    Many years ago, G.W.Bush was trolled by Rick Mercer, about Canadian prime-minister “Jean Putine”, when the ACTUAL PM was Jean Cretien.

    Putine’s a frenchfries+cheese-curds+gravy dish, popular in Quebec.

    He was banned from reentering the US, for that.

    With Trump, you could probably expect to be arrested, at-least deported, but maybe just “died in custody”, you know?

    Sometimes jokes are not worth doing.

      He trolled all kinds of random Americans, but was criticized for seeking out ignorant Americans, so he went to Harvard Square, talked to Harvard Professors with the same results.

        One of my favourite parts was when he got people to congratulate Canada on legalizing the stapler

            Depends on which part you’re asking about. No, Canada didn’t need to legalize the stapler, yes Rick Mercer trolled Americans by asking them to congratulate Canada on it

              Because Americans. believed that socialist Canada outlawed staplers as part of gun control.

              Ha ha , that’s the thing, if I said the president just said they were launching an expedition to the sun to retaliate for solar flares, you couldn’t discount it without checking.

              The dumbest timeline. Many of us knew fascism would come in our lifetimes to seize power, I for one didn’t realize just how dumb our leaders would be in doing so. Like it’s embarrassing. We could do better no? Waited this long for a strong man, and this is who we go with? Jesus fucking Christ.

    Do you have anything to say in response to the prime minister of Narnia releasing a statement earlier today calling you quote, “The Liar, the Bitch and the Pedo”?

    He would then have to pretend that he meant slovakia and punish it. You need one that doesn’t correlate with another one so close. If the first and last letters are the same, and the inner letters jmbuld you can sitll raed the word you are familiar with.

    That would be awesome because the next day after he is made fun of you just know this mother fucker will double down and show a map with a new country clearly drawn in with a marker. Double points if he uses one of those maps that forget to add New Zealand.

    Watch EU leaders scramble to force-rename one of those small Eastern bloc countries that nobody knows “Sokovia”. Gets rid of the baggage AND makes Don happy.

    You know it’s dangerous to pretend these people have no plan rather than an insane and dangerous one? Like pretending a road rager is simply bad at driving. Maybe he is, but swerving towards you is not by mistake.
