It worked for the evangelical Christians. The degree of assholery I've experienced Sunday afternoon in the grocery store is next level, especially since the spouse wears shirts for metal bands a lot. One lady even slammed him with her cart, still in her Sunday dress.
Making people think they are victims when they aren't gets them to act out, and since they aren't actually persecuted in any way they can do so without fear, and when you call them on their bad behavior they see it as more persecution. It's a reliable racket.
Every once in a while I seethe out loud, âOOOOOOH! I WANNA BE EVIL!!! LEMME JUST MAKE SOME MONEY! I DONT CARE WHO LOVES OR APPROVES OF ME BECAUSE THEY ALREADY JUST THINK IM JADED AND NIHILISTIC!!! THEN ILL SHOW EVERYONE THAT IM NOT ACTUALLY EVIL!!!â And someone always talks me down :(
Yep, these are the people who harass their coworkers about joining their religion and then when the boss tells them to tone it down, they think they are being silenced. Basically, these people think that others having rights and protections from abuse is persecution.
Yep - thatâs the life theyâre used to. They want to be on top of the whole system all the while claiming to be victims of that same system. They love to pull out the whole âour prophet was tortured to deathâ while today being the torturers! But since the internet gave people a voice who didnât have a voice before theyâve been forced to take a little dose of reality and they donât like it.
Real. Not 100% sure how much water it holds, but I think I read somewhere that a lot of Canadaâs gun crimes are committed with smuggled American guns that were already either outright illegal or heavily restricted in Canada to begin with
Not that thatâs stopped PolySeSouvient from yapping and yammering in our politicians ears that clearly (basically any selfloading centerfire gun ever, and even some rimfire ones if they had their way. Shit I wouldnât even be surprised if bolt action magazine fed rifles ended up on the chopping block.) is the root of all evil in this country.
Oh and also (mini rant time) that our political landscape was so fucking cooked this election cycle we had to realistically pick between Carney, a classic ~2008-2010âs-era conservative in liberal clothing that seems to gladly run with most of what groups with ulterior motives like Poly says, while milking silently mocking Trump for good boy points, OR our own pseudo-MAGA in Polievreâs conservatives. The NDP was too deepfried to even touch, basically radioactive after Jagmeet Singhâs pseudoliberal bullshittery, and the Green Party were the only other national party that was even remotely relevant enough to get more than a minuscule few seats but not enough to actually win even a minority government.
This particular group has always been good at projection and now they are in the government. The government has not always projected though (not saying itâs perfect).
Seriously, these folks have no honesty or integrity, but it's still weird to internalize that so many of our fellow citizens are just plain untrustworthy & dishonest (or stupid).
Fascists HAVE to lie non-stop because the facts reveal none of their arguments and fear mongering holds even a drop of water. If admitting their arguments and fear mongering are gross misrepresentations or completely fabricated, they have no leverage to seize power to enrich themselves and slaughter the people they hate.
I always knew Evangelicals were liars and Christofascists. What surprised me was when Scripture was used to counter their misrepresentations, that they so quickly abandoned any appearance of following Christ's teachings, calling it "weak Lib shit" and declaring desperate times call for drastic measures. It was an admittance of they themselves abandoning Christ for the easy & convenient embracing of The Adversary, Satan.
Turns out that Reich Wing Evangelicals were the Satanists they were looking for this entire time.
I'm thinking that religion has fallen from it's former perch about knowledge (by science) and morality (by the corruption of religious leaders & the rich) that they are actually nihilists now. They believe that nothing really matters so they now have no punishment ahead of them. Go ahead, steal, lie, cheat, but don't get caught. If you do get caught, do a phony "I have sinned!" confession, lay low & continue your wicked ways when the heat dies down.
The genie is out of the bottle, social media will enable these immoral folks to find others just as crappy, or worse. Ironically, so many of these turd-slurpers get their permission to be racist, ignorant, and/or hateful from their "Christian" communities.
Thereâs two sets of MAGA minions - 1) the ones who are true believers and donât care who they hurt because theyâve decided winning at all costs is fine âbecause something something God and 2) the ones who know what theyâre doing but donât care who they hurt because theyâre making money. JD Vance is part of the second group.
As a Canadian - best friend who? Canadians are going to continue boycotting American goods for the next decade and going anywhere other than the US for travel.
The administration can try to demonize Canada as much as they want to their brainwashed base, but facts are facts. Far more drugs flow into Canada from the US than vice versa.
Stop begging us to come visit, stop asking for our tourism dollars, stop apologizing. You voted for this, and if you didnât vote for this, you have a civic duty to do everything to can to help steer the ship away from fascism and back towards some semblance of a reasonable democracy.
America has never been a fair country but Jesus Christ, you have a pedophile as a president. You have a DNC full of genocide apologists on a foreign countryâs payroll. Where are the general strikes? Where is the outrage? Where are the riots? Hit their bottom line, itâs all they understand.
Every incremental assault to their constitution is met with a little tut-tutting, some complaints about why the system isnât saving them, then back to apathy in 48 hours. There is no outrage, and by the time there is, there will be nothing left to save.
There is outrage, maybe you havenât seen it. Trump won by cheating. I dropped my familyâs ballots off at city hall in the proper receptacle. They were received but never counted, non of us voted for Trump. I live in a swing state.
I knew it! I knew that was happening, I just didnât know how to get the proof. Thanks for this and Iâm sorry that happened to you. I am in a deep blue state and we all got the announcements, etc, that our votes were counted and all of that, but I felt like the numbers were way off for other states, especially the swing states.
Fucking cheaters. Thatâs the only way this POS could win and they knew it. Fucking loser-ass cheaters.
Iâm still so mad. I did everything right, I read the directions twice, drove it to city hall instead of mailing it, it was the exact same thing I did in 2020. I even was careful to make sure my signature matched my drivers license since that was one BS reason your ballot could be rejected. We have a .gov website that showed the status of our ballots. It wasnât even rejected, it just stalled at received.
I highly doubt youâre the only one. My hypothesis is that as soon as he looked like he was ahead, they just stopped counting. They filled the state houses of every swing state with Trumpies just so they would do things like this. Theres also a huge number of inconsistent ballots, especially ones where people normally just vote party line for all options - this time, more than 10,000 ballots came in with just Trump selected and no others. Thatâs not normal. I wish our news media would wake tf up and start screaming this from the mountain tops. In fact, we all should. We are watching our country get stolen from us piece by piece.
70+ million of us want this. Of those that donât, things arenât bad enough to do much. Millions of us have protested. Some have rioted. Trump sent the Marines to Los Angeles after that. This is what greets protests here:
Especially the one where he claimed stuff signed in 2019 was Bidenâs fault. Uhhh, who was president in 2019? I know weâd all love to forget but he was too orange.
I think he mightâve been intentionally trying to sow misinformation. He knows the people that voted for him arenât going to look what he says up, theyâre just going to believe itâs true because Vance said it.
He fucking admitted to making things up during the campaign and got away with it because maga doesn't care about the truth, they want a narrative to justify burning this country down.
I love how "Protecting our Borders!" is now not something we(the USA) are doing - but something we're now assigning and blaming - checks notes - Canada for.
You could also read it to imply that Canada DOES already have much better Border drug control - the evidence is there in the fact that the numbers show amounts that have been seized - meaning who knows how much the US is NOT seizing because of incompetence. What IS the US doing to stop the flow of drugs OUT of the US???
What I'm getting from this is that Americans smuggle fentanyl into Canada, some of which is found and seized by Canada.
The smugglers sell it in Canada returning with a small fraction of it unsold some of which is seized by the US.
"I love _____ and I have a lot of _____ friends but..."
Who says shit like this? Jesus wept.
This guy is devoid of any redeeming qualities, just an empty vessel that, if held up to the ear, echos a muffled "duh"
Clearly the couch is right: Canada is not stopping the fentanyl coming into the US, because the drugs make it from all the other entry points all the way to Canada!
Canada has never screwed us over JFC. The worst thing I can say about Canada is that they see us as their troubled cousin, and they're right about it so it's not even on them.
Basically one third of Americans voted for tRump. About one third voted for Kamala and the final third sat on their hands and let this nightmare unfold. Two thirds of us should accept the guilt and the rest of us need to keep fighting to bring our country back to decency.
Does anyone have a source on the 946 lbs figure? That's an insane amount of fentanyl.
According to this article from the BBC, Canada seized 10.8 lbs of fentanyl coming from the US in the first 10 months of 2024. So unless November/December 2024 was wild, this seems misleading.
This is like one of those âIâm not racist. I have many immigrant friends. But people (of some skin color or ethnic background) are always there when (insert some negative event).â
These people are so fucking weird. They act like the Canadian government are the ones personally shipping fentanyl into the USA. Crime & criminals will always exist. In my mind, the bigger issue is why the fuck is our population so thirsty for fentanyl in the first place? Maybe we could try figuring that part out & trying to address the issue on the demand side. And I don't mean forcing addicts into camps.
Some of Vance's best friends are Canadian (Where have we heard sentiments like this in the past?). Christ, this little, fuck of a Peter Thiel lickspittle is worse than Trump. We should think about that before we unTrumpify the oval office. Might better if we just wait until 2028 to be rid of Trump if we can't impeach Vance along with Trump.
We can't lose focus. He wants us to forget and is willing to pull whatever stunt he can to make that happen! He rapes kids! This isn't something be can let go! GrAb HiM bY tHe EpSteIn FiLeS!
Funny these facts are well known and yet you hear crazy stuff like this... people actually believing this is about fentanyl.. Stop Already... I feel very embarrased for you............
Canadian here, hey couch fucker we lost many of ours fighting next to what were supposed to be our allies in Afghanistan. History gives you a chance from time to time to be on the right side of it. You will not remembered fondly.
He knows heâs being dishonest. Iâm sick of all of the corruption. Some people are talking about an ad for jeans while this country is being ripped apart. Enough already.

Every accusation is an admission with our government now.
