Military expert warns Trump vow could trigger decades-long insurgency

President Donald Trump has repeatedly mused about making Canada into America's "51st state," which has prompted one expert to conduct a war game mapping how a U.S. invasion of Canada would play out.
The Montreal Gazette reported that Aisha Ahmad, a political scientist at the University of Toronto, said that the American military would likely easily defeat Canada were Trump to really give the green light for an invasion.
However, he also said that wouldn't be the end of the story as Canadians would not passively accept being conquered.
In fact, Ahmad believes that Canadians would wage a bloody, decades-long insurgency against the United States until the Americans left their country.
“It’s impossible to annex Canada without violence,” said Ahmad, who in the past has advised American officials at the United States Department of Defense about counter-insurgency strategies. “No one is born an insurgent or resistance fighter. This is something that happens to people when their mom is killed, or when their kids are unable to get to a hospital. People fight back because they have to.”
He said that the U.S. military would struggle to occupy Canada when hundreds of thousands of Canadians would be engaged in a concerted campaign of sabotage that they would adopt as a "secret, part-time job."
"Trump is delusional if he believes that 40 million Canadians will passively accept conquest," he emphasized.
In fact, it would only take one percent of the Canadian population working as insurgents to produce a force of 400,000 fighters, which would be ten times the number of Taliban fighters who eventually pushed the American military out of Afghanistan after a 20-year occupation.

Trump tariff rebuke: GOP senators to join Dems in opposing Canada plan
By John Bacon, Riley Beggin, Francesca Chambers, Bart Jansen and Jorge L. Ortiz | Updated 1:36 a.m. ET April 2, 2025

"I think government by emergency rule is a mistake,'' Paul said. "The power to tax they say is the power to destroy. The power to tax is considered one of the most important powers and so it was given to Congress. ... I think it's probably one of the more important votes that we'll have maybe in a generation."
The outcome wouldn't stop Trump from imposing the tax on Canadian goods because the resolution would have to pass the House to be binding. With a slim majority in the House, Speaker Mike Johnson likely wouldn't risk bringing it up for a vote.

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, Susan Collins of Maine, Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, and Rand Paul, also of Kentucky, will hopefully get on the Republican bandwagon, for a change, and fight the Democrats wild and flagrant push to not penalize Canada for the sale, into our Country, of large amounts of Fentanyl, by Tariffing the value of this horrible and deadly drug in order to make it more costly to distribute and buy. They are playing with the lives of the American people, and right into the hands of the Radical Left Democrats and Drug Cartels. The Senate Bill is just a ploy of the Dems to show and expose the weakness of certain Republicans, namely these four, in that it is not going anywhere because the House will never approve it and I, as your President, will never sign it. Why are they allowing Fentanyl to pour into our Country unchecked, and without penalty. What is wrong with them, other than suffering from Trump Derangement Syndrome, commonly known as TDS? Who can want this to happen to our beautiful families, and why? To the people of the Great States of Kentucky, Alaska, and Maine, please contact these Senators and get them to FINALLY adhere to Republican Values and Ideals. They have been extremely difficult to deal with and, unbelievably disloyal to hardworking Majority Leader John Thune, and the Republican Party itself. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Stop Looking for Methods in the Madness
There’s no plan, secret or otherwise, behind Trump’s tariffs
By Paul Krugman | Apr 02, 2025
https://paulkrugman.substack.com/p/stop-looking-for-methods-in-the-mad
ness
Here’s the story: Trumpers are claiming that tariffs
1. Won’t increase prices, because foreign producers will absorb the cost
2. Will cause a large shift in U.S. demand away from imports to domestic production
3. Will raise huge amounts of revenue
If you think about it for a minute, you realize that (1) is inconsistent with (2): If prices of imports don’t rise, why would consumers switch to domestically produced goods? At the same time, (2) is inconsistent with (3): If imports drop a lot, tariffs won’t raise a lot of money, because there won’t be much to tax.
So the public story about tariffs doesn’t make any sense. And Trump’s rants about tariffs go beyond nonsense.

Why More People Are Avoiding Filing Taxes This Year

If you feel less than enthusiastic about filing your federal income taxes this year, you're not alone. IRS filing data and a recent survey shed light on a growing trend: Many are hesitant to file taxes in 2025.
This tax season, the IRS has reported a notable downturn in tax return submissions compared to previous years.
Why? Possible reasons range from concerns about IRS workforce reductions to general economic uncertainty.
A March survey of 1,003 respondents conducted by Qualtrics on behalf of Intuit Credit Karma also revealed some interesting data points. Nearly a quarter of respondents felt less concerned about making errors on their tax returns this year, while almost half worried about receiving a timely refund.
Meanwhile, according to the survey, 17% of millennials have contemplated not filing at all. They reported a belief that audit risk has decreased due to recent downsizing at the IRS.

In case it is not clear that murdering 23 illegal aliens is no big deal for Trump, but killing one rich white man who deserved death is a big deal because Trump is rich, white, and deserving:

Trump last week dismissed concerns about the impact of his 25% tariffs on foreign-made autos by admitting, “I couldn’t care less” if they lead to higher prices for American consumers.

Trump Tariffs Could Cost Average American Household $4,200 a Year
Published Apr 02, 2025 at 10:20 AM EDT
https://www.newsweek.com/trump-tariffs-could-cost-american-households-
4200-year-2054053
If broad 20 percent tariffs are implemented and other countries retaliate with tariffs of their own, the disposable income of the lowest-income households could drop by 5.5 percent, while it would drop by just 1.9 percent for the highest-income households.
According to the analysis, the tariffs would cost households in the second lowest income decile, on average, $2,400 when other countries retaliate. For households in the middle, it would be $3,800 per household on average, and for those in the top tenth, it would be $9,500 per household on average.

No. It's because it's terrorism.
You can't justify somebody executing somebody in public. You're a fucking lunatic.
Mangione needs to be made an example of, or you're going to have 1,000 psychotic Democrats doing it tomorrow.
We've got videos of the terrorism that you people do against your own people with Tesla cars today. Covid lockdowns fucked you up so bad.

Good plan.
Don't file your taxes, Democrats. See what happens to you.
