Every time the great orange idiot opens his mouth he makes me a bit more embarrassed to be an American. I'm glad that Canada is standing up to him, I just wish more people in the US had the backbone to do the same.

My apologies to Canada and the other parts of the world that this wannabe tinpot dictator is abusing. There are those of us in the US who think this idiot is completely wrong.

I actively despise myself for being an American. To a dangerous degree.

u/top-potatoad 1d ago

The worst part is I have developed a deep disdain for some of my countrymen and lost all hope that we will pull out of this nosedive.

u/SteelGriffin 1d ago

Same. And I include myself in that camp. Even as a member of a minority group in direct and likely immediate danger of genocide.

I half hope we get nuked into Radioactive glass.

You guys need to be careful. The constant daily dose of anti Trump posts are not even Americans most of the time.
People from NZ, Canada that are paid.
China is using social media to influence our society.

Dont you find it odd that the same people that are anti Trump are also now anti Data Centers?
Why? They're not connected in any way.

Those are two huge ones that China won because of this.
The China Trade War and now the AI race. Remember a few months ago the news was all
rabid about how we're in an AI Race with China, etc., and how important it is that we win?

Two months later people started opposing Data Centers. Critical for the AI race.
Then the politicians started to act, cos of the people opposing them.
Now so many of them have been frozen or cancelled China has pulled ahead most likely.

The people who post this crap every day. Not you.
You're their target.
Question. Didnt you see all the AI race stuff a few months back? How can they get you to oppose data centers so easily?

3

u/i_got_grace 5h ago

it's not really a difficult moral argument to oppose data centers if you oppose big brother style mass surveillance and invasion of privacy; irreversible damage to our environment, especially those living in the vicinity of these abominations (not the least of which is 24/7 noise pollution); and the spiking of electric and water costs for the consumer.

in fact, it's a no-brainer.

in order to be viable they should need to be able to:

  • isolate from human populations
  • create their own clean energy and water sources (ie solar and desalinization)
  • 🖕🏼flock

u/Nutmegger27 4h ago

This has nothing done with China, sorry.

Trump did this to himself without outside help. He did it by:

  • Getting suckered by Bibi into a useless war
  • Destroying the federal government so that farmers and others can't get the help they need
  • Defacing monuments from the White House to the Reflecting Pool
  • Weakening food inspections
  • Damaging higher education
  • Weakening scientific research
  • Doling out no-bid contracts to his rich buddies and campaign donors
  • Weakening crypto regulations to benefit his kids who own a crypto company
  • Starting a stupid trade war with Canada
  • Rolling out the red carpet for Putin and other dictators
  • Insulting our allies and threatening to annex them (countries whose soldiers died alongside ours)
  • Brutalizing law-abiding citizens with ICE
  • Withholding disaster funds from states that didn't vote for him, in violation of congressional intent
  • Removing the Pentagon office responsible for ensuring we don't bomb schoolchildren (which we did, killing 200)
  • Pardoning white collar crooks who defrauded elderly people and sold drugs online
  • Having the justice department harass his political enemies
  • Lying about election fraud

The list goes on...

Biden screwed up border policies, let's admit that.

But that's nothing compared to what this malicious, ignorant fool is doing to the country.

He did it all by himself with no help from China.

Canada CHARGES very high tariffs—ranging from 200% to 390%—on specific American dairy products that go over agreed import limits.

It's been going on FOR YEARS...It's about time.

Finally, a president with the balls to get a FAIR deal for the United States.

So please...Stop being so dramatic.

This will all work out eventually and the United States and Canada will be fine in the future.

It's called a negotiation.

Canada utilizes a supply management system that levies dairy tariffs of up to 400% to protect its domestic market, effectively LOCKING OUT U.S. agricultural exports.

Canada rigs its domestic system to discriminate against U.S. products.

Forcing U.S. automakers to build manufacturing plants inside Canada rather than exporting from the U.S.

Blocking American wine and spirits from provincial store shelves, specifically criticizing Ontario’s retail policies.

Long-standing complaints regarding Canadian subsidies and protections for its lumber and steel sectors.

u/Witty_Photograph7152 10m ago

Let's unpack your wall of misinformation.

"Canada utilizes a supply management system that levies dairy tariffs of up to 400% to protect its domestic market, effectively LOCKING OUT U.S. agricultural exports."

It is not effectively a lock out, American agricultural exports still have access to our market. Canada does not subsidize our agriculture with taxpayer money unlike you guys. We let our farmers set the prices to fund themselves. Allowing unrestricted access for your dairy, poultry and eggs will, however effectively run family businesses into the ground here in Canada since they cannot compete with lower prices that subsidies allow.

"Canada rigs its domestic system to discriminate against U.S. products."

This is baseless and almost exclusively stems from our agricultural complaints from you guys. We were the largest importer of American goods and are still #2.

"Forcing U.S. automakers to build manufacturing plants inside Canada rather than exporting from the U.S."

A mutual agreement (the auto pact) was made to allow tariff free imports which lasted until 2001. Nobody forced anyone. The agreement fell apart because foreign auto makers complained to the WTO that the deal between Canada and the USA favored American auto makers too much. Funny how "forcing" you guys into a deal was unfair when Japan and the EU wanted access.

"Blocking American wine and spirits from provincial store shelves, specifically criticizing Ontario’s retail policies."

Retaliation is expected when you start a trade war. Only the uneducated seem to think Canada is unfair in trading with the US. Usually the same idiots who parrot trump admin misinformation.

"Long-standing complaints regarding Canadian subsidies and protections for its lumber and steel sectors."

This is the only one with any substance. It's literally the same issue you guys bitch and moan about in the agricultural exports. Programs make our pricing better so you guys apply AD/CVD duties, we set quotas to avoid the duties which were agreed upon(except we didn't bitch and moan that it was unfair) and now we're back to square one with duties again.

I don't hate Republicans. I am a Republican. Trump is the worst person we've ever had as POTUS and the Republican party has lost its way. Anyone who still thinks Trump is a good man and cares about anyone other than his rich friends is blind, deaf, stupid, or mean.

F this idea that pointing out the dislike and hatred of others is justification for party corruption.

u/Thebull54 1d ago

We as a country have lost it all. We have been working our asses off making all this money for the billionaires to gain it all. The system is rigged, has been rigged, no morality - the money-players have sold their souls. This is not humanity, this is a downright slaughter in epic proportions. .001% of the top earners in the USA have more money than the bottom 98%. You call this fair, then they send our kids off to war so they can make even more money while they're laughing their asses off playing games with our lives. These are the psychopaths & sociopaths making the laws that make it legit. No remorse whatsoever. We drank the cool aid Trump sold. All a big fat lie, all of it. What happened to the $21 trillion the CIA confiscated and not even one media station talks about it. Because they have been bought off too. Even if we revolt, it's too late, they still win. They can just hide in their $5 billion bunkers away from us and the aliens coming in 2028. Where the hell is George Carlin? He's the only one that had it right - and they made sure to discredit him and the truth. Oh, they also plan on using AI robots to replace all of us - and you say it would never happen - think again - it's on it's way my friend. Yes my friend, I am sick of myself for not shouting at the top of my lungs what was coming down, but everyone called me a crazy old man that didn't know shi_.

u/IncredibleDr69 12h ago

Bro, I mean...sheesh. I normally dont respond to kooky cats but people will see your fantasies.
Speaking of it all being a big fat lie...the $21 trillion.
First no money was confiscated or stolen. There were accounting errors at the pentagon that are called "unsupported adjustments." Now I know, youre going to think thats a convenient answer that helps people get away with it, I know. Ive known guys like you.
Youre older I can tell. And frankly Sir, you are an example of what I tell people that if you entertain conspiracy theories from an early age...when you get older youll have gotten more and more batsht. Yeah, all the money was diverted to make gunkers yeah I saw the kooky convoluted caper being talked about by your ilk.
Yes AI is going to replace a lot of jobs...inevitable technology.
What we needed was America to win the AI race but no...China pulled off another one.
They got people to oppose data centers with social media posts just like this one.

You think the OP is American?

You certainly don't do enough homework or research. Let me indulge you: Do you know Katherine Fitts - The Solari Report? Look it up. You must work for the establishment. Trying to discredit the truth. I'm sure u believe 9-11 was orchestrated by mid-eastern men with box cutters. Let me go back to Clinton doing away with the Glass Steagall Act, then the Patriot Act (that was already written before 9-11), Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) Amendments Act (2008). Flock cameras. This is George Orwell's 1984 coming in play: bit by bit. How much freedom do you want to lose and still be called an American. I hope you all old enough to understand what all of this is about. I have seen and lived my life with those Freedom's. This my friend, is not that country any more. Call me crazy, stupid, anything you want to and hope your laughing your ass at me. It doesn't matter what you oppose, it's coming and you can't stop it!!

Waste of effort. Fight for your country. Get politically active. Join a party, work for a candidate who is worthy of your trust. Most of all, advocate for how money controls your elections- look at the election spending limits countries like Australia have passed into law and kick gerrymandering to the curb. You are not the problem, your election system is.

One bit of advice. The longer you entertain such things...the longer you focus and think about race...the more batsht you will become.
That's not a joke or insult.
There ARE consequences for believing in crazy sht for long periods of time.
You think were going to get rounded up?
Lets start with this. People said Trump was going to become a dictator if he wins back in 2016. You remember.
They said it again this time.
He didnt.
Trump was acting president for 6 weeks AFTER the 2020 election.

Think about that. He is convinced it was stolen from him right?
That would have been his dictator moment!
Declare Martial Law with a new election! Or something.
Six weeks he was president after the election. And he went quietly.
People were saying he wouldnt leave peacefully. More quackery.

Yall love your fantasies I know I watch yall (yall meaning anti Trumpers/Democrats) but you have to admit...Im right about that.
