President Trump doesn't have the power to deport ALL illegals, which is my hard line position...no exceptions. He correctly booted DACA back to Congress where it belongs. "Blind devotees" were pleased by recently fleeing illegals (going to Canada)...crude...but satisfying. Virtual and physical border walls preceded Trump by many administrations...as has illegal immigration. Seems that foreign nationals just can't help themselves from going to the "evil" United States, legally and illegally.

Russians matter more than Canadians....they pack a bigger punch. So which American programming will you watch tonight ?

This picture exemplifies the extent of the submission of our politicians to their new masters...and it isn't even that terrorist loving Trudeau. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/C4j6BVpXAAALMOK.jpg

https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/politics/liberal-mp-geng-tan-acted-as-intermediary-for-businessman-now-accused-of-fraud/article37511074/ More and more, some major problems with this government, they certainly are not looking out for canada. Liberal MP Geng Tan hand-delivered a letter to a top official at the Canadian embassy in Beijing and personally spoke to Chinese authorities on behalf of a Liberal Party donor who has been charged with money laundering and the fraudulent sale of hundreds of millions of dollars in securities to Chinese citizens. Chinese-Canadian businessman Xiao Hua Gong, also known as Edward Gong, was arrested in Toronto last week and the Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) has charged him with fraud over $5,000, possession of property obtained by crime, laundering proceeds of crime and uttering a forged document. None of the allegations have been proven in court. On June 1, Mr. Tan acted as an intermediary for Mr. Gong, who at the time was under criminal investigation by the RCMP, Ontario Securities Commission [OSC] and China's Ministry of Public Security in connection with a $466-million pyramid scheme followed," the MPs' office told The Globe in an e-mail. The Prime Minister's Office had no comment on Mr. Tan's actions. "This would seem to be a serious example of very poor judgment and improper behaviour," Conservative ethics critic Peter Kent said in an interview. "One has to wonder whether this was a misguided favour on behalf of a financial contributor [of the Liberal Party]." Mr. Gong is not a constituent of Mr. Tan and does not live in the MP's Don Valley North riding. His home in Toronto's Bridle Path area, which authorities raided in December, is in Don Valley West, held by Liberal MP Rob Oliphant. Mr. Gong has donated $7,000 to the Liberal Party over the past few years, and was at a Liberal fundraiser involving Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Chinese-Canadian business people in Toronto in May, 2016. Mr. Gong was in a widely circulated photo of the Prime Minister making dumplings for his donors at the event. The picture was part of The Globe's coverage of cash-for-access fundraisers that prompted the Liberals to usher in legislative reforms on political donations. Since the 2015 election, Mr. Tan has travelled frequently to China, where he has met Communist Party officials whose goal is to win overseas support for the authoritarian government's political agenda. In April, he accepted a free trip to Hunan province paid for by Toronto businessman Kai Wu, who runs an an immigration investment and eduction enterprise. Mr. Tan said he accepted the trip to help Mr. Wu "attract more international students to Canada to study." The OSC affidavit said the investigation of Mr. Gong involved the New Zealand Police and China's Ministry of Public Security and as well as the RCMP and Canada's FinTRAC, a federal agency that tracks the movement of money offshore. The OSC alleges that at least $190-million obtained from the pyramid operation was directed to Mr. Gong's bank accounts in Canada and used to buy hotels, residential property, luxury cars and a boat. This money was in addition to $63-million in New Zealand accounts that investigators have frozen.

Well, it is starting to look like the good old Breibart is not the same good old Breibart as it once was these days. Maybe due to Bannon not feeling alright these days. He might have the flu. But then again this may be part of a Trump/Bannon plan to try and mess with the heads of liberals/democrats? Heads that are pretty much empty of any intelligence anyway, and easily fooled. Trump is no fool. Trump may just be a genius after all. Trump knows how to play the political game now. Hey, you never know with politics.

I guess that I will have to agree with you on that one. Like the old saying goes: "there is one law for the rich, and then there is another law for we the ordinary bunch of us smucks". The rich do tend to look after one another, don't they. Aw well.

Might explains the current US administration position on Pakistan- Pakistan says UN vote on Jerusalem will send message “United States should decide whether to stand with the world or an occupying force which is the reason for instability and chaos in the Middle East. Pakistan is among the countries which have co-sponsored this resolution. We are hopeful that the General Assembly will adopt this with a heavy majority.” Dr Lodhi’s statements came ahead of a United Nations vote on a motion rejecting US recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, under strong pressure from President Donald Trump who has threatened to cut funding to countries that back the measure. ETA- Rand Paul: "I’m introducing a bill to end aid to Pakistan in the coming days. My bill will take the money that would have gone to Pakistan and put it in an infrastructure fund to build roads and bridges here at home." I can't see that as being a bad decision. Trump economics?

The Russians as we now now know were threatening to use nukes on Israel and at one point a drunk Colonel ordered a nuke attack. It was the Americans we now know who as many as 3 times prevented nuke attacks on Israel back in the cold war era from the Russians. The US has never hidden its balancing act of having to try be strategic allies with Israel and the Saudi and Egyptians at the same time which at times in history was not easy. Right now Trump is back to an era where it does not appear the US will appease Iran anymore but the damage was done by Obama. When Obama pulled the US off the world stage as police officer in the Midle East, China stepped in to fill its void, replacing the US. China strategically set up simultaneous military alliances with Iran and Israel-in effect creating a stalemate between the two and preventing a war. China has a naval alliance with Israel that prevents Iran from attacking Israeli navy vessels at this time. Now me personally I believe the US needs to re-establish itself militarily in the Middle East. I think it was a mistake removing itself from the ME and thinking some half assed scheme of a Muslim Brotherhood alliance with Muslim Brotherhood members Barak Obama, his half brother in Sudan, Morsi in Egypt and that idiot Erdogan in Turkey was the way to best advance US interests in the ME. I think the Muslim Brotherhood proved it was a failure-a bunch of Muslim pseuto illuminati trying to create an elitist network to run the ME through a not so secret cabal. It failed as most idiot attempts like this do. When you recruit elitists drawn to your power network because of greed not idealism, it always implodes as the greedy stab each other in the back. What we see now is a skeleton of a US government. Obama cleared out anyone he felt was against his agenda. Trump has not replaced the void since Obama left at grass roots levels in the US government. He seems unable to lead and create networks of alliances or to enunciate a clear vision for the US. He appears unstable and unable to lead or create. He appears to be quite literally an isolated reactor via twitter while behind the scenes there is a huge power vacuum and we don't know who is planning to replace him. A year in a regime is a blip in time when preparing to replace it. What we do know is the entire Democratic Party structure has no clear leader and in the year or so to come the filth of the Clintons will come out in investigations concerning the Clinton Foundation, Hilary Clinton compromised by her Saudi Arabian spy advisor and all kinds of other filth. As for Trump, he clearly does not care to lead. His narcissism and short adhd attention deficit does not enable him to focus on detail and explains his inability to focus on any topic. I think in a year or so, a power network will emerge in the US and we shall see if people decide Pence is the person to replace Trump or whether there is a way to contro, Trump's irrational outbursts. Until then its a crap shoot. Iran faces a possible civil war and so does Turkey. For that matter Egypt is never far away from a food wa on the streets, and The Korean peninsula is volatile. Anything could trigger unintended consequences I personally think North Korea is not the huge war theatre many think its destined to be. I think it more probable we shall see more t errorist attacks in Europe and a European financial collapse threaten as the next major political destabilization issue than Iran or Korea. I think China is able to control Iran militarily just as the Russians have with Syria. Its Muslim extremists working in fragmented cells we have to watch for. They owe allegiance to no one but their own cells. They are unpredictable in origin, make-up and agenda. They evolve and disappear very quickly like sandstorms of the desert. They defy cycles of attack conventional intelligence used to be able to predict.

Those damned Russians may well have us at each other's throats, just like the little trolls who come on here like to do. Staying calm, not reacting, keeping a more balanced view wouldn't hurt anybody.

I don't see anyone showing loyalty to Russia. That would imply attacking the idea of America. And who is on the far right? Why is everything so damned far these days.

Who would pay someone to post this? And if so, uh, wouldn't they want someone who does a better job of it?

Sure they could, if only the Russians would stop doing that... and the Brits, and the French, the Chinese... etc. etc. Sadly your recommendation would only leave us open to the fury of their attack.

That's Trump plan and Bill may join her, they should have been there a long time ago.

Welcome back...quite a return...like Charles de Gaulle !

I don't know why anyone is really surprised by this....the Americans, along with allies, have been flooding Russia with "disrupting" media for generations...funded by government.

Hey, I think that Trump will make Mexico pay in some way. What that could be is anyone's guess. I guess that by building the wall will no doubt stop the flow of Mexicans from entering America illegally, and then when that happens there will be fewer Mexicans in America that will be able to send money back to Mexico. That money will now stay in America and maybe will now help to go towards paying for the wall. Look at all the tax dollars that would be saved by not having to waste any more time trying to round up all those Mexican illegals and deporting them. All that money saved could now go towards building the wall. All that money now not going to Mexico will now have to be found somewhere else by the Mexican government. I have mixed feelings about DACA. I kind of feel sorry for them in some way that they may not be allowed to stay in America but then on the other hand they did enter America illegally, and they should be sent back. I am going to leave it up to Trump as to what happens to the DACA immigrants. Whatever Trump does is a go for me.

Not according to the alternative conservative news media. They report that more jobs were lost under Obamarama than created. I wonder who should we believe now?

"Last Chance Garage" = Redneck Canadians (Labrador style).

...not after they have been jailed and deported five times.

I am shaking my head more than laughing. Our latest propagandist poster is also pushing the 'secret Muslim' line. It's too bad that we are infested with propaganda on here now.

Poor Hillary...such a victim.

Oh FFS... I told Argus this renaissance of dictatorships would happen years ago - as a result of the vast moral vacuum the Shiny Beacons created by wheeling and dealing with dictatorships. Of course back then Argus, along with most right-wing conservatives said we had no choice but to deal with them. If we didn't our so-called enemies would and our beloved corporations and economy would suffer. ANYONE from the left who has pointed this out has been dismissed out of hand by the Argus' of the world. I call bullshit, the concern in the OP is as phony as a three dollar bill.

Trump just passed a tax bill which will give him a whopping big tax cut, will cut the estate tax for his kids, and will give his company a huge tax break through a strange little last-minute adddition nobody seems to want to take credit for or explain where it came from which allows real estate companies to benefit from a special tax rule. That's way worse than Trudeau has ever done.
