I really appreciate that my American friends here have never told me to stay in my lane when I snark about 
- thank you. Honestly, when you look at these types of comments, you truly have to know it's impossible to look away.
@cephalopie Well on the bright side that’s technically 50 against 1. @Anemone
@Anemone
I LOVE the response...
Short-attention span theatre that currently sits in the Oval Office has in no way EVER sat through an entire movie...
@InvaderGzim It hit me hard. I did one of those loud, snort laughs. He might have been thinking of the Caine Mutiny - but he has to go with whatever fantasies play out in his head.
@Anemone
" - but he has to go with whatever fantasies play out in his head."
Part and parcel of why this is going on... ;)
I mean, his staff made a meme with him as Thanos and he thought that was great... I don't think he watched that, either.
@tyghebright @Anemone @InvaderGzim
Come on. He doesn't have the attention span to sit through a three-hour movie, much less the four or five OTHER three-hour movies he'd have to watch to understand what was going on in THAT three-hour movie.
@tyghebright @Anemone @InvaderGzim
WHY'S EVERYBODY SO MAD AT THE BIG GUY? WHAT'S WITH THE COLORED ROCKS? IS THAT GIRL A ROBOT OR A GIRL? HOW COME SHE'S BLUE, BUT HER SISTER'S GREEN?
WAIT, IRON MAN _DIES_ SO _SPIDERKID_ ISN'T DEAD ANY MORE?
THAT'S JUST _STUPID_.
Still, he does have a clear affinity for bullies who lose.
@tyghebright @Anemone @InvaderGzim
"WHAT are you DOING?"
"Dance-off, bro!"
@mcfate @tyghebright @Anemone
What does that mean for us that understood EVERY reference you just spouted???
😜
@InvaderGzim @tyghebright @Anemone
HOW CAN THAT RACCOON NOT KNOW HE'S A RACCOON? SINCE WHEN DO TREES TALK, ANYWAY?
PEOPLE PAY TO WATCH THIS NONSENSE?
@Anemone
Feel free to snark. He totally counts strawberries.
@flygande_ren 😜 I just had a flash of him staring at the plates of others counting and measuring everything. Full on paranoid breakdown isn't far away.
@Anemone @flygande_ren
STRAWBERRIES!!!!
@InvaderGzim @flygande_ren
That does it! I'm watching the movie this evening. Hope I can find the original version. 🤣
@Anemone
"And how many cups did you have?"
I had to meet with a board president once (secretly, he was a lawyer) and the first question out of his mouth after reading my letter was:
Has he started counting strawberries yet?
"No sir, he's counting the mangos."
True story. He really was counting the mangos. It was nuts.
@flygande_ren @InvaderGzim
Look to be honest, I've been watching my self-isolation mate pretty closely of late.
😂
I'm not even kidding.
🤔
oops.
@flygande_ren @InvaderGzim
I can't stop laughing now.
@Anemone 😁
ikr?
I found 3 pieces of dog kibble on the stove this morning and almost went full Cap Bligh.
What have you mammals been doing while I sleep? Present yourselves!
@InvaderGzim
@Anemone @InvaderGzim
And yes, I checked my breath for the smell of dog kibble.
😁
It wasn't me. Pretty sure it wasn't me.
And there is exactly a (does math in his head, breaks out calculator, sweats the problem) oh, a ***ZERO PERCENT CHANCE*** Trump has seen the movie with Charles Laughton (or read the book).
Can't even imagine he knows what a breadfruit IS, or that Bligh was starving the crew of water FOR the breadfruit plants (id est, money over people).
Good grief 🙄
@netspionage If it's not about him, he ain't watching it.
A book? I'm going with negative numbers on that one.
@Anemone
We won't tell you to stay in your own lane. We might, however, slip into your lane when you aren't looking. "Yes, sir, that is maple syrup in my trunk. No, it just looks like an American passport because I disguised it so I wouldn't be told to go back to where I came from. Did I mention the maple syrup in my trunk? Go curling team, Eh?"
FTR...
Provided one is informed (and I've seen no evidence to the contrary regarding yourself), you are perfectly within your rights to pontificate on US #politics
I'd say this to someone from ANY OTHER COUNTRY in the world as well, and think it only *more* appropriate for those who are denizens of a neighboring country that risks being impacted far more by the actions of our would-be King than a more remote country.
TLDR: Unless you're spewing untruths/lies/propaganda, and are reasonably informed, anyone saying you (or any other Canadians, etc) should "stay in your lane" can get stuffed.
Considering how grossly ignorant so many Americans are about their own government & history (to say nothing of what our OWN GOVERNMENT is currently doing) collectively, we're on perilously thin ice when it comes to judging others.
/end rant
@netspionage @Anemone
Yep. So many glass houses, so many people with stones in their hands.
@Anemone That response is perfect because he clearly hasn’t seen either version of that movie.
@Anemone It's cool, just my president threatening my governors. no bigs.😖 😱
