Trump thinks and wants us to be the 51st State and that will never happen. He does not know what Canadians are made of. We fought in WW2 before they could even decide whether to shit or get off the pot. Canadians were one of the most feared forces on earth and we would rather die than bow down to that prick! You will never take over Canada!

Because it's TRUE. 😆

*BRITISH WRITER PENS THE BEST DESCRIPTION OF TRUMP*
Someone asked "Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?" Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England wrote the following response:

A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed.
So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump's limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.
Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever.
I don't say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman.
But with Trump, it's a fact. He doesn't even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty. Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers.
And scarily, he doesn't just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness. There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It's all surface.
Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don't. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He's not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He's more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.
And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead.
There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless or female – and he kicks them when they are down. So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think 'Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy' is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that:
• Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and most are.
• You don't need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man.
This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss.
After all, it's impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump.

Madyar Has Broken Through Into Russian Territory! A Special Unit Is Conducting a Large-Scale Operation Across Russia

St. Petersburg was only the warm-up.

According to new reports, Madyar and his special unit have successfully penetrated deep behind Russian lines and launched one of the largest sabotage operations of the war. Ukrainian fighters are reportedly attacking military bases, tank depots, and airfields across Russian territory simultaneously.

Powerful explosions are already being reported throughout Russia. Tank bases, ammunition depots, fuel terminals, and airfields are said to be burning. Military equipment has been hit particularly hard, with dozens—or possibly even hundreds—of Russian tanks and other armored vehicles reportedly destroyed.

Madyar's special unit is operating boldly and aggressively, striking in places where Russian forces least expected. The enemy is said to be in complete panic, unable to understand how Ukrainian fighters managed to penetrate so deeply into their territory and create such chaos.

🔥 Reports indicate the Russian guided-missile corvette Boyky has been damaged in Kronstadt, near Putin’s hometown of St. Petersburg.

If confirmed, Ukraine has struck a warship tasked with protecting Russia’s Baltic approaches hundreds of kilometres from the front.

From oil depots to naval assets, Ukrainian drones are steadily proving that distance is no longer protection, and Russia doesn’t really have any noticeable air defence.

Wow! @SenatorLujan just completely torched Scott Bessent and Donald Trump for their corruption.

"President Trump's sons signed a deal, as you know, with World Liberty Financial with a bunch of folks you sanctioned. And now, as part of this, there's an addendum that says President Trump and his kids and anyone affiliated with him, I don't know if it's current wives, former wives, people that just did transactions with him, they're off scot-free... You're telling me as the Secretary of U.S. Treasury, you don't know that the President of the United States, who I think you work for, got a sweetheart deal from the Department of Justice, who's your lawyer. You're in line for the Presidents, Scott.

"Here's a list of all the insider trading right here... You should apologize to the American people for fleecing them and giving this a way to Donald Trump, man. That's what you should do."

Richard Gere on Trump: “We’re living in the darkest moment that I’ve experienced on this planet. Whoever thought America could turn like this? Whoever thought that a maniac like this would be president and dismantle all the good things? America’s never been a perfect place, but it has a perfect ideal. First day this guy dismantled almost everything that was good about the US government and people”
