You’re just excusing bullshit, and actions under the pretext of bullshit because there might be some silver lining, that could have been achieved with regular diplomacy in the first place.

no, Justin Trudeau had 10 years to fulfill his promises. and Governor Trudeau failed to do so. Trump fucked him up... and he deserved it. By the end Trudeau was polling at 20%.
"ya guys.. will get our military up to 2% of GDP by 2053 guys ... right after we get those 2 billion trees planted".
and the national security tariffs are not BS.
Canada has many levers it can pull in order to get the best trade deal in the world with the USA.

Smells like something‘s burning.
Did Patel really say Charlie Kirk went to valhalla ?
More proof that Trump is secretly Immortan Joe.
President by day. Harem tyrant by night.

Yeah I'm familiar with slavery, unfortunately for you Kash Patel is salaried.
I also don't think disobedience is a particularly sought-after trait in subordinates.
I would neither hire someone for being disobedient, nor because the civilization of people who looked like them a long time ago was old and independently invented writing. In fact, I think there would be something wrong with hiring some people over others based on their ancestors' contributions to math and science and date of independent inventions of writing.
Let's expand, can you tell us about your impression of the Second Lady? Does she know she's not white or would you like to remind her as well?

If we want to be precise he said that he would see Kirk in Valhalla. Seems Patel identifies as norse. He's in for a pretty big shock. It'll be like Vivek Ramaswamy all over again.

As a non-US person the first thing I think of when I hear Second Lady is Trump's current second lady since I have heard about First Lady but never second. (Though he is very old, so might not have a second one any longer.)
I did google it and found out Vance was married to an American woman with Indian background. Was not clear without looking further if that was native American, from the country India or from the Indian sub-continent.

Was Vivek the one who said he respected Ann Coulter’s right to have the opinion that he shouldn’t be President because he’s of Indian extraction?
The idea that white supremacy = Edward Norton’s character in American History X (pre-redemption) or else it doesn’t exist is preposterous. There are plenty of non-white people happy to play the role of quisling, indeed some of them over-compensate so much that they become some of the absolute worst for spreading bile.

What levers?
It’s all bullshit Jimmy, no matter how far you jam your fingers into your ears and go ‘lalala it’s not bullshit’, it doesn’t change that.
I’m baffled how you haven’t received the memo yet.
The US aren’t playing hardball to get people into line, they’re doing that and then shafting their allies anyway.
Seemingly the only historic ally this administration doesn’t show any inclination to fuck over is Israel, which incidentally has also let Israel run rings around this administration.
It’s the most obvious thing in the world, America First = we’ll posture, we’ll pressure and we’ll pump our allies whenever we feel like it.

This same idea can be applied to other areas, such as morality and ethics, in relation to statements about subjects like homosexuality and socialism.

You've over-intellectualized it. "Democrats are pro-crime" is just lowest-common-denominator lying to appeal to the half of the country that's functionally illiterate, just like accusing trans people of being pedophiles while turning a blind eye to President Epstein.

The legal system often doesn‘t work as people are taught it does.
There‘s often secondary interests that overshadow the primary interest that is to prevent the crossing of certain borders a society has declared illegal.
For all we know the countrys own stability is the secondary interest that takes precedence when people in power have violated the first interest. And it could be people from both parties.
A lot of the time the whole law-and-order act is a measure to give people the feeling of safety back.
The laws interest is primarily to keep the peace but it also means it can be blackmailed by those with the capacity to greatly disturb it, which might be why Epstein had to die.

Not of Indian extraction, she declared that he was a Muslim and was therefore ineligible. He's not a Muslim and Muslims aren't ineligible but he's nonwhite and so she declared him Arab and therefore Muslim. It was a bit of a shock to him to learn how they see him but he has now accepted his role as their lesser.
