Every once in a while you get cracks in the facade that remind us. There are significant sections in the Geneva Convention that were put there explicitly because of the Canadians.
Religion of Pieces?
Indeed. He was elected to fight for America and American interests. The U.S Dollar remaining on top is ultimately in the best interest of America as a whole. Regardless of the moral alignments of the factions feuding for control of the United States.
That and I think there were a lot of people who convinced themselves they’d be able to become the new “Wealthy Elite” based off their crypto investments. If Crypto replaces conventional currency. And the U.S Dollar, and other currencies remaining viable internationally would ultimately threaten that.
It’s also been up there 25+ years as far as we know at any rate. So it would logically stand to reason there’s already a few Holiday Decorations and crap from previous missions floating around in there. No pun intended.
What over a decade with no results and Billions of Dollars spent.
With foreign companies involved actually withdrawing support. Because working on projects in or near active war zones in North Africa. Was easier and more cost effective than dealing with Californias bureaucracy.
Long past time questions started being asked
Half the country was laughing. And the other half was finger wagging at the half laughing and saying we shouldn’t be celebrating a man’s death. Even if he was CEO of an Insurance Company.
I don’t recall anyone being particularly afraid. Except perhaps other Health Insurance Executives.
They’re already making more than the majority of the country. Will ever hope to make. Including many in vaunted STEM and Skilled Trades fields. For a comparative fraction of the work. With the amount of time they have off.
Why in Gods name should they get a Raise of any sort? If anything they should be getting a pay cut.
And were this a Private company. I’d imagine they’d be looking at cutting Congress completely to save money. As since they started tracking approval ratings for Government. Congress has almost continually ranked near the bottom of approval ratings.
Hell. At times during the periodic polling the only Government entity below them in popularity was the fucking IRS.
The Guest list of foreign leaders will undoubtedly be interesting.
It’s too early to say for certain what it may indicate without a full list of invited leaders who will definitely attend. But Milei and Bukele would suggest potentially a preliminary gauge and guide to the Geopolitical Order that will replace the collapsing post WW2 Consensus. And what their relationship to the United States will be. Before any details are formally hammered out in a readily obvious method.
I’d imagine we’ll also see what the international politicking of his first term also amounted too. He visited a lot of nations. And we still aren’t completely aware of what he actually discussed with some of the leaders he visited. Just parts we’ve been told.
Congress and Ethics. Two things that have never seemingly gone together.
Probably the same thing that happens to a lot of people who go to Congress and end up with any degree of influence over the rest of the body
Goons in neatly tailored non-descript suits show up. They explain how things really work. Maybe add in a few less than subtle threats against friends and family. Imply they’ve got inside men in all the Federal Law Enforcement agencies. So they can’t go to them. Along with the implication that they can benefit if they play ball and will be destroyed if they break rank.
TLDR: The pilots interview was basically “My insider sources said these aren’t Sniffers.”
Which means absolutely dick all. As everyone doing fucking podcast circuits these days seems to have “insider sources”.
Zero hedge does a better job of laying out a potential theory. That doesn’t amount to “Trust me and my totally legit insiders bro”.
You know. Absolutely everything the West does environmentally is near worthless.
If they don’t restrain the Chinese and Indians.
Chinese Fishing and Salvage Fleets devastate local ecosystems and drive fishing economies under. In fact the disappearance of several species is suspected to be linked to them. Not to mention the salvage fleet’s regular desecration of Western and Japanese Naval Wargraves particularly in the pacific.
Both Countries toss up Coal and Gas fired power plants left-right and center. The laxer environmental laws in both countries mean toxic chemicals and other shit often is regularly just dumped as opposed to properly disposed of. Most of the trash that ends up in the ocean is often traced to either country.
Not to mention Poaching and shit. Particularly by foreigners and immigrants is also up.
But instead they’re bragging about arresting a guy over Mexican refrigerant compared to the far more pressing issues they could be addressing.
So they somehow missed the fact that mystery Uber plague was just a slightly mutated form of Malaria. A Disease they’ve been grappling with for decades?
Problem is a few fold.
No 2nd Amendment.
They introduced many laws and regulations criminalizing retarded shit despite warnings from their own Law Enforcement that it would affect their ability to actually respond to serious situations. Much like the UK in that regard. Who were having more problems than you could shake a stick at before making a lot of retarded shit criminal offenses. Despite warnings by their own police forces.
Recruitment for Police Departments and 911 Dispatchers is down across the board here in the U.S. Stands to reason that problem isn’t much different up there. So there’s less people capable of responding to his 911 call to begin with.
And an inordinate amount of assets are tied up making sure the imported Diversity isn’t organizing into an actual threat that may threaten the lives of the people in office and the rich fucks who are pulling their strings.
Another reference to annexing Canada. It’ll be curious to see if this is just a running joke to piss off Canadian Leaders and get people focused on the U.S-Canadian relationship.
Or a sneak peek at what’s in store. Or maybe both
Judging by the regular references to Annexing Canada. Coming from both Trump and people who occupied positions in his previous administration. Stands to reason the 51st state references may in fact not entirely be a running joke. But a sneak preview.
Nuclear Material lost in transit. Boss announces he’s not going to Bedminister after all. Me thinks the two are related.
I mean the question of legality I think at this point is more a moot point than anything at this point after 4 years.
Rumor is Trudeau thinking about stepping down. The Frenchies are on the ropes with their Government.
U.K is seeing Reform grow in popularity. While the Tories and Labor seethe.
Things are getting interesting
The Cabal Agents that have spent a couple weeks dodging Military Drones in an attempt to take another shot at him: “God Damn it!”
Quite a few stories from Vietnam of Soldiers recognizing Locals who worked around the Camps and Bases. Among the dead of Viet Cong fighters who would raid them during the night.
It was. China offered to produce parts, food, and equipment at rates U.S Workers/Companies couldn’t hope to match. Often subsidizing their companies to further drive down their companies costs allowing them to further undermine U.S Companies.
Because U.S Workers want things like Work-Life-Balance. Insurance and Health Benefits. Livable wages etc. Meanwhile the Chinese get paid peanuts in comparison. Have fewer benefits and work longer hours. So U.S Companies flocked to do Business in China.
Also helpful is the Chinese have a fraction of the Environmental Laws. So it’s comparatively easy to dispose of Industrial Waste. And Mine for Metals. Both of which can be environmentally destructive. Especially when done with efficiency of extraction in mine. Versus preservation of health and the environment.
Which contributes to saving U.S Companies very large sums of money. Money that pad earnings reports for shareholders and ends up in CEO Bonuses. Which eventually ends up in political campaign funds. Which fund candidates in support of more outsourcing and overseas trade. So the Shareholders, CEOs, and Corporate Management can continue to make piles of money.
The Chinese are also in part funding Woke. Their heavy investments in tech companies, and seeming rise of woke, and other seemingly inane political ideologies on both sides of the aisle aren’t complete coincidences. Sew Discord, Distrust and uncertainty in your opposition is a sensible strategy. And it happens to benefit our own political elite so they aren’t going to take serious action. Even if they use it rhetorically in political speeches.
I’ve been told that it’s the “Free Market” at work. And we should copy the Chinese if we want to stay competitive. And that taking action to stop Chinese Companies for undermining the U.S Economy is horrible, uncompetitive, and an assault on Freedom.
To put it another way. The U.S and West opened up to China because we thought we could repeat the fall of the USSR and Warsaw pact. The Chinese however decided to settle in for the long game. To undermine the West. Out of Malice and perhaps revenge as well. For several centuries of embarrassment, territorial concessions and abuse.
Many schools will withhold degrees if you don’t take certain classes and meet their own arbitrary requirements on top of the bare minimum State Requirements.
So it’s fairly likely at least one or more of them is there because the school explicitly forced them there with a “You don’t take this class. You don’t graduate.”
Still fuck paying their loans. I’m getting my degree the hard way by paying for classes one at a time. Why would I pay for someone else’s?
Big man is likely trying to fluff up his reputation for a run at Prime Minister.
Energy exports, particularly to the United States, however more important to places like Alberta. Who are heavily reliant on them to keep their Economy going.
You’ll see likely see other provinces bend over backwards and likely pick up Ontarios slack to avoid sanctions. Supposing he’s stupid enough to do it.
I’m a bit a surprised about all the public stories about female Teachers being arrested for Grooming Children. Usually those reports are the ones that are buried the Deepest by the Schools and Teachers Unions. As these kinds of stories and predators for that matter are most inconvenient to widely accepted societal narratives.
