 | Your views, thoughts or simply opinions. The Economy is not well (understatement). I know there are some here that will try to link the country they are residing in as problems of the USA. Sorry the USA cannot be responsible for 100% of the problems in the world nor should they be expected to help repair all problems. |

What your statements are missing is the fact that the search for the cause, needs to be going on NOW. And the dams were not busted by conservatives ,we understand the need for water for a majority population of humans over a few fish. Conservatives didn't cut funding to the fire departments.
Conservatives didn't tighten insurance regulations a couple weeks before the fires.
As far as threats .Shouldn't be any threats.
BUT Until california has people ready to prosecute for arson,or can prove the fires were natural causes, no federal money should be used for anything other than humanitarian aid. Olympics, go some where else, we have a city to rebuild with the money that would be wasted on that.
Something happens in California -> It's the Democrats' fault.
Meanwhile Republicans have not improved anything, for anyone, in decades.
You don't want to improve anything, not for California, not for Florida and not for you, because you think people don't deserve anything. Anything you support now to make California suffer, will only come back to bite you.
The causes for wildfires are not just limited to arson and natural causes.
You also have lots of stupid people and a 3rd world electricity infrastructure.
"California is a Democratic stronghold and considered to be one of the "Big Three" Democratic strongholds alongside New York and Illinois."
And you know, the red states don't have alot of the same issues that need fixing, shit just simply works.
I'm sure Trump will take credit for Biden's infrastructure developments too.
It doesn't "simply work", it's all ancient crap that burns down every day somewhere.
It has been proven to cause multiple wildfires.

Over 1,500 California fires in the past 6 years — including the deadliest ever —
were caused by one company: PG&E. Here’s what it could have done but didn’t.

Even Fox'News' recognizes the problem and references an expert who directly connects power surges to the current wildfires.

People froze to death in Texas, because their shit didn't simply work.
California is where MOST of those electrical fires are.
However, your double standards are clearly visible again:
Something goes wrong in a blue state -> It's the Democrats fault
Something goes wrong in a red state -> It's people's ignorance
The problem in Texas can be directly linked with failing Republican policy,
not just cutting 2% from the fire department budget. Cutting fire department budgets NEVER CAUSE wildfires, it might at best reduce their effectiveness
in dealing with them.

It's possible that PG&E failing Californians is also caused by failing policy, which can then be blamed on the Democratic majority. If you provide arguments on that, you would be focusing on actual CAUSES, instead of failing risk mitigation measures. There is no level of risk mitigation measures that can possibly prevent all wildfires and hurricanes from doing large scale damage, especially not with their increased frequency and magnitude, due to climate change.
"According to available information, before 1800, California is estimated to have lost an average of around 4.5 million acres of land to wildfires annually, signifying a significant impact on the state's landscape due to natural fires.
"
"AI Overview
Learn more
In 1950, California did not lose a significant amount of land to wildfires as compared to recent years; detailed data on wildfire acreage burned in 1950 is not readily available, but records indicate that wildfire activity in California during that time was considerably lower than in recent decades due to different climate and land management practices. "
"According to California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire) statistics, 7,622 wildfires burned a total of 295,026 acres (119,393 hectares) in the US state of California in 2000."
Quite a drop in loss's is it not?
Now let's see here just in the past 14 years, how much was lost'
"According to available data, from 2010 to the present, California has lost millions of acres to wildfires, with the most significant recent fires including the Mendocino Complex, SCU Lightning Complex, and the August Complex, burning hundreds of thousands of acres each; the exact total acreage burned is difficult to pinpoint but is estimated to be in the millions of acres across the state. "
Now what has been known about the last 14 years, democrat leadership ,damn destruction, Dei , just look up the video of the woman responsible for water in LA county, back in july saying that DEI was her priority.
Why was the fucking mayor GONE during the fires, after saying she would not travel while she was mayor??????
You can say what you will about these fires, and yes high winds contributed, but who let the local reservoir go empty for a year, who busted the dams for the sake of FISH? democrats.
IS this the best time to be hashing and bashing democrats,perhaps we need to collect all the info and get the fires out first, then turn all hell loose on them.
Govenor newsome talking about LA 2.0, the people don't have enough insurance coverage to replace 1.0 and why the hell would they rebuild in the same place the high winds and mismanagement will continue to be a issue??
For example, Who decides to funnel Federal money to LA to help in whatever ways it is needed? Of all people I think biden signed some paperwork today to get the money headed that way. politics controls the money, regulates how the fires are fought, how the victums are treated and etc. Impossible not to mention government or politics in a situation like this.
Have you ever done anything similar for your community? Have you spent 100's of hours of your personal time to be trained to do a volunteer job to serve your community? I have. Although I am partially handicaped, I still serve my community and my neighbors at the capacity I can.
no hug needed.. just a simple.. Damn.. I feel bad for the people of California my fellow country men ..instead of all the finger pointing and political blame game.. it's the people in trouble that matter.
Yes those people have lost everything. Starting over with a 750 dollar fema check.IF they want to rebuild, or ever get a chance to, there needs to be education as to how it all happened so their hopes and dreams will be safer the next time.
where was his empathy? Why just ask me where mine is? I am simply responding to pitbull with legit info and questions.
By the Way pitbull, not trying to be a asshole towards you, just trying to explain to quint I was replying to you, also add to your list that IRAN has offered firefighting assistance. After reading and posting about the radial islamist being happy about what is going on, i was very surprised to read that. BUT even they have some empthy. Maybe I need to hang around some iranians hey?
That would be similar to North Korea offering help. Of course,no one remembers putin sending a plane load of aid items during covid either.
Who made these budget cuts?
NOW BIDEN JUMPIN JIMINEY... BY GOLLY I THROW YOU OUT
Greenland will be ours as well as panama. You're fucked. Soon because Europe has cheated out America for many years when you walk outside you will see red-white-blue with Donald Trump's picture leading the way..
Without the deep state which is being destroyed as we speak your main line of stolen money will end.

Meanwhile, you are talking about conquering land from allies,
for the glory of the great leader. Tell me how that's not Nazi shit.
Not everyone who voted for Trump is a Nazi, but EVERY Nazi who voted,
voted for Trump. You might be one of them.
You have no idea what nazi's are or why they formed. They formed to create power and dominence. Still you say socialism is the best way but it was the Germans that used this tool blaming innocent people for materialism and power as a revenge for this Treaty of Versailles?
. Blaming the Jew was their excuse but the real criminals that caused Germany into ruin was the lust of destruction and impiety. .. The whole world was to blame, the vatican, russia United Kingdom, the media and American industialists. Hitler was in jail and Germany was broke!! How the fuck did they all of a sudden get all those planes, weapons and prosperity? Was it the Leprochan or going to look for the piggy bank of pennies? The world knew of the atrocities. They read meine kempf. Kill and sterolize the jews, right? Yet all of the sterolizations that were going on at the time most Americans didn't know what was going on. BUT America knew. They were the fucking bastards of the rich helped out financing Hitler to armoment. Time magazine labled Hitler man of the year of 1939...
That's fucking right,, 1939!!! So who were the nazi's. in Germany? Or was it the world? It was only after the battle of stalingrad they were forced to all go against germany. Not until 35 million Jews slaughtered as well as communists, gypsies, homosexuals.. ect.....
in America the industrailists that were rich represented the democratic party as well as a good section of Repubicans although they helped convertly... Roosevelt turned away 1000s of Jews to the gas chambers not only here,, Ironically the country that offered the most safe havens was Germany, can you believe that??
Nazism and socialism are all terms defining control. Those that opposed were eliminated yet you still preach socialsim is the best way..
Trump is not excluding military force! He is most definitely talking about doing a hostile takeover. If you want to buy it, in a honest and decent manor, it will cost the American tax-payer many trillions of dollars. And then what? Then Trump wants to give it away to big companies to drill the oil and mine the minerals, so they can make lots of money from YOUR present to them.
"The world owes us a shitload of money." For spreading your imperialism?
You are in heaps of debt, because you gave it away to your billionaires.
"You have no idea what nazi's are or why they formed. They formed to create power and dominence." Wow, what an enlightened explanation. It literally covers every big government ever. That makes the Nazis not very special, don't you think? Explain what ideology made them decide to do genocide of a specific group of people defined by their religion. Socialism? There was nothing socialist about the Nazi's even if they used the term. It wasn't even communism. Hitler was working directly with wealthy people and giving them control over the means of production; he increased capitalism.
Socialism is defined by social ownership of the means of production. Social ownership means democratically controlled public ownership. Instead of billionaires owning everything and making profit from their ownership, it means the profit would go back in the public capital, to fund housing projects, infrastructure, education, healthcare, medical advancements, childcare, social security, disability , etc., instead of you having to pay for it yourself, from billionaires making more money from that too.
You are very confused about what those terms mean. Although ownership is indeed very much related to control, it's not the same thing.
Socialism is an economic model for SHARED ownership between all citizens.
It's the opposite of capitalism, an economic model where private wealthy people have most of the ownership.
Communism is an economic model where the government has most of the ownership.
Terms for control are described by terms like democracy, liberalism, authoritarianism, oligarchy, dictatorship, etc.
Socialism is dependent on spreading power over as much of the people as possible, because otherwise their ownership would be taken back by wealthy individuals, in no time, but it doesn't define it.
Democracy: Control given to elected representatives in a government.
Liberalism: The principle that control should be limited and distributed over separate entities in a government to balance and oversee each other.
Authoritarianism: The principle of giving maximum power to control everything and everyone with an iron fist, to a small group of leaders or one leader.
Oligarchy: A small group of wealthy people having control of a country or organization.
Dictatorship: Having one leader 'dictate' everything the government should do.
"the lust of destruction and impiety" Ever heard the term "God mit uns!"?
Hitler rose to power by blaming the sorrow and poverty of the people on the current government and the Jews. Trump has been re-elected by blaming the sorrow and poverty of the people on the current government and immigrants, woke people and transgenders. He's even using the same rhetoric as Hitler. His own VP called him America's Hitler, only a few years ago, but he's a spineless careerist, so he has flipped.
In America the "industrialists" have always played both sides. What would be the justification to just play one side, in a democracy? That would be stupid, because the voter would be able to take their power away. Both parties cuck to the wealthy, for money. Most politicians are rich or wealthy themselves. They come in, stack the odds in their favor and collect the profits. Some of them don't even take a government wage, because that's peanuts to them. The will just create an entity like DOGE, cut billions of spending for the average American, calling it waste, so they can pay less taxes, while the average American has to spend more for everything they need, to have a decent life. Just wait and see.
America was doubting their side for a long time. America was very conservative, racist and right-wing, and they liked Hitler, because he was very conservative, racist and right-wing. That's why he also slaughtered communists, gypsies (the immigrants of their time), homosexuals, etc. If there were transgender around during those times, Hitler would have slaughtered them too. You're so close to understanding it.
Pretty wild accusation against your former president there. Many Jews actually fled to Russia. Others fled to the United Kingdom, Free France (Algeria), Sweden, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, Canada, and the United States. Of course the US and Canada were a bit far away. They couldn't just easily take a plane to the US, like nowadays. "..most safe havens was Germany, can you believe that??"
Not from you just saying that. I've tried to find information about that, but most information is about how many fled Germany, which is the large majority. I'd be interested in the stories about how German Jews survived in Germany itself.
If it's just white supremacist propaganda, no thank you.
In any case, from the 6 million Jews who were exterminated by the Nazi, only at maximum 525,000 were German Jews, because the population of Germany was only about 1% Jewish. All they others came from other countries. That's just a fact and it is something to think about. It's not like antisemitism was only popular in Germany, that's for sure.
The social media bullshit of the 4th grader on Elon Musk proves nothing.
You want to promote socialism here by making lies of calling people racists, they are the dictator, the criminalls, xenophobes, sexists of those that don't agree with you. Are you saying i'm one of these or all of the above?? But when we get down to the pure hard facts of the druth you then divert with bullshit. Socialism is only another word promoting slavery, control through diversions of the truth. Democracy is the desire to reach freedom through moral correctness. When you have the desire to reach justice the only path that can be taken is throuh unity and education.
Why is this so difficult for you? I'd like to know. Circles and repititions continue over and over again. Is it pride? Egoism? You tell me.
Oh, you're that guy! Getting into the definitions game again?
I'm not a dictionary. Terms mean to me what they are defined as, by dictionaries.
Ask ChatGPT, if you want to have a good explanation of the differences between terms.
I don't base my principles on definitions, but on what kind of world I would like to live in. That results in certain ideas. If some of those ideas can be described by existing terms, I use those terms to more efficiently explain my ideas. If you then want to redefine those terms, to misrepresent my ideas, then you're only making communication more difficult. You're not actually arguing ideas that way.
"Democracy is the desire to reach freedom through moral correctness."
Strange way of describing democracy. Where did you find that definition?
"When you have the desire to reach justice the only path that can be taken is throuh unity and education."
Unity? In what form? All people thinking alike or some form of united government?
There have been many attempts of achieving unity in history and most of them were horrible. What are you referring to as "education" in that context?
You are redefining socialism to what YOU think it means, or what you want people to think it means, to straw-man what I think. That's just a cheap trick.
I can translate the ideological principles of the Socialist Party, I support, by being a member, for you. Then you can show everyone what's criminal, xenophobe and sexist about it. Are you interested?
Or you can do it yourself with Google translate or ChatGPT.

I could ask so many questions about sections of that but it would take a lot of typing for anyone to do that. but I must ask, WHERE , please tell me where , is the incentive for a person to try to be anything but a useless lump in that society?
If you work twice as hard as the people beside you to make a little more money, it appears it taken away and spread out so you can't get ahead. "one person is never more than the other. " that concept, will eventually bring about a society where there would be no one for a leader, no one for a problem solver, no one to save the people when the system finally falls down.
There is no facility there for a person to be anything but a peon and servant to the state essentially. Perhaps not to the government directly but everyone just a slave to each other.I can't eat unless i give you water to give me food.i can't drill a well and have water and grow a garden to have food,it would all be taken away and spread out and I would only have a morsel of what I had worked for. So I would stop and if everyone said fuck it, all would die.
Another example of what makes me scratch my head. Ok so everyone goes to college over there and comes out a genius. So genius's think they are to good to work, so how do you open a factory to make a bed frame for example? no one person is more than another,so who is the supervisor? who draws the plans? Who cuts the wood? why bother with a salary,it's all going to the "people",the 1's that are at home watching tv in the bed that your company made last week after flipping coins to see who would run the saw.
That system makes no sense the more i read. wow,I am 1 bless ed man to be not be born over there. At least here in America we can go out and at least TRY to be more than useless giant ugly bags of water .

Just trying to reach your arm above the folks in front of you to wave to someone could very well look like a nazi salute.
I worked with a guy who made Nazi jokes all the time. He liked to impersonate Hitler, in fluent German too. He did more Nazi salutes then you would see in the average WWII movie. The difference is that he was JOKING. He isn't a racist and he votes for centrists. It's easy to spot the difference between persiflage and appropriation.
If you support white supremacy, authoritarianism, inequality, nationalism, imperialism, militarism, exclusion from 'the others', anti-intellectualism, anti-secularism, anti-science, and don't fear violence in the pursuit of what you support, than it's fair to call you a fascist, because your ideas then closely match it's definition. The only difference between Nazis and fascists, is the crimes they committed. However, I'm not waiting until history repeats itself, before I speak out against ideas, that were responsible for those crimes in the past.
If someone like that is than also supporting crimes against international law, I indeed start referring to the actual Nazis.
identification with one's own nation and support for its interests
I am a American, I put my country and it's issues far ahead of other countries and their issues. what is the fault in that?
Anti-intellectualism is a general distrust of experts and intellectuals, and a rejection of critical thinking and education. It can also be expressed as a preference for practical education over intellectual pursuit
Considering the number of intelligent people in the room yesterday, I would hardly consider Trump or his people to meet this definition.
Anti-secular is a term that may refer to opposition to the separation of church and state, or to the idea that religion should play a role in public life
Most of us feel like religion removed totally is what has lead to the loss of morals and the decline of our society in general.
imperialism
a policy of extending a country's power and influence through diplomacy or military force.
Trying to keep the panama canal safe from chinese control is a world wide security issue. and making a deal with Greenland could be a asset to world security so making some deals with these folks is not just for the US sake.
I don't fear nationalism in the way you define it. In that way, I'm a nationalist too.
What I fear is support of ALL the actions of your country, above anything and everyone else. I don't do that. Is there a limit to your nationalism?
To be more accurate; substitute the term "nationalism" for "ultranationalism".
That's what I would call the problematic version of nationalism.

You really had to look hard to find definitions of "imperialism" and "secularism" that you like for the purpose of arguing against my positions. Below are the definitions that I support.
Imperialism: A policy of extending a country's territory, power and influence,
through colonization, use of military force, or other means.
Historical: rule by an emperor.
Secularism is not "religion removed totally".
It's: "the principle of separation of the state from religious institutions"
In what way do you not understand the difference?
The idea that the Panama canal would be under Chinese control is Trumpian nonsense. I wouldn't like it if it was true, but fortunately it isn't true. There is no reason to do imperialism to "save" Panama, because their not at risk. Taking control of Panama or just it's canal would make you just as bad as what you are accusing China of. Your country isn't in any way more trustworthy than China. In fact, China tends to respect an agreement much more than the US usually does.
"Considering the number of intelligent people in the room yesterday" where?
How did you determine their intelligence?
You cannot just make a deal with Greenland, because it's owned by Denmark.
It's not up to you to consider what asset it is to world security.
It's a lie every imperialist tells you, before they take what doesn't belong to them.
If you want to buy it from Denmark and Denmark want's to sell it, freely,
through diplomacy, without military pressure or financial trickery, fine by me, but Denmark has already told you they are not interested. I also think they don't trust you, because your side doesn't have a good track record on keeping promises.
Especially Trump is notorious for buying things and services and not paying.
Understand that NATO is a non-aggression pact. Denmark is a founding member
of NATO, just like the US. A hostile takeover in a financial manor is considered aggression too. Is Trump going to exit NATO and alienate the other 31 members?
Understand that the combined strength of the other 31 members exceeds yours.
We probably won't have a war over a big cold piece of rocks, but are you willing
to isolate yourself over it? It's not "America first" it's "America on it's own".
There is nothing "Great Again" about that.
No different than putin declaring war on ukriane, then adding in the denazification later to make ukraine look evil.
If you want to claim it is all about power, well in these case's it was.

Good work Gavin Newsome! What a loser! Has yet to provide a single new reservoir. Meanwhile, let's MILLIONS of gallons of water drain into the ocean. '
And for what? To appease some dumb Indians and to protect a fish that is functionally extinct!
Hydrants DRY! Then puts the blame on local officials. A true leader! (also remember he dined out during COVID when he banned anyone else from doing that)
Failed to remove dead brush and trees. Nothing like leaving fuel during fire season!
Cunt mayor in Africa as her state burns. Also cunt the fire budget by nearly $18M!
Refused help from FDNY to help fight the fires!
Celebrities turning on the gov and mayor! I love it when they eat their own!
Gavin just saw his chance to be run for US president fucked off. Likely facing a recall.
Cunt mayor also facing a recall. 50K signatures and counting!

The fight to remove the four lower Klamath dams began in earnest in the early 2000s, led by the Yurok, Karuk and Klamath tribes.
I have yet to find any updated info of a response by the indians to the ideas ,claims, theory's and so forth that the damn removals may have contributed very much to the heavy losses of homes and lives. It seems as if they don't care perhaps? I guess they got their damn fish and the rest don't matter? Sadly, the mercury levels will be high in those fish probably due to the fires separating the chemicals in building materials and sending them into the air to distribute all the country thanks to the jet stream.
Newsome should have built new lakes or ponds or something to hold water for fire fighting BEFORE the dam removals took place.
There is more than enough water available in the area to put out fires.
The Klamath dam never even held back that much water. There are much better locations for firefighting aircraft to fill up.
In October 2024, the Waterman Turnout Hydroelectric station powered up in California. The 1 MW facility generates power using the high-pressure flows

"From 1990 to 2022, Californians’ per-capita spending on law enforcement rose by 52% in constant, inflation-adjusted dollars to a total of roughly $25.5 billion (Figure 1, Table 1).3 California’s police are hardly being “defunded;” rather, they are receiving record high per-capita funding."

The lowest-spending per capita states in 2021 were Kentucky ($232), Arkansas ($241), Indiana ($251), and Maine ($256). Did they "defund the police"?
Makes their job almost useless.
And yea, I see the typo, and just used it, you probably meant to say defund.
That has happened to. regardless of what your numbers say.
Fire and ems was also defunded in california.why are over a 100 broke down fire trucks sitting in lots right now?
As for those states with low exspenses, research their enforcement rate, i bet their court houses doors don't swing in and out. they probably arrest a crook and keep them in jail a while so the cops aren't running in circles.
punishment? In America a possession charge can send people away
for years. You know that's not happening in my country, right?
So why do you have so much more crime, of all types, in your country?
Of course the police in my country cannot just kill unarmed black people
and get away with it, but that's not a requirement for policing.
They seem to be doing fine, despite all their restriction and despite
our less harsh punishment.
I do notice that our police is a lot more relaxed than yours.
It might have something to do with all those AR-15s everywhere in the US.
I corrected that one letter, to not confuse anyone.
Why was a complete police department too afraid to go into a school,
to save dozens of children, from ONE GUY with an AR-15?
But any dullard can walk in a place and pull a trigger and throw random bullets in every direction.
Police being afraid? Well it is simple fear,and shock that their choice of jobs has suddenly put them in harms way and they cower like wimps behind cars and such. forgetting all about their sworn duty to protect and serve. Which sadly our supreme court decided along time ago they are not LEGALLY obligated to fulfill, Morally yes, Legally, no. Also the IQ of law enforcement is average or slightly below. It was clearly stated in the papers of a lawsuit in Boston in 1999 that police organizations do not want high iq individuals because they might get bored with their jobs and question their orders. Research that. results of a mans lawsuit that sued over being turned down for the police academy because his iq was to high. Makes 1 wonder just what are police being ordered to do that would prompt questions from them? Why is the job boring? could it be they realize their work is futile as long as there are liberal judges and such in place?
It's a weapon which was designed for the military, to kill the most people
in the least amount of time. It turns one person in the most lethal force possible. The AR-15's high-velocity bullet can penetrate soft body armor worn by law enforcement officers. The police know that to kill one guy,
who can use it, it takes at least one cop to sacrifice their life.
That's the shock of it.
ineptness is rampant. So many of the terrible things that have happened lately could have been prevented had the police went and picked up the looney toon BEFORE they committed the acts. Figure out whats going on with the looney toon and act accordingly.
By the way, had Trump lost his life to the looney toon with a ar-15, would you still hate the gun??
How did you want them to respond, before it happened?
You cannot arrest someone who has not done anything illegal yet.
We're not living in the movie Minority Report.
What would they do, if they even had the time to investigate people who say crazy shit (online). Republicans have made it virtually impossible to take away the guns from such a person.
And even if they took his guns, he can get new ones easy the next day.
You're referring to common sense gun regulation, while voting for a party who wants no gun regulation at all.
Or are you saying that you cannot take someone's guns away,
but preemptively locking people up, that's OK?
Maybe your country would finally do something about your gun craziness,
if Trump had been killed by one of those lunatics.
Honestly, I don't think your country would go in a better direction if Trump had been killed. It's too late for that, the cat is already out of the bag.
You will just find an even worse or an effective monster. Even former Democrats have now voted for Trump. They should come to regret their mistake. With Trump there is a good chance of that, because he is incredibly stupid and all the people he put in his administration are selfish assholes with their own agenda. I don't think they will be very effective and I do think they will create a lot of chaos. When people see that, I hope they are cured. I am pretty confident about the chaos, just not that much trust in the ability of Americans to learn anything.
It's just up to the Democrats to fight for democracy and to actually present a good alternative for once. Unfortunately, Democrats can't win with a buffoon like Trump. They only need to realize that you need a real populist to beat a fake populist.

How about Trump pardoning his co-conspirators.
How about Trump pardoning himself and his family?
Here's the difference.. Joe Biden pardoned his family but they weren't even charged with anything,,, YET.
jan 6th rioters were innocent.
The one's that WERE guilty were hired as inpersonators of Trump supporters in Ghost Trucks that were set up by the FBI.
Do you know what Ghost trucks are? Undercover FBI agents that were disguised as trump supporters jumping the wall and breaking the windows breaking into the capitol. Why would they do that if they were letting people walk into the capitol.
I remember telling you this before months ago. What the fuck is the matter with you? I told you this and it still comes down to this.. Hey ye know? reading comprehension sucks or what? only registered users can see external links
Maybe his family too, but that's only coming out if it's relevant.
Biden did indeed pardon his son. Any other members of his family?
It's 100% clear that your side keeps going after Hunter Biden for ever.
It's a shame Joe promised not to do it and then still did.
That was stupid. It's not like Trump ever promised anything like that, did he?
If just saying shit is an argument; Hunter was innocent. OK?
Or did he have one of those rare honest judges?
Of course all the ones that judge your side are deep state.
But, somehow they couldn't acquit their presidents only son.
"Ghost trucks" with "Undercover FBI agents"?
OMG, it requires believing/parroting a lot of bullshit, to be you.
If the FBI is ready to do that for the Democrats, why are we even talking about Trump, right now? He would have been assassinated when he challenged Obama's nationality. You wouldn't have a Fox'News' or any of your other liars.
Then, you yourself would have probably already disappeared years ago.

Good Job, America!
If the losing candidate for president is proven to have lost by every independent expert, the experts he hired himself and 60 court cases, and he's still calling the winner a cheat,
I say "Horrific Conman!".
If that losing candidate for president is then organizing fake electors, while his VP doesn't want to cooperate, and he sends an angry mob to obstruct the election proceedings and hang his VP, I say "Traitor!".
But when the winning candidate thanks his billionaire buddy for his landslide victory
in a state, because he knows those vote counting computers better than anybody...
What can I say?
I say: FBI, CIA, NSA and Cyber Ninjas, get your ass auditing and investigating the Pennsylvania election, for this clear admission of election fraud.
it's been completely debunked, but when your side admits fraud,
people who care about democracy should "get over it".
I learned from what Trump did. I'm sorry to say you didn't.
Biden is definitely to blame, but Americans are more to blame.
Biden did his best to take care of America. Of course that can't be said of Republicans, who did their best to damage America.
The Bible includes many examples of people who were considered sinners but were used by God, including people who were poor, broken, or unqualified.
Examples of sinners used by God
Noah: Became drunk
Jacob: A schemer
David: A murderer and adulterer
Jonah: Ran away from God
Gideon: From a weak clan, but called by God to fight the Midianites
Moses: Had anger issues
Joshua: Was afraid of his enemies
Rahab: A prostitute in Jericho
Peter: Denied Christ three times
Samson: Was prideful
Isaac: Had poor parenting skills
God often uses people who are unlikely or unqualified, and who wouldn't seek the glory for themselves.
Genocide of everyone, except Noah and his family.
Good example, phart! I'm very much put at ease now.
Parade inside? How the hell does that work? again, I think there is a viable threat.
And sadly, with so many radical leftist and iran wanting him dead, it will be a constant struggle to keep him secure.
1 survey I read mentioned that over 55% of the people ask said they fear for his safety today.
Who's talking about a parade? The inauguration ceremony is most often done outside.
Last time indoors was 1985, the inauguration of Ronald Reagan.
That day the temperature reached 7 degrees Fahrenheit (-14 Celsius) in Washington. "The medical people told them that exposed areas would freeze in less than five minutes, with wind-chill factors like on that day."
I will admit, had I been blessed with a chance to be there today, I would probably be doing my best impressions of bernie sanders in his chair but I would brave the cold to be EYE witness to history in the making
Beso's, Musk, 4 former presidents and vices,world leaders, a security nightmare I think they handled quite well. the music is BLAH, I have RSBN playing on youtube as I am typeing and the music in the arena is like BLAH. I don't care much for Kidd Rock but at least it is not sleeping music.other than the Anthem.
Later, about 2 oclock, I went by a local greek resturant, beside a shoe shop I was going to next, and Fox news was on the tv, that's why I went there so I wouldn't miss alot, and the young gal there, about 25,covered in tatoos, ear hole rings the size of silver dollars, I am thinking, Oh boy I bet she aint happy> BUT I was WRONG. She came up, ask my drink order and I said sweet tea, and I was looking up at the tv and she chimed in and said" me and the owner have been keeping up with it all day, so glad we have a real President now,and there only 2 genders and he is putting God back in the nations capitol" I was dumbfounded, happy, glad I was wrong. 2 young WOMEN that support Trump.
All the bad shit liberals have called him, everything that has been done to him and what has been said about him and the young people can see right thru the bullshit!
There is HOPE for this country after all, I am about to go to bed tonight feeling good about being a American.
No tax on tips, military going to the border to regain control, ditched the WHO and what is in paris can stay in paris,we don't need their agreement either.
So far, a great job!
And for all you liberal cunts reading you will be required to salute our flag when Trump comes into your country whilel dressed in uniform..

"The prime minister of Greenland said, 'We are not for sale, but we are open for business' – I think we ought to take him at his word," Stavridis said of Premier Mъte Egede, according to The Hill.
Regardless of forging a deal to bring Greenland under U.S. control from Denmark, the Greenlanders say they are at least ready for independence.
"Greenland is for the Greenlandic people," Egede said Friday. "We do not want to be Danish, we do not want to be American. We want to be Greenlandic."
Egede added he is "ready" to talk to Trump on a deal.

He is officially a convicted felon.
I read it was because he’s a South African, not American born.. and a billionaire who got handed the position along with Vivek to be able cut social security and Medicaid for Government efficiency… plus something about Visas to bring foreign tech guys in because he says they are more educated than Americans.. don’t know enough about it, that’s why I’m asking
You certainly can’t believe everything you read.
Take this google Ai response to quality of US education,
"
When compared to other developed countries, the US education system is generally considered to be below average, particularly in math and science, with students performing significantly lower than their peers in countries like Singapore, Finland, and Canada on international standardized tests,"
"The United States spends more on education than most other countries, "
In other words we don't get much for the money we spend.
And I Agree, with Vivek whole heartedly, to me , since our schools have been dumbed down by crt and common core math and dei, and more concern for the lgbtq community instead of actual knowledge, only foreign people have the actual knowledge to do anything. Foreign people still have a grasp of the fact knowledge is power and knowledge will earn you wages.People with knowledge are a far greater asset to America than ball players and the like. In the long term, i don't think social security and Medicare are in much danger. Besides,
neither were designed to maintain a living, they were meant to assist later in life. You are supposed to go get a job, build seniority for wage increases ,invest in your employers stock options and invest in your own retirement plans. People bounce from job to job for a dollar more on the hour and expect government to sustain them when they get to old to job hop.
I also agree with you on society caving to the lgbtq community. I attended a sports tournament at a Secondary school.. after a couple of coffees I need to use the can.. The first one I found had a sign on the door ..something about self identified male washroom.. I didn’t even know what that meant.. it took me a minute. I have nothing against the community but this is all getting ridiculous. Maybe if we revamped the whole washroom sign thing down to either penises or vaginas instead of blurry gender issues, it would sort itself out.. lol
As far as Medicaid is concerned.. I hope they don’t cut it.. I am sure there are hard working American families, retirees and especially young families with sick kids that need legitimate help.
I was under the impression that social security was the Canadian equivalent of old age security, which you pay into .. or loan the government if you look at it that way.. designed so you still have a income to collect when you retire, whether you have other personal investments or not.. Does social security include welfare as well? They are 2 separate entities up here.
"The United States spends more on education than most other countries. In other words we don't get much for the money we spend."
I HAVE BEEN TELLING YOU FOR YEARS!!!
It's because those other countries have PUBLICLY FUNDED education.
You're denying many smart kids a quality education, because their parents are poor. That results in less highly qualified engineers. Because you only want the dumb kids of rich people studying, you now have to import your highly qualified engineers.
I hope those IMMIGRANTS, will all vote for DEMOCRATS, DUMB-ASSES!!
it is only the kids that have any brains that are worth sending to college either on scholarship or loans. to many going to college that don't need to be there.
then not enough kids are going to college and universities.
Or is your argument that most Americans are just too dumb?
It's either one or the other.
It should not even be legal for a kid to quit school at 16. They can't even drive yet at that age in most states now by themselves. They can't vote, drink,or die for their country, so what makes them smart enough to think they can just drop out of school that is not costing them a red cent?
why only have public funded K thru 12?
Nothing you are saying is a justification for denying smart kids a good education, just because their parents are poor. It's not good for anyone, not good for them and not good for your country; it's a waste of talent.
or keep a bank balance or most anything needed to maintain a life of a mature adult over 18. Kids quitting at 16 made a little bit of sense back in 1940 or something when farming was the main way people out in the countryside made it thru life but kids don't have that excuse anymore. How can a 16 year old that hasn't completed high school in modern times, vote wisely? They can't, most likely will vote for whatever party gives them something for little or nothing. think about that.
k thru 12 is plenty for a person going to work in most trades where you can apprentice a while and progress thru the ranks. to many 60 years old doing manual labor today because college kids get hired off the street to run crews and companys with little to no actual experience in the field. which is not good
It will just make young people leave school even younger, because their parents cannot afford it.
One reason for why they want to privatize education, is because by 1st amendment they can make no law respecting an establishment of religion.
They want to pump fundamentalist Christianity into the heads of children,
so they need to take education out of the hands of government.
No way will messing up the heads of children with that insane version of Christianity help your high tech economy. You are going to need even more H-1B immigrants to do the jobs Americans are not capable of doing.
public education is leaning away from those objectives.
A couple of years back there was a case of a boy claiming to be a girl sexually harassing a girl in the school bathroom only to be quietly transferred to another school as to HIDE what happened to prevent it from being public. he then REPEATED the offense and then it was made public. Only after 2 girls have been traumatized was something done about it.
The fact the school system Hides these events to prevent bad publicity is 1 of the reasons parents want private schools or at least more control and more transparency in the public schools.
Here is the case you can read about it, male wore a skirt into the girls restroom, school covered the situation up.

It has been just as true and just as false, for all that time.
And nothing has ever been improved by complaining about it.
What has been proved, is that your ideas about it don't work.
Your logic would be undeniable. Instead, they unravel at the slightest scrutiny.
I can explain the logic ,it gives the kid a foundation of knowledge of how to maintain different aspects of their lives and knowledge they can use to get a first job.
What is your reason behind thinking this is illogical?
It's easy to support the logic of something no one objects to.
It's simple; if kids don't finish school, they will have a hard time to survive
in modern society. That's not good for them and not good for society.
Support the logic of your American model for education, which is more expensive than most other countries, but with much worse outcomes and a much lower overall education level.
Or support the logic of your healthcare system, which is the most expensive
in the world, but has much worse outcomes, for a majority of your citizens.
Support the logic of your oligarchic capitalist system, which makes the US the wealthiest country in the world, but also has a much higher poverty rate, one of the highest percentages of homeless people and the lowest minimum wage in the developed world. In one breath you are complaining about people not being able to afford groceries and in the next breath you want to give more money to the wealthy and less to the working class. What is the logic there?
He made his billions by scamming the system of investments in the development
of medication for Alzheimer. He knew a drug to treat Alzheimer failed all tests,
but he bought the rights to that drug very cheaply. Then he had his mother cook the documentation on the test results, so the looked more promising. Then he advertised the drug like it was the best invention since sliced bread, to pump up the stocks of his shell company, that he created for that one drug. It made that company worth a lot of money, but it was based on that one failed drug. He knew the drug would fail in the next clinical trials, but he sold all his stock, just before that happened. He changed the name of the company at a strategic time, so all the honest investors were fooled.
Some of those investors are likely family members of people with Alzheimer, or charities taking donations from family members of people with Alzheimer, or maybe even the inheritances of people who died of Alzheimer. That's the money that turned Vivek into
a billionaire, without him doing anything for Alzheimer patients and their family.
Vivek intentionally screwed those investors over, to enrich himself. That increases the development costs of pharmaceuticals and their price. What is efficiency of healthcare, if billions of dollars of it are going to scammers like Vivek, instead of to patients?
Buying and selling stocks of a company you have insider information about is actually
a CRIME. Ramasmarmy did an even worse crime, but he isn't being held accountable. He should be in jail for many years, but instead he's being allowed to control the most important finances in the USA.
Are they saying Elon Musk is responsible for people dying, because they have been denied important care or medication?
Can you explain what you mean with "in the same light"?
"a rich man, having power to make changes in the world"?
The issue is not just one 'mentally ill' person killing a CEO,
it's the majority of Americans agreeing with it. Are they all mentally ill?
By the way, many Americans who agree with it are right-wingers.
He didn't create the system, but he was the worst abuser IN IT.
Your politicians created the system. You voted for those politicians.
I was interested in what light you view the United Health CEO,
so I could consider if that also applies to Elon Musk.
I think many people would think Elon Musk is "rich, corrupt, self serving" too.
I don't think Elon Musk is just as directly damaging to people as Brian Thompson was, but he is doing great damage to democracy. He literally bought the presidency for Trump and is now directly involved in US national finances. I think that he's not at all interested in the efficiency of government spending, but that he's just interested in deciding what the US government spends its money on. He doesn't care about spending money on people and he wants the government to spend money on his
pet projects. That's super corrupt. That power should not be available to someone
who wasn't elected. However, don't be angry at Elon Musk for that, be angry at Republicans allowing it and the voters who voted for them.
because those are cheaper. If I were MAGA, that would feel like treason to me.

-- “He is more attuned to the needs of everyone instead of just the rich,”
Mosura, 55, said on a recent afternoon. “I think he knows it’s the poor people
that got him elected, so I think Trump is going to do more to help us.” --
She will find out how wrong she was, the hard way.
However, Trump clearly and unambiguously promised that he won't cut
social security and medicare.... He just needs Elon to do it for him.
This is exactly what you think of, when people are talking about waste
in the system. Instead, I think of the 30 billion that the fossil fuel companies
get each year in subsidies. Why does the most profitable industry in the world need government handouts? It's just a tip for them.
we all need fuel for transportation. making sure oil Companys are in good financial shape is as critical as making sure power company's, phone company's and our farms are in working order. fuel is a link the chain of our survival. a interruption can be devastating. I will admit, the oil companies are the 1's suffering the least of all of them. and shouldn't need anything but a fund set aside for emergencys. But I didn't set up the system.
Fossil fuel companies can provide fuel without getting 30 billion per year
in subsidies. It's a massively profitable PRIVATE industry. If it's a private industry, that the voters have almost no control over, then why fund it with
public money? Are you a capitalist or not?
As a socialist, I want critical utilities, that are important for our survival, directly controlled by the voters. And I don't want public money going to private profits. When you let critical utilities be controlled by private owners, they can price gauge you, because even if they jack up the price to a ridiculous level, you cannot stop paying for something you need for your survival. If a restaurant would ask $80 for a nothing special hamburger, they would go out of business immediately, because of competition, but there is hardly any competition in the fossil fuel business. They are even allowed to make price agreements, in a cartel; OPEC. What other business is allowed to screw the customers like that?
You don't need the fossil fuel industry to be in good financial shape, you just need them to DELIVER, at a decent price. Instead, they are screwing you.
There is only one reason for why the oil industry gets their subsidies;
they donate lots of money to politicians, who thank them with your tax-dollars. It's their 15000% return on investment, and you are paying for it.
(30 billion / 200 million = 15000%)
It is NOT Elon's fault people don't get a good education in a useful trade or industry. as a example off topic but same issue of dumb ass's in the wrong jobs, look at our cheif of navel operations in the usa, has a bachelors in journalism! NO MILITARY EXPERIANCE! DUH, that IS not good for the military.
so some wealthy asshole can make more money?
"It is NOT Elon's fault" No, it's the fault of the people you vote for.
You have a foreign born billionaire stealing jobs from Americans and giving them to hired foreign workers.. and insulting your intelligence while he’s doing it. I thought part of Make America Great Again was about jobs for Americans. I don’t believe there isn’t enough Americans educated enough to do these jobs.. if there isn’t .. You would think, they would bring a few over to educate and train some.
I read that the visa’s include a clause that if they get fired, they are deported back home.. great way to control your employees.
But people don't even want to finish high school,or they borrow money to go to college when they had a c average and couldn't get a grant or scholarship. that's my point,why are people with below A grades trying to go to college and getting in debt for a degree in Theology and religion
Liberal arts
Leisure and hospitality
Early childhood education
Elementary education
Family and consumer sciences.
You can't get anywhere with those degrees.
Now get a degree in Nursing or engineering or finance, you will get a decent job and be making a real difference in peoples lives.
it's not rocket science. America wan't built by dumbass's but it is being run by them now.
NO YOU DON'T! Do I need to remind you that your private healthcare system
is the most expensive system in the world and it ranks 38th in the world for healthcare quality of care.

It's not just healthcare, it's EVERYTHING. In the US, everything is focused around maximizing private profits. That's the complete opposite of YOU,
as the customer/consumer, getting the most for your money.
None of them has ANY experience in the fields he appoints them to,
except for maybe experience in destroying the field they are going to lead.
He puts a billionaire in charge of government expenses, while that billionaire is making lots of money from government expenses.
They are probably going to cut healthcare expenses, under the leadership of Vivek, a criminal who stole money from pharmaceutical research investments.
RFK Jr. will oversee the Department of Health and Human Services, while the lunatic doesn't believe in modern medicine at all and believes AIDS doesn't exist.
Trump announced he will nominate Linda McMahon, a grossly unqualified candidate, as head of the Department of Education, who's only qualification is that she wants to destroy public education (the K-12 you boasted about).
I could go down the list, but that's a waste of time. They are ALL unqualified, criminals and/or lunatics. Find me one decent, qualified person, who is not appointed to destroy their own department, for their own gain, I dare you.

Congratulations to the Candian people ,hopefully you will get a stronger leader that won't hide when a few trucks form a convoy. The writing is on the wall that so many people are so upset and fed up with the way things are going.
Actually, Justin Trudeau has been very neoliberal, which means liking privatization.
He's like our right-wingers, who destroyed all public ownership and privatized it.
To countries like Canada and The Netherlands, he's to the right.
People are angry at neoliberals, because they solve all problems by making people pay for them privately, instead of solving problems publicly. People are also stupid, because their anger about that makes them turn to the right and vote for conservatives.
Right-wing conservatives make people pay for EVERYTHING privately, and never solve any problems at all. Solving problems is not their thing. They only care about making the rich richer.
If Canada elects a right-winger, they will probably lose their public healthcare, like we did in The Netherlands. They can then expect it to become much more expensive and expect to pay more out of their own pockets.

If you believe these tariffs are really about the minimal immigrants and drugs from Canada, that is your choice.. I believe it’s just a distraction, like the invasions.. He’s not going to be able to keep any of his campaign promises, but he’s in now.. he doesn’t have to. There won’t be lower prices on food, gas, and housing.. they’re all going to go up.. substantially too.. Tariffs do that.
These tariffs are definitely going to hurt Canada, no doubt, but we survived it last time.. Trump is not only talking of imposing tariffs on Canada and Mexico, but China and Europe as well. That is going to hurt the US economy. I think you’re in for an eye opener. The rest of the world is already exploring new market alternatives. I read yesterday that China is in the process of a billion dollar wheat/soy deal with Argentina, instead of US wheat because they consider Trump too unstable economically to get a deal done.

As for leaving? ..after 9 years of downward spiral, everybody has had enough, including his own party. He was forced into stepping down as his party leader. He does not want it ..but has no choice.
To me it is a far fetched idea but at least it would be easier to get the oil down here.

It depends on who the world leader is, if I would let them in.
In any case, the 'Logan Act' wouldn't apply to me,
because I have no access to influence to peddle.
And I'm not an American, of course.
He is already receiving briefings from the white house to help the transition efforts and etc. So if he is getting top secret intel and all other forms of info from the white house, he apparently is very authorized to discuss his plans once he gets into the white house. The news has not shown us that any documents were signed,no settlements reached.castro's boy went on his own to visit with Trump.
They do have some special rights, but not to represent America.
He is NOT authorized to do that, until he is inaugurated.
The White House is a NATIONAL political institution.
Trump doesn't have a right to get briefings, but it's customary.
Until he is inaugurated, he has NO RIGHT to represent America.
also.. I thought your Abe Lincoln analogy might be a little one sided
He is however, planning to do a lot of horribly damaging things.
You will notice them, as soon as he gets a chance to implement them.
Meanwhile, the Republicans are creating absolute chaos again in their own party, kicking out the umpteenth speaker. And how many of Trump's picks are now associated with crimes, including sex crimes? I lost count.
But not to Hunter, because he's not talking to foreign politicians.

The quality flys out the window
I’m in my 60’s and have had 4 surgeries in my life.. the longest I had to wait was for wrist surgery.. about 2 months. A friend this summer had his appendix rupture while he was camping. We almost lost him.. He was a couple of hours from a hospital.. but the ambulance came and rushed him in.. He had emergency surgery same day and all was good. His wife will tell you our healthcare is awesome.
I think our healthcare gets a bit of a bad rap.. it’s not perfect, that’s for sure but, it’s not as bad as you think… and it’s free apart from parking, the parking fees go directly to the hospital for snow removal and such. It sure beats the hell out of fighting with an insurance company on whether you’re even covered or not.. after paying into it no less.. and come May 2025, all Canadian households making less than 70K a year get free dental.. yes Free dental.
If needed, I can see my doctor the same day. If it's serious,
the doctor will visit you at home. My doctor has a bit weird system,
where I just walk into the office at 8:00 and put my name on a list.
Then I can wait until I'm called, or I can just walk back home for a while,
because I live about 500 ft from the doctor's office.
For a kidney problem or cancer, we hardly have any waiting lists.
It only takes the time needed to do the tests and to decide on the treatment.
It was like this when we still had the social healthcare system and that is still
the same under the privatized healthcare system.
What changed was how much we need to pay for it ourselves.
A lot of medication we now pay for ourselves or it's within the deductible.
And dental care is no longer in the basic insurance. There is no use to get insurance for dental care, because the insurance is almost always more expensive than just paying for it yourself, unless you have bad teeth, requiring constant care.
Extractions by a dental surgeon are covered by basic insurance, including the anesthetic. So, everyone is having their extractions in the hospital.
Dentures are also mostly covered. The result is that many poor people just let
their teeth rot away, until they all get extracted in one go and they get dentures.
I can only remember you calling him lots of other terms,
or downright denying he was the president at all.
Democrats have no problem accepting reality, you lot have.
Besides US law and canadian law is not the same.

If democrats ever hope to gain ground, they need to rethink their strategy. Perhaps think victim rights instead of criminal rights? Perhaps think prosperous economy instead of regulating entire industry's into the dirt?
Even old joe is sad he dropped out of the race. Dems are falling apart. their platform is smoke and mirrors and it is starting to fall apart.

Worry about Vivek Ramasmarmy controlling your country's finances.
He's a criminal, who made himself a billion dollars, by scamming people
who invested in the development for Alzheimer medication.
Some of those investors are likely family members of people with Alzheimer,
or charities taking donations from family members of people with Alzheimer,
or maybe even the inheritances of people who died of Alzheimer.
That's a lowlife who you allow to walk around freely, to scam even more people,
and 'coming soon'; the WHOLE FUCKING COUNTRY.
they have negotiated out for months, just because Trump told them to?
Lying? Everything that Trump is ever saying, except when he tells on himself?
His guilt is a fact.
for the deaths of many many people, so there's a good argument to make it was
"self defense or in defense of others".
However, I wouldn't find him "not guilty", but I would definitely give him a reduction
in his sentence. I'm sure he won't get it though, because of your two-tiered justice system, which always protects the wealthy. If he killed you, for being an asshole to him, he would probably go free, because he's from a rich family too. But now the 'justice' system has to protect greedy CEO's, I'm sure they will throw the book at him.
You do cheat the system, GREEDY.
I'm very much a law abiding citizen.
None of the victims have a chance to be commuted. What the fuck kind of justice system do we have if the judges decisions are not carried out? Sure I understand a year or 2 to make sure no new evidence comes up to prove innocence but the victims deserved justice. not to mention we gota feed the bastards till they finally die in the 1 place the health care is free. Keep em alive so they can serve a life sentance.
you're just against woman controlling their own bodies.
IF women would control their bodies, there would much less abortion and strife.
Your side is taking ALL of women's bodily autonomy.
And you use fantasies like "creator and grim reaper" to steal FREEDOM!
Women drink and give up control or just don't care because they know the vacuum cleaner is just a appointment away.
Don't you get it? It is a selling point. the retailers are catering to the dumbass democrats that cant explain how 1.4 billion dollars got blown on a failed campaign in just 3 months. The retailers figure if the dumbass democrats can't manage their money no better than that, let's just run them in credit card debt convincing them that Trump is going to ruin everything. cater to the democrat delusions.
I could stand to loose a few my self but would rather still eat.
I think once Trump grabs these noisy little leaders by their economy's and twist , they will yield to his demands. Which are not that fucking bad anyway. Buy as much from us as we do you, keep your dope on your side of the fence and take back all the assholes you let come over here.
Why should we keep letting countries screw us up the ass?
but grab canada's economy and squeeze and twist and the people will oust his ass and get someone in there that will help preserve their jobs and way of life our economy supports.
In 2023 the US border Agency seized 946 grams of Fentanyl illegally coming in from Canada, compared to 26,700 lbs coming through Mexico. 26,700 lbs is equal to over 12 million grams. That translates to about 99.9999% of your Fentanyl problem is coming through your southern border.
As far as Illegal immigrants are concerned. In 2023 190,000 illegals entered the USA from Canada compared to over 2 million for the southern borders. That translates to about 99.9% of your illegal immigrant problems are on your southern border.
I hope this might put things into a little more perspective..
As far as equal buying.. keep in mind the USA has ten times the population of Canada, we don’t need as much
Since the problem is so small, should be easy for castro jr to take care of shouldn't it?
Also, canada's ecomomy is better than mexico's. Thus, your bunch should be able to take care of the problem quickly than mexico, who is scared to do anything because they are run by the cartels that should be declared terrorist groups which then make it so we could go in and take care of them ourselves.
From what I read, Trudo could very well be castro's son as his mother was in cuba about the right time.
As far as Castro jr goes ..I might have worded it wrong.. it’s not that it’s an old joke.. just old news. A lot of Canadians would agree with you on that. There were a few stories in the news that his Mother slept with Mick Jagger too. It has been said they were swingers. Doesn’t matter much.. hopefully he’ll be gone in 2025
As far as the Canadian export laws. I’m not sure I understand your beef.. That was all re-negotiated in 2019-2020 (USMCA) under the Trump administration and considered a win for the US.. not much has changed..
this is just my opinion but I think ..if you don’t like the current Canadian export laws, you’re not going to like the new incoming US import laws much either..
you grab them by the economy and you squeeze and twist! they will squeal and yield
HAHHAHHAA, it's working, slowly, but it's working. We will be ok, the border issues and drugs may be reduced without any tariffs being implemented. Negotiation tools, what part of that are democrat liberals having trouble understanding?
Yes, I have trouble understanding that.
Negotiation tools FOR WHAT?
Canada is selling a lot of LEGAL drugs to American patients who need them, at a highly reduced price. I'm sure that angers your big pharma resellers. Maybe that's who Trump is servicing, but it will result in even less access to affordable medication for Americans; HIGHER PRICES.
Trump is doing the exact opposite of what you lot said you voted for him for.
You are heading for 4 years of decline and pain and all you will do is cope.
Maybe the billionaires will do well, but the working class will suffer.
People who cannot work due to disability and retired people will suffer even more.
Don't take my word for it, they are already admitting it themselves.
"How Much Would Groceries Kevin McCallister Bought in 'Home Alone' Cost Now?"

Part of google results,
"Many Canadian online pharmacies fill orders with pharmacies outside of Canada.
The FDA warns that there are many unsafe online pharmacies."
It says you can order meds from canada but everyone I know that has tried,like I said, has had issues and do what I do for what medicine i take, local drug store.
we have just had 4 years of decline and pain. And people say he can't reduce grocery prices, he mentioned it would be hard. BUT reduced energy prices will lead to reduced prices on everything we buy.not just food.
I don't think the situation will be dire as you say by a long shot. First things he will get us out of the paris agreement again, and knock out some of the ev mandate stuff and etc to get the auto industry back on it's feet. When Nissan and Honda are discussing a merger to stay in bussiness because of the ev crap,you can tell it's not good for the WORLD, much less the US
It's just sold at premium prices to Americans.
Canada can actually negotiate down those prices.
You know, those "Negotiation tools" you just described.
Then they make a profit by just selling it back to YOU.
And sure, when there is money to be made, scammers get in.
No you dumb-ass, you had a decline during and after Trump and then you had nothing but steady recovery! And not even 'slow and steady', but quicker than everywhere else.
If you get out the Paris agreement again, and knock out some of the ev mandate stuff, your auto industry will never sell a car outside of the US again, besides Tesla.
Maybe Musk will let the other car manufacturers make that mistake, so he can become the whole American auto industry.
How many times do I need to tell you that EV's are not intended to save the world,
but to save CARS.
cars and trucks are what moves AMERICA. so anything to do with them has a greater affect on the US than the rest of the world. you ride bicycles and choo choo trains and walk, we are civilized and free as a people and use mechanical means owned by us and under our personal control , not that of the government.
True, because you hardly invested in anything else.
Your public transport looks like it's from the poorest Eastern European countries.
Americans who come here are surprised they don't really need a car here.
It doesn't matter how poor you are in the US, you spend your last money
to own a car, no matter how beat-up it is, or you are unable to survive.
That's LESS FREEDOM!
I wish public transport was owned by the government here. It's not.
It's owned by companies that have a profit incentive and thus fuck us over.
Our public transport system was however built as a public service, when it was
still great and affordable and then privatized by the right-wing government.
Then it became both worse and more expensive.
Every time our right-wing governments privatized something, they promised
"market forces" would make it better and more affordable. FILTHY LIARS!!!
We had democratic control, now we have NO CONTROL and we get SCREWED!!!
"The Netherlands is larger than the state of Maryland, but smaller than West Virginia. The Dutch have a saying: "God made the Earth, but the Dutch made Holland." The North Sea would have washed away the Netherlands if the Dutch had not erected defenses to protect their land."
Now it is a bit more logical for your entire country to have a railway system that folks can use to get to work or college than it is for the US. A public train in the US doesn't work very well,
" In the US, the Federal government owns and operates AMTRAK, which is not known for being efficient or well-run."
Hopefully Elon will find ways to trim the budget and make it work better and cheaper.

Did Trump say he was going to give control of the government to Elon?
Have you seen Elon's citizenship papers? He will be your president now.
An immigrant (possibly illegal) from Africa, taking power of the US!

Now be a good socialist and swallow every drop take one of the social team
He's going to fuck you hard, in your ass, and I'll be laughing.
to defend Trump on letting Elon Musk do what he wants, to your country.
Have you seen any other country ever do what the US just did?
No modern country has ever been THAT CORRUPT.
It's banana republic shit, dude. Communist banana republic shit.
You will see soon what wrecking the country looks like.
There is no "open border". There also never was a closed border.
Illegals, narcotics and weapons have been crossing your border under Trump and Biden reduced that and had plans to reduce them more. Trump made Republicans vote against that.
He didn't do nearly enough "green shit", although he funded historic investments in clean energy. I guess you like pollution. You'll get it.
He didn't do any "woke shit". Unless you refer to the Respect for Marriage Act.
He didn't DO inflation, it HAPPENED. And then he put it back to normal.*
The "funding of the two proxy wars" is true and it's expensive. Would you not have funded either Israel and Ukraine? I'm sure you want Israel to murder more woman and children. Maybe you would let Ukraine be taken over by Russia.
I can't see why you think that's a good idea though.
Stopped remain in Mexico. That's true. He's allowing LEGAL migration again. Which is important, if you want to reduce the dependency of your farms and food industry on ILLEGALS.
Biden got your country out of the pandemic and recovered your economy faster than any other country, with the "American Rescue Plan". Your beloved billionaires are making more money than ever before. He is taking back chip manufacturing back to the US. He's funded your infrastructure to keep it from totally crumbling. He's funding railroads to make your country catch up with the modern world. He's funded to provide high-speed internet to every American, because the US ranks a 31st in internet bandwidth. He signed into law the most significant expansion of benefits and services for toxic-exposed veterans in more than 30 years. He protected and strengthened the Affordable Care Act. Now, millions of Americans are saving $800 per year on their health insurance and 4-in-5 Americans can find coverage for $10 a month or less through the ACA. He pardoned all prior federal offenses of simple marijuana possession, removing a burden to employment, housing, and educational opportunities for thousands of Americans.
He has approved the cancellation of billions in student loan debt for millions of Americans, as well as the largest increase in Pell Grants in over a decade. Trump is going to undo all that and make himself very unpopular with young people. Trump is also going to crush the quality of education for most Americans who can still afford it and make it unaffordable for more people.
You are just permanently handing high tech manufacturing over to China and Europe, because you won't have the educated work force you need.
*President Biden signed landmark legislation to bring down costs for families, lower prescription drug prices, and make historic investments in American clean energy jobs and manufacturing. Is renting and food still too expensive? Yes, but you just voted away a president who was planning to build a record new houses and who was going to restrict price gauging. Trump is not going to do that, he's going to increase costs for families with tariffs and make food more expensive by deporting all the illegals who are farming and processing your food.
Only a socialist would say what your saying, You hate this Country and want to see it destroyed.
The mother fucker back guys in women sports. How much more woke can you get?
Did the mother fucker fund the military? Not counting woke bullshit.
He is allowing anyone to come into the country and there is not a fucking thing legal about it. One step in this country is illegal.
It is libtard that like illegalas because they work cheap.
Keep lying to me and others about the economy we can see when we are buying gasoline or groceries.
He had funding for high speed internet and never produce it dumb ass.
You are talking just bullshit now so I will stop.
Why do you think I'm always telling you that you need to crack down on employers who exploit illegals? If employers take a huge risk in employing illegals, they will employ immigrants with work visas instead. Or here is an idea, maybe they'll even employ some Americans.
Your economy needs lots of workers. A few Mexicans traveling back and forth only helps some Southern states. How are they commuting to Florida or Nebraska? You need to give out more asylums too. You just want the benefits, but not the costs. However, with your stupidity you're only making the problems worse. If a farmer has to chose between employing illegals or letting his crops die, what do you think will happen?
I'm well aware of work visas; there are 800,000 Eastern Europeans working in my country legally and I never heard of any problem with illegals working in my country. That's because we do crack down on employers who exploit illegals. The legal working migrants are exploited too, but at least we know who they are, where they are and if they are causing any problems.
because at this moment you rely on those immigrants for your food.
It's your choice if those immigrants are legal or illegal.
That's the most ignorant thing you ever said.
Every single one of them would love nothing more.
I agree with you that it's preferable to ship illegals out, than to keep
this sick system of exploitation going, but if you don't want your grocery prices to skyrocket even further, you'll have to allow working permits,
and Trump never said he was going to do that.
Automation, that's where it's at. No illegals needed, no workers comp,no insurance, no retirement, Just production and people fed affordably.Just think how many jobs it will bring about for educated citizens! not people from out of country that don't even have high school level education. Good paying jobs. Just as the cotton gin reduced work,combines reduced work, self driving harvesters and self driving trucks and robots will make illegals out of date,and to risky.
Word salad answers to important questions. The 1 answer she gave that really drove the nail in the coffin was when she said she would not change anything about the past 3+ years. Had she answered that 1 question with some common sense she might have pulled it off.
If Candace Owens runs for office,she has my vote, if a woman with brains and good values runs for office, I would probably vote for her, her motherly instincts would improve her ability t protect the nation as if it were her child.Wouldn't be a bad thing to have a good woman in office,but a good 1 has not run yet. we don't need someone with iron on patches on the knees of her pants suit.
Is that a woman with brains?

She is a centrist on the debate between round earth and flat earth.
It's also possible that she doesn't think flat earth is making sense at all, but she's just saying it for her audience, which means she thinks you are stupid or that she wants you to be stupid. People who have that idea or goal cannot be trusted.
Conclusion; she's either stupid or a liar. If she had an interview with a former CIA agent, then he cannot be trusted to tell the truth, because he wouldn't pick someone who's either stupid or a liar. He would use such a person to further his own goals.
If a CIA agent wants to tell the truth to the American people, he would pick someone with intelligence and integrity. Candace Owens has neither.
find 1 that has brains and common sense and a plan to actually fix things, she might have a chance.
Typical liberal. If a liberal doesn't agree with reality, who ever conveys it is a racist. you fail to remember the tv coverage of her family in India celebrating her victory becoming the first woman vice president. But when she was running for president, she knew she needed the black vote, so typical of a democrat, she blew smoke up the black peoples ass's to win their vote. She is the racist, she used her mixed race to try to further her agenda.
I'm conservative, you know.
But not fascist.
Conservative? then explain why you don't like Trump's policy's? I am not asking why you don't like Trump, I am asking why you don't like his policy's. I voted for his policy's, not his character. I didn't hire him for a fishing buddy, I hired him to fix America.
