Didn't it get guttered and rebuilt a couple of decades back anyway. I'm sure I read somewhere, actually it might have been in one of the X-Men movies, that it's completely different now to how it what originally rebuilt after the fire. So this would be at least the 4th iteration of the White House.
It was the British and they didnt burn it to the ground so I'm not sure why people think thats what happened. It was a retaliation attack for the US fighting in Canada, sure. But they weren't Canadian troops.
They didnt burn it to the ground because the building burnt too fast for them to get the fire hot enough. The outer walls and bits inside were still standing. I believe the British even ate dinner in the house because the chef had prepared it for the president or something but I couldn't find a source for that.
There are like 15 conservative/republican people in this entire city, and that's only because there is one in the white house plus his crew. It's definitely the bluest place imaginable, in the USA at least.
The people we wouldn't like would scurry away from there the second things look bad, so no need to bomb it. Just have to hunt them down with boots on the ground really.
I originally hail from north GA and spent nearly 40 years there and Atlanta, what’s wild is that while where I live now in WA is obviously more anti Trump and but the folks ain’t nearly as anti authority or “fuck the man” as we are as a baseline, there’s some of that and Oregon is a different story but I’ve found it interesting
i had someone tell me as an Appalachian, i didn't understand the power of a union the way she did as a Michigander and i just stared at her, dumbfounded. America's first unions were in the south. the most powerful union America ever had was based in West Virginia. we absolutely know the power of a union, and wrote many of the tunes that have been solidified as Union Songs. the reason our unions don't have the power they once did is largely that we couldn't get solidarity from the Industrial unions for our Primary Unions. our collective direct action was thwarted by class traitors claiming to act on class solidarity.
but the thing is, the southern libertarian trope? that's not a fuckin' act. southerners legit hate authoritarians. we hate them because we've suffered under them. we don't need city folk telling us to hate authority. we need help educating our neighbors that a libertarian capitalist is just a fascist faking.
and i'm seeing something i've never seen before right now. there were zero pro-trump counter protestors at No Kings. zero nazis. people are unified in their understanding of who the problem is right now that i've never seen before. and i live in a right to work state. but still the union is gaining power. people would rather potentially get fired than have their boss be a local microgod.
Preaching to the choir brother, the South’s got a lot of problems but the common conception that it’s a just a bunch of idiots, racist, and inbred hillbillies allows them to ignore the actual disenfranchisement and oppression going on both in the south and their own back yards. And the ruling class purposefully encourages and perpetuates that perspective, it both keeps the vast majority of the black people in this country impoverished and without representation AND keeps any sort of class consciousness from forming across different regions!
To me this attitude is the equivalent of telling a comedian to "stick to comedy" when they make jokes about politics, or how "woke" sci-fi is when they make commentary on society.
Do you promise, Canada? Really promise? If you do... You can stay. You don't have to go. Let all of our regions be vassals until each respective one individually proves itself worthy of becoming a province. The province of New England would welcome you as liberators and celebrate your arrival as the new independence day...
Given recent precedent, targeting world leaders to effect regime change seems to be fair game. If someone were to, say, take out the president, vp, and all the cabinet members...
Well, there's not much we could say about it except thank you.
well they are all living on bases, so it wouldnt be that hard to target them with bombs and take them all out at once. most of all they are also afraid of thier OWN MAGAT supporters, thats why they moved onto bases.
It feels weird rooting for another country, but the USA sucks big donkey dick right now. I'm team Iran or anyone who assassinates or abducts trump. Fuck em all.
Actually, i didnt read the rest of your comment. I didnt mean to ignore what you said about yourself. Just wanted to clap back on you being fucking pedantic.
I dont care about the race card. I know how awful a large part of my countires population is, and how awful our history and modern day leaders is/are.
But using that as a reason to be intolerant or hateful to all americans still makes anyone a shitty intolerant asshat.
re American? Because it doesn’t make sense to say you’re ind
I'm gonna guess Canadian indigenous, probably a tribe that fled to Canada or was already residing in both countries such as Huron, Dakota, Sioux, or Cree.
we are a salad bowl of peoples. Some are the tomatoes and some are the leafy greens. Just not a melting pot. Always was hard to have everyone love everyone.
I'm Canadian and paying nearly $2 a litre for gas, and paying nearly twice for groceries because your dipshit excuse for a country elected that fat diaper shitting fuckface a second time.
No one is okay because of America, and Americans are directly to blame.
You think these responses are hostile? It's only going to get worse. You're an island now. No one wants to visit you. No one wants to associate with you. No one wants to trade with you. My friends are embarrassed to be American.
It’s funny how you guys murder, rape, pillage, blow up my country among others, then when you’re called out you’re like “oh this guy is crazy cause he can’t stand my terrorist nation”
I have as much control over what’s going on in your country as I do in America. Literally none. I’m not even an American citizen. So maybe take a step back from the situation and use some critical thinking?
Funny how it’s nobody’s fault when it’s time to take responsibility, all Americans are suddenly blameless. Well keep telling yourself that when the bombs start to drop, cause frankly you guys didnt give a shit which of us were innocent, so I won’t shed a tear when it’s your turn.
If you’re not American shut the fuck up and stop defending them and jumping in
If only neolib capitalist states cared about actually liberating people and not just invading, bombing, and regime changing sovereign nations for money and oil
if only we didnt rely on oil. we would never need the Yemen Pipeline to steal oil in any way possible with the excuse that were spreading democracy. Ohh yeah we need coal and not electric. Who would fund the Gaza resort with a big golden statue?
I think America needs a taste of its own medicine. They need the war to come to their soil for once, so they can stop playing war in everyone else’s home. I can’t wait for cheap drones and military strikes to start happening inside the us mainland. They will act indignant, like victims, like “how could they bomb our homes??” Thats what you terrorists do to everyone else, it’s your turn to be afraid
Think of how the Iraqis felt. Imagine seeing your nation's leader pulled out of a dirt hole, disheveled and shitting himself, only to be swiftly killed.
A land war between Canada and the US? Canada's only hope is in winter. But no matter what it would be an insane blood bath. People from both nations would switch sides, but US civilians have more than 10 guns per Canadian and rednecks from all over would show up hoping to taxidermy a syrup slinger.
The Geneva Convention war crimes list exists because of Canada. If it's on the list... it's because Canada did it to the extreme. America would be fucked.
No, I wouldn't like it. No country should bomb another to force regime change. I don't care how shitty the leader being replaced is. I want Trump gone, but not like that. I know this is a joke, but I feel like this needs to be explicitly stated.
The allies? Like the US, who didn't declare war on Germany until after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, two years after Germany invaded Poland? Like the Soviet Union, who signed a non-aggression pact with Germany in 1939, a pact that wasn't terminated until Germany invaded the Soviet Union in 1941? Those allies?
I don’t know if you wanna bomb DC. I like a lot of the monuments and museums there. Can you just gas it instead?
If they bomb the white house it won't even be noticeable
trump was ahead of the curve, must be scorched-earth policy
They’ve already set it on fire once, go ahead and do it again
Make America 1812 Again
Didn't it get guttered and rebuilt a couple of decades back anyway. I'm sure I read somewhere, actually it might have been in one of the X-Men movies, that it's completely different now to how it what originally rebuilt after the fire. So this would be at least the 4th iteration of the White House.
The Truman Reconstruction. It wasn't rebuilt completely differently.
Just make sure you get that gaudy nightmare currently in progress on the east lawn.
They're the only country with experience in burning the White House to the ground. Just let them do their job.
Lmao
It was the British and they didnt burn it to the ground so I'm not sure why people think thats what happened. It was a retaliation attack for the US fighting in Canada, sure. But they weren't Canadian troops.
They didnt burn it to the ground because the building burnt too fast for them to get the fire hot enough. The outer walls and bits inside were still standing. I believe the British even ate dinner in the house because the chef had prepared it for the president or something but I couldn't find a source for that.
I mean, I live here and I'm kinda alright with it.
This country was built for white, rich, racist men that didn't want to pay taxes. Let's just start over.
Maybe going back to being a French or German colony would be more sensible
Nah, I get it. I mean, it's not a dealbreaker for me.
Just focus on that place all the Mara-la-ghouls congregate.
Aside from the government parts, a lot of DC residents are at least non Republican voters, I suggest narrowing down the target area some.
I'm afraid if I offer suggestions I'll start getting knocks on my door at 2am.
Mega churches, billionaire bunkers, pent houses, suburban mansions, ... trucks with testicles
There are like 15 conservative/republican people in this entire city, and that's only because there is one in the white house plus his crew. It's definitely the bluest place imaginable, in the USA at least.
A neutron device will suffice.
Nice and sterilized of all the virulent filth infesting it now
The people we wouldn't like would scurry away from there the second things look bad, so no need to bomb it. Just have to hunt them down with boots on the ground really.
The bombings are a small price to pay
The Canadian government can even say It's an operation to take care of pedophiles.
And it would be true.
Operation Epstein Fury
I'm never gonna stop reading this as Furry and being like "holy shit is that actually what they named it"
Don’t threaten me with a good time, Canada.
America requires denazification. We will be greeted as liberators
Depending on location this ain’t even a joke, Washington state would be happy I can tell you that much
i know a wide range of Appalachians who'd be helping
Raise hell, praise Dale
our babbies didn't run shine through these hollows for us to lick boots

The coastal part, sure. The mountain area of Washington is pretty conservative.

War of 1812 is getting a sequel?
1812: Canada Strikes Back
War of 1812 2, electric bugaloo.
Where do I send my $1.05?
Also, fuck you and your political Shitpost
To me this attitude is the equivalent of telling a comedian to "stick to comedy" when they make jokes about politics, or how "woke" sci-fi is when they make commentary on society.
These things are intertwined, to a large degree.
Will you take a check?
Cheque.
Oui oui.
I didn't pay extra for the French cheques. Just regular American checks are good enough for me.
Here, I'll even help you spell mar a lago correctly, so you can find it on a map.
I have 5 dollars. Will that help?
Can we start a GoFund me?
Do you promise, Canada? Really promise? If you do... You can stay. You don't have to go. Let all of our regions be vassals until each respective one individually proves itself worthy of becoming a province. The province of New England would welcome you as liberators and celebrate your arrival as the new independence day...
As a Nova Scotian, I welcome New England as our next province.
Just leave your sports teams behind. They can move to Delaware.
Given recent precedent, targeting world leaders to effect regime change seems to be fair game. If someone were to, say, take out the president, vp, and all the cabinet members... Well, there's not much we could say about it except thank you.
Trump's in the hospital, they might need to hurry if they want that honor.
i'd kick into the gofundme
🥂
🤬
... At this point i almost wonder if Mexican federal leadership would give our states a better shot at self determination.
well they are all living on bases, so it wouldnt be that hard to target them with bombs and take them all out at once. most of all they are also afraid of thier OWN MAGAT supporters, thats why they moved onto bases.
Big autistic reporter Michael Falk energy.
I'm so sad they stopped doing those. I loved them!
Hopefully he's in his happy place now... stacking crates.
Am I going to hell for laughing at this?
Nah, as a fellow autistic, I can tell you it's ok to laugh at it. It's funny because it's accurate yet funny. I've never found it offensive.
"Can you stack your family?"
If you're going, I'm coming with you. —An autistic person
Edit: One of the comments pointed out that he's counting the ceiling tiles while they strap the prisoner up with a mic. It's so perfect.
Also autistic. Seconding that this is hilarious. I'm with the reporter, the prisoner makes prison sound like a good place to be.
I stacked paperback books as a toddler, straight in a line. My dad taught me to do them in a brick pattern for stability.
Let's make it happen cap'n.
It feels weird rooting for another country, but the USA sucks big donkey dick right now. I'm team Iran or anyone who assassinates or abducts trump. Fuck em all.
Yes.
Please, things are spiraling into the abyss.
Well actually
Mara Largo? The home of the bone apple tit.
I'm in.
Then when their terrorist bombing plane gets shot down, they want the world to weep for the invaders who got shot down blowing up another country
The American way.
Different situation being talked about here.
I lose track of all your terrorist attacks, Americans are garbage
as an American I concur. We used to make fun of communism that we were too greedy and deserved it but damn... We let it happen.
So are you racists
America is not a race moron.
Im an indigenous person who your country raped and pillaged. You are not the victims here.
Trying to pull out the race card, pathetic
Actually, i didnt read the rest of your comment. I didnt mean to ignore what you said about yourself. Just wanted to clap back on you being fucking pedantic.
I dont care about the race card. I know how awful a large part of my countires population is, and how awful our history and modern day leaders is/are.
But using that as a reason to be intolerant or hateful to all americans still makes anyone a shitty intolerant asshat.
Wait, so you’re American? Because it doesn’t make sense to say you’re indigenous in this context unless that was the case.
I'm gonna guess Canadian indigenous, probably a tribe that fled to Canada or was already residing in both countries such as Huron, Dakota, Sioux, or Cree.
we are a salad bowl of peoples. Some are the tomatoes and some are the leafy greens. Just not a melting pot. Always was hard to have everyone love everyone.
Fine, intolarant asshole
Go home, you're embarrassing yourself
Wow that’s quite the hostile response, you doing okay?
I'm Canadian and paying nearly $2 a litre for gas, and paying nearly twice for groceries because your dipshit excuse for a country elected that fat diaper shitting fuckface a second time.
No one is okay because of America, and Americans are directly to blame.
You think these responses are hostile? It's only going to get worse. You're an island now. No one wants to visit you. No one wants to associate with you. No one wants to trade with you. My friends are embarrassed to be American.
And it's only been a year.
<.< Wtf is with people assuming I’m American? This is a weird form of us defaultism.
Because no one with an IQ over 60 who doesn't live in America would simp for them.
Are you that other dude alt or something?
I pointed out this was about the US invading Venezuela, not Iran, and somehow I’m simping?
It’s funny how you guys murder, rape, pillage, blow up my country among others, then when you’re called out you’re like “oh this guy is crazy cause he can’t stand my terrorist nation”
I have as much control over what’s going on in your country as I do in America. Literally none. I’m not even an American citizen. So maybe take a step back from the situation and use some critical thinking?

If you’re not American shut the fuck up and stop defending them and jumping in
Cool. Show me where I defended them?
How's that working out for Cuba right now?
Please
If only neolib capitalist states cared about actually liberating people and not just invading, bombing, and regime changing sovereign nations for money and oil
I never understand these usian thinking the orange guy is the source of all their problems lol.
yeah he is kind of a pedo clown POS, but its not like he can decide on his own whatever the hell US doing to this world
Yeah people talk as if we haven't been regularly commiting genocides in the middle east for the last few decades now.
That's his job, a punchable public face for all of our contempt; it's the first job he's ever had, and he's not too shabby. Late bloomer.
What clowns are next? Can we find anyone as despicable?
if only we didnt rely on oil. we would never need the Yemen Pipeline to steal oil in any way possible with the excuse that were spreading democracy. Ohh yeah we need coal and not electric. Who would fund the Gaza resort with a big golden statue?
Tbf main money is from military industrial complex and polymarket these days no?
What if Trump was murdering protestors as well, then someone kidnapped your dictator, would you be happy?

Following that argument, how many people should ICE send to concentration camps before it's ethical to bomb a girls' middleschool?
All you have to do is mess with north korea.
Why stop there?
They're just the "face", get the brains, too
BRAAAAAIIIIIINNNNS
I was told there would be corn in my shitposts
Skip DC and just deliver the just desserts where they are needed most.
I think America needs a taste of its own medicine. They need the war to come to their soil for once, so they can stop playing war in everyone else’s home. I can’t wait for cheap drones and military strikes to start happening inside the us mainland. They will act indignant, like victims, like “how could they bomb our homes??” Thats what you terrorists do to everyone else, it’s your turn to be afraid
So… you are aware that Congress but ZERO to do with this war.
This is not America’s war.
It is the war of a petty would-tyrant.
That’s plain and simple.
Wishing harm on people who had nothing to do with it makes as much sense as wishing harm on yourself.
Think of how the Iraqis felt. Imagine seeing your nation's leader pulled out of a dirt hole, disheveled and shitting himself, only to be swiftly killed.
Not so funny now, is it!?
I don't get it, still funny to me. You are a debbie downer
(That was the joke. Another appealing prospect.)
Double Debbie Downer?
Have you no shame ??

I mean isn't this post kind of giving consent?
Unless that one person is god emperor of the country, no.
Maybe they're descended from Joshua Norton.
Why must it be explicitly stated? Do you think the thread will inspire Canada to actually do this otherwise?
It needs to be explicitly stated because there are still people who don't understand that violent regime change is wrong.
I'm glad the allies didnt have this attitude at the start of ww2.
The allies? Like the US, who didn't declare war on Germany until after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, two years after Germany invaded Poland? Like the Soviet Union, who signed a non-aggression pact with Germany in 1939, a pact that wasn't terminated until Germany invaded the Soviet Union in 1941? Those allies?
