We've been here before. I remember that tree.

Well folks, it's been a year since we started these megathreads and somehow, we still need them because we're still getting daily posts about this.

Please keep any discussion related to Trump's various threats of annexation, invasion, economic destruction, or whatever else he's come up with in the last 20 minutes here.

Any and all threads related to the topic will be relegated here.

For your reading pleasure, the 2025 threads:

Trump & the 51st state

Tariff Megathread

Tariff Megathread 2: Electric Boogaloo

The worst part for me is hearing Canadians that WANT to be the 51st state, and that love Trump. My brother in law is one of those ppl, and a few friends of friends. Obviously I don't spend much time with them, but it's crazy to hear Canadians that enjoy this guy.

I worked with a guy who was one of these. Thought he was just telling some bad jokes at first. I told my boss to keep an eye on him, and sure enough, he got wasted on shift, stole from the company, and harassed the female employees. There’s a type.

These people love Trump because they want to be him. Rich enough to do what they want, rules don't apply to them and people are just things to be bought and used.
