Everyone wants to get rid of Trump, but I am starting to think we should give him a third term and get

— Iceland in the EU
— Britain rejoining the EU
— Norway fully joining the EU
— All EU countries switching to European weapons systems
— Laws against US surveillance systems in Europe
— An end to European collaboration with American NSA
— More people switching to Mastodon to get away from Zuckerberg and Musk
— Rise of European streaming services
— Full bankruptcy of Tesla

(Joking, but still…)

@randahl
While that sounds attractive, are you sure humanity will survive four more years of malicious sabotage of all attempts at slowing climate warming, snipin at everything the hate-driven junta in Washington considers woke/DEI/communist? More wars started by the US?

[ultraverified@mastodon.sdf.org]

@randahl

Can get all these without Trump or Republicans

[bigg@mastodon.africa]

@randahl nice thinking

[svelmoe@hachyderm.io]

@randahl Hopefully that can happen without Trump as well.
Looking 'over there', there are still many similar grifters, so ....... perhaps the trend can/will continue.

[wrybane@wizzards.club]

@randahl sure sounds nice, but it's also at the expense of the entire US population (and whoever they take down with them), which over the next generations would be used to breed more hatred of other countries, while the people responsible would just use their billions to move over to europe and do the same thing here... Meh, that's already ongoing anyway...

@randahl

If only it came with no toll...

[joshbuddy@sfba.social]

@randahl

– Canada joins the EU
– We develop continent severing technology and float Canada on over
– EU goes carbon negative
– Putin dies and Ukraine joins the EU

[idjansazov@mastodon.social]

@randahl

Not to forget Canada wants to join EU.

@randahl

Amazon??

[fgbjr@indieweb.social]

@randahl Why not just do it all.

[jdgeoshack@social.vivaldi.net]

@randahl My fellow veteran and non-veteran Americans that I know and myself say "Fuck no" to this. If he even tries there will be an uprising like we haven't had since our civil war. The armed forces will lead it too. It will be quick, and the powers that attempt such a thing will immediately be defeated. After typing all this, I may wish for the same thing now...the current administration is dumb enough to try.

[nazokiyoubinbou@mastodon.social]

@randahl You forgot the radioactive wasteland they'll all be as they do this.

Sorry, hard to joke about it when we're very likely mere months away from nazis starting WWIII, this time with nukes...

As someone else here said before me: they can do all this without Trump and the Republicans. And they'll have more time to actually do it in if that doomsday timer isn't ticking down while they do it.

[glynmoody@mastodon.social]

@randahl and don't forget a rush to install solar and wind energy to reduce dependence on fossil fuels...

[jskeletti@det.social]

@randahl Getting rid of Trump is more realistic...

[h_albermann@mastodon.social]

@randahl It all makes sense. But if we want it, we can achieve it even without Trump.

To wish Americans another four years of Trump or Vance would make me a hateful idiot myself. The majority of Americans don’t deserve that.

[mcv@friendica.opensocial.space]

@randahl

We don't need more devastation by Trump to do all of that. Get him out of office as soon as possible, and do all of these things anyway.

Also, I think we need to restructure the EU to allow further growth. The current structure is too inflexible, as demonstrated by our inability to handle Orban. I think we need various levels of membership that countries can move up or down in depending to how well they follow and implement EU rules. Joining and leaving should be easier, and follow simple but strict rules, instead of being the subject of all sorts of political games.

And rename it to the Federation of Nations. I still like that name.

@joshbuddy @randahl Can't we just modify Boris Johnson's ill-fated London Garden Bridge proposal and make it a bit longer?

Although it might be easier to break it into bits, hop from Scotland to Iceland, then to Greenland and then a short hop to Newfoundland.

That would give the option for the good peoples of Scotland, Iceland, Greenland and Newfoundland to earn some money providing services to travellers. Hotels, restaurants, campsites and so on.

Everybody wins!

@randahl It would be a good thing for the world, for Europe, but it would be a great sacrifice to ask off the American people, but, as a citizen of the EU I will say:

[drahardja@sfba.social]

@randahl And all it costs would be a few million people in concentration camps.
