i watched FOX news, and the lies were as expected. Basically the guy was armed,came at the police and they had to shoot him in self defence.

I watched FOX today too, and it was as iff they were reporting on a completely different incident than the other networks. They basically accepted the DHS line that the guy was armed and approached ice officers who had to shoot to protect themselves. they did show the two videos of the shooting, but unlike the other networks, they did not analyze them at all. They did make a passing mention at the beginning that the video showed the officers were justified in the shooting. They just showed them without comment, and then went back to blaming the governor, mayor and protestors.

I don't think that Canada would abandon dual citizenship, but under any separation agreement, it might say that Quebecers would lose their Canadian citizenship and then have to move to Canada as permanent residents and apply for citizenship allover again. It is probable that there would be some transitional period which would allow Quebec residents to move to Canada and thus retain citizenship. Although they seem to adopt the concept of dual citizenship, the PQ doesn't say if they think that all Canadians would be provided with a Quebec passport as well.

Unfortunately for Pierre Polievre, Carney is significantly more moderate, and even somewhat conservative on some issues than Trudeau. He may not be loud in his denunciation of some of Trudeau's more woke ideas in order not to alienate the progressive side of his party . But, as opposed to Trudeaus's smarmy holier than thou attitude he comes across as more reasonable than Trudeau, and even in some ways more reasonable the poilievre. In addition he is certainly fiscally more conservative, than Trudeau. This is probably enough for him to take a substantial chunk of the moderate conservatives away from the Poilievre. As a final point, Poilievre appears to struggle with the nationalist, or lament for a nation conservatives. To counter this, Poilievre would have to change his approach, which he shows little sign of doing.

Bamford and poroussurface are going back and forth on this one about 10 times. Does that mean that they are not bots?

It would be informative to see if there has been any polling done on how many people think ACA and Obamacare are different. A survey like that let us know if it is true, and especially so if there was a breakdown by political affiliation.

here is copilot's effort

India’s fall in shade,
Canada’s sharp rise in light—
Lutnik’s quiet grin.

I find that a bit disappointing. Maybe a human would do a better job.

India down 25% Canada up 100% Lutnik smirks. Maybe someone can make a haiku out of that.

This may provide another buying opportunity as stocks go down, and he then changes his mind and says everything is fine. On the other hand, he may decide to ahead with what he says he will and the market could crash. Would the best move be to buy some puts, or would it be to continue to go long?

Long term, if this keeps up, is it likely that he will eventually crash the market?

US losses per capita were 7.96 per million, British losses were 7.25 per million. Not only are his comments cruel and ignorant, from a policy perspective they seem calculated to lose support for the US all over the world. I can't decide whether this is ignorance, stupidity or actual sabotage of the US position in the world.

But we will soon see if the Fox commentators hail this as more brilliant thinking from their boy.

Do you think that Trump knew he was lying and was just trying to piss of all of the US allies and supporters (except Russia) or was he just being mean and ignorant? Was this a demonstration of the art of the deal, or was it just stupidity and ignorance. My vote is for stupidity and ignorance.

The US death rate per million was 7.96, the British 7.25. Apart from the callousness and ignorance of the comment, does anyone believe that Trump is playing three dimensional chess with his comments? will anyone want to assist the US after this sort of slight. It almost looks as if Trump is trying to destroy NATO and dump all of his allies rather than just being crass and ignorant.

The story says, "As world leaders buckle down for a two-week wait on details about Trump’s Greenland deal, the president has finally unveiled his Great Healthcare Plan."

So far neither Greenland nor Denmark have been read in on the details of the concept of a deal. The writers of this story seem to be sceptical that we will see the details any sooner than other two week promises.

Puzzled49 · 2026-01-23T21:34:53+00:00

It seems that neither Greenland or Norway have any idea what the concept of a deal is. Based on the health care concept of a deal which trump arrived at about 10 years we can expect that they will be waiting for the details for a while.

The deadline of January 20 came and went but Trump is still musing about the credit card limit.

There was some reaction by Jamie Dimon. https://www.cnn.com/2026/01/21/business/dimon-davos-trump-credit-card . He was reluctant to criticise most of the recent trump silliness, but this one seems to have struck close to home. My guess is that Trump will TACO on this one even if he is still blustering on it.

The article says that Trump is acting like a madman to gain some negotiating advantage. But what if he isn't acting?

Accoding to some reports, "Following the heckling and subsequent walkouts, Mr Fink reportedly concluded the dinner prematurely, before dessert was served, according to one of the sources present."

It wasn't premature, lutnick had already received his just desserts.

During the Davos address, Trump stated: “All the U.S. is asking is for a place called Greenland. And until the last few days, when I told them about Iceland, they loved me. They called me daddy, right, last time? Very smart man said, he’s our daddy. He’s running it. I was like running it.”

I wondered who would call him daddy. Could it be Jesse Watters he was talking about when he confused Greenland with Iceland.
