Republican Rep. Chuck Kopp of Alaska, which shares a border with the Yukon and is separated from the contiguous U.S. by Canada, says the state doesn’t support the president’s trade war and annexation bid against Canada.
He has proposed a joint resolution in the state legislature that would affirm Canada’s sovereignty and recognize the enduring, centuries-old ties between Alaska and Canada.
Imagine Alaska seceding to Canada because the angry orange turd couldn’t help himself 😂
“We can have Canada as a 51st state!”
“Now we’re down to 49 states, you dumb ass.”
Puerto Rico still tries to enter the chat…
Puerto Rico has been removed from the chat and blocked… Admin notes just has the word “brown!”
Sad upvote
Puerto Rico has been replaced with a random journalist
OPSEC clean!

You’ve been misinformed by a hostile media. There have been 5 referendums since 2012 about statehood and they’ve all been in favor of statehood (if not by much), and the subsequent House bills to introduce the measure have all been stalled or killed in committee.

dei!
NGL, I can imagine Russia making a move for it and Trump letting them do it.

Daddy putin wouldn’t like that. I would to move to alaska before that deal went down. I already want to jack up this broken ass country and swap in a new hemi v8 country
Makes me want to move there quick to get in on the action.

I’ll be honest; didn’t expect that from Alaska but then again they’re sorta up there on their own, doing whatever…
Good though. Good. Maybe when the West Coast secedes and founds its own (superior!) country, well let Alaska join us. Maybe.
I live in Washington/BC and I can tell you, Alaska would starve if Canada didn’t allow use of its roads and facilities. I’m not surprised they sided with Canada and the west coast and east coast will too. Trump is a fucking moron.
Alaska is a very different kind of conservative state. They like the ability to do whatever they want as long as it benefits them even if it goes against the national Republican agenda.
Also economically it’s beneficial for Alaska to be a unique US state in terms of tourism and resource offerings. If Canada joined the US, Alaska loses a big aspect of their unique identity to BC/Yukon/NT.
If Canada joined the US
No, let me stop you right there.
I live in Canada, you’re preaching to the choir
we can cut them off badly… that’s the only reason they are pretending to be kind
they are also far removed from the main GOP in the states, so they are less affected by thier craziness.
Palin…
Don’t use that word, it’s horrible!
GOP leadership can’t be bothered to visit
So they aren’t idiots. Far as I can tell with MAGATs, they do stupid things even if it catches themselves on fire.
Well, we got places like Wassila (AKA Mobile Alaska) that have entirely drank the koolaid. One week there and you will be thanking god for fentanyl. Its not as bad but we still got crazies.
We got mostly republicans and office yet we also got Ranked Choice Voting which the GOP opposes.
Alaskans even have a form of UBI through the oil industry. It’s a state with more pragmatic people running it I suppose.
Sarah Palin is not invited. 😉
Then they shouldn’t have been MAGA aholes.
Alaska could join Canada couldn’t it? Damn … it may be worth getting an Alaskan mailing address.
My bet is that Putin demands Alaska as a token of good faith in order for HitlerPig to join the new alliance with Russia, China, and North Korea, and HitlerPig gives it to him. He’ll also give Taiwan to China for the same reason.
I don’t see the US allowing that. We have oil reserves there
This is why Trump wants Greenland, to balance off the loss of oil and other reserves when Putin claims Alaska again, like he said he will.
Sure, as long as it could get through the US military. There’s a lot of presence up there, including a lot of nuclear missiles and units related to missile defense. Not to mention, the vast untapped resources the Trump admin and republicans want to sell to corporations. The federal government couldn’t afford to just let Alaska go. It’s more likely a state like California or Texas would be allowed to secede from the Union than Alaska.
Washington too, please!
“May you live in interesting times.”
This is too fucking “interesting”.
That’s why its curse you say to your enemies
Trump invading alaska is a possibility I didnt consider
Amazingly smart for a Republican.
They are trying to get Canada to stop charging road tolls on US products travelling through Canada to get to them
This is a prerequisite to any trade deal and their threat of just shipping it by boat from California to Alaska didn’t work
Cool weather helped maintain his sanity.
Probably cause they know they’d be one of the first states to get badly economically blockaded if Trumo tries to start shit.
I prefer the cold over heat and hiking so if Alaska becomes part of Canada, hmmmm.
Downside, so many frigg’n mosquitoes.
