Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I am like 75% sure he says shit like this and then when Trudeau is like NO YOU WILL NEVER HAVE US HOW DARE YOU he just laughs that anyone took it seriously then keeps saying it

[–] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 11 points 1 day ago

He does seem to operate based on whatever would be the funniest and most ridiculous thing that he could do.

[–] QueerCommie@hexbear.net 2 points 1 day ago

Ah, but he resigned therefore your prediction must be wrong.

Little Matty couldn't get it done folks! He had a great idea. A really tremendous idea. To get America to one billion Americans. Can you imagine? One billion! That's a lot. It's really a lot. But we can do it. I think we can do it. Watch out China! It was a great idea. But little Matty just couldn't get it done. He only has one kid I think. Just one! Gotta get those numbers up Matt! But seriously... one billion Americans. We can do it though. With Trump we can do it. We just need to make America bigger. That's right. Let's make American bigger again! We'll start with Greenland. Big, big island. Then Panama. Control all those big beautiful boats. All that trade. What are they going to do? These liberal leaders might cry about it, but what can they do really? People love America. Those people would love to be Americans. Can you imagine? Scarlett Johansson's from Denmark. She loves being American. Great actress. Very beautiful, acted on Broadway too, won a Tony. Loves being an American... and so will they. And that's just the start folks. We're gonna make America great again, make it big, really really big. And if these weak leaders make a stink, maybe we'll do Canada too. What's Trudeau going to do? He just quit. Well he says he quit but I think he was fired. People in Canada don't like him very much and but they love America. And now he's gone. Bye-bye! Back to daddy Castro in Cuba. You hear that, you ever hear about that? People say he's Castro's son. They do look the same. I don't know but people say it. Castro... bad guy but great with the ladies, strong leader. You've got to give him that... but a bad guy, Communist dictator. Trudeau. Son of a dictator... And what about Mexico? There's a lot of people in Mexico! We're already going to stand up to the cartels since they won't. We're already providing security and jobs for their country. Maybe we'll make them America too. Solve the border crisis. Stop the cartels. Go down and sort it all out down there. Make it America. One billion Americans folks! We can do it. That's what we're gonna do. We're gonna make America big again! a-little-trolling

video: https://youtu.be/i6tU1PPQbKg

summary: says he cannot rule out military force because they are "vital to our security" and "it might be we'll have to do something"

when asked if he'll "also consider military force for canada," he says "no, economic force, because Canada and the US... that would really be something." also calls the border an "artificially draw line"

Who are the "experts" putting these ideas in his head?

I love how consistently the MSM do him dirty in photos.

Don't think it's intentional. It's challenging to try to take a better picture of a bag of shit

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 28 points 1 day ago

This is so funny

Fucking Greenland? No one wants Greenland

[–] The_Jewish_Cuban@hexbear.net 25 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nah that's why we're cooking up a bird flu pandemic. Ever tried to infect Greenland in plague inc? Hard af.

Greenland becoming American would make it much easier to infect
