Probably already on some lists considering all the commie sympathizers and CCP supporters here.

Commie sympathizers?
If there was any doubt about your competency to discuss politics, you've erased it now.
Lol, snap the #### out of it; it's 2025.

So delightfully on brand.

I like how in CP Land, it's Hitler versus Stalin, but in the real world New Hitler and New Stalin are busy fellatiating each other.

What I had said was that attacking one another on here is the norm but that family members are off limits. They aren't here, they aren't known, they can't defend themselves so it is wrong to say stupid #### about them. But apparently no one is off limits for you.

I’m scared of another 4 years of Liberals.

You could have taken your US statement a year ago and just changed Democratic to Republican and it would have held true. North American politics are so polarized now. Just look at the political threads on here.

Not good for the future.

Louisiana now discouraging mass vaccinations.


https://abcnews.go.com/Health/louisi...x-newtab-en-us


Quote:
In a surprising announcement, Louisiana's surgeon general announced late Thursday that the state health department "will no longer promote mass vaccination."
In a memo to staff members, Dr. Ralph Abraham described vaccines as "one tool in a toolbox" to combat severe illness and that conversations about specific vaccines are best held between an individual and their health care provider.

I laughed at those people, and now I feel like them, because it has all crossed my mind, I'm certain at some time in the coming months Trump will lash out in anger and say "just invade them already", lacking a complete understanding of just how logistically challenging an invasion of Canada would be. I think about the day he says that and I wonder; will his advisers say no? will the generals? will the soldiers? will the democrats? will people just quit and silently go home until he finds someone that will? If they do make an unwelcome entry into our territory would that be enough to break their country up, or will people go home or sit silently? Do they only have the attention space to invade the Ontario Peninsula and will they claim victory, while leaving the rest of Canada virtually untouched? I'm sure we have someone in Alberta who is stupid enough to declare for trump immediately, will her party stand behind her?

I've though about all of that, and it's just a sign of how bad it is, and aside from the stupid things I am sure Trump and Smith will do, I have confidence in nothing
Has Trump actually done anything beyond sending out some threats via X?

I think you’re reading too much into it. Maybe turn off the news for a while.

Either stop being to ignorant or stop commenting. You're posting nonsense.

Ohh Trump, he's just rattling cages. It's just threats guys, nothing to see here. Ever drank too much soda and hopped on X to threaten western democracy? Who hasn't!

Meanwhile: The Libs under a more competent PM would be the death of us all! God, no, please!

Vance having quite the day in Europe. Starts off by lecturing European leaders on how the threats and dangers to them are more internal than the threat from Russia. Uses a bunch of out of context anecdotes based in right wing crap to justify it. Doesn’t mention Russian abuses or issues at all.

Then Vance meets with the leader of the German far right party on the midst of their election.

Incredible to watch this in real time. There’s a real chance by the end of this term the US allies are down to India, Russia and North Korea.

The problem with Trump threatening our country, or Denmark, or Panama, is that he is the leader of a foreign nation. Our options are either take him seriously, that his threats are sincere, or treat him like a punk ass witch and by extention, America.

It's a sign of our former esteem for the USA, that we take their leader seriously.
