  1. the highest corporate tax rate of 39% was cut to 21%. there is no way around the fact that it removed $10T from the US budget. and will again this time. if you can't pay for it then you are borrowing money. it the GOP were able to (they won't) be able to cut $5.6T and DOGE are able to cut $2T (they won't) then that still doesn't pay for the first Trump tax cut. so more Trump BORROWING.

  2. Unfortunately, you are wrong about that and there’s no room for debate any more. The scientific evidence is overwhelming. Man-made climate change is a grim reality and it’s only going to get much worse. Anybody living in the likes of LA or Southern Florida would be well advised to get out now if they can.

  3. Even IF we accept the climate change alarmism from the left... OK, so what? Is your plan that we have to wait 100 years for the climate change plans to slowly curb the increase in global warming to work? How about we acknowledge that these areas in California are dry, they are prone to high winds and fire risk, and oh... I don't know, maybe have some better fire prevention and fighting plans in place to deal with these when they do happen. Those are things we can change right now. Having water in fire hydrants is something that can be changed right now. Having a better quick reaction force, air craft, and firefighters to get in fast to stop these from growing is something we can do now. Increasing budgets for firefighters, focusing on the mission of putting out fires instead of diversity hires, is something we can do now.

  5. And not wanting floods of immigrants hostile to us to come to Canada isn't racist. It's what the majority of the country wants. You probably don't realize that, as detached from reality as you are in your little liberal bubble. You don't know anything about our history. And I love how you're saying people who are patriotic and care about this country should be mocked while in the same thread talking about people who want to join the US being traitors. You've been spewing vitriol about this country for years and now you're acting like you give a damn about it? You're such a bloody brainless twat

  6. and now the circus clowns begin their reign of economic terror! haaha! House GOP puts Medicaid, ACA, climate measures on chopping block the "felon in chief" and GOP's MO is to renew the Trump tax cuts that will add another $10T to the national debt. that $10T going directly into the pockets of the richest Americans. but that pesky debt ceiling! so they are going to attempt to rifle through seniors benefits, health care for the poor and infrastructure spending to find that money for the billionaire boys club! of course, you can't bleed a stone so they have only been able to identify $5.6T in cuts that even they can stomach. mind you, Trump is not a "fiscal conservative"... they never are. he has repeatedly suggested that the US get rid of the debt ceiling so that his ilk can just shovel cash into their own pockets. the "felon in chief" will claim that he inherited such a mess (the economy being stronger than its been in US history) that billionaires need more money. Greenland, Greenland, Greenland... look over here!

  8. Tragically, you don't have the true facts at all. Before Trudeau, Canada was much better off. Far more people could afford to buy a home and afford groceries. Now several million people are depending on food banks. There are thousands of people living in tent cities. Things are totally changed now. The average working person in Canada can not afford to buy a home. It would require almost a whole working person's working years to just save up the down payment. This means if would be very difficult or impossible for the average middle class person to own a home and raise a family in the major cities. The least expensive homes are typically over a million dollars. That means one would need at least $50,000 to make the down payment. Working people don't have that kind of money. In fact they have the reverse. Many have massive credit card debt and can't even make ends meet. This is all under the Trudeau government and getting far worse in the past few years. "Now that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s political career is coming to an end, some of his fans are romanticizing his economic track record. Yet it is indisputable that, under his leadership, the economy sputtered and Canadians, robbed of a decade of growth, were left relatively poorer than their global peers." Adam Zivo: No, Trudeau did not make Canada richer

  9. That's because Humanity has basically existed in an ice age. Now, look at how quickly we transitioned from ice age to gas house. Plus, looking at such a minute data set when the transitions are measured in hundredss of thousands of years is asinine. This 1880 to today dataset is taking the valley and the peak and calling that data normalization. That isn't how it's done.

  10. Trump is an insulting bully without the decency of a rat, but most of all he is a performer. His whole schtick is performance. He’s a conman all about keeping the base entertained. And distracted. He has to keep them distracted from just how incompetent he is and how there really is no substance to him. It’s the old “fascinate the fools.” With all this talk of taking over the Panama Canal, Greenland, and Canada, he’s trying to shift their attention from the fact he will never fulfill the promises he made - like ending the Ukrainian-Russian war in one day, or carrying out the largest mass deportations ever. Just won’t happen. Just like he never built the wall or replaced the ACA.

  11. For wildfires in that part of the world there are immediate causes like downed power lines, lightning strikes and arson, and underlying ones like abundant dried vegetation and unusually strong Santa Ana winds. Obviously, it’s hard to exclude the role climate change is playing here which makes for more vegetation, drier vegetation and stronger winds.

  17. Only that twat JJ McCullough says "aboot" so don't think that's typical. Him and immigrants from Scotland that go out of their way to find fellow boat people. Easier to find the many from Ontario that pronounce "they were" as "they wear" instead of "they whir". Or you could ask what your hoodie is and shoot the ones that reply with 'kangaroo shirt' or 'bunny hug'. Or anyone that knows what a toque is.

  18. well its not my "side" because i'm not Canadian. its never too late for the urban poor who brought Trump to power to cry when they see their oligarch overlords flying over them in their private jets on their weekly jaunts to Italy to fetch well water to wash their hair. i'm not crying because my portfolio is heavy into US equity markets which i'm betting will do very well under Trump. i mean, unless he is truly an "emperor with no clothes" and fuks it up with his ridiculous tariff ideas. so far i'm making a killing.

  19. did taxed at source working stiffs get their tax rates cut in half?! no, they got thrown chicken bones... the US population continues to increase... so its obvious that spending year over year will increase. the question is always, who pays? the "conservative" MO is to always inhibit progressive tax regimes. the regime where the MORE you make the MORE as a percentage of your income you pay in taxes (income tax). they prefer regressive taxation where the LESS you make the MORE as a percentage of your income you pay in taxes (sales tax, head tax). the "liberal" MO is the opposite. so again, you have the most aggressive "conservative" critics only able to find $5.6T in cuts from the urban poor who will suffer the most and are responsible for their political success. and yet the Trump is putting the US economy $20T more under water.

  20. The "Trump" tax cuts were rate cuts that impacted almost all working Americans who pay income tax. Spending adds money to the debt, we have increased spending year over year over year since long before these tax cuts and that is what continues to add to the debt. Also, taking less money from the public is not ripping them off.

  40. Look how the brainless bunch swallowed the "let's invade them for greatness" bait. Whole and without an instant's hesitation or reflection. On the cue. All these zigabytes of worthless digital stream come down to a single message: give us more of your priceless sh*t oh the Great One! Every little grain and fiber in it is an endless reservoir of eternal wisdom to suck and swallow, in ecstasy. That makes them who, by the way and de facto? F- word anyone, done and accomplished? QED. Factual, too. Try to argue the difference.

  41. I would argue the American Empire has been in decline for decades. The wealth gap between rich and poor was relatively narrow in the 70s. The civil rights movement, workers rights, post-war boom, and improved quality of life made the US the richest and most powerful country in the World. It can be argued that beginning in the 80s, the powers that be, paved the way for greed and individualism. Tax cuts to the wealthy, deregulation, and eliminating the fairness doctrine, allowed the mindset that Americans have in regards to "get rich whatever means necessary" regardless if it's damaging to the community. A turning point could be 9/11. Americans were bloodthirsty, invaded nations that had nothing to do with 9/11, and curtailed freedoms through the Patriot Act. Not regulating the internet has proven to be disastrous. Most Americans, and a significant amount of Canadians now have no idea what to believe, whether it be vaccines, race relations, science, climate change, or anything else. Donald Trump is more of a symptom of the illness. I mean can you envision the founding fathers proceeding with the Second Amendment, if they had the knowledge that guns were going to be used for thousands of school shootings, gang warfare, and crime?
