That too.
No, I don’t think we want one who both understands the law but yet has no respect for it. At least with Trump, we’ll probably know about most of his misdeeds and we can hope to have a chance of holding him and/or his supporters accountable. Somebody savvy? Like Nixon? No. No thanks.
I was thinking Dick Cheney myself.
That is a weird fetish, Man!
Just a bit of Canuck pushback.
Some nice responses in the article.
Proposing that Canada merge with the US in the wake of Trump being elected is like telling everyone you have an extremely awful case of Chlamydia that you refuse to seek treatment for, and in the middle of describing the symptoms asking that one cute girl out on a date.
Remember former poster sam_stone? He must jizzing his pants at the thought of Canada becoming a US state. Beyond that, there must be a couple other Albertans hoping to officially become North Texas.
I try not to remember that serial liar but yeah, he’d probably love it.
From my admittedly selfish POV, the US can have Alberta in exchange for Washington state (the wet side, at least).
Climate change denier cries on TV over losing his house to the apocalyptic fires that are happening for no reason.
Works for me.
How about you get all of Point Roberts in exchange for something a bit nicer than Alberta? Like Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands?
Rather than trading real estate, can we trade parts of the population? I mean, I’d happy take citizenship in Canada the way things are, and a bunch of Albertant wanna-be Texans can come to the US in a one-for-one swap!
Of course, I don’t currently live in Texas, but Colorado Springs isn’t too far divorced from that mindset, and if you move to the eastern or western areas away from the mountains, it’s super Texan.
I’d feel bad for the increase in crazies in my former nation, but, well… I for one would welcome (most of) my new Canadian overlords.
Is there any way we can give Texas back to Mexico? Maybe some kind of multi way deal, we get Greenland, Mexico gets Texas, and Denmark gets - something. The plan needs work.
From The Daily Show “Canada can’t become part of America, that’s the country I pretend to be from when I’m traveling abroad”
I’m up for giving Florida back to Spain (whether they want it or not), and we can grant the Dakotas to…Uzbekistan? They get Mount Rushmore for free.
Stranger
Didn’t you hear? It has a new addition and a new name: Mt. Trump. BTW, that’s a real photo. no Photoshop was harmed in its creation.
Stolen gravitas, that!
Hey.
HEY!
(damn discourse for not allowing 60-point font)
In France and briefly Britain in '86, three Americans (in different cities) offered me cash for the Canuck flag on my knapsack.
I think it’d be really funky if Vancouver Island got Austin.
This is worth considering, although the difference in population (not to mention the relative willingness to relocate) would probably leave many USians out if it were done on a one-for-one basis.
So what we would need is some sort of “exchange” rate that would level the playing field a bit. Something like one Canadian is worth, oh, three-fifths of a USian?
The Gulf of America?
