Carney’s Checkmate: How Canada's Quiet Bond Play Forced Trump to Drop Tariffs open.substack.com/pub/deanblun...

As a Canadian I am really pxxsed off at Pierre Poilievre for running ads claiming Mark Carney would be weak against Trump. Really? From a guy ENDORSED by Trump and Elon Musk? He really must think we are stupid with such obvious total BS.

I am no fan of the CIA or the FBI. But the purge of thousands of FBI agents and offering buyouts to everyone at the CIA is an open invitation to terror attacks. And the idea of sending troops to Gaza is madness. Wake up America!

Here’s a real opportunity for Canada, Mexico and the Blue States. Create a NAU (North American Union) between Canada, Mexico and those states with universal health care and no trade barriers. Let Trump rule the red states.

@JustinTrudeau To counter Trump’s “51st state” BS, let’s propose adding the states from Washington to California on the west coast; Minnesota, Illinois, Colorado and New Mexico in the middle and New York to Virginia in the east to form the most properous country in the world.

Time for Democrats and other non-Trumpers to start planning multiple challenges to any moves Trump makes that violate the constitution. Force SCOTUS to face the music on whether it’s still in force.

#SCOTUS A question that will have to be decided in Trump’s first few months; SCOTUS may have given him immunity from prosecution for official acts, but does that mean he can completely ignore the constitution?

If this doesn’t show what really went on election day then nothing does. Biden needs to pardon more people and act to protect immigrants before the inauguration. www.instagram.com/reel/DDIgAji...

Time magazine has it right. After 45 years of Cold War and 34 of “free market victory”, this is just going to go unchallenged?

Surely someone in the intelligence community must have evidence of Russia fixing the election for Trump with Musk’s help? Is this just going to be allowed, seriously?

#tariffs In response to Trump levying 25%tariffs against Canada, Trudeau should propose open borders and free trade with blue states on the west and east coasts, leaving the red states to Trump.

#Fascism All these cable shows speculating about hearings on Trump’s nominees.. stop fooling yourselves and your viewers. There aren’t going to be any. Trump will be dictator not just on day one, but from then on

The US was never a real democracy. Slavery continued for 89 years after 1776. Segregation persisted for 100 years after that. In 1968 a Commission said white racism caused the race riots of the 60’s. /1

#Recount2024 @maddow @Lawrence @MSNBC @JoyAnnReid which of you, if any, will take up the call for recounts/audits in the swing states?

#Recount2024 Either Harris and or Biden are just going to continue rolling over under Trump, proving US democracy was likely a sham all along, or they are going to stand up and call for election audits in swing states. Don’t hold your breath

#America I am really starting to believe that after the first year of Trump’s 2nd term, Americans will start recoiling at the negativity, violence and nastiness he is about to unleash, and this will lead to his colossal failure.

What kind of democratic country allows its election to be disrupted by bomb threats from a foreign adversary and does not investigate a highly questionable vote count in several states? The USA

@stevenbeschloss.bsky.social Steven, are you in favor of a recount or forensic audit, given all the “irregularities” surrounding the vote?

@aoc.bsky.social What do you think about asking for a recount or forensic audit? Are you up for it?
