Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum responded to Trump’s threats with a backhand:
“So, you voted to build a wall.
Well, dear Americans, even if geography isn’t your strong suit—since you consider America a country rather than a continent—you should know that beyond that wall, there are 7 billion people.
And since the word 'people' might not resonate with you, let’s call them 'consumers.'
These 7 billion consumers can switch from iPhones to Samsung or Huawei in less than two days.
They can swap Levi’s for Zara or Massimo Dutti and, within six months, replace Ford and Chevrolet with Toyota, KIA, Mazda, Honda, Hyundai, Volvo, Subaru, Renault, or BMW—brands that often outperform in quality.
They can cancel Direct TV, and though they might not want to, they can stop watching Hollywo... less

My mother-in-law - who is 94 - she wouldn’t call and complain. She just wouldn’t.”.
If it happens - US seniors should complain and know who to blame. Cheers and happy weekend!

Trump holds up an executive order to dismantle the education department, in Washington DC on Thursday.
I think it is horrible that he used some kids as props. Cheers!

The Canadians set fire to the White House and gave the US a proper a$$-whupping.Now Trump is talking about forcing Canada to join the US, and we all know that the only way that can happen is invasion. We also know it won't happen, the military is actually required to refuse illegal orders even if they come from the Cheeto in chief. But if, for argument's sake, the US military DID attempt to take Canada, would the Canadians be angry enough to do it again? less

I think that's pretty funny – once Trump claimed that he could declassify a document by just thinking about it – so why couldn't Biden do a pardon by Autopen.
Trump also made the claim while on Air force One. The weather navigation officer on Air Force One - was asked what he thought of Trump’s claim and he said – looks like reign. Cheers! less

Back then he also repeatedly said he would bring down food prices almost immediatly once he got back in office. Was he just being sarcastic about that too?

Wondering if there is anything like that in the Project 2025 book.

That's supposed to be permitted in a democracy. If this egregious assault on civil liberties stands, what's to stop His Royal Orangeness from arresting American citizens who support any cause his regime doesn't like? That's what Putin does.

I have An acquaintance of mine has quite a large number of documents, photos, other pieces of information that need to be shredded right away, and then the scraps burned,and then the ashes scattered in the winds of the Himalayas. I have My acquaintance has been to five different businesses where they expect me my acquaintance to toss the “evidence” into a so-called “secure” bin and walk away, trusting that they will be shredded later without anybody going through them, using them to their advantage, blackmailing me my acquaintance, selling them on the open market, calling in the authorities, etc. (This is an urgent necessity, there are certain actions that have taken place that might tip off a certain Australian, or a Minnesotan, or an evil Queenpin, or Investigators looking into untoward activities that may or may not have been at my acquaintance’s hand. Cough, cough.)

The same day he ordered that the US no longer provide Ukraine with satellite photos of Russian troop moment – which could tip the war in Russia's favor over night. So on that day I think he did more harm than good. Cheers and happy weekend!

I think a few other countries are sick and tired of Trump’s deals and Trump will be eating a lot of crow.

When I contacted them about it she said that a few years ago, a real president signed a bill stating the SSA can no longer reduce the amount I receive each month because I earn other pensions. It finally caught up after three years, and they paid me a lump sum of what they owed me. Also my monthly amount is going up by $300. Has this happened to you yet?

When Johnson was asked if he was standing by Haynes - he said, "I am. I am." .
