Its a win because anybody with a shred of common sense knows those companies would've either charged it back to the canadian consumer or cut the service off from Canada entirely. But yeah, you could see it like that, but i choose to see it differently. I see it as a win for the Canadians that got frogmarched into this bs and a huge loss to the "elbows up" crowd as they watch somebody the msm labeled as an idiot absolutely decimate their " central banker masterful negotiator" as they seethe and cope when they figure out they were essentially scammed. Watching Carney get torn apart in negotiations is what the elbows up crowd deserves. We were warned for the past decade to diversify trade, but the maple fucktards in the east wereall gungho to keep Canada's trade heavily reliant on the U.S.

And then they wonder why western Canada wants to separate.
If I were an enterprising imperialist with the presidency these are conditions that are almost perfect for a takeover of Canada when you think about it. A segment of the country would probably welcome it, others could be bought off (Quebecians/Native tribes) and any problem element that wont buy in would be comparatively easier to deal with after

Since Canada is a multicultural society that means they can be easily divided and ruled.
 

Bush and Obama fault Trump’s gutting of USAID on agency’s last day​

Former Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush delivered rare open criticism of the Trump administration – and singer Bono held back tears as he recited a poem – in an emotional video farewell on Monday with staffers of the US Agency for International Development.

Obama called the Trump administration’s dismantling of USAID “a colossal mistake.”

Monday was the last day as an independent agency for the six-decade-old humanitarian and development organization, created by former President John F. Kennedy as a peaceful way of promoting US national security by boosting goodwill and prosperity abroad.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has ordered USAID absorbed into the State Department on Tuesday.

The former presidents and Bono spoke with thousands in the USAID community in a video conference, which was billed as a closed-press event to allow political leaders and others privacy for sometimes angry and often teary remarks. Parts of the video were shared with The Associated Press.

They expressed their appreciation for the thousands of USAID staffers who have lost their jobs and life’s work. Their agency was one of the first and most fiercely targeted for government-cutting by President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk, with staffers abruptly locked out of systems and offices and terminated by mass emailing.

Trump claimed the agency was run by “radical left lunatics” and rife with “tremendous fraud.” Musk called it “a criminal organization.”

Obama, speaking in a recorded statement, offered assurances to the aid and development workers, some listening from overseas.

“Your work has mattered and will matter for generations to come,” he told them.

Obama has largely kept a low public profile during Trump’s second term and refrained from criticizing the monumental changes that Trump has made to US programs and priorities at home and abroad.

“Gutting USAID is a travesty, and it’s a tragedy. Because it’s some of the most important work happening anywhere in the world,” Obama said. He credited USAID with not only saving lives, but being a main factor in global economic growth that has turned some aid-receiving countries into US markets and trade partners.

The former Democratic president predicted that ”sooner or later, leaders on both sides of the aisle will realize how much you are needed.”

Asked for comment, the State Department said it would be introducing the department’s foreign assistance successor to USAID, to be called America First, this week.

“The new process will ensure there is proper oversight and that every tax dollar spent will help advance our national interests,” the department said.

USAID oversaw programs around the world: providing water and life-saving food to millions uprooted by conflict in Sudan, Syria, Gaza and elsewhere; sponsoring the “Green Revolution” that revolutionized modern agriculture and curbed starvation and famine; preventing disease outbreaks; promoting democracy; and providing financing and development that allowed countries and people to climb out of poverty.

Bush, who also spoke in a recorded message, went straight to the cuts in a landmark AIDS and HIV program started by his Republican administration and credited with saving 25 million lives around the world.

Bipartisan blowback from Congress to cutting the popular President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief, known as PEPFAR, helped save significant funding for the program. But cuts and rule changes have reduced the number getting the life-saving care.

“You’ve showed the great strength of America through your work – and that is your good heart,’’ Bush told USAID staffers. “Is it in our national interests that 25 million people who would have died now live? I think it is, and so do you,” he said.

Former Liberian President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, former Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos and former US Ambassador to the U.N. Linda Thomas-Greenfield also spoke to the staffers.

So did humanitarian workers, including one who spoke of the welcome appearance of USAID staffers with food when she was a frightened 8-year-old child in a Liberian refugee camp. A World Food Program official vowed through sobs that the US aid mission would be back someday.

Bono, a longtime humanitarian advocate in Africa and elsewhere, was announced as the “surprise guest,” in shades and a cap.

He jokingly hailed the USAID staffers as “secret agents of international development” in acknowledgment of the down-low nature of Monday’s unofficial gathering of the USAID community.

Bono held back tears at times as he recited a poem he had written to the agency and its gutting. He spoke of children dying of malnutrition, a reference to millions of people who Boston University researchers and other analysts say will die because of the US cuts to funding for health and other programs abroad.

“They called you crooks. When you were the best of us,” Bono said.

The Trump admin needs a Hail Mary yesterday. Otherwise all of us will be rotting in prison for life in six years for hate speech.
Elon may be a weirdo.
And yeah, I don’t like that he wants more jeets.

(THOUGH IF YOU LAZY FUCKS GOT OUT AND KNOCKED UP SOME BROADS, maybe he wouldn’t have to!)

But at least he’s doing something about getting rid of these RINO fucks.

PRIMARY THEM ALL ELON!

While Trump pals around with snakes like Thune who picked BBB apart, at least Elon is trying to change shit.

Elon is doing nothing besides trying to get more for himself and has zero understanding of how you get anything done in politics tbh. He self admitted to wanting to be liked by the dems again so basically he wants to go back to being on the front page of reddit every day in a positive way instead of as Hitler.

RINOs don't go away because deep red states are dumb as fuck so you either get a RINO or a Libertarian who doesn't do shit besides give dems wins. Elon is going to fund infinite pajeet "based" libertarians who will balance the budget by letting a billion pajeets in. Only thing that matters at all in the BBB is immigration funding the rest is shit theres a limit to what they can even put in it due to it being reconciliation anyways.
 
You know, there are some users that I feel a lot of people are fond of, like Otterly or Gehenna (RIP). Maybe burger boy is one of them in a weird way.
Fatpacks embracing the burger suit was what turned him from a doomer that everyone thought was annoying to OUR GUY tm

He also took a lot of Ls when Trump entered office which resulted in him becoming the Reverse Oracle.

I was mostly a lurker during the burger suit arc but it was amazing. Probably the threads finest.
 
I wish @Fatpacks would tell me I'll die broke and unloved in the next ten minutes so I could see my bank account balance jump up by ten figures and skip going to work tonight.

Shit, ol Fatpacks here may be a bit repetitive with the doom pilling, but he’s also fucking right.

Everything MAGA in that bill got SNIP, cut the fuck out.

It’s another raising of the debt ceiling, another bill that might as well have been passed under Biden.
 
Most of the RINO's are in districts where a strong conservative doesn't stand a chance so either live with the RINO who votes with you 8 in 10 times or get a Dem.
Graham, Tillis, Burr, Cornyn, Lee, Scott, etc. All are in blood red electorates.

The reason that some of the worst RINOs are in those blood red seats is because are blood red seats. Republic voters don't bother to vote in the primaries, "because the republican is going to win." so you en up with the worst possible person in the seat for decades straight.

Yes $90 Billion or whatever for immigration would pass under Biden lol. Debt ceiling is not real please stop pretending it's anything besides a cudgel for the losing party to use to call the party in power bad but is only ever used against Republicans. This is easily the most "MAGA" thing since the time of Nixon that will pass.

Stop being so blackpilled holy fuck almost everything going on right now is theater anyways for each sides bases.
 
Man WHY where illegals even on Medicaid on the first place?

People really need to start calling Republicans Senators faggots to their face cause they let a white women libtard defeat their own bill.
The theory is it is cheaper to give them some kind of healthcare lest they all flounder until it becomes an ER problem which is much more expensive and society says we must treat regardless of origins.

Who is this person and where does this power come from? I’ve never heard of this shit.
 
Graham, Tillis, Burr, Cornyn, Lee, Scott, etc. All are in blood red electorates.
Tillis barely won his last election by less than 2%. There are no Burrs in the Senate. The Dems didn't even nominate anyone to run against Mike Lee in Utah and he still only got 53% of the vote. Graham and Lee are both S. Carolina and something is def wrong with that state.

So my point stands, it's either a RINO or a Dem in most of these places.
