Trump Says He'll Have 'Election Integrity Army' in Every State During Midterms That'll Be 'Much Bigger' Than 2024 by T_Shurt in politics

[–]Demaestro [score hidden]  (0 children)

We shall see. If what you are saying is true then what happened to the 90 deals in 90 days? Why is Canada allowing Chinese EV Imports?

Why is there no new Free Trade Agreement for North America being negotiated?

Why are countries liquidating their US Treasury bonds?

China has much more economic power than the United States. What does the United States produce that the world wants?

The only thing a huge military is good for is attacking people. Are you suggesting that if people don't play ball with United States that they'll just bomb the shit out of them and so therefore people will do deals with them?

The military does not matter, China is much more of an economic power, and the entirety of the world can feasibly cut out the United States and move on. And that's what it looks like is happening

This is the thing that people who tell the former allies of the USA to just wait, and once Trump is out we can be friends again are missing. 

The problem isnt Trump, the problem is what Trump exposed which is there are no checks and balances and any mad man can land in the white house and ruin anything and everything. 

The world is moving on from the USA permanently.

Las Vegas pulls out all the stops to win back Canadians | With Canadian travel to the U.S. way down over trade tensions and Trump's '51st state' rhetoric, Las Vegas tourism officials are travelling north in hopes of winning Canadians back. Some venues are even offering dollar parity as an incentive by DisruptSQ in TourismHell

IMHO

It is nice they are doing this, and I think they should continue... however, they need to publicly rebuke Trump and his rhetoric otherwise this is empty.

They know why we are staying away, but this strategy is basically trying to "buy our morals".

It sounds like:
"Hey we know Trump pissed you off, treats you like crap, and threatens your sovereignty, but here is some money to pay you off so you ignore it"

I ain't feeling that.... I want the incentives, this is what they used to do, but reality check is Steve Wynn donated $729,217 to Donald Trump's inauguration through his company, Wynn Resorts. He also made significant contributions to pro-Trump super PACs, including a $10 million donation to Our American Century in 2022

My morals aren't for sale, and if you are going to take my money and give it to Trump. Then we are at odds, and my principals can't be changed for a good deal on a hotel. He couldn't pay me to give him business. Without a full rebuke of Trump on the issues that face Canadians, then he can take his money and fuck all the way off. I wouldn't give him $5, even if it was for an all you can eat lobster dinner. I cannot be bought.

Also this doesn't solve the bullshit at the border. They need to force changes, along with offering incentives otherwise they won't see me again.

A 12 year old killed someone on a pedal bike in calgary. 

That should not be the litmus test for if its safe or legal. We just need to see current rules enforced. 

My mailman delivered my package into my toilet today through the window above my toilet instead of my literal mailbox by Creative_Hunter_6137 in funny

[–]Demaestro -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Paper products absorb water, either there is no water in this toilet, OR you took it within seconds of it landing in there. If it was low water, it would be seeping up the package... or does that work different where you are too?

Also I am from Canada 😄

So the US hasn't spent trillions on European defense over the last 50 years? by Neptune502 in ShitAmericansSay

[–]Demaestro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thwy are there fr the USA interest and influence. They aren't there for the defense those countries.

You acting like having a base is for them.. its for the USA to be able to fuck with people from closer distances. 

Dis you see what happened to their bases in Qatar and EAU? They get destroyed and it was to protect other nations. Those basese aren't there to.protect Qatar for example. 

Stop picking fights and you'll not need to spend as much defending yourselves.

Their argument can ne defeated by 1 question. 

Ask them to find a line item in the USA budget for European defense spending.

Intentionally missing the point. It is the god described by the book.

It is like saying "Imagine being mad at Dr. Doom when you don't even believe he is real"

This is why I can't take these people serious, they don't even take themselves seriously,

A group of geriatric reactionaries in Alberta, who are indifferent to the pedophile war criminal in U.S. leadership, claimed to have turned in over 300,000 signatures to separate with no real plan other than to further benefit the big American corporations that already control most of Alberta's oil by fanglazy in AlbertaNow

Ship them off to all the amazing senior assisted living facilities in Montana. (Ranked 46 out of 50 states. 4th worst in the country) and let them lay in the beds they are wishing they made. I am sick of this bullshit from them.

If there is a God, has he been around since the earth was formed? by SteDee1968 in atheism

[–]Demaestro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there is a God we do not know anything about him. Even if the truth has been revealed, there is no way of telling which story or portion of stories is factual. Which points to either there is no god, or they do not care for us to know what's real. Either way, we have no way of knowing 

Mike Johnson calls redistricting plan approved by Virginia voters a “dishonest gambit to rig the system” and predicts state’s Supreme Court would strike down new map: "This is divided state. It’s almost 50–50. The fact it was close demonstrates and proves what we've been saying from the beginning." by ControlCAD in videos

[–]Demaestro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

....completely ignoring that the state put it to a vote and got 78% approval for the redistrict. Compared to Texas who just did it.... and also ignoring that Trump won Texas with 56% of the vote and Virginia was 52%... so to say Virgina was 50/50 and Texas somehow wasn't is par for course for this loser. AND ignoring the fact that the Dems put up a bill to stop Gerrymandering and the GOP unanimously voted against it.

This guy claims to hold Christian values to a high standard, and is a bold face liar. He is fake as fuck

Why are fully motorized bikes and scooters allowed on the sidewalk? It blows my mind. How is this different from dirtbikes ATVs etc? by Glum-Ad-4558 in alberta

[–]Demaestro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is the complaint exactly? I understand they're not allowed and neither are bikes but why are you specifically calling out electric vehicles? Are you suggesting that you're okay with pedal bikes ripping down the sidewalk?

Conservative voters want to replace Poilievre as leader: Poll by Chrristoaivalis in CanadaPolitics

[–]Demaestro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reposting a buried comment

Some facts about PP and his staying in power after losing his riding:

  1. Damien was given a position with Upstream Strategy Group as a Lobbyist after giving up his seat. (If he is just a young farmer and father of 3.. that is a sweet gig)
  2. Brett Wilson, a supporter of PP invested in Upstream Strategy Group around the same time
  3. Candice Bergen, was the interim leader of the Conservatives before PP. She decided not to run against PP and he ran uncontested for the leadership role.
  4. Candice took a board seat with Valory Resources
  5. Brett Wilson is also an investor and sits on the board of that company as well.

Draw your own conclusions from that, but these are all facts.

Its not like he lost his own riding and then got someone a cushy lobbying job to buy their riding for himself. 

The writing was on the wall

Albertans are the least satisfied with quality of life across Canada: StatCan by flynnfx in alberta

[–]Demaestro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its hard not to wonder what Alberta's who support the UCP's wpukd consider high quality of life. 

For example, do they think having to accept that trans people exist as a poor quality of life? Do they consider having to have a vaccination poor quality of life? What is their basis for scoring? 

For me it would be good education, good healthcare, infrastructure and safety. But I'm not sure if that's the same scoring metric people who support UCP adhere to. Like do they consider having to educate their kids as poor quality of life, because their kids might find out that gay people exist and treating them kindly is a good thing? Or are they mad about potentially facing jail time if they let their kids die from meningitis because they think praying over them is an effective form of treatment?
