Sir, I have never ever seen a better US economy than since you took office two days ago. Joe Biden is seriously sleepy and crooked. Sir, you are absolutely 6'3" and 215 lbs. I have grown men coming up to me daily saying they wish Canada had a PM like Trump instead of a little wimpy boy like me. Truly, you are the greatest. Even Melania phoned me last night to tell me that you have be biggest #### she's ever been with, and she's been with PLENTY - so she tells me sir.

Next day at presser: Trump Grants Canada Specially Ally designation, no tariffs and free trade guaranteed for 99 years.
I thought we were voting in PP for exactly this reason?

Orange rapist, I like that, will borrow and promote the use.

He's such a petty, repulsive person that it's entirely possible the Canadian tariff idea popped in his head after a few moments of resentment towards Trudeau. Even if he didn't notice at the time, he likely saw the Melania and Evanka pics and that was enough to cause a grudge. That's very possibly what we're working with.

I'll say it again.

I'm still not convinced the Tariffs were ever going to happen.

The threat just reeks of Trumpian chest-puffing.

Now, I fully admit that I could be wrong. Trump is a 'Grade A Moron' after all and their behaviour is erratic and illogical by nature. Maybe he will do it, but a reasonable person would see that those levels of Tariffs are a disaster waiting to happen.

So I'm more inclined to believe that it was a juvenile and transparent negotiation scare tactic.

The real question remains, if I'm right then Drumpf really wants something else. What is that? That I don't know.

So now you have to decide whether you want to roll those dice.

So I'm thinking about the poor girl looking at the tampon dispenser in the boy's bathroom and....she's gotta be desperate and thats a real 'Sophie's Choice.'

"How old are those? How long have they been there?"

That kind of thing.
Great bit. Killer

After this defunding of the NIH, Canada should be poaching those doctors and researchers

It kind of bothers me that Mexico and Canada have resorted to finger pointing through all the tariff talk. If the tariffs go through, there is probably more opportunity for Mexico and Canada to increase trade with each other and bypassing the U.S. At least I think there would be, granted I am not a expert on trade or if the logistics would work out.

Trump campaigned on making prices cheaper for everyone (somehow), and yet here he is, about to make things incredibly more expensive for all Americans.

Cannot wait for these price increases and failed political promises to slam the MAGA lemmings right in their shocked faces.

From the Seattle Times: Trump's executive order to restrict birthright citizenship is blocked for at least the next two weeks by a Reagan appointee in Seattle who eviscerated the Trump lawyers present defending the order.

Ok America, that's enough

Quote:
Mississippi state Sen. Bradford Blackmon, a Democrat, introduced a bill this week that would seemingly ban men from masturbating or engaging in other sexual acts when they have no "intent to fertilize an embryo."

The bill, titled the "Contraception Begins at Erection Act," would make it unlawful for "a person to discharge genetic material without the intent to fertilize an embryo." It includes exceptions for sperm donation and using contraception to prevent fertilization.

The bill, introduced Monday, imposes fines of $1,000 for a first offense, $5,000 for a second offense and $10,000 for any subsequent offenses.

The bill is unlikely to pass the GOP-led state Legislature, but if it does and is signed into law by Gov. Tate Reeves, a Republican, it would go into effect in July.

Today, tump causes gasps at Davos by once again pushing to annex Canada.

"We have a tremendous deficit with Canada. We‘re not going to have that anymore. We can‘t do it... As you probably know, I say you can always become a state. And if you‘re a state, we won‘t have a deficit."

Sometimes it's tough to tell what is real, and what is being done to flag the ridiculousness of their policies.

I think it's a great move. It's going at them with the exact same tactics to expose hypocrisy over personal autonomy through legislation efforts, not just lip service. I don't think they seriously think things like this will pass, but it hammers home the idiocy of the other policies. Each sperm is a potential life. So masturbation is murder.

They should also be attempting to ban viagra and other sexual aids for the same purpose. God intended that your D is bad and not meant to be used for conception anymore.

Oh, you want me to mind my own f***ing business? That's weird.

Ban masturbation and recreational sex? HTF would you enforce that?
