You’re assuming that these people give a fuck about Christianity other than as a cudgel for beating people up.
I’d say it’s just cosplay for these “Christians,” but cosplayers are much more accurate in their affect: https://www.desiringgod.org/articles/the-enticing-sin-of-empathy
Yeah! Prepare yourselves! You’re going up against Cobra Kai!
This is your end game and you’re up against Thanos is what I mean!
You’re like that Mexican “Chapulin Colorado!”
You’re like those blue people fighting Gargamel and his cat! You’ll never succeed! Never!
Have you guys ever seen voltron, the thunder cats, robotech, ghost in the shell, the power rangers, you Canadians are just like that going up against all their archnesises! Yeah!
Must be weird thinking emperor palpatine was the good guy
The US has strategically used tariffs with great success over the last decades to get favorable pricing from Canada on everything from energy, softwood, potash, you name it. One item at a time, slowly, methodically they were able to bring down pricing. We have been giving the US extremely good prices, and now, because of Trump he has just flipped the board over and it’s time to restart.
America will be far worse off than before this started, and this has leveled off the playing field again with Canada.
As a Canadian I am thrilled.
Setting tariffs without accompanying trade negotiations is like starting a fight with someone by shooting yourself, unless of course the goal is xenophobia and isolationism instead of equitable trade.
Yah, Canada is the bully…
He was referring to Goliath from Gargoyles.
Bitch, the “unfair treatment” you are going on about was the one proposed by Trump in 2018.
Can these people read?
It has been my observation that the people who claim to be Christians the loudest and most fervently tend to be the ones least likely to have read the bible.
No, they tell aides to write whatever, and those in turn just ask chatgpt or similars for what to write.
If they read it, they would call the main character in part II “woke” and dismiss him as a “liberal.”
And he wasn’t even especially woke.
Fun fact: Humans are also susceptible to rocks.
I think Goliath was a “giant” in the same sense that an NBA player is a giant. Not like a mythical species in the Bible, just a genetic anomaly family that was crazy big and strong. Meanwhile, the average height was back then was much shorter than it is now.
So think of a fairly average but smallish guy beating up Shaq and I think that’s what we are supposed to envision.
I don’t know about that. Have you seen David!? He’s 20 ft tall and made of pure marble! Just imagine what Goliath looked like!!
Oberyn Martel vs. The Mountain
Interesting. I have to write that down.
What would you suggest, though, if I wanted to hurl a 90 kilo stone about 300 meters towards an enemy?
Only 300 meters? A gravity trebuchet is sufficient, though large bore naval guns can reach your enemies miles away.
I miss trebuchet memes. The only thing Reddit ever mastered.
Would a catapult do the trick?
Never! There has to be some kind of a superior siege engine 🤔
You got right to the problematic issue: “read”. Reading is hard. Reading a long text is harder. Reading a very long text with complex meanings and referring to things outside the historical context of most readers, is very hard.
I’ve read the Bible. Twice. I don’t think there is any action or concept by the current GOP where you won’t find a sentence in the Bible that is actually condemning this precise move. They don’t care, as they have never read it.
Oh, the irony…
I just don’t understand the part where we’re somehow being “unfair” to the US.
Most in the US don’t see how Canada is being unfair. Maybe he is using “unfair” like he uses it when his assault victims sue him.
Our president is a baby. Everything is unfair. Diapers? Unfair. Hurricanes? Unfair.
During Trump’s first term, Trudeau had to remind him that Canada has the deficit in trading with the US. This is probably retribution for embarrassing him. I wish I was kidding
I think it’s more an attempt to replace income tax since it acts like a sales tax like they’ve been drooling to do for years but now they don’t have to say the word tax
People should just start referring to Tariffs as “import taxes” (which exactly what Tariffs are) , as in " Trump raise the import taxes on Canadian goods".
Then just let people reach the natural conclusion from the pain on their wallets.
It’s a strongarm tactic to negotiate something else they want or they’re trying to spoil u.s.-Canadian relations.
