    They have removed all the books that aren’t about straight, cis, white Christian men so who fucking cares. We’ll build our own library with all the banned books and let anyone who wants to read them sign them out for free.

    Fyi to all the people saying to tear down the Canadian side:

    You’re saying that we should demolish our own library because Trump is an idiot.
    I know it feels satisfying now, but that is a brutally embarrassing self-own if we actually did something like that.

    We need to make sure that they don’t lock us out of our own library, though. If we have the ability to demolish our half, then we have the ability to allow our citizens into our half.

    Old news. They closed this down when this all started, not yesterday. Get some real news, like the Epstein files or something actually news worthy.

    Corruption don is late. Canadians have been avoiding the US for months now and probably won’t go back until Corruption don is out of office.

      There is nothing to wake up from, they are complicit. They want this to happen. Trump is their God now and will support everything he does. If you are looking for republicans for help, you are looking in the wrong place.

        oh I don’t expect them to. I just wish they would see where this is going even for them. I mean I would take joy in their future misery except my misery will likely be more unless dead.

    Canada should burn that library to the ground or just demo the part on our side. If it “long symbolized bilateral closeness” it’s time to elbow up and burn the fucker down.

    Or, cut a hole in the side, clear out everything on our side of the border, then put in razorwire.

      Just demolish the Canadian half. Leave it a symbol of Trump’s America, just like what he’s done to the White House.

              “Obama tore up the whole south lawn to install an outdoor kitchen”.

              Lol! Wut? No he didn’t. Michelle Obama planted her own vegetables in the garden FOR the White House kitchen. That’s why it’s called a “kitchen garden”. That garden has been producing fruits and vegetables off and on, for over 200 years.

              It is beyond hilarious that you are asking people to “use any research machine of choice” to check your bullshit…when you haven’t even bothered to do that yourself.

                  Ok…so, are you seriously suggesting that what the Obamas did, was comparable to tearing down the entire East Wing of the White House?

                  Obama had the tennis court lines repainted and had a freestanding basketball hoop brought in, and Michelle put in planter boxes, walkways and seating. All of it was basically just cosmetic changes to the grounds outside, with none of it having any impact on the White House structure itself. That’s not “renovating the White House”…it’s just rearranging the lawn furniture.

    Fucking ridiculous. I used to cross in and out of Canada without a passport because it’s fucking Canada!! I used to cross the Rio Grande back and forth too. Insane border policies need to be eliminated.

        I imagine the people who died in those two towers would be horrified at the things done in their name.

        That sentence would probably incite violence against me in a large swathe of the US.

          It’s so wild to me that 25 years later a generation that hadn’t been born yet is memeing about the thing that changed everyone’s lives seemingly overnight.
