the way they talk about DEI, you’d think nothing in America works and their economy was in the shitter (instead of the envy of the Western World)

It’s weird. The vibe cession is over for MAGA coz Dotard won but he still needs to pound the economic disaster narrative to justify his insane agenda.

So sounds like tariffs are definitely going ahead Feb 1?

WSJ says despite Trump declaring today that the tariffs are happening Saturday, the situation remains unclear according to insiders.

>>amid ongoing negotiations with Canada and Mexico, the administration appears undecided on whether to impose tariffs on all imports from those countries, the people familiar with the matter said, adding that administration officials are preparing to opt for more targeted measures instead.

Trump is still likely to announce some sort of trade action by Saturday, but it may only affect certain sectors, such as steel and aluminum. Trump may also include major exemptions, such as oil. And the tariffs could be issued using existing legal authorities instead of more novel approaches officials had previously floated, according to people with knowledge of discussions, who stressed that no final decisions have been made.

The administration could also announce new tariffs by Saturday, but with a grace period before they are implemented, allowing negotiations to continue with the continental neighbors, some of the people said.
 
If Canadians had brown skin we'd be fucked.


In some ways, yeah.

In other ways, it’s kinda the opposite. Like, for example, I think one of the main reasons Trump is fixated on annexing Canada but not Mexico is that Mexico’s full of brown, Spanish-speaking people whereas Canada’s about 70% white and full of English-speakers.
