make believe land anyways).

The sad thing is on this current trajectory there will be a day when it actually looks like a hopeful, optimistic view of the future.

Growth is doing a lot of work in that sentence. I’m not debating the actual numbers of each of these countries, but if 50% of your population is obese it’s practically impossible to double while if it’s 10% doubling isn’t that crazy.

I’m in Canada and recently our food banks (at least in my area) have been getting huge donations of all the unsold American produce.

I’m hoping that the 20% includes mostly people who are just opposed (but not strongly). Still idiots, but not likely traitors.

Trump administration has frequently sparred with South Africa over legacy of apartheid

If I’m understanding this correctly the Americans’ issue is that they only have a legacy of apartheid and don’t continue it?

I wish more people would understand this perspective. Americans might be picking a fight with the whole world, but the rest of the world only has to worry about 1 country picking a fight with them.

As a resident of the Canadian portion of Cascadia I’d be in favour of a European style union of your former states and Canada. Unfortunately you’re too big and too American (for lack of a better term) heavily armed [found it] to just let you in. Maybe we could handle Hawaii but I’m sure they’d probably rather be their own country than join us which is totally fair.

The way things are going , do you think the American constitution will mean anything by 2028?
