See you are getting it. Every fucked up thing trump does has a moment you can trace it back to. Like when he got into a fight with Scotland over offshore windmills.
You are joking, but Danish confronted Trump on NATO meeting, telling him that they died in Afghanistan so it's not just that NATO participaition means money spending. And later he went on Greenland tirade.
I still can not understand that not one of these players had the balls to show him the middle finger and call hima pedo on camera. He would be the greatest star world wide.
I'm fully willing to believe that the ketchup genuinely hit the wall as a result of this interaction. Someone whom Trump admires, a man, tall, strong, athletic, and one of the best in the world at a competitive sport, has snubbed him and treated with more kindness someone he sees as a competitor and inferior. To Trump, this is a DEEPLY personal affront, causing him to lash out not at the one who snubbed him but the favoured competitor. Of course, he's not even wrong, he just entirely lacks the
I have really bad news for the eastern seaboard. If he doesn’t get over his little hissy fit you guys are going to get an electricity price shock you never believed possible. Ontario is DONE with this fucking baby shitler and you have 29 days to stop this insanity. We can’t. It’s up to you. 🇨🇦
As a Canadian I'm not as happy with Carney as I thought I'd be. I think he gets what Trump is, but while that would cause me to want to oppose Trump because I am morally driven, I think he is trying to be practical and do what he thinks will put Canada in the best position, which might mean not pissing off or even working with the evil empire on occasion. He's a banker, someone who made money off the status quo, we need a revolutionary.
Carney sucks, he's just infinitely preferable to Poilievre. He's cutting govt jobs, mandating return to office, opening up NEW pipelines instead of investing in green energy, he preaches progressivism but all his policies are austerity. I really hope Avi Lewis picks up some steam, he has a bold vision. We don't need more neo-liberal bullshit, that just continues the wealth transfer to the Epstein class
He headed up the bank of england during 2008 & the ensuing austerity programs. With that context anyone with two braincells would've seen this shit coming.
Still had to vote for the jackass (well, the liberals), lest we had more Tories in office. God I hate fptp
In an unrelated note, if you are dealing with narcissists in your life, there's a phenomenal YouTube channel TheraminTrees with videos on how to recognize and act when dealing with various types of toxic people: https://www.youtube.com/@TheraminTrees
Yeah I mean it might really just be that he is offended by having to breathe the smoke from their whole country burning as a result of the policies of idiots like him, too.
Even now they had to back to the 1930 to find a legal reason. Back then it made The Great Depression even worse and it hadn’t been used since, until now.
Eh. There are rules on how to figure it out, WTO has a bunch of them. There is some subjectivity, but it's really not just "well that seems unfair". You generally have to prove things like dumping schemes, or subsidies for industry offsetting prices to the point that it's getting sold under production cost, or something like that.
I would want to make the argument that the real diplomacy, the real courtesy, is to be seen disrespecting him now. People look up to those willing to stand up to him now, and they will reap rewards from that when he's gone.
I generally agree but I get why he wouldn't. You're in his country with thousands of your fellow countrymen. He is petty enough to fuck them over and then do dumb shit to your country.
Yeah. I can only imagine the pressure this guy was under, the conflict that occurred in his head. I wouldn't want to have to make that call about whether or not you shake the hand of Mussolini 2.0. There is no winning.
Exactly, and I think there's a certain diplomatic level snub that rings truer when you stick to strict formality and shower others with love and respect. Especially for a guy like Trump who at first accepts the hand with growing satisfaction and then realizes what is actually happening.
My grandpa had advice for tipping after bad service at a restaurant. If you don’t leave a tip, they might think you just forgot. If you tip 2 cents, they get the message.
I understand the impulse to punish bad servers, and I don't mean to attack people who agree with that sentiment, but if we look at this behavior through a class lens it gets pretty uncomfortable for me. The person being served is often the wealthier and more powerful, and they deny the poorer servant money for "poor performance"? Like, if your server is having a bad day and can't fully bottle it up inside, they should be paid less?
Interesting how you said "they should be paid less?" Because 1. The customer isn't responsible for paying the staff, the owner is. 2. There is no number 2, thats it, its the owners responsibility and burden to pay their staff members. Any other proffesion out there has this standard. Tiping culture is a combo of gaslighting and wage theft.
Gratuity is fine at face value, but when it becomes expected, its no longer gratuity, its effectively a social service tax. Ok I guess that counts as 2.
The end result of you denying tips to the workers is that someone further down the class strata than you gets less money because of your decisions. We can't wish ourselves into a world where that isn't the case. Maybe one day employers will be obligated to pay their workers appropriately, but in the mean time denying tips isn't going to help. Denying that worker tips will result in them being paid less, for now, for "poor performance" in their service to you.
If you want pay laws changed, by all means campaign for it. I don't disagree with any of that stuff, except for the implication that that means you're now - as of this moment - off the hook for tipping. As it currently stands, service workers live on tips. If they can't pay rent, that won't change the law nearly as fast as it will ruin their lives.
Please bear in mind two things. First, my grandpa was born in 1930. Second, this isn’t really about tipping at all, so much as it is a general lesson in non-verbal communication that can be abstracted to apply in a variety of situations. Like the handshake vs snub scenario.
I understand, yeah. That's why I tried to pad it to make sure you didn't think I was coming for you or your grandpa, because I'm not. My observation was just a tangential one about tipping, rather than being about the subject at hand. I think it was an applicable analogy, and I agree with what I think is the spirit of it.

Yeah, but she's not a narcissistic prick, who always needs to be the center of attention.

Yes, he is in fact that petty. He'd destroy millions of lives in exchange for not being as loved as someone else.

And like a true narcissist, can’t see or admit that his own behavior is what brings this upon himself
HeyHeyPeoplePlinkettHere
Very nightmarish since we cannot with confidence say you're joking. He really is that shallow.
OhIfIMust
He absolutely is; he would destroy the entire world for the sake of his ego, and I don’t doubt for an instant that this is why.

Yeah I mean it might really just be that he is offended by having to breathe the smoke from their whole country burning as a result of the policies of idiots like him, too.

There is no legal reason that we should have a president able to slap on tariffs with his every little tiff. Nothing should ever make that possible.
MyPotatoHasAFirstName
Unfortunately, TFG doesn’t give a single fuck about the laws, even after SCOTUS gave him a judicial bitch slapping.

Garwoodxx
The unitary executive theory is bullshit
Fendeezy
He's not supposed to. Presidential tariffs should only be imposed to protect national security or retaliate against unfair trade practices.
tentacularfleshscape
The issue then is who determines when those conditions are met
FartingWiener
It's the unfair trade practices that is a problem. That's too subjective
