I was just reminded that the G7 summit is in Kananaskis in June. I look forward to seeing Air Force One again but I worry about potential protests and stinky Trump supporters.

Make it a G6, Trump being a convicted felon shouldn't be allowed in the country.

As long as you don't miss your sheduled payments I don't know why he have an issue with a boarder.
Unless it's someone that attacked and entered his boat. Then yes I don't like boarders either

Thank him when something they like happens, blame someone else when something bad happens.
They’re still struggling with understanding tariffs. I saw comments after the LegalEagle video such as, “well, Chinese manufacturers will have to lower the price to Nike, and consumers won’t be affected”.

The Perception Gap That Explains American Politics
Americans overwhelmingly—but, it turns out, mistakenly—believe that Democrats care more about advancing progressive social issues than widely shared economic ones.
Trump transition says Cabinet picks, appointees were targeted by bomb threats, swatting attacks
A number of President-elect Donald Trump's most prominent Cabinet picks and appointees have been targeted by bomb threats and "swatting attacks," Trump's transition team said Wednesday. The FBI said it was investigating.
"Last night and this morning, several of President Trump's Cabinet nominees and Administration appointees were targeted in violent, unAmerican threats to their lives and those who live with them," Trump transition spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said in a statement.
The attacks ranged from bomb threats to swatting, in which attackers initiate an emergency law enforcement response against a target victim under false pretenses, she said. The tactic has become a popular one in recent years.
Leavitt said law enforcement and other authorities acted quickly to ensure the safety of those who were targeted and Trump and his transition team are grateful.
Among those targeted were New York Rep. Elise Stefanik, Trump's pick to serve as the next ambassador to the United Nations; Matt Gaetz, Trump's initial pick to serve as attorney general; Oregon Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer, whom Trump chose to lead the Department of Labor, and former New York congressman Lee Zeldin, who has been tapped to lead the Environmental Protection Agency.
Law enforcement officials are also looking into whether Susie Wiles, Trump's incoming chief of staff, and Pam Bondi, the former Florida attorney general whom Trump has chosen as Gaetz's replacement, and other incoming administration officials were also victims — as well as how each was targeted, according to a law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity as the investigation continues.
Wiles and Bondi did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The FBI said in a statement that it was "aware of numerous bomb threats and swatting incidents targeting incoming administration nominees and appointees" and was investigating with its law enforcement partners.
White House spokesperson Saloni Sharma said President Joe Biden had been briefed and the White House is in touch with federal law enforcement and Trump's transition team.
Biden "continues to monitor the situation closely," Sharma said, adding the president and his administration "condemn threats of political violence."
Stefanik's office said that, on Wednesday morning, she, her husband, and their 3-year-old son were driving home from Washington for Thanksgiving when they were informed of a bomb threat to their residence in Saratoga County.
This stuff is going to continue happening as America's divide between the two sides continues to deepen, pushing both sides further and further apart. It's pretty crazy to see unfold in real time. Whether it's the shooting of a Republican senator at that Congressional baseball game during Trump's first term, the insurrection at The Capitol when groups of rioters were searching for Pelosi or to the more recent attempted assassination of Trump this summer, it seems like something fatal is going to happen at some point down there, which you know is going to trigger a retaliation.

It's almost tradition at this point in the US, I don't think anything will change. "something fatal" last happened in 2019, 2015, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2008...

'Hurts the consumer': Companies planning substantial price hikes in anticipation of Trump tariffs

In an article published on October 30, Lynch reports that "producers of a range of items, including clothing, footwear, baby products, auto parts and hardware, say they will pass along the cost of the tariffs to their American customers."
Timothy Boyle, chief executive of Columbia Sportswear, told the Post, "We're set to raise prices. We're buying stuff today for delivery next fall. So we're just going to deal with it, and we'll just raise the prices.… It's going to be very, very difficult to keep products affordable for Americans."
Similarly, AutoZone CEO Philip Daniele told the Post, "If we get tariffs, we will pass those tariff costs back to the consumer. We'll generally raise prices ahead of — we know what the tariffs will be — we generally raise prices ahead of that."
Tweeting Lynch's article, SiriusXM host Michelangelo Signorile posted, "This should be leading the top of the news."
