I have a few thoughts. First I feel like he just has issues with HIS shower I haven't noticed my showers being "woke". Second can Trump focus 100% on this nothing else? This is one of the much less damaging things he could do

Is there any explanation to him doing this other than him clogging a low flow toilet?

[–] justOnePersistentKbinPlease@fedia.io 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Because Biden opposed him.

Cynically, it increases US water usage and will make water more expensive in the US, allowing him and his ilk to push for an invasion of Canada.

That....took a turn at the end there. I was with you, up until the Canada part. Am I missing context here, or is that as random to everyone else as it is to me?

Trump wants Canada to be part of the US. It's been a thing since the start of his term.

He has already made multiple comments on how he wants free access to Canadian water.

It was also a significant issue that almost derailed the original NAFTA, and is the reason that agreement had some of its nastier trap regulations.

He is already refusing to honor decades old agreements on the Columbia River, because he wants to just take it all.

If his goons create shortages in the US, they can work public opinion into trying to take it from Canada.

You seriously don't know Trump and Republicans have explicity said they want to annex Canada?

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I intentionally don't watch the news. I know whatever they have planned can't be stopped by me. It won't be stopped by anything short of a national violent uprising. The type of thing that will be impossible to not know is happening. But for now, I can't stand his voice. I can't stand his lies. And from 2017-2021 I felt my mental health take a nose dive.

So I'm not doing it. I feel helpless in my own country, and the only power I have is the power to ignore literally everything until it's time for civil war. Which I fully believe is coming.

I keep saying it's America's Golden Shower Age, apparently, it really is.

Feeling confused, amused, bewildered or overwhelmed yet? It's working then, it's the Trump team's strategy.

When in reality it will ruin my shower since it wont blast me anymore. Everything he touches turns to shit.
