Summary
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem faced backlash for mocking Canada during a visit to the U.S.-Canada border in Vermont.
At the Haskell Free Library, which straddles both countries, Noem repeatedly stepped over the border line, declaring with a grin “U.S.A. No. 1” and calling Canada “the 51st state.”
Critics, including Canadian officials and social media commentators, condemned her remarks as insulting and unprofessional.
The stunt comes amid heightened U.S.-Canada tensions, with Trump imposing tariffs and openly suggesting annexation, prompting a strong response from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Oh, her. She shot a goat for some reason and the dog because she failed to train it and didn’t like what it was doing, then uses it to write about how she makes tough decisions and that she should be praised instead of ridiculed for being a huge piece of shit in a skin suit.
Some people just need the zipper yanked on their flimsy skin suit so the clotted pus burbling just underneath is plain for all the damn mouth breathers to see — though they’d probably just deep fry it on a stick in a thrombosis-primed heartbeat.
(Which, I’m sure we’re all pretty okay with too, considering the beneficial effects of such a fad taking off nationwide, much less globally.)
