He’s only saying that now, after things started going to shit. He was elected on a promise that things would immediately improve, not get worse. They were already improving under Biden and Trump’s reversed that. Secondly there’s zero evidence anything he’s done will help anything improve, All the evidence suggests his tariffs and protectionism will just make things worse. But hey, the “dictator on day one” is going to spend tens of millions to throw himself the most expensive military parade in history for his birthday, while millions of Americans are suffering from his cuts, that’s something!

Really bad people who were accomplices before one of them whacked the other Lol nope!! You don’t pay attention, do you?

Do you give Stalin Credit for taking out Trotsky (you probably don’t know who that is but just go along with it). One extremist nutjob having baby mama drama with his co-conspirator doesn’t warrant any “credit.” Especially given the fact that Trump and his regime are still absolutely rife with incompetence, mismanagement, influence peddling and cronyism to the core. Oh suddenly that’s relevant again? When we pointed that out long ago the MAGAs deemed it irrelevant. Trump and Musk are 2 peas in a pod. Both have personalities and perception of reality twisted by their extreme wealth and the bubble of sycophants they’ve surround themselves with. Musk just came to it later as he wasn’t born wealthy.

Elon probably got pissed when the Qataris gifted Trump that half billion luxury plane. “Hey that’s my b1tch, I bought him first! Quit cutting my grass!” And Trumps new sugar daddies were like “ A salam alaikum we make all our money off of oil enough with this electric car shit, may allah burn it in the fires of hell!”

LMAO highly unlikely with those 2 megalomaniacs. That’s not to say they won’t have some future business arrangement. Musk is still the richest man in the world and Trump is still the most transactional nihilist in the world and both are completely erratic in their whims and beliefs so who knows ? A Trump third term dictatorship could still be bankrolled by musk even as the men continue to despise each other personally l. At least Trump wont be selling Teslas on the WH lawn again. Not unless Elon sweetens his sales commission

I’m looking forward to people arguing about what your post means. Because it’s pretty hard to understand.

Scott Falloway sums it up nicely

Of course this was inevitable, 2 completely unhinged billionaire narcissists each attacking the other from social media platforms that they own. I said it before I will say it again extremists always turn on each other in the end. Oh yeah there’s also this:

Sorry not correct. First I don’t know where you get your numbers the minimum income to be part of the 1% is $579k and secondly it’s gone up from $80k in 1982 and $283k in 2010.

Yes LOL that’s what your whole right wing populist movement has finally come to accept although the left has been saying it for 40 years. Why do you think the right all screaming about Davos WEF elite? Do you not remember the Occupy Wall Street movement from the last decade? Yep. And while I know you’re just pulling the “tons of exceptions” claim out your ass, do you honestly not think there are tons of exceptions and exemptions now that didn’t even exist a few decades ago? Have you not heard of the Panama papers and the Paradise Papers? Were you unaware that the wealthiest American corporations pay virtually no tax thanks to countless loopholes and exclusions? Were you sleeping all those times when Warren Buffet famously talked about how he has a lower tax rate than his personal assistant? Have you not heard of the Panama Papers? Did you and I not have an argument over the 50% capital gains tax exclusion rate, which was a tax break only invented by Paul Martin in the 1990s? It is not a lie and once again you’re outnof your depth. Like seriously the issue of income inequality has been talked about so much, especially after the economic meltdown of 2008 its shocking to me that you know nothing about it. 1) the top 20% is not “the rich”. You only need TOTAL HOUSEHOLD income of ~136k to be in this group. I am in this group and buddy I ain’t “rich”. 2)The rich are the top 1% and even the top 0.1%. The top one percent now own a third of rhe country’s wealth, compared to just 13% in 1999 3) Since 1979, the top 1% has seen their income grow by ~150% whole the top 0.1% grew by up to 300% relative to inflation. Meanwhile the bottom 50% had flat income over these decades These statistics and more have been topics of public debate for a long time, rhis is nothing new No she’s not. Nobody has said that you’re inventing that claim so you can argue against a straw man. If the “working wealthy” class is shrinking its because it’s become harder for working people to become wealthy in the first place. The mega rich don’t work for a salary, they own businesses and enterprises and get paid in dividends, shares, capital gains, etc hoard their money in offshore accounts.

The middle class has been getting wiped out for 40 years and it’s a fact that the rich have only gotten richer during that time. Nope. The top marginal income tax rate was more than 90% after ww2 In the 1970s it was still over 60% and that’s just federal tax alone. Well the last 4-5 years is covid and post-covid inflation so pretty exceptional. Again that has been a multi-decade trend unde both Liberals and Conservatives that actually accelerated after NAFTA and increased US economic integration. The “branch-plantification” of the Canadian economy as our businesses were bought by US and foreign investors or captured by a US “customer monopoly” (monopsony). Stupid industrial policy that gave away priceless Canadian IP for increasingly shitty and short-lived ”factory jobs” at a foreign owned company. We’re strutting our stuff over making pennies while everywhere else they’re locking up billions at our expense through patents, royalties and terms of use that pay them in perpetuity You’re losing focus on rhe original comment which is about taxing the rich. It’s not a lie that the rich have gotten insanely richer even as those other problems have plagued the economy for the past several decades. In fact in can be argued that precisely BECAUSE they have become so wealthy so powerful and have come to own and control so much of the economy that it is operating so inefficiently. Economies work better when it is the result of a large number of diverse and competing players, rather than the just 5 guys who own everything and have more money than god and are just playing around with it out of boredom.

General Dynamics Land Systems–Canada Unveils LAV 6.0 MkII at CANSEC 2025 In a significant milestone for Canadian defense modernization, General Dynamics Land Systems–Canada (GDLS-C) has unveiled its most advanced Light Armored Vehicle (LAV) platform to date during the CANSEC 2025 defense exhibition. The new LAV 6.0 MkII variant, along the new LAV 6.0 Air Defence represents a quantum leap in land combat capabilities for the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF). …One of the most striking advancements of the LAV 6.0 MkII lies in its armament suite. At the heart of the vehicle is a stabilized 30mm automatic cannon capable of engaging enemy personnel, light armor, and defensive positions with precision while on the move. Supporting this primary weapon is a coaxial 7.62mm machine gun designed for close-in threat engagement. Mounted atop the turret is a dual-launch system for anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs), enabling the LAV 6.0 MkII to neutralize heavily armored targets at extended ranges. However, the true game-changer is the integration of loitering munitions into the vehicle’s mission systems. These aerial systems provide real-time reconnaissance and allow for precision strikes on high-value or time-sensitive targets beyond the line of sight. By incorporating this capability, the LAV 6.0 MkII extends its tactical reach and grants infantry commanders the ability to deliver decisive effects without exposing troops to direct combat….

Except for the facts that the rich have never been richer or owned so much of the economy’s wealth as they do today, and have never had lower tax rates than they do today.

Yeah with all tje signaling about ReArm Europe I would be somewhat surprised if they went to SK. Although Ive read many positive things about the latest SK vehicles and tech. I’ve recently read other articles that SK is aggressively marketing its submarines in Canada also. I think the biggest selling point is they not only have high quality but they seem to have very quick production and delivery timelines, which may be especially attractive if ReArm Europe is going to mean long wait times for anything coming out of Europe due to sudden overwhelming demand. And SK maybe also has more attractive pricing. Also while we’re trying to double down on Europe, we’re also trying to grow trading relations in Asia and anywhere that’s not USA so maybe some SK military procurement will help sweeten those dealings.

Canadian Army looks to spend more than $6 billion on new howitzers and rockets Hanwha, a South Korean firm, is chasing both contracts. The Indirect Fires Modernization program, expected to cost more than $5 billion, will see the acquisition of self-propelled 155-mm artillery, ammunition as well as new mortar systems, according to a Canadian Army briefing for industry presented April 8 in Ottawa. In addition, Polish soldiers are currently undergoing training on the Chunmoo high mobility rocket systems which were purchased to counter Russian aggression. The focus for Hanwha is not only on partnering with Canadian firms but delivering high technology quickly, Michael Coulter, CEO of Hanwha Global Defence, said in an interview Tuesday. Technology transfer allows Canada to make sure it has sovereign control over its military equipment, a particular area of concern for a number of nations considering some of the issues that have emerged with U.S. equipment. “We can deliver very quickly on time to make a difference for the military and the politicians for sovereign capabilities,” Coulter said. The K9 self-propelled howitzers and the accompanying K10 ammunition resupply vehicles can be delivered in 12 months once a contract is signed. Chunmoo systems would arrive within 24 months. In addition, the systems are interoperable with U.S. equipment. Coulter noted the U.S. military has expressed an interest in seeing the K9 tested for its forces. Story continues below Coulter said Hanwha already has 10 agreements in place to work with Canadian companies and more such arrangements are expected to be announced at the CANSEC military trade showwhich takes place in Ottawa on May 28 and 29. The Liberal government has also stated it will purchase up to 12 new submarines for the Royal Canadian Navy. Hanwha is offering its KSS-III submarine for that program. If the contract was signed in 2026 the first submarine could be delivered by 2032, according to company officials. The South Korean submarines, three of which are already built, can operate underwater for more than three weeks, without having to surface. In addition, the boats have a range of more than 7,000 nautical miles. Both capabilities would make them valuable for Arctic operations, company officials say. Maintenance facilities would be established in Canada, and unlike with U.S. weapon systems, the South Koreans would provide Canada with total access to the onboard technology. South Korea developed its own robust defence industry after being hit by rising prices and unreasonable demands linked to U.S.-produced equipment. https://ottawacitizen.com/public-service/defence-watch/canadian-army-new-howitzers-rockets

Never happened LMAO you are so out of touch. It is an objective fact of history that congress received forged electoral certificates for several states indicting a Trump rather than Biden win and that these certificates were created by Republican operatives in those states not the state officials responsible for certifying their election count Absolutely happened. Again this is an objective fact of history, such as his infamous call to Georgian official Raffensburger. “ All I need is 11,780 votes, just say you found 11,780 votes” and suggesting anyone who doesn’t is going to be prosecuted for election fraud. The sham lawsuits clearly had absolutely no merit in fact or legal argument, did not meet even the basic legal standard for bringing forward to a court of law and several lawyers involved were eventually sanctioned for misconduct as a result, some losing their license. 1) Democts did nothing of the sort in 2016 2) the constitution requires that congress certify the election on January 6, period. There is no provision under the constitution to do it on any other date. By attempting to prevent certification on Jan 6, an unprecedented constitutional crisis with no clear resolution would have occurred if Republicans had been successful in preventing certification on Jan 6, which was their goal in order to proclaim the Biden win null and void and that Trump must remain office indefinitely until some sort of resolution could be found. There’s a reason the rally was held on Jan 6 near the Capitol and not some other date or other location, that’s not coincidence In fact rhetoric from Trump and the other supporters during and in the leaduup to the rally was notably violent ; ”you got to go to the streets and be as violent as Antifa.”” “we’re coming for you and we’re going to have a good time doing it!” “let’s have trial by combat.” “We fight like Hell and if you don’t fight like Hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore.” Prior to Jan 6 Trump refused multiple recommendations from his own staff to use the word “peaceful” in any of his tweets and statements about the upcoming rally as staff were concerned that it could become violent Trump said the word “peacefully” ONCE in his speech which was written by his writers But the speech said the word “fight” more than 20 times and he ad-libbed it in his remarks 18 more times Even after Trump learned that hos minions had breached the Capitol rather than de-escalate he continued to tweet incendiary comments about how their country had been stolen and how Mile Pence had betrayed them and America Even if we give Trump credit he doesn’t deserve and assume that he didn’t intend for a mob of his brainwashed zealots to attack the Capitol, it was definitely foreseeable and a massive act of negligence and incompetence on his part Heres a little thought exercise you can do in the future: rather than pretend every egregious thing Trump does is totally normal and a nothingburger, try to imagine how you would react if Hillary, Obama or Biden had doe it instead. I highly doubt that if it was Biden and his supporters who had been committing those acts you would be ok with it.

LMAO WTF are you talking about! Can you point me to where JFK - forged fraudulent electoral certificates? - called state election officials and pressured them to falsify their vote counts? - filed dozens of ridiculously baseless sham lawsuits simply to delay and delegitimize the election? - pressured the vice president and members of congress to refuse to certify the election results and thereby trigger a constitutional crisis? - raised a mob of supporters to attack the Capitol on certification day in order to prevent certification and trigger a constitutional crisis?

Hilary conceded on the night of the election, unlike Trump. Trump attempted a number of fraudulent schemes to change the result of the election, unlike Hillary.

You deny the results when your side doesn’t win.

No, you don’t know where the facts end and Republican innuendo and baseless allegations begin. I’ll say it again there’s NO EVIDENCE that Hillary personally interfered to hold up the deal or otherwise inappropriately interfered. None. There is no evidence that any of the deals were even mysteriously delayed or otherwise held up prior to a donation. None. Look these countries: Saudi Arabia and the Gulf States have been reliant on US military equipment and have been a vital US interest for DECADES. These arms deals are part of the US long term global strategy that spans multiple presidents and governments going back to the 1950s. They don’t just happen or not happen randomly on the whim of a single public servant who wants to take a little bribe Also Hillary’s State department is just one of many departments that major arms deals have to go through, it’s not like it’s her personal pet project. Sorry the claim is bullshit it come from a Republican propagandist’s book and he doesn’t offer any evidence because the book is written just to preach to the converted. Also I love how when it’s a democrat being accused you suddenly claim that flimsy circumstantial evidence and unsubstantiated rumours are compelling evidence. And yet when Republicans are accused of wrongdoing suddenly your standard of evidence so high as to become impossible. And as I already said donations to someone’s charity doesn’t benefit them directly so even if these baseless accusations were true it wouldn’t at all be the same as Trump’s rackets that pay him directly Trump is selling private audience with the president for personal profit to FOREIGNERS . He’s accepting extravagant gifts from foreign governments. Remember you insisted that Trudeau’s ONE plane ride in a lifelong family friend’s plane was bribery so how can you say gifting Trump a half billion dollar “palace in the sky” isn’t? YOU ARE THE HYPOCRITE Lastly you claim that it’s ok for Trump to accept bribes as long as he doesn’t actually give anything in return is ridiculous. It’s called conflict of interest Trump has launched policies related to crypto including creating a federal crypto reserve and of course he and the US government and his private business have all sorts of ongoing dealings with the Qataris And unlike tour claims about Hillary Trump is not one of a dozen people involved in these deals he is running the show. Lmao you wouldn’t know reality if it bit you on the ass, election denier. EDIT: it’s also hilarious that you try to suggest that inappropriate dealings with the Saudis originated under Obama when the Bush family (father and son) was LOUSY with Saudi money for years….again this was highlighted in Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 9/11:

Sorry thats just another unproven Republican allegation bases on zero evidence m, which I think even you have embellished further. There’s no evidence that Hillary first “refused” or was directly involved in any way. The only ACTUAL facts are that 1) countries who have been purchasing weapons from the USA LONG BEFORE Obama and Hillary continued to do so during their time and 2) they also made donations to the Clinton foundation. As for Biden, again more unproven claims we don’t need to go down that road again Second of all, making a charitable donation to registered charity that is open to public scrutiny where there’s no clear direct benefit to the Clintons is definitely different than openly and brazenly giving cash directly to Trump through these crypto and private club schemes and clearly and openly getting special access to POTUS as a reward. Unlike your claims about Clinton and Biden it’s not an unproven rumour that that Trump is doing it, he’s doing it in the open for everyone to see

No they didn’t. Rewarding political donors, which is bad enough, is completely different. This is just selling access for his own private profit not a donation to his campaign…buying Trump crypto isn’t a legit political donation

Yes the Nazis were well known for demonizing whites and browning their country textbook fascism 🙄 Nobody is demonizing whites you clueless twat Oh no brown people!” You’re such a racist 1diot

The shameless private sale of access to president continues unabated Now with more foreigners! Orgy of corruption indeed Top $TRUMP holders head to crypto dinner with president that Democrats call ‘orgy of corruption’ KEY POINTS The $TRUMP token contest drew $148 million in global purchases, with top-ranked wallets gaining direct access to the president. Most top wallets appear to be linked to offshore exchanges, and blockchain data suggests many high-value holders are likely not U.S. citizens. ….The $TRUMP coin, which has no attached asset or underlying value, was launched just ahead of the president’s inauguration in January and has drawn heavy scrutiny from Democratic lawmakers who say Trump is profiting from his position of power. The dinner was announced in April and promised to reward the top 220 token owners with “the most exclusive invitation in the world.” The top 25 finishers were also told they would get a private reception with the president, as well as a “special VIP tour.” The coin jumped 50% after the dinner announcement. What do you mean no attached asset? The corrupt president is the attached asset.
