Y'all must be just so proud....

Yup, absolutely disgraceful for the leader of a country. You can't buy class. AND - where is the outrage from his supporters? I used to read on these pages the outrage from the right about the US getting involved in foreign country's affairs. NOW we have a president having a hissy fit because he didn't get a peace prize so he is threatening the invasion of another country! That is the height of lunacy and where is the outrage from the right. As I said, you can't buy class.

Spook, don't confuse them with facts. They are still waiting for that cheque from Mexico for the wall!

Luke, are you suggesting that a group of world renown economists might have a better understanding of economics than Cubs? How dare you Sir.

When you said "Meanwhile, absolutely nothing domestic, internally, in each country involved in this political menage, is by now getting any attention, is getting adressed, discussed, nor fixed or solved! - And that's the real calamity!" That is the true damage Trump is doing. But now he has gone off the rails to the point where he just looks like some nut case.

Trump threatens war because he didn't get the Nobel Peace Prize. Anyone here not see the irony? And some here still don't doubt his sanity? What does it take to invoke article 25? PS. This is real, not some internet joke. But nice to see his efforts are so altruistic and patriotic.

Yeah, but Vlad and Xi are Donnie's best friends and everything he is presently doing is to their advantage. That's what happens when leaders meet behind closed doors and agree on how to divide up the world between them. "Vlad, you take the Ukraine and do what you want with Europe. Xi, you can have Taiwan, the Philippines and do what you want with Japan and I'll take the Caribbean, Greenland and Canada. We can discuss the rest of the world after I get the Peace Prize"

Boy, that's rich calling others liars coming from a Trump supporter.

Just wondering what independent source provided those stats?

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me. —Martin Niemöller Just sayin'

Principles and facts? So Sweet, let me try to explain a few things to you. First, that quote of yours was from nearly a year ago. Things have drastically changed in the world since then. Try to keep up. Secondly, Donald Trump has made it very clear that he would like to annex Canada. In an effort to do so he is trying to make it difficult economically for Canada and he has made it very clear the United States does not want to do business with Canada. Therefore, Canada has suddenly been put in a position where it must look for new trading partners to replace the US. Obviously, choices of potential trading partners is limited. Therefore, it is Donald Trump who has put Canada in a position where it does not have the luxury to pick and chose what countries it does business with and China is one of the obvious choices. But as far as Canada doing business with China - those "fascist dictators" - is concerned, well surprise surprise! Total Canada-China trade is just a tiny fraction of US-China trade. So when you say ... "So he goes and makes deal with an actual dictator, and a country which is far closer to be fascist than the US, and everyone is clapping like seals." ... perhaps you should look in your own back yard before climbing up on your pulpit to express your "holier than thou" opinions. When criticizing Canada for dealing with China, you might want to actually fact check which countries are really doing the most business with your "fascists and dictators". Canada doesn't even register..........

Yeah, just thought the subject was more related to this thread/topic.

Really? The US decides they no longer want to trade with Canada and thereby puts Canada in a position of having to scramble to seek other trading partners and you think Canada should have Trump's approval on the country's trading partners?

Anyone have an idea for a one day drop of over $100? FFH −$133.83 (5.21%) $2,436.42 Pretty nasty one day drop. Brett Horn at work?

Kinda agree with this point of view. I used to have a one hour commute and I would listen to FOX in the morning and CNN in the evening, just to balance the propaganda. The Politics section can be somewhat mind broadening, and it does help see where some posters are coming from and their perspectives / prejudices when they post on financial matters and stocks.

Congrats! And "no" it doesn't matter. Just be glad they were born where they were.

There are a few Heinz Pickles on this board staunchly holding forth for the right. Those Heinz pickles will attempt to justify anything and everything that Trump and his Storm Troopers do. Why is there is little sense in arguing with a Heinz Pickle? YOU ................................... Fill in the blank.

Okay. Don't answer the question. That is an answer in itself.

Yes but Cubs, you didn't answer the question. You stated: "Since when is running over law enforcement not a deadly threat?" If that were true........... 1) How did the officer fire two rounds through the side window if he was "run over"? 2) IF, as you say, "he was run over", how is it possible he was still standing as the car went past him? Have you not seen the video ? Or do you simply spout the administration's fabrications?

...and the other rounds?

If he was run over, how was he able to fire shots through the side window?

I saw some trades like that go through, I think on Friday. Looked strange to me when the trading price was around $2026 but a few shares traded at exactly $2700 and thinking I must remember to remind myself not to put in buy orders without a limit price. Kinda strange?

Agreed. He would do his best to economically strangle us and reduce opposition to the idea. But Canada is a huge, well educated country and a lot of Canadians would simply not stand for it. Look at how many small countries have successfully kicked the US out of their countries. I mean if you can't even handle Afghanistan ......

Haha!! Good one!
