Wow, think of all the profit being made on the interest, not to mention the profit being made on the clinics and hospitals and the pharmaceuticals. A great system that benefits everyone except ordinary Americans at whose expense it runs.

Funny, it’s exactly what Putin said about Ukraine. That and “It’s not a real country,” which Elon Musk recently said of Canada.

I’m boycotting Amazon and other US companies as much as I can until the USA backs off from plotting to seize my country and torment (or worse) my trans relatives and friends. No more purchases from US companies; no more subscriptions to US services; no more investments in US funds.

And control of all this water, important strategically for Russia, I mean the USA. And Russia.

It’s good for those who profit from manipulating markets though.

Vivaldi is a very good browser, but if you want to support open web standards it would be better to use a non-Chromium-based browser like one of the Firefox derivatives. Also Vivaldi is closed source. Still, I do like Vivaldi.

Canada, please do the same.

Or can he promise one positive thing for Canada? All I hear is “I’m not Trudeau” and attacks on the Liberal leadership candidates. Poilievre doesn’t appear to have any interest in actual government.

Then again, Ontario elected Doug Ford’s Conservatives three times in a row without them telling anyone what they planned to do. People are weird.

Canada should take advantage of this situation to hire US scientists and doctors too.

Same reason they talk about Elon Musk and Steve Bannon’s strange and mysterious extension of the right arm palm down at a 45 degree angle.

Russia played the long game and now owns the USA. And thanks to that, it threatens all of Europe and Canada.

Or maybe they just can’t help being total assholes 24/7.

When it comes to the protests against Israel’s genocide, the track record of US universities is not good. Universities have been so terrified of losing lucrative Israel-connected sponsorship that they are the first to call for harsh punishments for the students. So I wouldn’t count on university administrations to push back hard against this assault on free speech, rather than taking it out on the students.

I guess this is a joke, but it’s dangerous because any conspiracy theory can find many people who take it seriously these days.

If there’s one thing they’re clear about it’s their intention to destroy the USA so the remains can be picked over by billionaires and Trump gets in Putin’s good books.

At some point, Europe has to start wondering whether it’s really such a good thing to have US military bases all over their continent.

Very detailed. Are you, by any chance, a mob boss or their accountant?

Trump voters just hear “foreigners bad”.

Categorizing inconvenient people as mentally ill so you can lock them up is a common trick for authoritarian regimes. This one seems worryingly plausible.

It is for most people. For narcissists and sociopaths the calculation works differently.
