This mfkr here is really unhinged!!

How can the US make Canada the 51st state when Canada (3.86 mil miles²) IS BIGGER THAN THE WHOLE UNITED STATES (3.8 miles²) ?!!

Never mind the fact that Canada has 13 territories and provinces..... with numerous cities inside of them. Yeah the US population is bigger than Canada (330 ish mil vs 38 mil) but neither US citizens nor Canadians want to "merge."

And I won't even touch the Greenland thing..... this mfkr can't be serious
huh? The 13 colonies took over Indian and Mexican land that was bigger than them.

Why try to plead to the humanity, rationale and compassion of a person or persons that have actively shown they lack all of those?

We need to make our own way now.

Time to get our communities back to their pre Civil Rights Act ways. This may be the kick we need to truly keep our dollars circulating a little bit before leaving our hands

I wouldn't characterize it as pleading. They wanted to publicly express that they were "disappointed and strongly opposed to" the removal of their story.

They feel their story should be known by everyone, not just black folks.

"They are simply a part of American military history that all service members should be made aware of."

Money grab



This doesn’t seem to be getting enough attention. The Silicon Valley social contract forced on the public by Obama and then Trump and then Biden (minus Lina Khan) and now Trump was straight forward: We will let these bros become the richest people in human history and in exchange they will develop a tech industry that makes the U.S. dominant for a century.

They did the first part, then built monopolies to try to keep out competition rather than continue to innovate at a top level, and then got out-competed by Chinese companies in both AI and social media. They are the losers we always thought they were — and now so are we.

Yes, they thought the Chinese were licks and then realized what was happening. The truth is they don’t have $500 billion. They’re not going to do it because they don’t have the money to do it because AI is a scam.

"Please rescind"

Please and plead, same etymology

The 51st state can't be bigger than the first 50 combined......

Plus it can't be a "state" if it already has 13 defined states within it already

What do those 13 territories and provinces become....? "Cities?"

Plus, there's the language and currency issue....

Man come on, why are we even entertaining this like it is plausible?

We'll get Mexico to pay for and build a wall on the border before Canada becomes the 51st state.

AI needs to be treated like Microsoft Suite upgrade. It’s a useful too to be incorporated by other useful tools.

Didn’t they kill the king of Jordan last time they were allowed to come over enmasse?

At no point in their statement did they use the word "please", so I'm not sure why you would put that in quotes.

You are correct they didn't say "please" they said "call upon." Which in my opinion is more egregious. It is vague and has numerous synonyms, the most likely of which all seem like ask/beg."

"We call upon the President and the Secretary of Defense to immediately rescind this action...."

Did they demand that he rescind his orders?
No, they asked that he rescind.


"call upon"

verb as in appeal

Strongest matches

apply, ask, call, claim, contest, demand, petition, plead, pray, propose, refer, require, submit, sue, urge

verb as in ask

Strongest matches

propose, suggest, summon, urge

verb as in beg

Strongest matches

bite, call on, hustle, scrounge

verb as in petition

Strongest matches

ask, beg, beseech, implore, pray, seek, sue, urge

verb as in command

Strongest matches

appoint, authorize, call for, direct, require, tell

Now the 5th most common/ likely use of the phrase "call upon" is listed as "command," but let's be honest...... they weren't weren't demanding/ commanding, they were appealing/ asking.

Since Don is a narcissistic manchild with a feeble mind and a more fragile ego, they wouldnt dare write a command /demand in their statement.

But they're appealing/asking for something that neither he nor his loyalist appointees in government possess.

You have to use strong language with a narcissistic, cowardly, bully like Drumpf. That's what he responds to either positively or negatively, but it cuts right to the point.

We all see what this POS is doing, we need to act more like Gavin Newsome...... don't ask him for shit. Get in his face and tell him,
"I don't give a fuck how you feel about me. Here I am, say it to my face. But then you're gonna go an do the right thing, because it's the right thing."

So...... all this talk of "Let go of Jan 6th," "it was bullshit and blown out of proportion," "there's bigger things to worry about...."
Was all bullshit.... because now we're going to waste millions trying to legally trip up and convict people that were already pardoned.....




Yet, I thought Drumpf was going to stop wasteful, frivolous governmental spending?!!

The world saw what Jan 6th was....... a "peaceful protest" it was not. Cut the bullshit Don
