I think it is time to tariff the US until they get their borders under control and stop the flow of illegal immigrants, drugs, and guns across our borders!

MILLIONS of people from mental asylums!

Wonko the Sane had the right idea. I need to find his house.

They're sending their best (seriously, the bar is that low on America... it's actually really sad)

[–] Atropos@lemmy.world 25 points 1 day ago

A decent portion of our best have already left.

I'm going to stay and fight, but I respect the ones who choose to leave.

You know it is bad when "Are you smarter than a 5th grader" only existed because "Are you smarter than a 7th grader" would be too difficult for the average person in the US to win.

Joking aside, it is really sad especially when you see the state the country is in today because of the brain drain over the last few decades leaving about 75% of the US adult population with literacy skills at or below a 6th grade level. (21% is clinically illiterate)

We’re not sending our best…

So.. Be as bad as they are to people trying to escape fascism?

I mean that's always an option, only problem with that is Trump will just turn around and tariff you more

No, I got it, I'm just glad you guys can find it within yourself to still make jokes, while Trump is bitch slapping you for no good reason other to show everyone else in the world he'll do it to them next. I think it all sucks man, and I feel really bad for Canada.

Bitch slapping us? Where are those doubled tariffs he threatened to levy on us if we counter tariffed the US? Only bitch here is your bitch ass leadership.

Another mouthbreather that doesn't understand tariffs.

Amazing considering a glance at the Wikipedia page would be enough of an education to understand how tariffs don't help at all.
