Pete Hoekstra thumbs through an imaginary document, and pauses for effect: “This is a serious proposal — pile one.” Then he raises a second document. “I can’t believe this,” he guffaws. “This is a joke.” Straight to the discard pile.

That, says President Donald Trump’s ambassador to Canada, is how it will go — one way or another — when newly elected Prime Minister Mark Carney submits a proposal on a revamped economic and security agreement with the United States

    Hoekstra is just another Nazi fuck, feigning outrage. Weird to make him ambassador to Canada, but we’ll continue to go our own way and ignore the ravings.

    Oh I hadn’t realized it’s the guy who got his ass handed to him from Dutch journalists. Our journalists should take the clue and we’ll have four years of hilarity.

    Our sovereignty in Canada has been threatened by DJT.

    We are therefore at war.

    Take your products and shove 'em.

    And it’s outrageous that America elected a senile, narcissistic, convicted felon who declared economic war and threatens to annex your closest ally, but here we are.

    Go fuck yourself, Pete.

    🤣😝😹🙄😸🥲

    Fuck you dude, you haven’t banned our products from your shelves you threatened to take over our shelves, violently.

    The Americans can’t have it both ways, if you’re waging economic war (and that’s what’s currently happening) we’re not playing nice. Stop with the threats to our sovereignty and stop the economic chaos and we can talk about putting away our knives.

    If you wanted to talk, you needed to start there. Chaos first, means you’re serious about not talking 🙄

    Good read, well worth your time to go through it, if only to roll your eyes at the sycophancy on display.

    I’m sick of hearing from this fuckwit. Let’s go back to never hearing about some useless ambassador.

    Trump’s mouthpiece can return to kissing Trump’s ass. We should ban him from our country like we banned their products from our shelves. Fuck off, oppressors, you have made it clear we are at war. Maybe only economic war right now, but you’ve lost every shred of trust and credibility you ever had. You want to be my enemy, mission accomplished, I will treat you like an enemy.
