Instead of being horrified by yet another blatant abuse of power, I have every expectation that the cultists here will cheer the further dismantling of our democratic checks and balances. They will cheer a no-longer-politically-independent DOJ being misused to intimidate the FED into being no-longer-politically -independent. They will cheer a government that, instead of serving the people, serves only the would-be dictator.

“Dictator on Day One” still being a dictator on Day 356

Newsweek: Massive fraud allegations in California: What we know “What we’re trying to do is paint a picture,” he explained. “With, you know, a heavy caveat as to the accuracy of the number, but we think it’s going to be at least $250 billion … and probably more than that once you get into it.” “What’s actually happened is the pandemic spending has been baked into the regular spending trajectory,” he said. “That’s what’s happened. So my estimate is that we’re really talking about the explosion of spending around the pandemic which has been carried into normal budgeting.” President Trump, meanwhile, dubbed California “more corrupt than Minnesota” while announcing a federal probe into alleged fraud in the state early Tuesday. Minnesota Governor Walz announced he planned to abandon his quest for a third term amid an ongoing multibillion-dollar fraud scandal. A day earlier, Hilton and Morgan wrote a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi requesting an investigation into purported “systemic fraud and fiduciary negligence” in state-funded programs. ********** I used to think we could only balance the budget by cutting programs. In the last year, I have become certain that we can balance the budget by simply eliminating fraud. Kick in some waste and abuse elimination and we probably have a healthy surplus.

How did I know you would defend fraud in the government?

But not to obstruct law enforcement.

What are you talking about? This is the first time I mentioned it. Talk about obsession - you guys protecting Trump even in this fiasco

also if they do get politicans to go against abortion rights they really are stupid. canadian will reject any conservative party looking like they want to remove womans rights its been proven time after time in modern canadian politics

Sounds like the cpc wants to become closer and closer to the republicans. oh well they almost had me when they went centrist with otoole as leader was very cllose to voting for them.. this new cpc no thank you

You did that all by yourself? Impressive. P.S. Since NDP support everything Liberal, your Orange riding is actually a Liberal riding.

Trump has obviously pumped you up with a pathological hate, seek help. Dillon-Wagoner.

Says the person acting like a child hiding from me because of all the lies you have been caught telling.

Hodad was in another thread complaining about the lack of decency with which ICE agents treat child-sodomizers - AKA, leftists.

Do any leftards here understand what Powell might actually be indicted for? No, you do not, so stfu.

And what I see from Trump, Vance, Hegseth et al, is a very deep insecurity. They have something to prove, a bottomless pit they can't fill.

Joe Biden was a vegetable and not a peep out of you. F*cking hypocrite.

I was just about to post a thread highlighting this very statement. Thanks for sharing it. The Trump administration is out of control. He is mad with power. Here are the important points - Trump’s Department of Justice has served the Federal Reserve with grand jury subpoenas threatening criminal indictment, using Jerome Powell's testimony before the Senate banking Committee as a pretext. (The appearance was about renovating office buildings.) It’s all about setting interest rates – and Trump wants his preferences to be the deciding factor – not what will best serve the public and the economy, based on evidence and economic conditions. Monetary policy cannot be decided by political intimidation.

Completely detached from reality

Agreed... I didn't mention it previously because the polarization here is already over the top, but I blame the people inciting these actions and encouraging direct (and provocative) interference by folks who are clearly out of their their element and way beyond their depth. I suspect she was a kind lady who simply got caught up in something that was over her head, I doubt she even recognized that her situation had suddenly shifted to one that demanded caution and compliance. Most of all It saddens me to think that the last thing she (probably) heard was "drive baby drive." There's a stark lesson in this but I fear the people who need it most are the ones least likely to heed it. This is also an objective lesson in reality for keyboard warriors who watch too much TV... things can go badly wrong in a heart beat. When stakes are high and time is short it increases the potential for them in direct proportion. You can call off a dog but not a bullet. I didn't look but there might be some "shoot / don't shoot" simulations on YOUTUBE that would prove instructive for some. If I see any I'll post one later... Cheers

The funniest thing is that they actually did that. They were like, "we called 10 daycare and the one that answered said they weren't committing fraud."

o Re: Maybe give them one of your emotional support goats. Of course, the truth is that Trump was re_tried in the court of (National) public opinion - they elected him President? Elections have consequences? How's that?

Yup, and its obvious the Liberals would have won if too many of us had voted Conservative. I just knew there was a better chance we'd get a Liberal majority if I'd voted for the Conservative. What would you have done? Not dumb enough to vote in a way that might well have resulted in a Liberal majority. Again I say, you're welcome.

It is quite obsessive.

Poilievre doesn’t learn. If Trump truly did lose him the election, as some people have said, why is he still embracing Trumpism? Is he just not intelligent? Normal Canadians do not like Trumpism. The leader of the opposition can’t seem to understand that. https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/article/sharan-kaur-by-cheering-on-trumps-venezuela-raid-poilievre-undermines-our-rule-of-law/ Instead, Poilievre is increasingly mirroring the Trumpian ‘Great Man’ theory of history — the idea that norms are for the weak and that the ends always justify the means. He is trading the quiet, difficult work of international diplomacy for the dopamine hit of a ‘strongman’ victory. This isn’t just a foreign policy shift; it is an ideological drift toward a world where institutional decay is rebranded as ‘common sense’ discipline. We must be able to hold two thoughts at once: that Maduro belongs in a courtroom; and that a lawless military raid is the wrong way to get him there. True leadership in Ottawa requires the courage to tell our closest ally that they cannot burn down the neighborhood to catch a thief. By choosing to be an echo rather than a voice, Poilievre has shown us which side of the rules-based order he truly stands on.

NYT: Officials told The New York Times, which was first to report the probe, that it centers on whether Powell accurately characterized the scope and cost of the renovation during congressional appearances. Leftists: "Trump put the wrong sq footage on a loan application, which he paid off, and the bank was 100% satisfied and pressed no charges: 34 FELONIES!!!!! YAY!!!!!!" Leftists: "Powell seems to have lied to congress about the scope and cost of work to be done at the Fed Reserve Bank, to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars... So what?" Remember how irate leftists got when Trump renovated the WH, and added a ballroom? "OMG IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD! HITLER ALSO BUILT A BALLROOM!" 🤣 You guys are f'ing children, and your constant tantrums are beyond sickening.

Oh, but Trump did name himself as the "Acting President of Venezuela" I wonder what the electorate have to say about that.

More 'university of facebook' stuff from you i see

Unfortunately, there was lots caving alright. Console yourself that the only effect my vote had was to keep my riding Orange. If I'd voted for Conservatives the Liberals would have won it instead. You're welcome.

One day you perverts will look back and see how right Trump was, and how stunted & corrupt you were.

It's a dragnet, so.......yes.

What a complete lie. You are too big of a coward to own this. There are maybe a handful of examples of mistakes made that are corrected, just like any law enforcement action...

Spoken like a child caught in a lie. Sure, its my fault for pointing out the truth, not your fault for blindly carrying Trump's water. 🙄 That's just the number ProPublica tracked down on their own. The government is not sharing information on their mistakes. Transparency would risk accountability, and Trumpco won't allow that possibility. The actions of the secret police must stay secret.

No, it's the reason. I don't like it either, in fact, I'd take my dislike of the practice one step further and say that I actually resent the fact that people like you made it necessary.... and now complain about it as if you had nothing to do with it becoming SOP. Were you seriously expecting a different counter to doxing?

Your hero...traitor.

Wow! You can colour between the lines. Pretty good for an American Troll!

Indeed. We're ALL interlopers if you go back far enough......................

........... arguably if Pierre hadn't repatriated the Constitution in 1982 the U.S. would be discussing Canada's future with Great Britain.

Every single one, without exception? How about something like...Hare Krishna or astronomy media?

I figured you'd be more shocked I just suggested adding more weight to that all important x.

It. Is. On. Video. Your only position here now is to play dumb and be dishonest.

TDS? Putting Trump above the economy I would say is the deranged position

have you any idea how the operations of ICE have changed under the Trump regime? Are you aware that there were many deportations that happened under previous administrations? Are you aware there is a way to conduct the operations of ICE without putting Gestapo in the streets?

Well you said you took the oath of allegiance. I guess it was for a government job or something.

No more is needed.
