I have mixed feelings on whether the Trump administration should respond to Democrats for the lengthy lawfare campaign they waged against him. Two wrongs don't make a right. But on the other hand, it's almost a certainty that the Democrats will continue to wage war against Trump by any means necessary when they get the opportunity. When it comes to dirty tactics, it's the knife to a gunfight when it comes to Republicans vs Democrats.

When we talk about governments spending borrowed money, it's not really a cut if they decide to reduce that allocated budget. If they were initially planning to borrow 2 billion, then later decide to borrow only 1.5 billion, it's debatable whether it's really a cut as opposed to a spending reduction. They are still overspending at the end of the day.

The federal government will spend $46.5 billion on debt servicing charges in 2023/24, which is nearly what the government expects to spend on the Canada Health Transfer ($49.4 billion), and significantly more than it expects to spend on childcare benefits. https://www.fraserinstitute.org/sites/default/files/federal-and-provincial-debt-interest-costs-for-canadians-2024.pdf Other countries might have higher debt, but that is still no reason for Canada to continuously overspend.

House Ethics Report on Matt Gaetz

A successful smear campaign? You're basically saying that unproven or even baseless allegations are a fait tactic to deny someone a position. The end justifies the means? -

I guess you didn't get my main point. Why did the DOJ not charge him if there is all this supposed evidence? -

Hunter Biden-'Smartest person I know" and with 24/7 access to the president. The claim that Hunter is just an average, ordinary citizen is laughable. The Democrat controlled DOJ did not end up charging Gaetz after the investigation. Doesn't that seem odd IF all those allegations were true? -

But the DOJ didn't charge him. And if all of these allegations were true, wouldn't that mean that Gaetz is a Republican version of Hunter Biden? The same Hunter Biden that was portrayed as a poor victim by the media? -
My point was that politicians and media pundits should not be calling half of Americans stupid for not supporting the Democrats. It's the same tactic you constantly use in this forum, hurling personal insults while you appear to be enraged because we disagree with you. "FOS LIES! DUH!" response over and over again.😒 It's a big reason why nobody takes you seriously in here.

Dad Arrested for Killing Daughter's Rapist

There are a lot of people that refused to give a certain Donald Trump the presumption of innocence when Democrat prosecutors starting piling charges on him. -
It's a leftist's dream to ban all political opposition instead of letting voters decide.

What is happening in Washington?

I think the Biden's dislike for Harris is too strong and they would be unlikely to give her a gift like that.
