    Just like we were worse off after the Iraq War. And the Afghanistan War. And the Vietnam War. And the Korean War. Starting to wonder who these are for.

    Greenland is now asking Trump to invade, hoping to secure a deal similar to the one Iran got.

      Us Canadians can’t wait for Trump to hand over the keys during the CUSMA renegotiations. He’s been on a roll lately. We’ll just make him a trophy or something, and he’ll give us whatever we want in return.

    As a proud Obama hater I must regretfully announce that there’s no way for me to shit on him regarding this matter. This is a sad day for humanity.

    That aside, you think‽

        He’s going to be 66 in august, but that doesn’t diminish your point at all. It’s still wild to see how much older he looked after the presidency than before.

    Yarp, what was it? $500 billion, worse! And I’m probably going to have to pay for my colonoscopy coming up.
