"Trust is lost in buckets, and comes back in drops."

[raccoon]

I don't know who originally said that, but I've heard it around 12 step groups.

I'm referring to US-Canada relations.

1. Brutal betrayal by your best friend breaks your heart.

The heart may never heal, and the trust will never ever return.

[GreenWave]

5. It will return once the scourge is gone.

[Irish_Dem]

6. To return every 4 or 8 years.

[Moostache]

2. In crude, Trump-esque terms...

We just cheated on Canada with a meth-addicted hooker and posted the photos on our social media accounts for the world to see.

We're not only NOT getting a reconciliation any time Trump of his gang of thieves mouthpiece GOPer's are in control, we may NEVER recover from this idiotic move. I seriously would join any coalition of states that wished to secede from the Union and petition either Canada OR Mexico for admission to their nations. The former USA is the very definition of 'shit-hole nation' and the stench won't wash off soon...

3. Government contractors, too. Canceling payments destroys the "full faith and credit" of the government

[Mysterian]

4. Those are wise words

I'm going to remember that quote.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

7. Very appropriate for the situation & Europe. tRump has put the US into the bucket phase. . . . . nt

[Paladin]

8. Well and truly stated. (nt)

[surfered]

10. It also applies to DOGE claims of savings.

Their numbers can no longer be trusted. Too many errors, duplications, and misrepresentations.

[calimary]

11. That's a keeper, right there.

“Trust is lost in buckets, and comes back in drops."

Thanks, raccoon! GOOD one!
