So how long until Trump renames Rosa Parks Day to Uppity Bus Rider Day? 

No mind to think. No will to break. No voice to cry suffering.

Probably all talk, but in the same way, F35s aren't going to help protect us from the US.  We need nukes or maybe some biological weapons for that.  But does indicate some strain in the relationship, amusing how many Americans see Canada as being hostile here, heh.

Is why I don't count too much on people saying the US populace will rebel against Trump invading or anything forceful

100% sure US military would just follow orders and simply march forward. I have no confidence that anyone would stand up when it comes to Canada, Greenland, or Panama. This is how little trust I have in americans.

The 'Murican rah-rah-ing about having guns to oppose tyrannical government instead of shooting up schools is just silly talk. It'll be *crickets* from the gun nuts, or else they'll sign up to help with the invasion.

Eh, honestly, order the Rafale from the French, that would be more fun. Also...

Miller also addressed online misinformation that suggested the F-35s have a so-called "kill switch" that could turn off aircraft belonging to allies — or hobble their capabilities, should the U.S. government order the company to do so.

"As part of our government contracts, we deliver all system infrastructure and data required for all F-35 customers to sustain the aircraft," Miller said. "We remain committed to providing affordable and reliable sustainment services to our customers that enable them to complete their missions and come home safely."

 

Yeah, there are also no NSA backdoors in operating systems and American hardware, that's just online misinformation.

    And it'll be "thoughts and prayers" from the liberals,  as well.

    Eh, not sure you'd even get the thoughts and prayers from many of them I'm afraid. Last Trump presidency the one thing every liberal commentator and tv channel loved him doing was bombing Syria. What's the Brian Williams quote? "Today he truly became our President"? Never underestimate the ability of someone to see their groups actions as uniquely justified or to shrug their shoulders because it's all a bit too hard for them.

    The US has initiated a new bombing campaign on the Houthis 

    Its long overdue considering the last 18 months of the Houthis terrorism around attacking ships in the Red Sea  and International waters 

    Hopefully the Houthis get the message

    Crazy how compliant everyone is with this stuff. There seems to be pretty much no push back at all.

    What do you mean? Didn't you see that the democrats wore matching pink blazers and waving paddles? Ignore that some rogue texan senator stood up and shouted at trump, he's been censured.

    The Democrats are complicit. Plenty of people are angry about it, but they're probably busy sending angry messages on twatter or meta. They either need to start a general strike or use the 2A, neither of which will happen.

    Civilization, in fact, grows more and more maudlin and hysterical; especially under democracy it tends to degenerate into a mere combat of crazes; the whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, most of them imaginary. - H.L.

    I'm sure they'll just pass it off as trolling.  The internet was a mistake, everything is trolling, nothing is serious.

    Good thing we'll have J.D. or Drump Jr in 2028!

    The ending of the words is ALMSIVI.

    Looks like instead of Ctrl+F trans they did Ctrl+F equality. I wouldn't be surprised if they pulled it because at the very end it said he championed gender and racial equality.

    It's pathetic. These people and their supporters are pathetic.

    Pure idiocy. I'm sure it will do "wonders" for military recruiting. Not.

    I suspect that by that point Mango Mussolini might have found someone around the world to buy eggs from. They've tried to buy from Sweden and Norway recently that I know of.

    Think recruiting is up. Also if the economy tanks, usually more people enlist, I think

    For now, yes. The current recruiting rise starting last year, before the election. There have been increases in female and racial minority recruits. With an all-white male face though, the army may end up recruiting from a shrinking pool of candidates.

    Chances are JD Vance will take a break from playing CK3 with teenage nazis long enough to derail that because of some dip**** meme.

    Degrees of corruption occur in most countries and these ongoing Serbian protests are about the rampant corruption that Serbia is grappling with 

    I wonder if there would be less corruption in Serbia if they were part of the EU?
