The US doesn’t arm and support Iran, Orange is already heavily sanctioned and was recently bombed by USA. so why would anyone here protest? Iran doesn’t even have a US embassy to protest in front of. If the US treated Israel the way it treats Iran the left wing protestors would be more satisfied. Are you suggesting that should be the case?

That’s been a repeat claim of his and his spokespeople Sometimes they say 7 wars, IIRC sometimes they say 8 wars. For the record he has ended zero wars. Dude it’s an attack whether he’s the legitimate leader or not, whether it was justified or not. An attack is not a subjective term Attack means to use aggressive force against someone. . We attacked the Nazis in Dday. Americans attacked the Japanese at Iwo Jima. Dozens of Venezuelan soldiers were killed and power plants were hit. It’s literally the definition of “attack”. Words don’t care about feelings. And stop calling scything a “lie” when it isn’t one. No I’m just calling out rhe hypocrisy of the right’s endless stream of lies and baseless accusations and then you scream “LIE!!!” whenever they hear something they’d rather not hear

It was the price of admission to get an audience with him. Trump is now running the “narcoterrorist” regime that is still ruling Venezuela and she is the leader of the rightfully elected party yet Trump refuses to hand over power to her. So she has important business to discuss with him and is willing to pay the access fee. I guess she didn’t have the money for the half million per year Trump family bribe club fee or to launder funds into his crypto accounts

That has a lot more basis in fact than the nonsense you spew. If you can say Obama encouraged BLM rioters simply because he acknowledged racism is real even while calling for peace then I can state the obvious that Trump got something he deeply coveted from someone desperate for an audience with him

He and his spokespeople said many times “military force” “is an option” and he was taking Greenland “whether they like it or not”, “the easy way or the hard way”. . These have all been extensively reported You honestly need quotes? Here is just SOME of many examples

Which President bulldozed a wing of the white house without approval from anyone to build a monstrous Gaudy extravagant BALLROOM named after himself? Especially when Americans are struggling to put food on the table thanks to his tariffs? Which President seized control of the Kennedy Centre and renamed it after himself (spoiler alert: not Kennedy). Which sitting President commissioned a ridiculous monstrous battleship and named the class after himself? (Side note: this ridiculous disastrous white elephant is the laughingstock of the international military and maritime community and its never getting built) You would be APOPLECTIC amd screaming DICTATOR if a DEMOCRAT did that Can you give examples of any President whose acolytes have renamed landmarks in his his honour while he’s still in office?

Do you know how ridiculous you sound? Your first link doesn’t say “certain cities didn’t report their crimes to the system” or that the alleged deficiencies on the way the FBI collects data makes the crime rate artificially low. Nor does anything say that the deficiencies with FBI methodology have been fixed.

Yeah there were no sunsets or pretty women in dresses before Trump. LMAO you probably believe that. What is true is that there weren’t megalomaniac presidents who needs slavish devotees to constantly name things after him and shower him with unearned praise

You first, let me know how well it “works”

No. YOU are the liar I asked you to answer 2 questions which you continue to avoid like a chickeshit little biotch. ONE MORE TIME 1) YES OR NO - DO YOU BELIEVE TRUMP MIGHT FORCEFULLY ANNEX GREENLAND FROM DENMARK, A NATO ALLY, AGAINST ITS WILL 2) YES OR NO - WOULD YOU SUPPORT IT IF HE DID You’re such a devoted little Trump cultist you know annexing Greenland is morally and legally indefensible but you know it’s something Trump might do and you’re araif of accidentally being offside with youe cult leader. Meanwhile Trump is now threatening any country who opposes his annexation Trump threatens tariffs on countries opposed to his Greenland annexation plan U.S. President Donald Trumpsuggested Friday that he may punish countries with tariffs if they don’t back the U.S. controlling Greenland, a message that came as a bipartisan Congressional delegation sought to lower tensions in the Danish capital. Trump for months has insisted that the U.S. should control Greenland, a semi-autonomous territory of NATO ally Denmark, and said earlier this week that anything less than the Arctic island being in U.S. hands would be “unacceptable.” During an unrelated event at the White House about rural health care, he recounted Friday how he had threatened European allies with tariffs on pharmaceuticals. “I may do that for Greenland too,” Trump said. “I may put a tariff on countries if they don’t go along with Greenland, because we need Greenland for national security. So I may do that,” he said. … Trump has sought to justify his calls for a U.S. takeover by repeatedly claiming that China and Russia have their own designs on Greenland, which holds vast untapped reserves of critical minerals. The White House hasn’t ruled out taking the territory by force. “We have heard so many lies, to be honest and so much exaggeration on the threats towards Greenland,” said Aaja Chemnitz, a Greenlandic politician and member of the Danish parliament who took part in Friday’s meetings. “And mostly, I would say the threats that we’re seeing right now is from the U.S. side.” Murkowski emphasized the role of Congress in spending and in conveying messages from constituents. “I think it is important to underscore that when you ask the American people whether or not they think it is a good idea for the United States to acquire Greenland, the vast majority, some 75 per cent, will say, we do not think that that is a good idea,” she said. Along with Senator Jeanne Shaheen, a New Hampshire Democrat, Murkowski has introduced bipartisan legislation that would prohibit the use of U.S. Defense or State department funds to annex or take control of Greenland or the sovereign territory of any NATO member state without that ally’s consent or authorization from the North Atlantic Council. Inuit council criticizes White House statements The dispute is looming large in the lives of Greenlanders. Greenland’s Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen said on Tuesday that “if we have to choose between the United States and Denmark here and now, we choose Denmark. We choose NATO. We choose the Kingdom of Denmark. We choose the EU.” The chair of the Nuuk, Greenland-based Inuit Circumpolar Council, which represents around 180,000 Inuit from Alaska, Canada, Greenland, and Russia’s Chukotka region on international issues, said persistent statements from the White House that the U.S. must own Greenland offer “a clear picture of how the US administration views the people of Greenland, how the U.S. administration views Indigenous peoples, and peoples that are few in numbers.” Sara Olsvig told the Associated Press in Nuuk that the issue is “how one of the biggest powers in the world views other peoples that are less powerful than them. And that really is concerning.” Indigenous Inuit in Greenland do not want to be colonized again, she said. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/world/article-denmark-greenland-trump-takeover-threats/

You guys lie every day from WMD lies to stolen 2020 election lies Any intelligent person can INFER what happened by Trump’s character, his theft of.Venzuela, his stated intent to steal Denmark , his stated desire for the Nobel Prize that she won, his previous lie thatbshe said he truly deserved it. Believing Trump didn’t force her to hand it over doesn’t make him any less deplorable. The fact that he accepted it under any circumstances is dishonourable enough.

Oh look at this open letter today on the Nobel Committee website. I wonder what inspired this? The Nobel Prize and the Laureate Are Inseparable The medal and the diploma are the physical symbols confirming that an individual or organisation has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. The prize itself – the honour and recognition – remains inseparably linked to the person or organisation designated as the laureate by the Norwegian Nobel Committee. 16 Jan 2026 A Nobel Peace Prize laureate receives two central symbols of the prize: a gold medal and a diploma. In addition, the prize money is awarded separately. Regardless of what may happen to the medal, the diploma, or the prize money, it is and remains the original laureate who is recorded in history as the recipient of the prize. Even if the medal or diploma later comes into someone else’s possession, this does not alter who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. A laureate cannot share the prize with others, nor transfer it once it has been announced. A Nobel Peace Prize can also never be revoked. The decision is final and applies for all time.… https://www.nobelpeaceprize.org/press/press-releases/the-nobel-prize-and-the-laureate-are-inseparable

I think it’s obvious. If it wasn’t a demand of his she wouldn’t have offered and he wouldn’t have accepted and he’s already on record saying he is the one who really deserves it. Even if you want to go with “this was totally her idea and in no way came from Trump” the very fact that she felt she needed to offer it just to gain an audience with him and the very fact he accepted it -which absolutely NOBODY with a shred of decency would do - tells you what a deplorable scumbag he is.

You can win every battle and still lose the war…for example Vietnam Except that the goal was regime change to a US puppet in the span of a few weeks or months with minimal casualties and cost…not 10 years with nearly 40,000 US servicemen killed or wounded and a new regime that is a Shiite vassal of Iran. FAIL Not to mention the US public and congress only supported the war because they believed the Bush Administration’s lies and fabricated evidence that Saddam was working with Al Qaeda and had WMD capable of striking US soil. Not to mention the war was far from US shores so they didn’t care much anyway, war is something fun for most Americans to watch on TV. A clearly unjustified and unprovoked war of aggression against America’s closest friend and ally by the most divisive and unpopular president in history is not going to be supported or just met with the usual protests, especially when it disrupts life for everyday Americans. I think enough Canadians and sympathetic Americans would resist amd that they would figure out the logistics of medical etc,and have a pan-north American network in the fictional event the US invaded Canada You fly a drone, you make a homemade bomb and bury it somewhere. Realistically though the US won’t invade Canada, they would simply covertly engineer the election of a sympathetic Conservative puppet elected and rule by proxy while maintaining all the superficial symbols of a sovereign country.

So…remember when Trump hilariously and falsely claimed he “ended 7 wars (or was it 8?)” and that he deserved the nobel peace prize? Remember when he falsely claimed the person who ACTUALLY won - Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado - called him to tell him he should have won and that it rightfully belonged to him? Remember when Trump the “peace-lover” then attacked Venezuela kidnapped its president but left the supposed “narco-terrorist” regime in power to exact retribution on anyone who celebrated the attack because he said Machado “is not respected”? Well now in order to meet Trump and plead for her country, Trump made her hand over her Nobel Peace Prize to him Have you ever heard of anything so childish and depraved and disgusting? Stealing someone’s Nobel Prize doesn’t make you a Nobel Prize winner, not that crook like him would care. https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/trump-meet-venezuelan-opposition-leader-machado-after-praising-its-government-2026-01-15/

Yet if you READ the article it says it’s a continuation of a multi-year trend that started before Trump took office, 2023 and 2024 were the previous record years…you don’t credit Biden for that do you? Presidents don’t effect crime rates especially in their first year. Crime is driven by socio-economic conditions that develop over time.

LMAO. That’s like trying to put out a fire by dousing it with gasoline

The Chair of the Federal Reserve isn’t just some random “banker”. Liberals defend good government which requires a competent and professional banking regulator, not the corrupt incompetent cronyism you neo-fascists want.

When it comes to knowing what macroeconomic policies to take, yes they are too stupid. People who think gas power plants run on “cans of gasoline” don’t know what types of energy infrastructure are “good for them”, for example People who believe that fentanyl is “pouring across the border” from Canada, that USA “doesn’t need anything from Canada” that there are no renewable energy projects in China (because renewables are a Chinese scam) or that COVID and vaccines are hoax are demonstrably too stupid to know what’s good for them.

Those were conventional wars, not COIN or occupation. USA has failed every COIN war its fought. Don’t forget Vietnam. And those wars back when it was totally acceptable and normal to carpet bomb entire cities amd civilian populations . And it was before the era of global trade where us companies have hundreds of billions of dollars in trade and sunk investment. And the US didn’t share a border with those countries where it would have to deal with the mass refugee crisis such action created. Even someone as depraved and irrational as Trump is not going to do that when there’s so much downside for USA. Not to to mention zero support from even Republicans in congress And North America is massive you can dit all of Europe into Canada. US military couldn’t POSSIBLY begin to control all of Canada or even the Canada USA border. As above American people and congress are not going to support killing hundreds of thousands of Canadians knowing Canada has done nothing to them just for the vanity of a one-term president who is the most unpopular and controversial in US history. And yes, those wars were abysmal. You’ll recall the Bush administration said the Iraq war would be a matter of a few weeks or months with virtually zero casualties, that American troops would be greeted as liberators. Killing civilians by the hundreds of thousands over the span of more than decade was not part of the plan and it took a HUGE portion of their military. They had up to 170,000 troops in Iraq. That war cost USA nearly A TRILLION DOLLARS 2003-2011. You can’t seriously think Trump can just decree that action and it will just be no problem. Dont forget even the MAGA movement claims to believe that MAGA is against foreign “forever wars” like Iraq and Afghanistan. No that’s never how it works. Once the occupier start killing innocent civilians in large numbers more people start JOINING the insurgents, not turning them in. If only 1% of the population turned up, that would be a larger insurgent force than what usa faced in Iraq or Afghanistan. Insurgency makes having “every kind of weapon” less relevant. They don’t have the force size to do that. Again it took 170,000 US troops to struggle to occupy Iraq for over a decade….Canada is 23x the size of Iraq. The border is nearly 9,000 km long. Even if they installed a Conservative Collaborator puppet regime to police Canadians there’s just too much territory to cover. And yet in the end who ended up running Afghanistan? Well they have not done it SUCCESSFULLY even once. And they have only done it against foreign dictatorships on the other side of the world that most Americans know nothing about. They’ve never done it against the friendly democratic country right next to them that is virtually culturally identical to Americans, a country that the majority of Americans have positive impression of, and that hasn’t done anything wrong. “We need to take their minerals” is not going to be acceptable to most Americans. Yes I think they’ll do more than just peacefully protest. But a lot of them are in Europe and Asia and USA will still need to keep defence posture in those other global regions, they can’t bring their entire military to Canada. Insurgents don’t defeat their enemy on the battlefield, they just bleed them of money and domestic political support And a war with no reason, justification or congressional approval against the friendliest of USA allies and neighbours, that American businesses rely on for billions of annual trade and investment, it ain’t happening to begin with But it’s certainly not one that could last with that kind of massive opposition.

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

Good evening. On Friday, the Department of Justice served the Federal Reserve with grand jury subpoenas, threatening a criminal indictment related to my testimony before the Senate Banking Committee last June. That testimony concerned in part a multi-year project to renovate historic Federal Reserve office buildings. I have deep respect for the rule of law and for accountability in our democracy. No one—certainly not the chair of the Federal Reserve—is above the law. But this unprecedented action should be seen in the broader context of the administration's threats and ongoing pressure. This new threat is not about my testimony last June or about the renovation of the Federal Reserve buildings. It is not about Congress's oversight role; the Fed through testimony and other public disclosures made every effort to keep Congress informed about the renovation project. Those are pretexts. The threat of criminal charges is a consequence of the Federal Reserve setting interest rates based on our best assessment of what will serve the public, rather than following the preferences of the President. This is about whether the Fed will be able to continue to set interest rates based on evidence and economic conditions—or whether instead monetary policy will be directed by political pressure or intimidation. I have served at the Federal Reserve under four administrations, Republicans and Democrats alike. In every case, I have carried out my duties without political fear or favor, focused solely on our mandate of price stability and maximum employment. Public service sometimes requires standing firm in the face of threats. I will continue to do the job the Senate confirmed me to do, with integrity and a commitment to serving the American people. Thank you. https://www.federalreserve.gov/newsevents/speech/powell20260111a.htm

Has it? He’s actively planning to annex Greenland and released a manifesto that call for end of the EU and actively undermining European governments they don’t agree with. Paying the bully to leave you alone doesn’t work, it only prolongs the inevitable and makes the bully stronger in the meantime History is full of such examples How so? Trump saying it’s so doesn’t make it so. He is not omnipotent. American resources are finite and his already dismal political support is already declining by the day, as is the US economy and US society as a whole. He is the least popular president in recent US history and even Republicans are starting to turn on him. He’s a one term president who has only been in office for a year and hasn’t even faced his first midterm election yet, where Republicans are widely expected to get their butts whipped thanks to Trump Trump and his cronies has made it clear he doesn’t want a deal and doesn’t feel bound to honour them anyway. What he wants is for us to do whatever he says and hand over anything he demands. That’s ridiculous. Trump and his cronies with their crypto scam, their family bribe club, are undoubtedly lousy with money laundering and organized crime. Several of the cronies from his last administration were literally convicted of laundering money from Russian oligarchs. It’s also ridiculous to suggest that soemhow Carney turns a blind eye to it. Money laundering is heavily concentrated in crypto and gambling, 2 industries conservatives love, promote and protect. A boatload of ridiculous nonsense. We never admitted “unscreened” people and Trudeau’s immigration policies have already been reversed. The Canadian population actively SHRANK as a result. And your anti-Muslim BS is also nonsense as usual. They don’t all vote liberal (it takes years for immigrants to become citizens BTW). As you’ll recall the Ontario conservatives captured a lot of Muslims voters with their anti-gay anti- sex ed hysteria they ginned up specifically targeting the Muslim community. David Frum had an interesting take on this. He said the reason that Trump is so dangerous is precisely because he is not rational or reasonable and doesn’t care about facts or the consequences of his actions. Most of what Trump is doing is harmful to Americans including his voting base. A “smarter” Republican would at least be constrained by the limits of fact and logic and rational behaviour. Remember, the world is not suffering the will of the American people, its not even suffering the will of the Republican party. All this shit with the trade war and annexing Greenland, this all from the brain of Trump amd the fringe whackjobs he surrounded himself with. If Trump keeled over tomorrow, most of this goes away. We shall see. Every country is in the realpolitik game now and both those countries are searching for their own piece of the pie.

Look at the Americans” abysmal record in Iraq and Afghanistan. They are abysmal at counterinsurgency and occupation. Plus keep in mind: The Canadian insurgents would be able to range across all of Canada and USA, which is 50x the size of Iraq Due to widespread Canadian insurgent activity on US soil, The US would have to subject its own citizens to martial law, which would spark a massive backlash from Americans.

I was in motion AWAY from the agent and not still in contact with him. The shots 2 and 3 were from the side and rear.
