So Mr. Rumplestretchston which orders are "illegal"?

He said 23% of those companies are planning to exit PRODUCTS from the market not that the companies themselves are planning to leave entirely

It sure seemed like it when it was his to lose. I just had to fix that. 🤣 It certainly doesn't appear it'll be hinging on Poilievre's comeback.

Swing...an' a missssss...

Hey, MAGA! You think Trump is deploying the military to cities to “reduce crime” – don’t you? That’s what he told you. Then why is he shifting funds away from violence prevention and local law enforcement and toward troops who stand in low-crime areas and don’t make arrests? Based on the known spending so far, the deployments cost Americans roughly two-thirds of a billion dollars, and this is expected to increase to into the billions. You need to learn that nothing Trump says should be taken at face value. Here’s the scoop. I’ve had a look at the U.S. Department of Justice Fiscal Year 2026 Budget and Performance Summary (June 13, 2025) – and these cuts are happening: $354 million cut from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (page 157) whose mission is this: The ATF protects communities from violent criminals, criminal organizations, illegal use and trafficking of firearms, illegal use and storage of explosives, acts of arson and bombings, and acts of terrorism. The ATF partners with communities, industries, law enforcement, and public safety agencies to safeguard the public through information sharing, training, research, and the application of technology. $207.5 million cut from the Office on Violence Against Women (page 169) – whose mission is this: The mission of the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) is to provide Federal leadership to reduce violence against women, and to support the administration of justice for and strengthen services to all victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. $72.8 million cut from Community Oriented Policing Service (COPS) (page 177) – whose mission is this: The mission of the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) is to reduce crime and advance public safety through common sense, community policing. By proactively addressing the root causes of criminal and disorderly behavior, rather than simply responding to crimes once they have been committed, common sense efforts concentrate on preventing both crime and the atmosphere of fear it creates. Altogether, law enforcement components have been reduced by $1.4 billion (page 16) from 2025 to 2026. Instead of diverting funds to deploy military to cities, which is really only being done for show, that money would be better spent on solving America’s under-policing problem. Consider Washington, D.C., which has a police-officer shortage of about 800 cops. Filling every one of those positions would cost significantly less than the $200 million spent for the deployment to that city. And as all this happens, the Trump administration is cutting budgets to initiatives that reduce crime: In April, the DOJ’s Office of Justice Programs terminated 373 grants affecting 221 organizations for a total of $819.7 million that: … provided federal support for violence reduction, policing and prosecution, victims’ services, juvenile justice and child protection, substance use and mental health treatment, corrections and reentry, justice system enhancements, research and evaluation, and other state- and local-level public safety functions.

This is just a dreadfully amateurish way to negotiate and I would say that if anybody did it. Witkoff is grotesquely unfit for this role. As should be clear to anybody reading these pages, I am concerned for Ukraine’s liberty. That is what concerns me here. If Trump secures that I will praise him.

You don’t have to do anything. It would be nice if you honestly engaged, responded to things instead of running away.

That isn’t what happened. This is the proposed 2026 budget for the entirety of the DOJ and, whatever source you citied to cut and paste isn’t only looking at “law enforcement” budget items nor did it review the totality of the budget. Then somehow you ignorantly tried to conflate this proposed future budget of the DOJ to military spending today…

OMG! You guys were totally right. Look at how authoritarian/fascist/nazi like Trump is! Fascist/literal Nazis always encourage their political foes to attack them to their face. Funny thing is, that cuck Mamdani couldn't even do it when encouraged to. He is just another lwnj bìtch grifting off other lwnjs.

Reasonable people: "renewable energy such as wind can be a valuable addition that helps ease the burden on traditional power generation, but the current tecnology cannot replace traditional means at this time" The left: REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE YOU JUST SAID YOU CAN"T GENERATE ENERGY FROM WIND!! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"

Nutrien, a Canadian fertilizer company and world's largest producer of potash, will build a $1 billion export terminal in Longview Washington, rather than Vancouver. It has plans to export 5-6 million tons of potash per year to Indo-Pacific markets. Analyst Heather Exner-Pirot called it 'a failure on Canada's part and a condemnation of our regulatory environment and inability to permit port infrastructure the private sector actually wants to pay for'. One of the most basic rules of sound economic planning calls for making it simple for companies to get their products to market. We can't blame Nutrien for making an economic decision, especially when Carney's former company Brookfield was forced to move to the U.S. But it still sucks. Our own house has to be put back in order and please stop wasting everyone's time by blaming Trump.

Like murdering people in International waters? That would be legal would it? See how smug you total dupes are if any troops ever pull a Kent State repeat.

Don't get confused by the myriad of other attacks on mom and son. This one is about 30 elementary school kids that attacked and sent both mom and son to hospital. The Texas National Guard was in Chicago to help with this b.s. But 6% (aka the mayor of Chicago) was dead set against it. Now a mom and her son have been hospitalized. I doubt the boy will ever go back to that school. If they can, they will probably move. All because they are not safe and their mayor would rather stick it to Trump than protect his citizens.

and yet you've brought up this inconsequential snippet just as many times.

Coming from the guy who wastes his life screeching at and insulting strangers on the internet. 37,000 posts in less than three years is a cry for help. I'd feel bad for you if you weren't such a belligerent clown, but alas. Go touch grass.

Liberals are at war with cheap/reliable energy, they're at war with exporting energy abroad, they're importing people who hate western culture, they screwed homeowners by putting interest rates below 2% and then jacking them up by 4% in one year, and every time you turn around someone else is in a trade war wit us now. India hates us, China treats us like leppers, and the US is in a trade war with us. Add to that our Libs are fomenting racial hatred within our country. Our country has downgraded so much in the past ten years that it's hard to remember what it was like in the Harper era.

The US military is not bound by “international law” nor is the President or anyone else in America, unless the US has agreed to do so formally thus making it US law.

They are special, so what's the beef (non GMO).

This is your stupid dishonest argument, not mine. You offered nothing to defend him against. I explained the context, if you are too lazy or dishonest to go look, then ask yourself why you are those things.

When will you learn to read to the end of the sentence? FFS I clearly mentioned that he did NOT make that deal in 4 days. But he jumped the queue because we were originally supposed to wait for US to sign their deal with Australia first and then piggyback off of it and the Americans were reportedly unaware of our move. Probably this move been under consideration by the Trudeau government, which Carney had been advising since September but Carney pulled the trigger on it.

Marvie. What illegal orders might you be insinuating?

Meh...he sees his precious being degraded to a mild concern. He's arguing like his gawd depends on it.

A mixed fleet is probably the worst option possible. I think manning the new UAV/UAS and P8 will present enough challenges without spinning up two separate fighter streams. How people don't see and acknowledge some of this stuff is one of life's little mysteries. I don't think they realize how difficult it is to out-train an existing personnel deficit whilst introducing new equipment without so much as a body of corporate knowledge on it. It's taken years but we've arrived at a point where balancing the recruiting, attrition and operational tempo equation (whilst out-training deficits) is really problematic. Managing this requires a five year look ahead horizon and tweaking anticipated requirements as circumstances change. Hard to do that when you're treading water, border line hypothermic and sharks are nibbling at your toes. From what I hear recruiting is barely keeping up with attrition... throw in a combination of intake delays, extended OJT periods, and OTU backlogs and the time to produce a combat ready pilot is now to the point that if I could do it again.... I wouldn't. That's pretty huge BTW so It's worth reading that last sentence twice. At 24 I was an aircraft captain and mission commander, fast forward to now and I'd be finished university with basic training completed and doing a year long french course whilst awaiting a slot at PFS. It can be done... but I sure wouldn't want to be in charge of fixing this.

What was the lie? If you really want to bow out and run away... just stop posting. LOL

Many of Trump's orders are ILLEGAL.

Who knew that overfishing would have any effect.

I guess a 2/3rd drop in car jacking in DC isn't evidence. Nor is a 50% drop in major crime in Memphis. None of that is evidence? Carjackings plummet 87% in the nation’s capital during Trump’s crime crackdown, DC mayor says Memphis major crimes down over 50% since Trump’s federal surge

Every time you deny projection you're basically admitting that you know what I said was correct. About what? Nope. Nope. You should do some internal reflection then.

Yeah you could see that decades ago hereabouts with all the old fish boats and fish plants rotting along the shorelines everywhere you go up and down the coast. We tried to warn you but no one gave a shit then...so why now all of a sudden?

The $1Bn deal for the German Navy was a government-to government deal so there’s no denying the government did that. The $6Bn Radar deal carney signed on his 4th day in office….sure that was clearly vetted and ready to launch but we were apparently supposed to wait for the US military to place their order first and follow their lead and someone decided we were going to lead. As for the other European defence deals sure they could have “just happened all on their own” but considering Carney and his cabinet have been going back and forth across Europe drumming up defence business and signing up for ReArm Europe and signing us up as front runner for ReArm Europe’s new banking headquarters, it’s likely not a coincidence

Correction on that last one, the tribunal found t the NVG bid was biased TOWARDS US firms. I posted a few recent defence deals with European defence firms that are the direct result of the federal government’s initiatives. What the anti-liberals do in their criticism is try to take advantage of the fact an entire project plays put over time, it isn’t conceived, planned and executed in a single day. So they go through this set of arguments : “Oh its just talking, there’s no signed agreement , oh they signed an agreement but that’s just words on paper, nothing is being done, oh somethings being done but no thanks to them, someone else must’ve made those plans before” The submarine project is moving at an extremely fast pace for example, we are already down to our final 2 candidates. A $6Bn Arctic OTH radar deal was signed just 4 days after Carney took office back in March. Critical minerals and energy projects are getting announced across the country left right and centre. Not true see my post above You also predicted in this very thread that the budget wasn’t going to have any new money for defence even though that’s all they have been talking about since March it’s literally the centrepiece of their entire platform and strategy that they’ve been traveling the country and the world to showcase.

Nope. As in nope, if you want to go back to relitigate things said, then go back. You brought it up Cigarrete Smoking Man. Projection. Apparently not. Are you ready to explain what you mean yet? Well, no, not just that. I have repeatedly pointed out your ignorance on subjects like divine inspiration. I am doing just fine. In the end, you are little better than Herbie when it comes to these Strawman argument you have to invent. You already used this logical fallacy before though... so no extra points for getting a new one in this time.

You. Are. A. Sad. Pathetic. Lying. Coward.

This sounds mean, but I don't think that helping FN people, to the extent that we do, is good for them. Look at the Jews, for example. In the ME and Europe, all anyone ever does is slaughter them or discriminate against them, and try to crush them economically. But the Jews are doing a pretty good job of making money and defending themselves from 2B muslims who want them all dead. Im not saying that we should turn muslim and try to kill all the FN people, but the free homes, free money, free university tuition, free dental, free medical, lack of income taxes, etc, doesn't seem to be helping them. They survived 15,000 years in the frozen north with sticks and stones, but they're not doing so well in the age of cars and central heating.

Your 100 % RIGHT, we don't have to buy the any aircraft really, we could just upgrade our F-18 fleet once again.........I mean it would fit in with Canada's long held look at its military, it is cheaper to bury them than it is to buy modern equipment... I mean look back through history we have purchased most of it is not top tier....and yet our politicians have never taken that into account when sending our troops over seas...the result is dead military members....If lives do matter then spend the extra dollar and bring our men and women home.... if your as cheap as Canada is you get a highway of hero's.....Our government has continued to send our troops into danger without even considering the equipment they do it in.....and Canadians don't give a f**** either...or we would not be allowing our government to send our troops any where with out the proper equipment...

............not sure how sending an occupying force to Gaza, er Mexico would solve U.S. demand for illegal drugs. The demand is the problem ........ not the supply. Did prohibition work??

No. It's probably just something you stumbled on while you were looking for a cure for your husband, herbie.

If it's happening, it affects me, deeply. -- Radiorum

I wonder if the founding fathers were accused of having King George derangement syndrome.

Because Trump's chief obligation is to the citizenry, not to foreigners, and there are a lot of citizens here who need help.

Liberal Government Priorities: Bill C-2 - Establishing a surveillance state Bill C-8 - Ability to delete you from the internet Bill C-9 - Ability to jail you for posting a meme Bill C-21 - Gun confiscation Bills C-6, C-8 - Increase foreign aid spending NOT Priorities: Crime Immigration Affordability and Cost of Living The Economy Responsible and Timely budgets

He's only Interim... thank God. But he did find a way for them to object to the Budget without bringing down the govt and committing Party suicide. Just as May did by choosing minimal environment support over risking total backwards abandonment of all supports. At least tonight I can sleep and dream about PeePee LePew curled on the floor, srying, kicking, pounding fists and screaming throwing a total tantrum.

It speaks to the focus on the book. It is not about self-improvement, but conquest. This is something you guys always do in defense of Islam. You pretend to equate the books despite them being so wildly different. There are no biblical quotes that instruct people to kill homosexuals that I'm aware of. Could you cite them? Something like this, for example? "And those two of you who commit it (the shameful act), torture them both". or As narrated by Sayyidna Ibn ` Abbas. ؓ the Holy Prophet ﷺ said: "If you find someone doing what the people of Lot did, kill both the doer and the one with whom it is done. (op. cit.) If the holy book is mostly about peace, especially if the nasty bits have been reinterpreted (as the gay ones in the bible have been) by religious scholars over the years, sure. Islam is not such a religion. It is filled with stories of conquest and torture and murder of the unbelievers, and champions doing such things. It is not merely a piece of it you have to ignore. The core of Islam is about conquering others. No, they don't. There are no Islamic scholars who say homosexuality is okay or that women should have the same rights as men. Oh, come on. This is not a discussion about how barbaric Christianity was in previous centuries. Glad I don't live there. Don't want to live among crazy, violent religious people. And yet, Islam has not done so. Every. Single. One? You were just mentioning earlier how different Muslim cultures are. Some are in the Pacific. Some in Central Asia, the Middle East and North Africa. How are all Muslim cultures across the world backward? We aren't 100 years ahead. We're several hundred years ahead. Islam has not had a reformation and won't. It is keeping Muslim countries back economically, scientifically, and socially. It's not like these countries have been in ignorance about the changes elsewhere over the past few centuries. They simply refuse to do the same. When Guttenberg invented the printing press it was banned in the Muslim world for 250 years. More books were translated into Spanish last year than have EVER been translated into Arabic. There are 9 technicians, scientists and, engineers per 1000 people in the Muslim world vs 141 in the West. The principal topic of study in all Muslim countries from kindergarten through university is Islam. Those who know about China would still say it. It's still a brutal, autocratic regime that practices torture, murder, and genocide. Do you want to live under such a regime?

You didn't explain anything of the sort. European troops positioned in Ukraine would be a European security guarantee, and have nothing to do with US mineral rights in Ukraine. It's telling that you frame it like that. You understand it was dumb/wrong, but you minimize it as if it doesn't matter. In reality, this is a huge propaganda win for Putin, one that will be played and replayed in Russia for as long as this war goes on. It wasn't just a dumb accident. Why would Putin tell Trump to pound sand? Everything Trump's done so far has helped him. Trump gift-wrapped an enormous moral and propaganda victory, legitimizing his actions on the world stage while at the same time yanking the support Ukraine needs to stand up to him. Putin couldn't have a better friend than that! 🤣👌

My claim is that Zelensky didn't sign because of a lack of security guarantees, and that Trump and his sycophants are comically out there trying to spin a mineral rights deal as a security guarantee. Your limp word games are yet another of your deep intellectual dishonesty - something you complain about ad nauseum on this forum. The air has oxygen in it is also a fact. Congratulations on using words. "He has said many things." 🤣 Congratulations on using words again.

Trump, Vance, Marco Rubio among others. Publicly validating Putin's propaganda is leverage!? 🤣🤣🤣 Military aid being contingent on a deal is leverage. Openly providing justification for Putin's war efforts accomplishes nothing but emboldening and strengthening Russia. Trump "backing off" on that is just useless, deluded coping on your part - the sort of mental gymnastics you do to rationalize how little your convictions count for when they conflict with what's going on in the MAGA cult.
