As Trump Tariffs Loom, White House Eyes Costly Farmer Bailouts
The Trump administration has discussed providing financial aid for farmers who may be subject to retaliation by Americaโs trading partners.
Ensuring nobody gets food they didn't "deserve" or "earn", the administration will now just GIVE money to farmers for the food they are NOW throwing away: www.nytimes.com/2025/03/31/u...
Note: they are SHOCKED that canceling $40 BILLION in food orders, led to food growers being short on orders!

Did you receive a grant from the EPA for a climate change project? The FBI might charge you with fraud. For receiving a government grant. That you applied for. In every way legally.
"If you apply for something you might end up in jail, you'll find out LATER" is a special way of eroding trust in gov

Or our right to exist. Seriously, America would make a better #4thTerritory than Canada would a new state :p

I made this comment elsewhere, but people forget how deep the Canadian anger is at injustice, because for nearly 200 years it's exclusively been focused on helping others.
That just builds the "nice Canadian" mythos.
We will 1000% not be nice towards attacks on our identity. #Welcome4thTerritory

2/2 Sure the US will always win at air superiority, but it's hard to invade with planes and bombs, as the US should have learned by now in Afghanistan, Iraq, Korea, pretty much anywhere that requires ground forces. Note: controlling the flow of ground troops is how we won the LAST US/Canada war!

I don't think people remember how nuts Canadians can be when pushed into a corner.
The US would fail at an invasion for one reason: we'd blow up the handful (and it is a handful) of the bridges linking the two countries. 1/2

"Oh you want Next Steps, well here are some steps you can walk off a short pier!" was the basic response like Columbia was being a surly child.

๐ฅ The administration is making dangerous moves: denying citizenship to U.S.-born children, gutting the Postal Service, plotting mass deportations, and threatening annexation of Greenland while drawing up plans for increased troop presence in Panama.

Feel free to come. You and your family will be welcome, but I don't think you need to worry about going to war or picking up arms or defending Canada or dying! Maybe, the best way to defend Canada is by understanding why that isn't our default position!

I figured Tod would have seen it already since was on Bloomberg otherwise I'd have tagged him. Like, seriously, I'm planning 5 work trips to US, but now I... what? I dunno.
I'm not sure if there's a more efficient way to fuckup two partner countries' relationship!

I doubt anyone would argue US shouldn't be able to deport immigrants convicted of crimes.
So, why deport someone who is NOT convicted? It's the antithesis of "only going after criminals illegal immigrants", unless you can just define "criminal" retroactively?

When S4 of #TheBoys drops and you realize you only watched 3 random episodes of S3... That's a weird catchup to do! Holy crap, but thankfully I DID see the herogasm episode previously so I wasn't as shocked :D

Ultimately, this whole weird thing with "we did this in the 1800s or 1900s" presuposes that progress made things better. It posits that "old"=better, not that "we learned to do things better".
So weird, to me.

This will all morph into accepting Dems worst theories, but now it's because "we have a leader we trust". Trump says "I think it'll be fine for them", and people believe it. If Biden said "this crazy new policy? just believe in me", I wouldn't...
