Media outlets should not repeat “51st state”.

✊

I’m about to say sounds silly but I say it often.

“He wants to make all of Canada a single state…wouldn’t you break it up into multiple states? With Canada as the 51 state be the new powerhouse? Like California? Because Canada is like a whole ass country”

And I know that’s not the issue. The issue is that he’d threaten war at all… but imagine the entirety as Canada as one single state. Also Venezuela is the 52 state. Iran and Greenland are combined to the 53 state because fuck it its nearly 5 o’clock”

Puerto Rico will remain not a state

I say this from the US, only shake my president's hand if you spit on it first.

Everything is bigger in canada

On the president?

*on your hand, visibly while looking him in the eyes so he sees, then offer your hand with a smile

Bro I live In Texas. I just saw this in all.

Everything, and I mean everything, is bigger in Texas

Except budget, taxes, healthcare, eduction, over all happiness, morals or freedom

But we’re number one in having an Alamo.

To be clear this is satire.

Steve Dangle is a real one

Keeping it a single state means fewer senators. Not that Canada is like a communist haven or anything, but they're FAR from our MAGA bullshit and they don't wanna dilute the power they've accumulated in that chamber of congress.

Also, Canada would be the 3rd or 4th highest GDP in the US if it became a single state. California and Texas have it solidly beat. NY is neck and neck with Canada.

pr does not want to be a state, trust me. they are better off not becoming a state

I thought it was known that a lot of NHL players vote for and support Republicans.

To be clear this is satire.

We truly live in the blursed timeline.

California doesn’t fuck about. While a higher gdp than new York’s is still nothing to ignore

I’m aware some territories do and some do not. This is America and we are simple minded folk. If they don’t become a state than they aren’t are people. And even if they do join they’re kinda brown… it’ll still be a thing

I felt I had to add that because we live in the crazy timeline

Edit: I couldn’t help but notice you didn’t mention YOUR Alamo? We had a whole ass Alamo and you didn’t.

Satire

yeah, I hear ya. racism makes zero sense lol

I don’t know that’s close to a blood bond and trump is mentally 9 years old. It might confuse him.

That’s wild to hear. I always thought of hockey as a sport of diplomacy. It’s heart breaking to hear the ethical hockey players are choosing a more aggressive approach to politics. The “might makes right” viewpoint.

It you are playing hockey the goal is finding a solution not just hurting people until you win.

Very disappointing.

Satire.

It makes less than zero. If I told you I was starting a new society run by people with a mole on thier face you point out that that’s a ridiculous metric

Like the phrase “don’t judge book by its cover”

Our society promotes “Judge them entirely by thier cover”

It’s not only bad it’s a inefficient way to run a society.

I feel a certain kind of way towards Canadians who are willing to take foreign money to promote separatist views that would be used to extract from them. I feel a certain kind of way towards Canadians who would work with our enemies against us and sowe pointless division between us

But we’re number one in having an Alamo.

I'm not so sure about that, the airport terminal near me also has an Alamo. I guess maybe Texas is tied for number one on that.

Hockey is the sport of peace, they are all intellectuals and their opinions on politics should always be considered relevant. /s

There’s also Alamo rental car. Don’t come at me with your “it’s called alamo” unless the most famous not Texan (Davey Crockette ) weighed your luggage.

Off topic joke I worked at a leather shop in Florida but again I’m from Texas. We sold very large knives to scary bikers.

Anyway one guy said to me “a Bowie knife make everyone think twice lol”

Me: I don’t know man, you know who else had a Bowie knife? Jim Bowie. And he fuckin died.

They do have more teeth than someone from Texas… fair point.

I seem to remember seeing posts online where people claiming to be ex-military claim to have given Bill Clinton a "stink palm" where one runs their hand up their ass crack before shaking someone's hand.

I always thought of hockey as a sport of diplomacy.

I hope this is a joke

If Canada was a state, the Republicans would never win the electoral college again. There would never be another Republican president.

And the House of Representatives would be permanently blue.

And even just 2 more senators would be a massive risk for the Republicans too. If each province was a state, it would be game over in the senate as well.

California, Texas, New York, and Canada would all be blue in 2028. There are only so many Floridas and Texas is not guaranteed.

And if the Canadians in Florida and Arizona and Nevada could vote, they may not be as red anymore either.

Canada will never be a state. But it would certainly kill the US Republican Party if it did.

I’ve got bad news we are all mostly already blue. Replicocans only win because voting is a pain is the ass by design.
When democrats when they don’t even try to fix things, they just put thier hands up and say “I’m so pissed but thier nothing we can do other then complain quietly to ourselves. Thats a shame.

All mainstream media does is give publicity to Chump

GDP seems to be a high score for wage slavery.

Canada does things slightly differently.

I don't think you are accurately accounting for the popularity of politicians who align themselves with MAGA policies in Canada

It's kind of a pain, especially in certain districts in red and purple states where they make it intentionally hard to vote... but for the vast majority of non-voters, either they just don't care or they think it won't make a difference who they vote for.

It's as much a mind game as a foot game.

Hockey is globally perceived as the winter white privilege sport. Tennis is the summer counterpart though I'd argue tennis is less homogenous.

Why not? Let people know he said that.

Not reporting on it before Trump is how people thought it started with Trump.

The comment ends with saying it's satire.

Which is weird because tennis has one of the lowest entry costs of any sport, provided your municipality provides public nets.

Yeah, a few make it through, but not nearly enough to affect the chaos they want to, unlike our southern neighbours...

Like that traitor Gretzky.

The obvious solution would be to not let American players in the league if this was a problem.

Does someone have a citation on the threats?

I'd heard him mention he wanted Canada to join the US, I'd not heard him threatening it, nor bringing tanks to the border.

Get fucked. It's 3 seconds on google to find reputable articles about his threats to canada, videos of him threatening canada, or even his own fucking posts on truth social.

The only reason it hasn't happened is because his people distracted him with invading Venezuela, then threatening Greenland, then Iran, now Cuba, or maybe still Iran.

Can't you just link it or tell me what he said so i can search it, it had to take longer than 3 seconds to type that.

I feel finding an article on tanks at Canada's border would be easier to find if it was true.

Fucking moron

What’s wrong with you? There’s active‑duty military personnel deployed in Canada, yet you seem to ignore that the United States, arguably the most heavily armed and volatile nation on the planet, shares a border with Canada. I don’t care that you haven’t shown up at my door with a loaded gun and threatened me personally. The letters you sent, the posts you made, and the fact that my neighbor is armed to the teeth are already more than enough to make me feel unsafe. It’s enough to imagine our entire apartment building turning into a “crater of doom” without you even leaving your unit. That's how fucking armed you are.

You're sealioning and you fucking know it. Nobody's buying your bullshit.

No, that’s not accurate. One, reporting on what before Trump? On what? Next, using his idiot terminology as if it is legitimate does not help anything. “51st state” is a disgtusing, moronic and nonsensical phrase he uses and they are legitimizing it.

You think there will be free and fair voting under a Maga that wants Canada? Interesting.

Trump doesn't spend time thinking about the practicalities of something like this, because when he says "51st state" what he means is "The latest expansion of my kingly domain."

He has zero intention of letting newly subjugated Canadians vote. He doesn't even want to let Americans vote. These are the fantasies of an autocrat, not carefully thought out plans.
