It turns out that spending over $574 million on illegals and proposing a $60 million property tax increase didn’t sit well with some Chicago residents. During a City Council meeting, one Chicago resident told Mayor Brandon Johnson exactly how she felt about him and his woke policies that have contributed to the city’s $1 billion budget gap. "Okay, so I great way of we can—what we can do with this budget." "First, let's start with cutting off illegals getting free everything. Free housing, free schooling, free food." "Yeah! Let's start with that. That will save us a lot of money. What, $600 million? Let's start there." "Then let's start with you. Your salary." "You are going down in history as THE WORST mayor in America." "Let's start with cutting yours. You're making too much money. Let's start there." "And now let's start with the police detail you have. The 200 police detail you have. Let's start with that." "Because you Democrats and remember you told us to defund the police? Remember? You ran on that, remember?" "Let's start with that. Let's defund the police detail that YOU have, and let's put the police back in our neighborhoods because we're not for defunding the police. We need the police!" "So let's start with all the Democrats. Because y'all policy, which y'all push in our neighborhoods, defund the police." "So all y'all that got police details and got police presence around your house, let's start with cutting that." "That will save a lot of money." "So, won't you just practice what you preach?"

Nigger math is more atrocious than girl math.

 

[Betonhaus]

While the possibility of that is unbelievably slim, Canada would never allow their territory to go into the hands of America. Their whole history is "not being America." It would be not only an economic blow but a morale blow.

Well then maybe they should stop treating Alberta as a sugar daddy they can walk all over.

Secret Service agent fires gun outside Yellen’s home

Spoiler

A Secret Service agent opened fire after a confrontation with people trying to break into cars outside the Washington home of Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen Tuesday morning, according to an agency spokesperson.

There is “no evidence to indicate anyone was struck” by the gunfire during the incident, Secret Service communications chief Anthony Guglielmi said in a statement. He said there “was no threat to any protectees during this incident and no protectees were harmed.”

Guglielmi said a Secret Service special agent “working a protective assignment” on Yellen’s block in Northwest D.C. at about 1:30 a.m. on Tuesday observed “a sedan with multiple occupants who were attempting to open car doors along the street.”

“As the sedan approached the agent, a confrontation occurred between the agent and the car’s occupants,” Guglielmi said, and the agent then discharged their service weapon. “The suspects fled the scene in the sedan, and a lookout was issued to local law enforcement.”

It wasn’t immediately clear if Yellen was home at the time of the shooting. A Treasury Department spokesperson declined to comment.

The Secret Service said the Metropolitan Police Department’s internal affairs division was investigating the incident with the U.S. Attorney’s office in D.C.

The MPD referred comment to the Secret Service. The U.S. Attorney’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

It's not an insurrection, it's just a Tuesday in DC.

 

[The Last Stand]

You know if Trump annexes Canada, we'll have an increased influx of Indians.

 

[Not Really Here]

Alberta is clearly into Findom.

 

[WelperHelper99]

There is a movement in Alberta to separate from Canada, with polls getting 45-48% of people wanting to split. It isn't taken seriously because one look at the map would show that Alberta has no coast and so Canada and the US would have complete control over trade and transportation and BC wouldn't join Alberta and moving stuff through the territories would be a pain. But if an opportunity for Alberta to join the States then there would be a lot of momentum and people may actually go for it, and Alberta alone is a much easier sell. The population density is low enough that they won't infest the other states, and once they're naturalised then Saskatchewan and maybe Manitoba could be invited to k=join, giving America all the prairie provinces. it does fracture the country, with the Territories either joining the states or entering Russian control, BC becomes a vassal of China, and Canada continues to exist as a much smaller country that nobody cares about.

All the blue areas could become part of America with the red and green ignored.

You assume the annexation wouldn't displace the population in the inevitable violent conflict and reshape local politics. Either take it all or don't even try. Manifest destiny bitch

 

[Scale Smerch]

They could but that would seriously tip the balance of power in the Union which would get people really angry and lead to federal fuckery. Annexing Canada would need this sort of divisions to stop another Bleeding Kansas from happening over which side each state would go to. This would be the best split without having to remake the entire thing from scratch.

It's more nuanced than this since geographic size factors into matters as well. Both population and geographic size already ensure British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, and Quebec must become states, anything else starts messing with established regional trends between populations that would make the Rust Belt and the New York/Illinois situation look tame. The Maritimes needs condensing (PEI lol), but Newfoundland-Labrador is distinct enough and geographically isolated enough that it warrants being kept separate. Compare this to the Arctic territories which ironically could be left as is since their population size means treating them like Puerto Rico is perfectly valid.

The alternative approach is completely upending Canada's provincial structure by abandoning the existing province boundaries for something else, but that's a level of federal gerrymandering no one would want to touch in this climate. There's just no clean way to annex Canada in a way perfectly preserving Union balance, but that in of itself would be a great argument for realigning existing state boundaries and/or carving up existing states. For example would be one way to force Oregon to finally accept Greater Idaho as legitimate.

 

[X Prime]

Gentlemen, gentlemen.

We all know the correct approach to Canada.

 

[Anasûrimbor Kellhus]

I really love how Biden has single handedly brought the Democrat party to its lowest point in my life time. And all out of sheer old man spite. I don't see them recovering for 20-50 years, assuming they don't just disintegrate over the next few election cycles. This election was truly the most kino shit ever and it couldnt' have been done without ole' scranton joe.

Think about it without biden we'd have no biden debate sundown, no garbage truck, no kamala blowing 2.5 BILLION dollars, etc. And now democrats can NEVER complain about trump lies or trump misusing the presidency to benefit his family EVER AGAIN without having to eat massive crow now that the hunter pardon went down.

They don't have to. Take Utah as example. We were a territory longer than most due to disagreements with the feds. We met the qualifications for statehood while we were a territory, but the feds cock blocked us for a long time on legal grounds. They could do the same to Canada.

Eastern Washington and Oregon can be folded into Idaho, costal Washington, Oregon, and BC can be folded into one state called Cascadia. Can't leave British in the name.

I think one argument against annexing America's Hat that must be considered is that America would then border France.

You've discovered the Democrats' secret weakness, pointing out their hypocrisy.

Annexing Canada will be an ultimate win situation.

The jeets and the mexicans will finally fuck off.
Mega highway to Alaska
Empty land begging to get drilled into and filled with sheep and goats.

Bro the oil pipelines alone, without having to deal with two governments, will be amazing. Let's not even get started on the mining operations.

And yes, the jeets would flee once M1 Abrams started rolling over the border lol, no more gibs.

 

[The Ugly One]

I’d give your granny a break because WW2 was simply was romanticized as a battle of good vs evil and we just generally don’t like to just recognize it was always about control of Europe. Churchill didn’t want a New Austro-Hungarian empire.

Churchill didn't declare war on Germany. Chamberlain did, and it was only then that Chamberlain invited Churchill to rejoin the government. Churchill's didn't take over until after Chamberlain's disastrous attempt to defend Norway.

In 1936, Molotov told Churchill, who was not then part of the government, that Germany was planning to ethnically cleanse Poland and Belarus, and asked if Churchill would relay to the government his request for a free hand to do so and a promise to leave Britain alone if they agreed to look the other way. It wasn't just about territorial jockeying.

Well considering how fast Poland is falling, that might have been a mercy.

Not gonna lie, being able to drive up to Kavik River Camp without a passport sounds pretty dope.

 

[Hey Johnny Bravo]

I've got a few articles.

• From ABC: "US has 'grave concerns' as South Korea imposes, then overturns, martial law" (archive). Basically, the US is still wondering what the fuck just happened in South Korea. Biden is too busy being a veggie in Angola to properly respond to the situation. Personally, I don't know enough about South Korea to comment other than "South Korea is fucking weird." Almost every English-speaking news site I checked is talking about the situation in South Korea.
• From ABC: "Daniel Penny jury begins deliberations in chokehold death of Jordan Neely" (archive). A jury is deliberating whether Penny, the Marine who saved people from a psycho homeless nigger on a NYC subway, should get in trouble. In a just world, Penny would not even be on trial. He's a modern-day Bernie Goetz, as far as I'm concerned.
• I looked at MSNBC so you don't have to and it's all lies about Pete Hegseth.
• From PBS: "Why so many Americans are dissatisfied with the seemingly solid economy" (archive). This one amuses me to no end because it's literally the same shit we've been told for years about how the economy is so great, but Americans are too dumb to realize it. It makes me wonder how long TPTB will run with this shit after it cost them a serious electoral loss this year.
• From NPR: "J. Edgar Hoover's biographer weighs in on Trump's pick to lead the FBI" (archive). This is from NPR and the headline speaks for itself. Basically, the lefties are comparing Kash Patel to J. Edgar Hoover and are going to start shitting on the FBI again.
• I checked The Atlantic and it's a bunch of articles about the patriarchy and how women now run away from men since the election. Good Lord.
• Now the top story from my favorite, The Hill: "McConnell cries foul after 2 Democratic judges cancel retirement after Trump victory" (archive). Mitch McConnell is throwing a flag because two Democrat-appointed federal judges are reversing their retirement after the election. For all the shit McConnell gets, rightly and wrongly, he has been pretty good about addressing judicial concerns for the GOP. It sounds like he may be preparing GOP lawyers to address the issue since it is, apparently, the first time in US history that federal judges unretired like this after an election didn't go their way.
