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?
Cheers and happy weekend!

Wondering if there is anything like that in the Project 2025 book.
Cheers and happy weeend!

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.)

I figure Trump will use tax money to buy a Tesla and claim it is trickle down economics or something stupid like that.

Even those acting pro bono.He signed an Executive Order banning not-for-profit workers from a federal loan forgiveness scheme if they were deemed to have engaged in "improper" activities.

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." .

What would Joe 6-pack do if his other neighbor offered to protect him (with no guaranties that he actually would) then demand that he gives him his hot tube?
What would Joe 6-pack do if the money he needed to protect his property was suddenly cut off?
What would Joe 6-pack do if his starlink system was cut off by a friend of the neighbor that invaded his property?
I think Joe 6-pack would say F that.

We thought the veil had irreversibly slipped when he bragged about sexual assault on camera.We assumed he had no more chances when he attempted a coup.We believed that 34 criminal convictions (and another 17 pending) would matter.It never mattered. It just shifted the goal posts.Even on this specific issue; it didn't make a difference to his supporters when we learned that Kremlin representatives had met his campaign officials in Trump Tower and offered to help get him elected. It couldn't turn the party against him when he was found to have extorted Zelenskyy, withholding aid unless he opened a phony investigation into Hunter Biden.And when Trump stood next to Putin and declared that he believed him over his own intelligence agencies,... less
