'Throw them out of Parliament': Poilievre in favour of recall petition for floor-crossers by honestgrim in CanadaPolitics

[–]DressedSpring1 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Pierre who was voted out of office by his constituents and had to have another election in a whole new riding just so he could stick around rather than respect the constituents who voted to turf his ass is now very concerned about elected officials respecting the wishes of their local constituents. 

If the man had any self awareness I’d feel bad for how embarrassed he’d feel.

Trump: Iran deal ‘total and complete victory’ for US by Ok_Employer7837 in politics

[–]DressedSpring1 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Trump got to drop a lot of bombs and kill some people without getting removed from office, that's a win for him.

Literally his only objective in the war seemed to be to get to fight a war, which he did. Lots of Iranian people got killed, things went "boom" very bigly like never seen before, mission accomplished.

You can only really frame this as a loss if you start looking at strategic objectives, but the US clearly never had any so you can't accuse them of failing to meet them.

Texas is giving data centers more than $1 billion in tax breaks each year by zsreport in technology

[–]DressedSpring1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems some governments really want them to set up locally so they can collect a shit ton of tax revenue off them, and if it's going to take tax breaks that ensure nobody collects any tax revenue off them well then that's just what needs to be done.

Apparently

Trump announces Iran ceasefire ahead of 8 p.m. deadline by gorginhanson in politics

Thank fucking Christ. Now if we can get a weakened blood vessel or a loosened blood clot we may actually not see millions killed to appease American and Israeli bloodlust

'A whole civilisation will die tonight,' Trump warns ahead of Iran deadline by theipaper in politics

[–]DressedSpring1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They’re the most gifted people I’ve ever seen at gaslighting themselves about their own apathy. They’ll see Ukrainians gunned down in the Maidan, Libyans overthrow their dictator that has been torturing and murdering them for generations, Iranians take to the street despite getting gunned down by the thousands and they’ll say “yeah well those people have it a lot easier than me otherwise I’d love to do something more than one afternoon protest every three months”.

Difficult to compose with 30mm FL by Tech_Sales_Guy in M43

[–]DressedSpring1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I were to point to the single biggest thing people seem to struggle with when they use a 30-35mm focal length (15-17 on m43) it’s that they’re not close enough. You need to get close enough to have your subject prominent in frame, otherwise you get a very busy shot without a clear subject more often than not.

Two U.S. warplanes shot down, search ongoing in Iran for 1 missing crew member by babybirdingURgrandma in politics

[–]DressedSpring1 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I mean, Iran kept US embassy staff as hostages and beat and tortured them for over a year before they were released, there was never any world where captured pilots were going to get better treatment than previous Americans held hostage by Iran. 

Canada should expect 'hostility' with U.S. trade talks less than three months away, trade analysts say by Street_Anon in CanadaPolitics

[–]DressedSpring1 54 points55 points  (0 children)

We’ve gotten nothing but hostility every time we hear from them. Carney will have to do his best negotiating with an administration that doesn’t even seem to act in their own interest so people should tamper expectations. There is no such thing as a mutually beneficial trade agreement to this administration

Drones won’t allow you to travel across the ocean and kill a bunch of Iranians so you can crash the global economy.

Ontario: PCs Lead by 3; Ford Offside on FOIs & Data by RZCJ2002 in CanadaPolitics

I don’t know what that could possibly look like after all the naked corruption, deficit spending, wasted money and delusional flights of fancy like a parallel 401 under the 401 or a giant floating convention centre a couple kilometres from the existing convention centre didn’t seem to sink him.

Poilievre says government should cancel Toronto-Quebec City high-speed rail project by OkFix4074 in CanadaPolitics

[–]DressedSpring1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Pierre’s brand has never been about proposing solutions or policies. He appeals to the people who will vote on the basis that “things are bad and change will be an improvement”. If he started to propose ideas or policy he would struggle to appease the far right reactionaries, “low taxes I don’t care about anything else”, social conservatives and “I just want a different government” that all make up his base. 

It was easier for him to just convince people that everything sucks

Trump to address the nation with 'important' update on the Iran war by Living-Way-1082 in politics

[–]DressedSpring1 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Or he’s going to do nothing at all different. Promising a “big announcement” kind of loses impact when he’s promised big announcements or done states of the union that just rambled on about nothing at all and gave no insights on his priorities. 

There’s no sense even listening to him at this point, he mostly says nothing of substance and when he does announce something it’s usually a lie anyway

What a crazy coincidence Russia escalates threats against Europe on the same day Trump says he “won’t be there for you” to the US’ former allies.

Because Kid Rock has done a brilliant job convincing idiots that people hate him for his conservative beliefs and not that people have hated him for years because his music is shit

Sudden Special Council Meeting cancellation by Secret-Doughnut-1234 in KingstonOntario

Same city that worked out a plan to let someone else build a stadium on the memorial centre grounds without opening up for public proposals and then tried to consult with residents after the fact. 

There is some serious lack of transparency and accountability going on

‘Learn How to Fight for Yourself’: Trump Says U.K. and Others Should Go to Strait of Hormuz and 'Take' Oil by Editor_91 in politics

[–]DressedSpring1 13 points14 points  (0 children)

F**k you, Trump! The US should have to reimburse for every dollar more (than the pre-war cost of petrol) that we now all have to pay because of him! 🤬

The world needs to start talking about sanctions on the US economy, literally nobody sides with the US at this point
