The Real President Threatens To Take Back The Panama Canal

[Chernosoth]

And the Suez Canal is an outdated notion. No one really needs it any more, and then there's the pesky South China Sea...,

The Suez is a level passage. It doesn't need pumps, fossil fuel, or an external water supply. But it probably will become a target during the Mideast oil, water, and religion wars.

 

[DeluxAuto]

The most amusing part of this threat is that news outlets have now been forced to tell people why the entire concept is ridiculous. Even fox is rolling it out.

President Musk is going to trade the canal for Iceland.

 

[Bn2f]

Buckle up folks - plenty more 'foreign diplomacy by the seat of his shit filled diapered pants' where this came from.
Not even in office yet but foreshadowing that things will return as was the usual during his first failed term.
Got my ass kicked, AGAIN, in budget talks - now what will I do? I know! Threaten the Panama Canal!
He's a 3 Card Monty act that is boring as hell and would normally be ignored save that it's coming from a child 1/3 of us decided to hand over the keys to the nation to.

In view of the events of the last week in Congress, I believe it is more appropriate to refer to him as "Vice-President Elect".

It seems the next four years will see him playing a lot of golf und holding continuous rallies for der Faithful whilst President Musk implements his vision to install the American Reich.

Hey, tell us again how 49.8 percent of the popular vote is a "landslide"....we could use a giggle.

Yes, Shadow President Musk has trump’s eyes a sparkle with visions of a billiondy dollars in an offshore account while licking his lizardy lips dreaming and scheming about lining his pockets with much inflated government contracts and tax cuts for the uber wealthy. Win-win!

 

[SgtSpiderMan]

Didn’t Trump campaign on lowering grocery prices? Gotta wonder why is supporters aren’t calling him out for giving up on that and trying to seize the Panama Canal.

Q: When was the last time Democrats held all 3 Branches?

A: the 1960’s.

Giggle at that!

Q: When was the last time Democrats held all 3 Executive Branches?

A: the 1960’s.

Yup. "Compromise Solutions" usually results in splitting control 2 out of 3 (Presidency, House, Senate)...btw the latter two are "Legislative" branches not "Executive".

Absolute control over the House, Senate, and Presidency is relatively rare.
It will be interesting to see how badly President Musk fucks things up.

WTF is all three executives branches?

Simply amazing how quickly the price of eggs vanished from the national debate.

And groceries? Trump himself started backpedaling two weeks ago "NOBODY knew how difficult it would be to lower prices!"

Four years of backpedaling and excuse making on the horizon.
The end of American Exceptionalism is upon us.

 

[Politruk]

Trump is just repeating a Reagan campaign slogan from 1980, which Reagan forgot all about after he won. How is the U.S. any better off if we possess the canal?

 

[Lance_Castro]

Yes 3 branches. The Republicans have controlled all 3 multiple times in the post ww2 era.

The democrats have had a much lower success rate.

So , you can talk about the end of this or that if you like.

But maybe you should remember your party increasingly is supported by fringe interests and really doesnt represent mainstream America.

Executive branches?

Which ones?


Where is that defined?

 

[AlexBailey]

Each time a ship passes through the locks, about 52 million gallons of freshwater is used, which is then drained into the ocean. Sustainable water management is essential for the canal’s operation, and ongoing projects help address challenges like droughts caused by climate variability.

Maybe Panama can offer discounts to shipping companies and Nations who take climate change seriously.

Once the Arctic ice melts completely, the canal won’t be needed.

 

[ll74]

I mentioned three executive branches and now can't admit I fucked up my words

Yep

 

[Rebel5soul]

It's the Greenland and Antarctic ice that's really going to make the difference.

 

[ChinoMoreno]

Does Trump know where the Panama Canal is located bro?

I hear he's putting Eddie Van Halen is charge of those department since he's an expert on Panama!

 

[ll74]

Can't wait until the new military branch, Ice Force is introduced

Reagan got backed down by the only living human at the time who was more popular than Reagan himself: John Fucking Wayne.

Not sure who nowadays has the combination of charisma and balls to stand up to the warmongering Vice-president-elect.

 

[Philthy_Phil]

He's a fucking poorly-educated twonk.

The Canal was returned because the 99 year lease was up, it was never the territory of the US any more than Hong Kong was British. It's about time he had a few history and geography lessons. Remember what he said a couple of weeks back, 'no-one knew how many countries there were in the world'.

Shh, trumptards hate facts.

 

[Politruk]

Why don't they use salt water, pumped out of the ocean?

 

[dmallord]

And that jury elected him.

Fair Process. He was judged.

Already sentence and convicted to begin serving in January. In humility, he is already doing his best to comply with the judgement. It seems he is failing already. Pity. We had such high hopes for President Harris, unity and Joy.

Pure conjecture.

You have no basis for declaring that a twelve-member jury voted for him. Farcical commentary, not to mention dipshit remarks, each of them.

 

[dmallord]

You know, like how they do it in Havana... or how they say/write it after a few bottles of tequila.
