US political crisis

[mack341]

I would've thought the 'art of the deal' is when both parties are happy, the art of belligerence won't work as well.

Obviously he hasn't started yet, but the preview doesn't look good, I'd have laughed if Denmark had said the price for Greenland is about 200 trillion dollars then seen Trump's reaction.

 

[geordiecolin]

I think you need to calm down a little.

I am as much pissed off with his promises of ending the conflicts in the world as anything else but I hold out hope that he will do it and not provoke an esculation into using any type of nukes.

At the moment it is just words and not deeds. But he is just as much a globalist as the Dems and Biden's controllers are.
I will wait to see what his first month brings in power

The Biden Regime did not fuel this war. No US regime fueled this war. This has been going on since 2007 for fucksakes and the tensions even longer, decades even. And while I'm not supporter of the democrats(have to qualify that here so I don't get labeled a blind Biden supporter) you are madly down the fucking rabbit hole if you think Trump ended this conflict. Trump isn't in power yet despite he and King Elon's tweets. This is the result of ongoing efforts from Egypt, Qatar, and the US over a course of several months that's how these things come to fruition. They don't just occur overnight.

Trump is a used cars salesman.

He knew Biden admin was brokering this deal and it was coming to fruition. Just in time for him to spout his threats and then try and take credit.

He thinks he can run around and tariff everyone and that we will all just sit here and take it.

So he is going to spend his 4 years getting into trade wars with his allies? Canada met with all its premiers and are getting a tariff package together to place on the USA if they try it.

Here is the problem. With how Trump is acting right now, they will get demolished in the next election and we are back to democrat insanity. We need less of an asshole in charge of the USA.

Lets list some of the things Canada has done for the USA

Fought and died with them in WW1 and WW2

Fought together in the Korean war

Rescued their dimplomats in Tehran

Opened our homes, provided millions in aid to the USA during 9/11, Katrina and other disasters/attacks

Gave billions in aid and intelligence during the IRAQ war

Gave billions and thousands of soliders for their Afghan war.

Provide them cheap energy so they dont have to buy it from Iran and Venezuala for higher prices which would also be supporting terrorist regimes.

Provide them discounted lumber because they do not have enough

Provide them with minerals.

This is just a small list. So to have some unhinged lunatic go on the world stage and lie and say they subsidize us and they dont need Canada is absolutely wild behavior. Some of the craziest I have ever seen. If this is his judgement, I do not trust that guy at all.

I don't think the kids in Gaza will care who got the deal over the line.

 

[lockinlove]

Could have been over a long time ago if Hamas didnt hide in Gaza and shoot at Israel from schools and hospitals. Hamas is killing all those kids.

world would be a better place if religion was wiped off the face of it.

 

[lockinlove]

Maybe. Probably a good argument on either side. Im not a religious person so I wouldnt partake

On the other hand, giving the democrats ammo doing this lol

 

[armster]

ya time to sell my tesla before it becomes worthless. Also, the steering keeps pulling to the Reich.

 

[lockinlove]

Not good. Trump the clown says Feb 1st tariffs begin. Canada has 110 billion tariffs ready for the US and Mexico billions ready too.

Who is advising this clown? US economy about the suffer

[goatwack]

Whew, what a day!

The day after completing a lifelong dream of his dancing with the Village People onstage, God Emperor Trump wasted no time in getting to business!

Watching the standing ovations rack up was quite something, all the while as Biden fell into deep slumber in full view, and Kama-LA! sat there stone-faced throughout, as the Dems were made to toil throughout!

After signing what seems like 450 executive orders, with around 400 breaks inbetween, such as having to declare there are only two genders, he swatted away the shill reporters in attendance with skill and aplomb as they desperately tried to annoy him. Not today, Jose!

And of course, what better way to indulge in the festivities with YMCA, than to YMCA.....with swords!!

 

[mack341]

The bite back from the liberal media seems tempered and restrained, as if they've been muzzled (the 'journalists').

No one seriously believes Musk was doing a nazi salute, surely?

Imagine the uproar if greeting him with 'Hi Littler'

 

[armster]

I've got to say, in all seriousness, I'm actually more than a little worried about the near future here. Maybe it's just my anxiety brain and as much as I'd like think they're trolling us, Trump has managed to bring together the wealthiest of the world and create a government of the far right. He's effectively turned those with power and money into a ruling class and there is enough comfort for a leader to "heil Hitler" on the stage the whole world is watching.

Trump is talking about annexing allies, it seems he wants to take over North America and will do so at any cost to even his own country. I just have no idea how this can play out except badly for a lot of people. He has literally zero internal controls and he has a lot of uneducated followers who appear to be willing to take up arms at his beckon for any reason he decides. This is a different timeline and one I don't think any of us have even come close to experiencing before.

We can start with retard Trudeau getting out of the way. That guy in charge of Canada doing this, I see nothing but brutal devastation for Canada.

The liberals havent diversified our trade at all. Almost all of it is between the USA and Canada. The last 9 years they should have been building relationships abroad. Now look at us. 80% of our trade is with the USA. One country who has shown time and time again they will invade countries if it benefits them enough.

We have 4 of the most important largest commodities in the world. Energy, lumber, minerals and water.

How in gods name is this country broke and defenseless? Liberal policies.

Trudeau should stfu, close the borders like orange man is requesting and focus on building partnerships. Instead, he is doing media soundbytes all day and has the government closed down.

Do people realize some of the oil we give to the USA they flip it on the open market and make 200% profit? Why are we doing this? Because we trust the USA to be our partner? Ridiculous.

Almost seems on purpose.

 

[lockinlove]

Trudeau, your turn.

 

[armster]

Trudeau would never. He's already sold his soul to India

Leverage is at the heart of deal making and Trump knows that better than most. Its up to Canada to fight for a reasonable deal but having government closed down can't be helpful.

The true fact is the far right have slowly been taking over everything including the media.

The tech tycoon billionaire clowns are just another example of them switching their agenda in the rise of the far right. Musk is again someone who has slowly shown his true colors, and now we finally see who he really is and what he truly believes in.

I mean anyone doing a Nazi Salute twice on stage and in front of the entire world knows exactly what he is doing and why and who he is trying to reach out too.

The sad truth is Trump has clearly stated what he was going to do if he won and now he is back in the white house he is doing exactly what he said he would do. No surprises there.

But saying that there was a nice nasty surprise today as well, he decided to pardon that Silk Road Founder.

I mean honestly the fact he pardoned all the Jan 6 rioters was not even surprising when he stated he would multiple times in the rallies the last year. I do not recall him ever mentioning in his rallies he would pardon the Silk Road founder though but maybe he did, I never watched any of them because they was all just a circus show.

Every day we wake up now we will get more headlines with the racist orange nasty far right clowns next move. All we can do is fasten our seatbelts and ride it out because to be totally honest, we can not do anything about it.

The sad truth is that 75million Americans voted this criminal orange clown back into the white house which is actually more sad than anything else. It is a sad state when a huge majority of Americans are either brainwashed or under educated that they are easily swayed politically.

Populism is one of the worst things and unfortunately it appears it could make its way to the UK as well in the likes of Farage. I mean we all saw how it happened with Boris Johnson too and we know how that ended as well. It is not the last time either.

I even did a Electoral Calculus the other day to see what % Reform party would need to get enough seats to win a majority in Parliament and Nigel to be crowned the PM. This is the result.

Reform currently have a 24% in the latest polls, 2% lower than Labour which is at 26%. Conservatives are still below reform and labour at 22%.

All reform needs is 10% and they can actually win the next election in 4 and a half years time. Scary indeed.

But honestly Trump is going to cause a lot of pain for a lot of people not just in the USA but around the world.

It will probably end in some sort of a civil war in the USA I am guessing. But no one knows for sure yet but it looks more and more likely the more crazy shit that this criminal clown does.

And in the meantime it would be best to boycott all the tech giants who attended the inauguration. Amazon, Google, Meta, X......

So far Trump lied about getting all the hostages back. He also lied about stopping that war. When asked about it here said "The war in gaza isnt our business. Its not our war. I dont know if there will be peace. Next"

Then he lied on stopping the Ukraine war before taking office or on day 1. He said he doesnt know. might sanction Putin, might talk to him when he has time in a few months.

He also didnt run on starting trade wars with every country in the world.

All of the above was to win the voters who were in the center.

He does seem to be keeping his promises he made to the right though.

So I guess his strategy was to lie to the swing voters to get in power.

You sound like you are going through all of the 5 stages of grief but not in the right order.
I totally agree that he has not kept to his promises. But to be fair I give him a month before I will judge him. Maybe

And half the time you sound like a rambling alcoholic but do I comment on that?

I have no grief, just tired of lying polticians is all. Im more annoyed we have an unhinged orange lunatic right beside us and we have about the weakest human in power in Canada to deal with it.

All this has shown me is Canada needs to build its own nuclear arsenal as a deterrent since we can no longer trust the americans. Trudeau has left our country so defenseless and weak its ridiculous.
