Having taken the $2Bn should have made him ineligible to go back. But this is the most corrupt administration in us history. Of course the 2B was a bribe ti begin with. Saudis aren’t in the habit of investing billions with people who have zero qualifications or experience with investment management, especially a Jewish person, over the objections of their own financial advisers ….and earning zero returns. But that’s what happened.

So has Saudi Arabia. What’s the rush to destabilize the entire region without congressional approval? If the purpose of this attack is to punish Iran for what Iran has been doing over the past several years and decades then why didn’t trump campaign on this instead of campaigning on being a non-interventionist peace president?

Well Trump never provided stats to ever show that there was an increase in cocaine much less an increase Venezuela-routed cocaine but we were all told the reason that his had to happen ASAP with no time for congressional approval was that there was a cocaine emergency due to Maduro purposely flooding USA with cocaine as part of deliberate attack on USA. NOW you’re claiming it was never about the cocaine? It was just to arrest a random criminal right when Trump was pardoning and releasing the ex-president of Honduras for the same thing?

Gwadar to Nawabshah Is inside Pakistan and not near China. China also consumes far more oil than what can be transported via pipelines

1) MAGAs don’t care about how many foreigners are killed in a foreign land 2) Trump is only 1 year into his term no need rush 3) Iran hasn’t been able to get nukes to date and they’ve been trying dor decades 4)) BIDEN???! Lmao Iran has been contained for decades. Trump isn’t attacking Iran because they’ve suddenly become strong, he’s attacking them because they’ve suddenly become weak and vulnerable. I am afraid that you and the MAGA cult are going to be in for a big surprise. Are you too young to remember what happened when you tried to “liberate” Iraq? Let’s be clear what is happening: Trump is initiating unprovoked attacks against America’s traditional enemies with the naive belief that he can topple these regimes and some friendly stable alternative will magically spring into place without spilling a drop of American blood and with no consequence to global economic stability. The naïveté is absolutely galling but its to be expected given that there is not ONE person in the entire Trump administration with any kind of relevant education or experience to know WTF they are talking about.

When Trump invaded Venezuela supposedly to rid them of a “narco-terrorist” regime, he ended up keeping the narcoterrorists in power and just naming himself as their new leader. Meanwhile there’s been zero change to the amount of cocaine in USA. So now will Trump try to appoint himself ayatollah of Iran?

Only a MAGA needs more than 15 hours to write some words on a sign…..and yet they are still full of spelling errors.

1) There is no viable pipeline route from pakistan to china due to terrain and political instability and therefore no concrete plans 2) any such pipeline would only be a drop in the bucket of what China needs or what iran can produce and Iranian oil is heavily sanctioned so they wouldn’t be “controlling the oil supply” Fake news. MAGA is rife with antisemites.

1). If the nuclear program was really as obliterated as Trump first claimed then Iran would be years or decades away from reconstituting it so there would be no need to rush to attack. That can’t be the reason 2) Republicans and especially MAGA are the ones who oppose being “the world’s policemen” fighting foreign wars to save the lives of foreigners. Nobody cares LESS about thousands of foreigners dying than MAGAs so that can’t be the reason either. Republicans have always been the warmongering party the only time they ever pretended to be the peace party was when MAGAs called for Ukraine to surrender to Russia and to make phoney insincere complaints about Obama drone strikes even as Trump set a new record for drone strikes during his first administration. . And when they opposed intervention during the Rwandan genocide. Oh and also when they opposed fighting Hitler. Trumps statement supposedly justifying the attack reads just like Hamas’s justification for the October 7 attack on Israel, in that it was mostly a rehashing of old well-worn complaints that have been around for decades, not as a reaction to some new recent event. Like Putin, he waited until the Olympics are over to make the move he always intended to make. Is Cuba next? He placed an embargo on them for no apparent reason other historical grievances. Who else is going to learn the true meaning of the FIFA Peace Prize through air strikes?

Trump is earning his FIFA peace prize again. Everyone remembers all these attacks being part of Trump’s election campaign right? Whats hilarious is he bombed Iran the first time he claimed the had obliterated their nuclear program and MAGAs all screamed media conspiracy when the media reported it hadn’t done much damage at all. But now apparently the justification for more attacks is that nuclear program is still intact after all.

FTFY

Timely communication. Here is Carney telling Canadians that his government’s ONLY response to productivity and cost of living is for the PM to order a 15-year study. Must be why he’s so far behind PP in the polls / end sarcasm

The State of the Union was a zoo – and Team USA the monkeys It was only as they filed into the chamber inside Washington’s Capitol building on Tuesday night – surrounded by hooting politicians – that it seemed to occur to Team USA what they had gotten themselves into. This was a zoo. They were the monkeys. In fairness, that is kind of what they do for a living, but that’s on their own terms, and for money. They are the stars of that show. On Tuesday, they were props for the actual star and got nothing for it but grief. The ones headed back to Canadian teams – Winnipeg’s Connor Hellebuyck and Toronto’s Auston Matthews, in particular – will never live it down. U.S. men’s hockey team feted at Trump’s State of the Union address Matthews made things worse by showing up at the White House during the day, but skipping the State of the Union address at night. It shows that he got how it looked, and tried to finesse his way through it. Sadly for many NHLers, they don’t teach finessing in high school. If you watch the video carefully – around the time the players are being encouraged to pump their fists and chant ‘U-S-A’ – you can see recognition dawning on a few faces. That whatever this is, it is not aggrandizing. It was a terrible idea. The whole thing. They could’ve just gone to a night club for three days and had everyone’s phone confiscated at the door, but ooohhhh no, someone had to get ambitious. Ambition is at the core of this. In American pro terms, hockey is a third-class endeavour. This was Team USA’s big chance to move to the front of the culture. They weren’t ready for it. I think it was the sweaters. Going around in public dressed up like an early middle-aged Glee Club is not very Michael Jordan. It was the sweaters, with a side of sycophancy. The USA players could have played this straight down the middle. Been modest and self-effacing after their victory. Kept the politics to one side. But where’s the fun in that? How do you mine aura out of humility? They could not risk going in too hard on Canada. They all play with Canadians, many of whom have more juice than they do at work. No one who takes shots at Sidney Crosby is going to survive long in today’s NHL. U.S. women’s ice hockey team decline invite to Trump’s State of the Union address Evidently, their big idea was to lean hard into the red, white and blue. Instead of sticking it to Canada, they’d stick it to the Libs. For 72 hours, it would be frat house rules. That’s how you end up beer bongin’ with the director of the FBI and going into hysterics when the President invites you over to his place. Some people were appalled. ‘Twenty-something professional hockey players? Drawn to power? Unaware of the troubles of their fellow citizens?’ To which I would say, are you serious? What do you think these people talk about when they’re alone? Book clubbing The Wretched of the Earth? They talk about sea-doos, watches and stick tape. A lot of them went to college, but none of them actually went to college. They went to hockey. I’d be shocked if more than a handful of them had ever read a book that wasn’t Harry Potter. Members of the U.S. men's Olympic hockey team, top, are recognized by Trump as he gestures to them during his State of the Union address.ANDREW CABALLERO-REYNOLDS/AFP/Getty Images Try to remember that these men were not raised to be independent thinkers. That would be antithetical to getting where they’ve gotten. They are designed from childhood to live in packs. Whenever a new alpha – like the current U.S. President – wanders into their midst, even telephonically, their instinct is to roll over and start chittering. Hence, the idi*tic guffawing after Trump called them up right after they’d won gold and made a ‘girls have cooties’ joke about the USA women’s team. If he’d dared them to strip naked and go streaking on the ice, many of them would have done it. That’s what being a hockey player is. A few U.S. team members are being singled out as heroes for resisting the Trump allure, but those few have different hierarchies to worry about. Kyle Connor didn’t show up. Maybe he disagrees with current U.S. policy. Maybe he had an engagement party to attend. Maybe he gets that he has to go to work in Manitoba, and isn’t an indispensable superstar like Hellebuyck. Colorado’s Brock Nelson didn’t go. Maybe it’s the politics. Or maybe he didn’t like the idea of being seen to put himself above his social betters – Avalanche teammates Nathan MacKinnon, Cale Makar and Devon Toews – all of whom had reported back for duty. Going to the White House and then being stood up as props for the big show doesn’t make Team USA suddenly bad. I’m pretty sure most of them didn’t have a serious think about what it meant, and will never do so. To them, it’s viral content and a great picture for the hero wall at home. If the U.S. were to elect a Communist, they’d have shown up to his party, too. The only political bone in any of their bodies is the tax bone. Why do you think every hockey player loves Florida, but no one wants to go to California? Because they love swamps? It doesn’t make them bad. Rather, it makes them not particularly smart, or savvy. They were that way before they won anything. So what have we learned from this nonsense? Only one important thing – that pro athletes aren’t your friends. With some exceptions, they don’t think like you think. They don’t share your priorities, or views, or understanding of how to be in the world, because they live in a very different one. If they were to get the unfiltered truth of what a typical pro thinks about how things work, most work-a-day people would probably be somewhere between put off and repulsed. That doesn’t mean you can’t like the NHL. It means that liking it doesn’t entail kidding yourself that everyone playing in it is a saint and a deep thinker. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/article-state-of-the-union-nhl-mens-team-usa-hockey-players/?login=true

Meanwhile back in the real world… Liberals ascend to 13-point lead in vote intention as Canadians continue to demand hard line on U.S. trade Overall, two-thirds (64%) say Carney has done a good or great job handling the Canada–U.S. relationship so far — nearly identical to the proportion (63%) who approve of his overall performance as prime minister. That approval appears to be translating into improved electoral prospects for the Liberals. Currently, 45 per cent say they would vote for the LPC in a future federal election, compared to 32 per cent who prefer the Conservative Party. The resulting 13-point lead marks a 10-point increase in the Liberals’ advantage compared to last month’s tracking. https://angusreid.org/liberals-ascend-to-13-point-lead-in-vote-intention-as-canadians-continue-to-demand-hard-line-on-u-s-trade/

LOL It was more than “a few fringe people on the right” and Trump’s people especially Pam Bondi fanned the flames. And reversing their promise to release the files, lying about Trump’s associations with Epstein and attacking anyone who called that out is a self-fanning flame. The Epstein controversy is an Epic Republican own-goal with Democrats eating popcorn from the stands

Well evidently he did pick up a gun didn’t he?

And then in the end it went back down to 10 after all that.

Not misrepresenting anything.FACT : She was asking for more immigrants. Now she’s holding a referendum on curbing immigration and stirring controversy on there being more immigrants.

Nope he was a former Trump supporter who went off the rails over the Epstein, a conspiracy originally started by the right.

GDP is primarily corporate profits not wages. That’s why impoverished shit holes in the US like Mississippi have high gdp per capita despite millions living in squalor with lower average household income than in Canada, it’s because have Corporations park their money while people there earn squat. Unlike USA inflation in Canada has remained within targets although there are still hotspots in certain sectors and wage growth outpaced inflation in 2024 and 2025 and in every month that Carney has been PM You are lying. It’s not the only thing this government is doing. The cancer hospital is waiting for you to show up and claim that they’re waiting 15 years to treat people. You don’t know what you’re talking about. All you bogus claims have no evidence to support them you don’t know what the stats are now or what they were when conservatives were in power or what good stats are compared to bad ones. You just copy-paste the same unsupported nonsense whenever your party is not in power.

No that’s what I every time you float lies like claiming Bush Jr balanced the budget or that Carney admitted he was an acquaintance of Epstein or that the mass die off of indigenous people from European diseases had nothing to do with the arrival of Europeans or that the left wing movements and labour unions supported Hitler or that an article titled “baseless 2000 mules video contains no evidence” was actually try to persuade readers that 2000 mules presented compelling evidence, or my personal fave that storing “cans of gasoline” can somehow make pipe-fed natural gas power plants produce more electricity Bullshitting is what you do. Thanks for proving yet again that you don’t know what you’re talking about. Your chart is showing GDP per capita not productivity Here is productivity: Stronger growth in Canada relative to the United States in the mid-1970s and early 1980s was balanced by slower growth in the late 1980s. However, the significant and prolonged gap in labour productivity growth between Canada and the United States after 2001 stands as an unprecedented development compared with the previous four decades. From 2001 to 2021, the United States observed a moderate deceleration in labour productivity to 2.0% per year, while Canada’s growth rate fell to 0.9% per year. https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/36-28-0001/2023012/article/00006-eng.htm Here is a related assessment which basically attributes the gap to a higher percentage of small firms in Canada compared to USA as well as greater inefficiency of large Canadian firms due to lack of reinvestment https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/36-28-0001/2025012/article/00002-eng.htm LMAO YOU DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT! What I posted is ESTABLISHED FACT There’s even an entire other thread started just to show the copy-paste from CHAT GPT. Canada in general doesn’t have an economy based on owning IP. Canadian researchers give away IP for free or sell it at a fraction of its full value to US companies. We sell minimally processed raw materials and component parts to US companies, which are low-margin products. We then import back high-margin finished products. Canadian companies don’t expand abroad, we invite foreign companies to move here and buy up Canadian firms. The Canadian economy has one of the highest levels of foreign ownership in the G20 and highest in the G7. Those are all well-reported facts that drag our productivity down. Also here’s an article on your precious conservative site THE HUB written by none other than the very same Trevor Tombe who will also be overseeing this 15 year study you’re baselessly attacking: productivity has always lagged the US and its gotten worse and yes a sudden increase in immigration increases the denominator in this measure but a company doesn’t become less productive just because there are more people in the general population is why its less accurate. https://thehub.ca/2024/09/05/trevor-tombe-the-great-divergence-canadas-economic-gap-with-the-u-s-reaches-a-new-record/ Here’s a way to understand GDP per capita as it relates to productivity: population is generally understood to provide economic potential: the more people you have, the larger the economy more you should be able produce. That’s why the US economy is so much larger than Canada’s So economic output (GDP) divided by available resources (population).But that’s like trying to measure your car’s gas mileage by output (kms actually driven) divided by available gas stored in your shed. Adding or removing gas from the shed doesn’t affect your car’s fuel efficiency, it only shows how far you COULD drive if you make the effort to do so. Only the amount of gas you have to put in the tank measures efficiency, which for productivity means measuring the actual hours of labour (or labour cost) So if you add a lot of people suddenly and they don’t produce as much as everyone else as was the case under Trudeau the last few years, your GDP per capita goes down on paper. In other words you didn’t drive very far despite seemingly having a massive stockpile of gasoline to do so. But that doesn’t explain why your car is getting lousy gas mileage. And in that same way, Canada admitting lots of immigrants doesn’t explain why companies can’t efficiently generate profits Also you should know that the quarterly unemployment rate under Trudeau-Carney in 2024-2025 (ranged between 6.1% and 7.1% and is currently 6.5%) is better than it was under Harper 2014-2015 (ranged between 6.8% and 7.1%). When it was 7.1 % earlier this year you were tearing your chest hairs out screaming that it’s the liberal-caused apocalypse even though that was a common rate under Harper. In fact under Harper unemployment in EVERY quarter since 2009 was equal or worse than ANY quarter under Trudeau -Carney except for a few during early COVID 2020-2021. As recently as Q4 2023 the unemployment rate under Trudeau was 5.4% which was lower than anything under Harper. There was a labour shortage and businesses were begging for immigrants, even Danielle Smith. So save your BS and gaslighting

Not to mention the Canadian captain was out with an injury.

Letter on Alberta website here: https://www.alberta.ca/system/files/Premier Smith Letter to Prime Minister Trudeau.pdf As this substack commenter put it: Danielle Smith's 2024 letter to Trudeau: Demanded Ottawa DOUBLE Alberta's immigration spots (20k+ annually) + 10k more for Ukrainians to fix 'critical labour shortages' and grow our economy. 2026 reality: Blames Trudeau's 'open-border disaster' for the exact influx straining services, announces Oct referendum to LIMIT immigration, restrict newcomer access to health/education/social supports. Set-up complete: Lobby for more when Big Oil and the Oligarchy needs workers, then scapegoat Ottawa and immigrants when the bill hits working families. UCP classic—top vs. bottom, not left vs. right. While we're divided, pockets get picked. Albertans: See the pattern? #AlbertaForward

Your lesbos also beat our men’s team today. 2x lucky. Congrats.
