How sad is it that I learned about Trump's plan to bomb Mexico not from American news media, but from alarmed Mexican friends.

Mexico is our second largest trading partner. Both Canada and Mexico are our closest allies. They provided aid to the US after 9/11 and Hurricanes Katrina and Harvey.

I'm not worried that this would start a war. I'm worried it would cause permanent tension between two friends.

And yet, Trump routinely shits on both countries and his cultists just blindly fall in line.

Don't worry, my American friend, we have already developed quite a bit of distrust in your country since 2016, and it's not likely to be repaired signifigantly until we see if y'all are willing to collectively and loudly reject trumpism and its related bullshit.

Same sentiment from Europe. A narrow Kamala victory will be just a temporary relief.

Getting Trump elected has been a major victory for any enemies of the US, radicalizing the electorate and creating long lasting tensions and distrust,both internal and external.

Remember when Trump promised EPN that he'd help secure his reelection? And the look on EPN's face when he didn't want to say it! 😂

Sufragio efectivo, no reelección!

That's the moment I realized Trump would roll us over if he could. And now look at this news headline...

Significant tension with our Mexican neighbors is exactly what Trump, Desantis and other weirdo's rhetoric is causing. They're just trying gin up more hatred from their bizarre, poorly educated, toxic supporters and they don't get a fuck about anyone else.

Each time some GOP idiot talks about invading or bombing Mexico the news spreads like wildfire in Mexico while American news media ignores it almost completely. I repeatedly hear about bullshit the GOP freaks are spouting from my Mexican friends instead of reading about it in our own mainstream media.
