Don't know if death is necessary, but full seizure of his assets would knock off quite a few problems.

Not to forget the emphasis on the point on the HUGE legal and bureaucratic effort and expense it would take for Canadians to be *willingly* annexed... Which then leads to the question as to what a hostile annexation would look like (hint it's not pretty).

Let's see how he reacts to the markets.... Uhm.... "adjusting" to this

The concern is more on what he'd do when his leaky brain figures that out.

Yeah I can see that. Surely grok is smart enough to determine the value of a public servant's job. /s

This meme?

Probably why the RP is climbing in the polls at the Tories expense.

I'm not really understanding why. I'm aware of the sexual reference it has, but to me it's as questionable as more traditional phrases, e.g. brown-nosing.

In France, this is mostly due to the collapse in popularity of the centre right parties (and yes, some components of the centre right definitely tried to play footsies with the RN, but not all of them).
comment in response to post
Part of the problem is that RN is far right, not just "right".

I mean, reading comprehension on the meaning of "raising prospects" is kind of on the reader.

Call it Musk's Faux-tism.

What is funny is that everytime he's done this, the Conservatives lose points in the polls.

Setting aside the 2026 question, there are some leading political scientists who are very pessimistic about the state of American democracy. www.theunpopulist.net/p/trumps-ame...

Or, you know, hockey players are generally very much red-pilled.
comment in response to post
In European soccer, many clubs even have a political trait (whether left or right) either in the club's creation or through its history. And of course, organized groups of fans there can be heavily politically motivated.
comment in response to post
Not just that, but hockey players on the whole are very red-pilled.

Trizzy Train? I don't understand what that means.

538 employs a model that includes prior polls, so it's slower to adjust to an evolution in sentiment. I'd expect it would need another couple of weeks of negative poll results before it's reflected there.

As a Canadian, you people are sending us a lot of mixed signals right now.

Any cause.

The picture is far more complex than that. He is not "worshipped", more seen as one of the most important figures in French history, who has a huge impact on French life to this day (e.g. the Napoleonic Code). Only place I'd say he's worshipped would be in Corsica. yougov.co.uk/internationa...

Do you expect every single post to be a philosophical epiphany?
