The Slow Painful Death of the Trump Administration


Recommended Posts

Thing about NAFTA, that was the final nail in the coffin of Confederation, wherein the last purpose of it, east west trade, was never going to happen.

Keep the French in?  Only by bribery which corrupts the state like a cancer.

Keep the Americans out?  Couldn't beat so joined them.

Keep the Indians down?  The last vestigial tail of British Imperialism, in North America, not worth saving a tyranny.

Even given that, Mulroney and Chretien played the cards they were dealt much better than JT and the Sunshine Band.  

The Orange Man wrecking ball is not going away anytime soon.

Six more years, baby! Let the Liberal tears flow, muahaha.

Secret President of Canada FTW.

They tried....an example being the rape of New Brunswick's healthy north south trade with New England.   Oh no...can't have that...Ontario and Quebec wanted to stop it.

Trump educated Americans about just how many barriers and friction exists between the provinces....who knew that Canucks fight so much with each other on trade while also having time to worry about what those damn Americans are doing.    Maybe it's the long winters ?

It's the nanny socialist welfare gulag, competition and market forces is alien to the people here, except for the business class, but they don't care about Confederation, they're UKUSSAN's like me.  That's how I learned to be one, by watching what the rich do, and then following them down the rabbit hole. . .

Gotcha, but all that nonsense was true long before Trump decided to have some fun and win the U.S. presidency.    They can try to blame Trump, but it won't do any good.

Basically sell your property in Toronto now, then decamp to the Information Age with the profits, detach yourselves from the nanny state,  before the whole rotten edifice starts to crumble, initiating a debt bomb critical mass.

 

 

Like in the 1990's....Canadian peso time ?     Blame Trump !

Oh but it will do some good, them blaming Trump for all of the problems that plague humanity, is counter-productive and drives people away from the Democrats, because they cry wolf on Trump so damn often. It doesn't do their causes any good, that is true, but it sure helps far more important causes that they are opposed to and that I happen to support, so I say, keep it up haters, you're a bigger help to Trump than his actual supporters.

That's the same problem they had with Bush #43...how could such an "idiot" mastermind 9/11?    If Trump is such an idiot, how did he manage to break every rule in politics and still win the presidency.   The Democrats cannot win at the chaos game that Trump makes them play.

Just don't brame me, roundeyes, I'm not the one who killed Confederation, I just noticed a smell coming off of it, and when i looked closer, it was already dead.

 

Wait a sec...the Quebec separation referendum was only 23 years ago....then the Clarity Act followed.    Basically creating a polite way to leave confederation.   All this happened long before Trump.

Certainly not from their concentrated cantonments which do not move the electoral college they can't, RBG is next, total SCOTUS War domination.

It was aborted right after lift off, clipped the Somme on the way to stable orbit, crashed and burned as a wreckage on America's door step, and America basically reanimated it, mostly for the liquor during prohibition.

Indeed...the "slow painful death of the Trump administration" probably means yet another Supreme Court justice nomination, which only involves the GOP controlled Senate.

The Democrats have no bench and they have no strategy to run against Trump other than "Obstruct Trump". As long as that remains the case, and I don't see signs of either variable changing before 2020, the Democrats are screwed.

The Democrats went all in on trying to stop Justice Kavanaugh back in October....epic FAIL.

Cost them seats in the Senate.

Now Trump has them in a federal budget headlock .....and he likes it !

He likes destabilizing the US Economy. Good President!

During the longest government shutdown in US history, President Donald Trump has been losing support among those who may be his strongest supporters -- white Americans who don't have college degrees.

Among this group, only 45% said they approved of the job Trump is doing as President, according to a recent CNN poll conducted by SSRS. That is the lowest level of support among this subgroup by 1 percentage point in CNN's surveys and a dip from a poll conducted in early December, before the partial shutdown, when 54% of whites without college degrees approved of his job as President and 39% disapproved.

Just don’t forget that you’re following a script intended to destabilize the US and NATO, Five Eyes, etc.  It was written by Russian intelligence. Master stroke, Vlad!

Keep the government shutdown or we'll release the Pee Tapes. :lol:
