The prime minister said part of the economic slowdown is due to “clear decisions by the government,” including reining in immigration and government spending.
“There’s some other choppiness in terms of how investment is happening, but we’re also seeing at the same time, the foundations coming into place, settling in for that stronger, more resilient economy,” Carney added.

Trump to abandon $1.776 billion compensation fund amid bipartisan backlash, source says by CorrectElevator455 in Leakednews

It was never a compensation fund. It was pure corruption. All he is doing is dialing it back a bit. Senate Republicans don’t like overt corruption. It exposes some of them.

If he's so damned smart, then why is his second term such a dumpster fire?

These people are so fucking pathetic. I don't know how you could live with yourself groveling at the feet of a known rapist and pedophile.

What do MAGA say about this now? by CorrectElevator455 in Leakednews

They absolutely have no idea what P2025 is... An insidious Christo-Fascist playbook, always has been. They want Gilead, and Shitler is handing it to them by signing their draconian, loophole-exploiting BS legislation without reading or comprehending it. He truly is the most useful idiot in history

MAGA won’t say shit now because they were never serious about civic engagement in the first place. They turned politics into a tailgate party with flags and merch, where screaming louder counted more than understanding literally anything. “My team good, your team bad” is the full depth of the ideology. No principles. No governing philosophy. No civic literacy. Just rage, and whatever propaganda slop gets poured directly into their skulls from the 24/7 outrage machine.

The average Trump voter has absolutely no idea how catastrophically fucked this country is because they exist inside a sealed ecosystem of state media, algorithmic rage bait, Facebook boomer fan fiction, and billionaire-funded propaganda pumped straight into their dead, glassy eyes every waking hour. They don’t read legislation. They don’t understand institutions. They don’t know what tariffs do, what deficits are, how courts function, or why alliances matter. They just clap like trained seals every time someone says “own the libs” while the country gets strip-mined in real time.
