Several weeks ago we heard, "annexing Canada is just a negotiating tactic" and now they're mentioning "kinetic action".

The rot is deep in the US admin. #ElbowsUp 💪💥

Reposted from Aaron Rupar

Rep. Carlos Gimenez on CNN alludes to military strikes on Canada: "Instead of taking kinetic action, he's taking economic action in order to protect American lives."

The method he's talking about is what the govt has done for a very long time to Mexico, Central, and South America. Crushing through economy and support/installation of fascists. The occasional bullshit with the CIA.

Wow
America needs protection from us??

Sounds to me like foreshadowing.
Tit-for-tat raising of tariffs. Eventually Canada stops supplying energy to the US, Trump says 'we need it', attempts to take it by 'kinetic action'.

I am going to tear down my house and rebuild with Canadian lumber . I am going to make sure only maple syrup runs out of my faucets and I’m gonna eat only poutine. For security, I will be purchasing 5 saber-toothed moose to roam the grounds. And get this, I’ll speak French half of the time.

Would you be willing to explain the elbows up thing? I see it's about protesting the Danger Yam and America, where did it come from?

tanis.bsky.social•4 days ago

It's Canadian lingo for fighting, originating from hockey. Elbows up, gloves off, jersey 'em, over the boards and clear the bench are all part of it. We're at elbows up and about to throw down (gloves off.) We don't want to jersey 'em, BUT WE WILL, and no one wants over the boards/clear the bench.

... it looks like it's a hockey thing?

mrmicawber.bsky.social•4 days ago

Yes, a hockey thing.
When the other team gets physical and dirty, you finish a check with an elbow to the head.

reidangela.bsky.social•4 days ago

Hockey reference drop your gloves get ready to fight! Make them pay get your elbows up!

ask70.bsky.social•4 days ago

Keep your elbows up when you go into the corners
. Especially when you are playing a team of shitheads.

Yeah. Comedian Mike Myers kicked off its use in recent days when he said it on Saturday Night Live during the closing.

It’s a reference to Gordie Howe, a hockey player who would get in brawls. A lot of Canadians are saying it as if to mean, get ready for a fight.

More so: we are being attacked get ready to defend by whatever means necessary boys. Go for the teeth

solarpunk-auntie.bsky.social•4 days ago

Ah, thanks for the explanation!

Who is this mouth-breather Gimenez? The US seems to have an infinite supply of maga crackpots in its Congress.
