Dear Canada and Mexico (and while we're at it, the entire world),

We are so sorry that your neighbor's president and administration are having a narcissistic, idiotic, and completely chaotic breakdown.

Apologetically,
The empathetic Americans who did not vote for this #ldf.
#ranttime 🇨🇦❣️🇲🇽

Aims42 Yes! There are so many of us that did not want this and voted for the extremely intelligent woman and non-toxic man 🙌 4d

Prairiegirl_reading As our Prime Minister said today, we aren‘t booing you. We are booing a policy that is designed to hurt us. It‘s going to hurt so many and some people don‘t even realise it. To those people I have to say, Just keeping watching Fox News, I‘m sure everything will be fine. 🙄 4d

LiseWorks I actually know that most businesses don't agree with tariffs. But for years, Trump thinks he can go back to the way it was in the 50's when America had lots of manufacturing plants. That trading makes jobs go away. But doing this to his neighbors is wrong. I personally have stopped buying American products. (Sorry guys), and apologizing is the Canadian way. Trust me, trying to find hand cream that is not made on the U.S. was hard. Lol 4d

Prairiegirl_reading @LiseWorks what part of Canada do you live in? I know some great hand cream made in Winnipeg. 4d

LiseWorks @Prairiegirl_reading I live in the Ottawa Valley and I found some from Germany 🇩🇪 4d

Prairiegirl_reading @LiseWorks 👍🏼 4d

melissajayne @LiseWorks the 1950‘s was an anomaly in terms of the way things were; makes sense that Cheeto wants to go back to the way things were during his childhood. Who doesn‘t want to go back to the way things were when one was a kid? (edited) 4d

melissajayne @Prairiegirl_reading everything will be fine until they are paying more for their gas, heating bill, groceries, etc. 4d

melissajayne Thanks 🇨🇦❤️ 4d

dabbe @LiseWorks Well, he wants to “make America great again,“ so going back to the 50s is right up his alley. Oh, and put those women back in the kitchen, too, and keep their mouths shut. Yay for you not buying US products. 👊🏻❣️👊🏻 4d

dabbe @melissajayne Agree 💯. 4d

Deblovestoread I would encourage all Canadians to not buy US products just as I am changing my shopping habits….looking at you Amazon. We need to hit them where it hurts and that‘s their wallet. @LiseWorks @Prairiegirl_reading @melissajayne And I‘m sorry the guy who is upending our life is screwing with yours, too. (edited) 4d

Prairiegirl_reading @melissajayne oh for sure! I was being sarcastic and trying not to lose it, what I really wanted to type was not kind in any way. 4d

kspenmoll 👊🏻👊🏻 4d

TheLudicReader Most everyone I know has stopped buying American. I know one person who cancelled her vacation to Florida (and is out quite a lot of money, too). At family dinner last Saturday, the whole group of us spent the whole time talking about Trump/Musk and our own upcoming federal election. The world is just supremely shitty right now. My heart breaks for the USA I have always known and loved. 4d

LiseWorks @TheLudicReader 🥰 4d

ShelleyBooksie I'm worried for both of our countries. Ive also focused on Canadian products 4d

TheBookHippie @MittenGirlPeach me too!!!! 4d

TheBookHippie @Aims42 seriously what we could have had grieves me!! 4d

marleed I am sickened by the playground bullies that make up this administration. I realize as Americans we will suffer consequences for this election, but right now I‘m just heartbroken for the negative impact this election has had on other countries. They don‘t deserve our destruction to their nations. 4d

Soft Power: The Means To Success In World Politics | Joseph S. Nye

I spent most of my time as a #longtimefed more or less in the realm of soft power. It‘s another topic I can‘t possibly do justice to in 451 characters, except to say I know whereof I speak when it comes to this area.

Pulling direct aid from the developing world, especially in the cruel and abrupt way we did so, opens up a huge space for China to swoop in. But we “need Ukraine‘s minerals” to combat China.

Then we humiliate Zelenskyy in the WH.*

Susanita * I‘m sorry for putting this picture onto your feed. 1w

Tamra It‘s shameful and short sighted. 1w

dabbe @Susanita No need to be sorry at all. I value your opinion and am here to listen. 👊🏻❣️👊🏻 I give long-distance hugs, too. 🤗 1w

Cuilin I am 😡!!!! 1w

DogMomIrene I‘m so ashamed to be an American right now. And I‘m terrified that 🍑 is going to lead us right into WWIII, but with an eye on those TV ratings🙄🤬 1w

Aims42 But yeah, women are too emotional to be president. Ugh. I hate it here. 😡 1w

ReadingVampire I am a U.S. Veteran, and let me tell you—I don‘t recognize this country anymore. I also work for the federal government, helping Veterans, and the cuts they‘re trying to make are insane. Beyond gross. Today is just another disaster with Zelenskyy. 😡😡😡 1w

AlaMich It was a set-up. You know trump has just been waiting for a chance to throw someone out of the WH and show what a real man looks like. 1w

Susanita @dabbe 🤗 1w

Susanita @AlaMich Yes. I‘ve seen that suggestion from Jay Kuo and others online. Meanwhile JD was sitting off to the side with an insipid grin on his face. 1w

Susanita @dabbe @AlaMich @Aims42 @ReadingVampire @Tamra @BarbaraBB @DogMomIrene @Cuilin I was out this afternoon (not shopping!) and on my way home I crossed over a major highway. There were people on both sides of the overpass holding signs and Ukrainian flags. I waved heartily. 1w

Aims42 @Susanita 🙌 Yay! I hope people were honking and laying on their horns too 💙🇺🇦💛 1w

ncsufoxes Zelenskyy is the one that showed the strength. He remained calm in a room full of bullies. Petty Patty & Bertha the Bully are the ones that looked like fools. They‘ll of course spin it. It‘s just astounding that he has made it clear who he stands with & the GOP will fall in line. It‘s like an alternative universe right now. 1w

ncsufoxes I should add no offense to anyone named Patty or Bertha. I just need to find alternative names besides swear words in our house. I feel like I want to vomit any time I use their actual names or hear their voices. 1w

dabbe @Susanita #allthefeels 💙🇺🇦💛 1w

Susanita @Aims42 from Bluesky (New York Times pitchbot): Volodymyr Zelensky's Oval Office visit ended early when Donald Trump and JD Vance began angrily yelling at him. Here's why women like Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton are too emotional to be president. 1w

After perusing all of the Ad Hominem attacks by this country's #ldf last week, I just can't do his fallacies anymore--at least for now.

Something maybe more fun? How about some allusions!?! I love learning/relearning these and hope to bring a new/not new one to you each week. 🤩

CBee Whatever you want to post is good with me ♥️ 1w

The Weird World of Words: A Guided Tour | Mitchell Symons

#weirdwordwednesday #weirdwords
@CBee

Probably #ldf's fallacy that he is best at is the ad hominem attack. The background picture in the image above is every attack #ldf has said against a person or a group. A picture literally is worth a thousand+ words ... and is horrifying.
To scroll through the ENTIRE list (just up until 2021! 😱), go here:

Unbelievably sad and to have the #ldf (lame-duck felon) blame Biden and his “diversity in hiring“ policy is beyond horrific. 😔🥺🤬 1mo

InkedBookworm13 @dabbe of course he will. He can't admit it's because he fired the heads of the TSA, the coast guard and the members of the Aviation Security Advisory Committee last week. 1mo

CBee @dabbe see, I haven‘t watched the news at all - of course I knew about the crash but wasn‘t aware of what #ldf said about it. I‘m so glad I have you all here on Litsy - I think we‘ll make it through the next four years if we stick together ♥️ 1mo
