Cost 0? Is it costing the states that are in the union 0, too?

As a proud Canadian let Donald know to go fuck himself. How bout putting that money back into the services you stripped from, say, the vets or the less fortunate.

I've seen this a ton from a friend of mine. He'll say, "if I say this they call me a whatever"

When asked who "they" are. Of it's actually happened to him, there are never any answers.

It's this media constructed collective conscious that it's actually happening to "them".

Dear America,

Every import from China is now +145%

Good luck.

Real harm is already done. I think the market is playing a guessing game called "buy before announcement roulette".

RFK has never heard of things as a kid and presumably means they're new, which they aren't.

The education secretary is talking about A1 BBQ sauce.

The VP is demanding thank yous for upholding a 1994 treaty that Ukraine was apprehensive about.

Ice is basically the gestapo.

USA you ok?

Wait a minute. This politician is bragging about how much tax income they're bringing in?

Hey America,

Instead of asking for thanks, perhaps you should do what you promised.

A nation the size of Canada played the usa like a fiddle. lol

It's pretty sad when you think of it.

Mark Parsons @realmarkp.bsky.social · Feb 22

lol states shouldn't find the federal government then. Oh, you're not going to give their money back to them?

Someone should also let him know that blue states give more than they take.
