Referring to such annexation as "official US policy" because Trump has disgustingly spoken out in favor of it is, to my mind, over the top

Its not like Donald Trump slipped into the white house while no one was looking. He received over 77 million votes in 2024, only one president of the US ever has received more.

Its not like Donald Trump made an offhand joke about Trudeau being the governor of the 51st state and then made clumsy excuses how that is not at all what he actually said. He was asked over and over and over about it and the furthest he ever walked it back was to say it probably wouldn't require a military invasion to accomplish, you know, probably won't come to that.

It may be unfortunate, you might not like it, you may wish it was different. But there is NOTHING over the top about noticing that the president of the United States of F-ing America, backed by 77 million votes and the most awesome military and economy the universe has ever seen, has said this over and over.


and, quite frankly, demoralizing.

Indeed. And you should be even more demoralized as you fully assimilate that there are a bunch of dead Houthis and deported non-citizens, including some who had valid Visas, who understand that what Donald Trump says IS "official US policy".

Enjoy the rest of your day,
