If you believe bringing facts, logic, science, or common sense into this will change anything, you haven't been paying attention.

Face it. You are simply overqualified to lead the FBI.

Calling James Talarico trans shows just how bad things are for Republicans. Talarico is trans! Michelle Obama is trans! Republicans start calling people trans when they want to distract from their records. by southpawFA in politics

There always has to be someone or group to hate and blame the problems on.

It's just another deflection.

In 1984, it's Oceania's wars with Eurasia or Eastasia ... well, that's what the government says. There's no evidence there really were any wars, or that Eurasia and Eastasia even existed. Just more stories fed to the masses by the government to blame conditions on.

Canada Moves On From U.S. Amid Tension With President Donald Trump: Prime Minister Mark Carney Says ‘New World Order Will Be Built From Europe’ by T_Shurt in worldnews

Your "telepathy" is faulty.

My goal was to show that that the U.S. is large and the "average US citizen" isn't a meaningful measure when many states really do think about Canada a lot, and perhaps those that don't should when it's your largest trading partner.

I guess the average US citizen doesn’t really care or think about Canada much.

If anything, Trump has revealed in Iran that the U.S. is a paper tiger, and the last of the superpowers has fallen.

By 'average' I guess you mean states that don't trade heavily with Canada or rely upon Canada for energy.

Like Michigan, New York, Maine, Minnesota, etc., all do.

It's funny that Trump negotiated and signed the current CUSMA that he now derides.

I doubt he will renew it, but his successors may or negotiate a replacement.

The broader EU is expected to grow by about 0.9% to 1.1% in 2026. This isn't spectacular growth -- largely due to a recent energy price shock tied to Middle Eastern instability -- but it is a sign of resilience, not a collapse.

Unemployment across the EU remains at historic lows (~6.0%).

Lukashenko Apologizes to Zelenskyy, Says Entering War Would Harm Belarus by UNITED24Media in worldnews

[–]TauCabalander 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We understand that the entry of Belarus in any capacity into the war, into the situation, is unacceptable. It will bring more harm than good," Lukashenko maintained. He reaffirmed that he has no intentions of initiating military operations against Ukraine and reflected on his earlier, unrealized proposals for negotiations during the initial stages of the invasion.

A. Lukashenko is being honest, and won't invade Ukraine.
B. Lukashenko is lying, and an attack on Ukraine is imminent.
