You know, in my future fiction project, the annexation of Canada into the USA was going to be a careful, gradual and deliberate process over the course of many years... But I guess I was forgetting that the USA's political system isn't exactly built to encourage that type of long-term thinking, and this type of crude, kneejerk, ill-conceived attempt at coersion was really the whole time the muuuuch more likely route the USA would take if it were to try to annex Canada.

We are in an insane timeline. Trump could...

Invade and grab Greenland
Invade and grab the Panama Canal
Have troops (or the DEA or whatever) violate Mexico's sovereignty, cross the border, and target "the cartel assets" and due to incredibly imbecilic fuck ups - they destroy random villages and slaughter innocent people.
[When it comes to Canada - I don't know what's plausible]

And we are only on the 14th day of Trump's presidency. If Netanyahu figures out the right things to say to Trump - the US could end up going to war with Iran because Trump is a delusional moron with little connection to reality.

It obviously would all be really bad, but you have to admit Trump knows how to give us a good new season of the USA. (Take notes, Biden)

Are you not entertained?

I've never enjoyed roller coasters, frankly.

We are going to have a Donnie Darko-style season finale and go back to the real timeline, where the bullet didn't miss, right?

Right?

Why else would you be wearing that stupid bunny suit?

Jesus titty-yiffing Christ...

God, don't even make me think about it.
