Canada’s reaction to Trump’s tariffs (and his absurd taunt that he wants to Annex Canada) is understandable… And it UNDERLINES the true danger of starting a trade war: Such wars drive Nationalism which invariably turns “cold wars” into HOT ones.

$3.89/gallon for gas today… $2.69 a month ago at the same fucking pump. “West coast refineries off-line for seasonal maintenance”??? What? All of them at the fucking same time??? I call bullshit. And those sonsabitches who voted for Trump because “prices were too high,” can all suck my dick.
