Ding Dong.....the US Politics Thread (Part 2)

On the other hand, that is not a precedent that a lot of people in Trump’s circle are going to want to set. If a Presidential pardon can be set aside by another President, many of his inner circle will never have a restful day in their lives.

The level of stupidity and dishonesty on display here is off the charts

Even ignoring that these criticisms of Walz are absurd and right out of the RW disinformation swamp, imagine believing that a guy who was an “assistant” high school coach referring to himself as a coach is a level of dishonesty that forces you out of neutrality to take a stand in the election and…start promoting Donald Fucking Trump

I’d hope it can not be reversed but as we have seen,Trump plays by his own set of rules and gets away with it.
His tame Supreme Court would not change that, that’s for certain.

Senility and idiocy combine to make a photo?

Of course the real travesty is that this clown apparently actually has some influence in US politics.

Just you wait, it won’t be long until it spreads even beyond.

This wouldnt normally be shareworthy news except police are reporting they believe the shooting was a targeted attack

and while we dont know why he was targeted, you dont have to think too far to come up with a likely reasons given he is the head of this company

@Arminius Trump is reported to have floated to Trudeau the idea of Canada joining the US…as a single state of which Trump would allow him to be the governor of :joy:

Here he is seemingly responding to news of that breaking…

…by planting a Canadian flag in Switzerland???

Lost among all the scandal and fury of the last go around was just how dumb so much of it was :joy:

This is straight up Russian Propaganda, ignoring that Russian special forces had already covertly invaded Crimea (pretending to be Crimean separatists) and removed the local government in favour of a pro-russian one that then held the “referendum” that under those circumstances was only going to be allowed to have a pro-russia result.

Yeah, there is coverage of one of the Ministers who was there saying it was clearly a joke. But that in itself conveys (probably deliberately) a lack of respect for Trudeau, so it is still damaging. Notably, Poilievre has kept every quiet about it, because his current weakness is that he would be perceived as a Yankee lapdog.

At some point, the MAGA clowns who do seem to love the 51st state idea will realize a few points:

i) Even if Canada was made into a 2nd California, those electoral districts would swing the balance of the Electoral College by about 8%, assuming our Blue areas translate into their Red areas. We are almost all commies by their standards.

ii) No way that would be workable, regionalism is a defining characteristic of Canada, no way a state government could manage that.

iii) Although it appears to be perfectly acceptable to send an Ambassador to France who cannot speak French, Quebec has an expectation of government in French.

The most batshit element being a MAGA is indirectly saying that Trump’s administration is responsible for bringing that internet censorship to the US.

It’s also incomprehensible buzzword gibberish?

I don’t want this Trump cunt anywhere near my country. Fuck off! :rage:

(@Arminius is welcome though if he wants to emigrate somewhere else than the US! :wink: )

Perhaps Trump was offering to relocate ‘Canada’ to Switzerland so keeping the actual land for America :rofl:

Given that it’s Christmas season I think Trudeau should go all Love Actually on Trump and declare it to be a bad relationship.
