Donald Trump is not joking about making Canada the 51st state, Justin Trudeau warns in hot mic comments

[leadore@lemmy.world]

An individual, except the President, elected or appointed to an office of honor or profit in the civil service or uniformed services, shall take the following oath: “I, AB, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God.”

There's just one problem. Who will keep and who will break their oath? Obviously many have already broken it.

BTW he's officially ordered Guantanamo to be expanded from holding a few hundred prisoners to 30,000.

The Americans who will actually follow the orders will come from red states though. I know Alaska is red but I don't think those people are the invade Canada type

[ipkpjersi@lemmy.ml]

I mean, if USA invades, there's nothing we can do.

[sith@lemmy.zip]

Canada should get nukes ASAP.

[toddestan@lemm.ee]

Canada is one of the founding members of NATO. But so is the USA. Could get interesting, but not in a good way.

[toddestan@lemm.ee]

And you'd know they'd gerrymander it into a small handful of high population blue territories and a giant pile of mostly empty red territories.

[giantchickdicks@lemmy.ml]

Hard disagree. The people can do a lot.

[samus12345@lemm.ee]

What's worrying is that the right-wing minority has control of the military.

[kalysta@lemm.ee]

He is funny. In the sense that we’re all laughing AT him, not with him.

[giantchickdicks@lemmy.ml]

As a Wisconsinite, I will cheerfully defend Canadian sovereignty. Come for us, you fascist fucks.

[karla_smiles02@lemmy.world]

Jeez. No way trumps doing this.

[giantchickdicks@lemmy.ml]

I wish Canada would start an immigration program for Americans who don't want to be a part of this shit.

I voted, I'm politically active, and I don't want to be on this ride. While I don't have a sought-after degree, I want to work for and contribute to my community. I have skills that I would be glad to contribute. I would pounce on the chance to get out of this shit hole.

[rumba@lemmy.zip]

I mean he's got to have room to hold all the people that protest

[eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

You act like he'll allow elections again, especially with large voter bases in the "new state" that would remove him from office.

Happy to see the precious metal aspect of this get pubicity, even if accidentally.

This is all about life without China.

Tawain, drones, precious metals. They're all related.

Somewhere, the ghost of de Gaulle is laughing...

[but_my_mom_says_im_cool@lemmy.world]

If they try it they will hear the snow banks talking like the trees used to in Vietnam

[nikkidimes@lemmy.world]

Did you miss the part where Trump is allegedly seriously considering annexation of Canada?

[nikkidimes@lemmy.world]

Omg, nukes and Canda annexation? Wait...are we in the Fallout timeline afterall!?
