I also love how it starts with him wishing all a Merry Christmas and ends with him naming certain people he won’t wish a Merry Christmas.

    Making up my 2025 bingo. Putting “Invade Canada”, “Invade Greenland”, “WW3”, and “We’re the baddies” on it.

        This is what I could find

        The construction of the Panama Canal was a monumental engineering endeavor that came at a significant human cost, with estimates suggesting that between 25,000 to 30,000 workers lost their lives during the project.

        Causes of Death:

        Disease: The tropical environment of Panama was rife with diseases such as yellow fever and malaria. The role of mosquitoes in transmitting these diseases was not yet understood during the early phases of construction, leading to high mortality rates among workers.

        Accidents: The construction process involved hazardous activities, including the use of explosives for excavation, operating heavy machinery, and working in challenging terrains. These factors contributed to numerous fatal accidents.

        Worker Demographics:

        French Construction Period (1881–1899): During this phase, a significant portion of the workforce comprised laborers from the Caribbean, particularly Afro-Caribbean workers from the West Indies. The French effort resulted in an estimated 22,000 deaths due to disease and accidents.

        American Construction Period (1904–1914): The United States employed a diverse workforce, including a large number of laborers from Barbados and other Caribbean nations. Over 5,000 workers died during this period, with many of the deceased being from Barbados.

        The majority of the workforce during both construction periods consisted of Afro-Caribbean laborers who endured grueling working conditions, disease exposure, and, in many cases, discriminatory treatment.

    If Canada was to become our 51st state

    The last time that was attempted forcefully, it ended up with them burning down the White House. Canada is also one of the major reasons we have international agreements banning the use of chemical weapons in warfare.

    So… maybe let’s just leave Canada to their own devices.

    I’m hoping these continual word salads mean the aneurysm in his brain is continuing to grow. Not that his vp moving into the presidency would be any better though, but hot damn would him croaking be so fucking satisfying. Hope he had plenty of hamberders as his xmas feast.

    This shouldn’t be normal behaviour for someone who holds such a high position. The highest in the world you could say. It’s baffling how you could hold one of the highest positions in the world and act like a child.

      Sorta feels like when countries starting rebelling against their own monarchies and overthrowing them. Maybe its just this form of oppressions last dieing breaths as it tries to keep itself relevant. People are literally calling for the gallows for those in power, so I’m not sure how crazy a thought that is. Its popping up in other countries too.

    He means Merry Xmas to the CEOs, who have successfully regained control of the remaining 99.99% of the population, and whose ancestors from the Virginia Company would be very proud.

    He forgot to wish Merry Christmas to the millions of illegal criminal immigrants who are eating our pets, stealing our women, and doing our jobs while getting free Healthcare from our government.
