Imagine if the next wannabe dictator is a democrat and wants to kick Maga asses out of the country 😂 👉

I've always said Biden was a weak president, but he had something Trump never will....morals and decency. The 90 percentile is the world....he's universally despised (for good reason). He also has a record low approval rating of 40% ish... I'm surprised it's that high but then again, minions everywhere these days....

Absolutely illegals should have the same rights, and none more so than the cherished second amendment. I'm mean what could go wrong if illegals carried the same type guns as everyone else when out for dinner or a shopping trip with the family.... Supreme Court takes case that could allow more guns in malls and restaurants The Supreme Court agreed Friday to decide if states may bar people from carrying guns on private property without permission from the property owner, wading into a thorny Second Amendment dispute that could expand carry rights in malls, restaurants and stores.

Surprisingly you contradict yourself in the first sentence. Shouldn't due process happen BEFORE being removed? Deluginal...

I've spent a good part of both my personal and professional life in the US with friends throughout so yes, I do follow the happenings of the US which is essentially unavoidable for anyone who follows news. And yes, a lot of disdain for the morally inept narcissist. So what, I'm in the 90 percentile of people there. What are you talking about excusing anyone for US soldiers killed, Christians and whatever else you're off on a tangent about. It's a broken country right now that is nowhere near the one that most people admired in the days of morally decent people leading it. I belong to no cult. Been around long enough to know that common decency, kindness and some level of moral standards are generally what the vast majority of people want in society and their lives. Why you and your cult thrive on hate and anger is beyond me, but am confident that at some point it's all going to come crashing down in epic fashion for the minions who have sold their morals for a lying, grifting POS. There are no consequences I'm living through. The only impact he has on my life is my portfolio which I'm not at all concerned with. It doesn't matter what the POS does because I'll be golfing my usual 3 - 4 times p/week and doing what I want to do when I want to do it. He and folks like you are nothing more than head scratching entertainment most of the time. Sometimes perplexing to believe anyone can be that stùpid and people that naive, but ultimately comical and good for a laugh more often than not.

What do you not understanding about me being Canadian and not having to 'live with the consequences' of being a US democrat? You really need to rethink your bias... To think in any way that Biden was 'more dictatorial' than Trump is comical. I don't recall Biden leveraging tariffs as a threat to some businesses investments in the country, or telling the military to go to only democratic cities as a show of force, or threatening to layoff public sector workers in only democratic states. That's only today... Your cult hero is a monumentally inept individual...intellectually and morally.

The labour needs of individual provinces and business in those economies will dictate how many immigrants are accepted. You or I have no idea because we typically look at our own little worlds. Those immigrants leave those 'shitholes' for a better life here in Canada and elsewhere. Not every one is a 'goat herder' with many bringing needed skills to our workforce.

Democrat or republican approval is not important to me. I'm a Canadian watching a highly inept narcissist perpetuate divisiveness daily as a means toward his ultimate goal of becoming a dictator. I've said it many times.... I don't hate the guy, I just have a very strong dislike for him and everything he is and represents.

Okay my bad... we agree we need immigration, just less of it right now. I agree with that if the provinces (teachers, healthcare) and business (agriculture, retail, transportation, etc, etc,) does. The solution is to grow our economy so that those unemployed younger workers have more opportunity. That's why Carney was elected.

I thought he got elected mostly because of inflation and immigration? No reaping. It's well past time we took the world more seriously and accordingly our military.

It's two opinions that are contrary to the obvious reality of how our country was built or the opinions of those involved...provinces and business. I don't disagree that the number of immigrants we accept has to be looked at. I've said that. Not sure I'm following you on the current retirement system being a problem...? Again, I'm no economist or social scientist but would have to think they consider retirement ages, along with how long we're living, what professions or positions in given sectors are scarce in talent or labour, etc... Not sure about ~44% growth over the next 25 years...

No need to explain what's going on, I get it. The solution though isn't to shrink our population and by extension, our economy. The solution is to get at the root issues of the problems we have with housing, healthcare, infrastructure, etc and improve them....which is why Carney was elected. Like it or not Immigration is needed to sustain our economy. The levels set I'm sure will be debated but it's not stopping.

Putin and his buddies Modi and Xi are laughing at him. We saved that NATO expense for a lot of years while you paid. Sucker... We'll start paying now though.

Immigration is a ponzi scheme? I'll assume these same two economists are either using some sort of twisted economic equations, looking for notoriety, or are just incompetent. We're an aging population that is exiting the workforce in larger numbers and we're having less child births than is what considered the median replacement fertility rate. In what world of economics would that suggest we will not have lesser people in the workplace and economy? I'm not an economist though but easy to find the large majority agree that it's needed to support our population, fill needed skilled and non-skilled labor positions, and contribute to growing the economy. We don't need to see our population and economy decline. We need to get to the root of our issues and find solutions to improve them.

I have nothing to wallow about with this... You're getting your ask kicked. Take your lumps and bow out at the risk of further embarrassment.

So what you're saying is that he'd rather hurt the US's oil industry rather than imposing tariffs on Russia. That makes sense and is very Trump-like, but guessing it has to do with the fact US imports from Russia have increased in uranium, palladium and fertilizer. Drill baby drill....or not.

The little orange engine that thinks he can...

No, you're being slapped around pretty good... Got my popcorn and watching 😂

You're getting schooled. Give it up already....

He's done jackshit... Help solve the Ukraine and Gaza invasions and maybe he'll get some praise.

I'll show you anyway... I found some of the comments telling. Shale oil execs say Trump policies are hurting investment, ‘business is broken’ Spencer Kimball@SPENCEKIMBALL SHAREShare Article via FacebookShare Article via TwitterShare Article via LinkedInShare Article via Email KEY POINTS President Donald Trump’s push for lower oil prices, higher tariffs and the resulting policy uncertainty are hurting investment, shale executives said. Nearly 80% of oil companies surveyed by the Dallas Fed have delayed investment due to questions about the future price of oil and the cost of producing it. Shale oil executives say President Donald Trump is hurting investment in the oil patch, and are giving a grim outlook for the future of the industry that turned the U.S. into the largest crude producer in the world. The executives’ anonymous comments were published in a quarterly survey of oil and gas companies by the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas this week. The 139 companies that responded operate predominantly in Texas as well as northern Louisiana and southern New Mexico. Trump has championed fossil fuels while attacking the renewable energy industry since taking office in January. His One Big Beautiful Bill Act, passed by Congress in July, delivered virtually everything the oil lobby wanted. But Trump’s push for lower crude prices, higher tariffs, and the resulting uncertainty caused by his “stroke of pen” policies are hurting investment, executives at independent oil and gas producers told the Dallas Fed. Nearly 80% of executives who participated in the survey said they have delayed investment decisions in response to heightened uncertainty about the future price of oil and the cost of producing crude. “We have begun the twilight of shale,” one executive said, pointing to layoffs by the thousands and industry consolidation under big companies like Exxon Mobil. “The writing is on the wall,” the unnamed manager said. ‘Drilling is going to disappear’ Another executive warned that “drilling is going to disappear” as Trump pushes for $40 per barrel crude oil at the same time his steel tariffs are raising costs. U.S. crude oil prices are currently trading around $65 per barrel, just above the level producers need to drill profitably. The shale industry has been “gutted” over the course of the Biden and Trump administrations, another executive said. Political hostility from Biden chased away capital from the industry, the person said. Economic ignorance from Trump is “finishing the job,” they said. “The U.S. shale business is broken,” the executive said. The Trump administration has effectively aligned itself with the decision by OPEC+ to increase oil supply, “kneecapping U.S. producers in the process,” the person said. “Guided by a U.S. Department of Energy that tells them what they want to hear instead of hard facts, they operate with little understanding of shale economics,” the same executive said. Regulatory costs A White House spokesperson said Trump is “rolling back burdensome regulations that were killing the industry,” crediting the president’s policies with record production in June. Energy Secretary Chris Wright has repeatedly argued that the administration is making drilling cheaper by cuting red tape. But 57% of executives surveyed by the Dallas Fed said regulatory changes since January have reduced their breakeven costs by less than $1 per barrel. Another executive warned that Trump’s attacks on the renewable energy industry will come back to haunt the oil and gas sector in a few years. Investors are avoiding energy due to volatility and the “stroke of pen” risk that the White House wields over energy projects, the person said. “Life is long, and the sword being wielded against the renewables industry right now will likely boomerang back in 3.5 years against traditional energy,” they said, warning the industry will face harsher methane penalties, permitting restrictions and environmental reviews when Democrats return to power.

Honestly, I couldn't care less about US isolationism but no, these are facts. Your red hat is on too tight.... Let me know if you want to see energy executives comments of the 'drill baby drill' garbage you bought into.... US announced job cuts decline 37% in September, YTD total higher than all of 2024 Oct. 02, 2025 6:45 AM ETBy: Gaurav Batavia, SA News Editor 5 Share Save Play(3min) Comments (13) U.S.-based employers announced 54,064 job cuts in September, down 37% from August and 26% lower from the 72,821 announced in the same month last year, Challenger, Gray & Christmas said on Thursday. So far in 2025, companies have announced 946,426 job cuts, the highest year-to-date total since 2020, when the pandemic led to 2.08M announced job cuts as entire industry sectors, such as leisure and hospitality, ground nearly to a halt. The 2025 year-to-date total is the fifth highest in the 36 years Challenger has reported. The YTD total climbed 55% from the same period last year, and has already exceeded full-year 2024’s total by 24%. “It’s very likely job cut plans are going to surpass a million for the first time since 2020 and for the ninth time in our series. Right now, we’re dealing with a stagnating labor market, cost increases, and a transformative new technology. With rate cuts on the way, we may see some stabilizing in the job market in the fourth quarter, but other factors could keep employers planning layoffs or holding off hiring,” said Andrew Challenger, senior vice president at Challenger, Gray & Christmas. Among industry sectors, services announced the most job cuts in September at 6,290, surging from 1,862 in August and 2,996 in September 2024. Year-to-date, the industry announced 61,590 job cuts, up 64% from the same period a year ago. The energy industry announced 5,807 job cuts, bringing the year-to-date total to 14,811. On the hiring side, employers plan to add 204,939 jobs so far this year, down 58% from the same period in 2024. Most of the decline can be attributed to a low number of seasonal hiring announcements. Last month, Challenger tracked 100,800 seasonal hiring plans, down from 401,850 announced by the beginning of October 2024.

Take off your funny looking Maga hat and let me know what do you disagree with....

Fairly accurate... Not disagreeing you, just whomever wrote their opinions. It's simple mathematical economics, we need immigration to support our economy. I'm not at all disagreeing that we let too many immigrants in over the last few years, but that doesn't change the facts that they are needed for the economy. How many we accept going forward is another story all together.

China isn't going anywhere, and will pass the US as the world's largest economy within the next decade. Probably sooner once the realignment of trade partnerships rom what were once strong allies takes shape. Your guy has enough troubles right now with his so-called economic policies. 'Drill baby drill' has been an epic failure and nothing more than a slogan to get you excited. Tariffs that continue to impact costs and a stagnant labor market says stagflation is a real concern. By the end of next month you're going to have lost ~1M jobs in the economy this year which is the highest since 2020 and covid, while hiring is down 58% YOY. That's winning...
