Grocery prices have skyrocketed. When I win, I will immediately bring prices down, starting on day one.

We will rapidly drive prices down and make America affordable again.

When you buy apples, when you buy bacon, when you buy eggs, they would double and triple the price over a short period of time. And I won an election based on that. We’re going to bring those prices way down.

Stupid ass already back tracking.

I’d like to bring them down. It’s hard to bring things down once they’re up. You know, it’s very hard. But I think that they will.

If only he did this with Project 2025. Sadly, apples and eggs don't stroke his ego.

From the guy who brought you "Nobody knew health care was so complicated" last time he was in power, this should be a surprise only to dumb people.

I suspect his promises to curb immigration will similarly collapse in short order, just as they did here in Brexitland.

Nah, he's decided he does know something about Project 2025 because in his words, now some of it is "very good and very conservative".

I imagine the closest to a collapse there will be is him carrying out deportations for a month max, and then realize it's ****** over major backers b/c they rely on the undocumented labor force that feeds their businesses, so he'll stop and try to call it a "victory" that only he could have done in a couple weeks time.

All he's likely looking for is some press footage of people being loaded onto a bus and maybe some soundbytes from the hick sheriffs who dragged them out of their houses, and he can just have that replayed on Fox News a couple times a year to prove to the lowest common denominator that it's a "huge win, absolutely terrific outcome for Americans", even though there's no way to verify anything's actually being done one way or another.

Talk about someone who ended up taking the message in my sig to extremes, even if his "writing" appears to have been done with the equivalent of a Chicago typewriter.

Enough Peters On Spam was a strange name for a subreddit until I had read the exchange.

CamelCase ironically makes such language easier to understand but I know it's reddit's formatting.

I've played Among Us and I haven't assassinated anyone.

Hell, I've played Assassin's Creed and I haven't assassinated anyone.

Unless I'm the weird one.

I've played Assassins Creed 2 and haven't assassinated anyone OR learnt how to fly... yet

Trump says it’s ‘fine’ after Ford threat to cut energy to border states | Globalnews.ca

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump appeared to say it was 'fine' if Ontario Premier Doug Ford wanted to cut off energy exports to Americans in response to his tariff threat.

globalnews.ca

It seems that Trump cannot take Canada's responses to his threats seriously without appearing to be weak. Well, weaker.

• Restricting electricity exports to Michigan, New York and Minnesota — each of which share a border with Ontario
• Restricting exports of Canadian critical minerals required for electric vehicle batteries and supply chain
• Restricting U.S.-based companies from the Government of Ontario’s procurement process
• Restricting the LCBO, the largest purchaser of alcohol in the world, from buying American-made alcohol

Sources in the Ford government describe the measure as “escalation maneuvers” that are still being fleshed out.

You' notice that the majority of Trump voters are not particularly successful. Many of them may be tough, but not successful. Why? Because they value maintaining their toughness over agreeable relationships which means they consistently **** themselves out of opportunities.

Several years ago a good friend of mine hopped on the Jordan Peterson bandwagon. To be fair, it wasn't long after I was on the Ron Paul libertarian bandwagon @Danoff @Omnis. Unfortunately, that friend eventually went of the deep end and became a hardcore Trumplican. I'm not sure where another friend headed off to - after January 6 I was easing off my libertarian ideals and we haven't spoken since. That was when I realized that libertarianism was a wasted effort and we were suddenly dealing with way bigger problems than anybody thought could be real.

Funny thing is, since January 6 both of their careers have blossomed along with mine and we've ended up very successful. It's almost like the politics had nothing to do with it. Everything was about philosophy.

Yes. Trump will not let his pride be wounded by treating this response with the proper respect, as a result he displays a callous disregard for 1.5 million Americans (which is on form for him) who will be without electricity.

At this point I don't think it really matters how Canada responds to him. If he invades us because of how we respond, he was likely going to do it anyway. This tariff war may be a catalyst that strengthens our cultural identity, ironically.

According to the latest poll I saw, 87% of Canadians polled were against annexation and 13% were in favour for.
