Now that the wolf in sheep’s clothing has finally emerged for his congregation (Canadian MAGA) to finally see him for who he truly is, can we let them in on the secret of “who” truly is down with Trump Derangement Syndrome? Or don’t bother?

It's not all black and white like you view things. Trump did a lot of good when he first came in, but now he has completely gone off the rails. I look at things on an issue by issue basis, you should try it.

If Canada handles this wisely, and with a degree of efficiency, Trump could end up being the best thing to happen to us in a long time. It won’t come without some economic pains, but long term it could be good.

Most of the Republican Party leadership with few exceptions understand that Putin is the enemy and should be tried for war crimes, but they are afraid of Trump and his influence on the MAGA base...

That's why you have an alter universe where a Rubio will say one thing in public for the benefit of Trump and say something totally different in private away from Trumps ears...

Interesting that you know what "most of the Republican Party leadership" want.

Also interesting that you know what Rubio says in private... yet Trump doesn't.

Take Care

Do you disagree?

Clearly.

But more importantly, I clearly disagree with presenting one's opinions as fact...

More from the clownshow, who's defining 'illegal' ?

Trump posted: ‘All federal funding will STOP for any college, school, or university that allows illegal protests. Agitators will be imprisoned or permanently sent back to the country from which they came. American students will be permanently expelled or, depending on the crime, arrested. NO MASKS!’

'Tis the law of the land that is defining 'illegal'.

Are you unaware of the illegalities these schools have let slide?

Trespass, burglary, barring other students from campus buildings.

Occupation of buildings, destruction of property.

Threats against/assault on Jewish students.

Physical confrontations galore.

Americans are sick of dat dere.

Clearly Donald is not talking about peaceful demonstrations.

The Don is simply keeping his campaign promises...

Listening to Doug Ford and his private conversations with Congressmen and Senators and business leaders this morning should remove any question over fact vs opinion...

The United States has banned Britain from sharing intelligence from Washington with Ukraine as part of its withdrawal of support for Volodymyr Zelensky.

Donald Trump's decision to freeze American military aid to Kyiv yesterday brought warnings that Ukraine could run out of weapons in as little as two to three months' time.

But on top of missiles and ammunition, all UK intelligence agencies and military outlets also received an order expressly forbidding the sharing of US-generated intelligence, previously known as 'Rel UKR' - short for Releasable to Ukraine'.

Europeans are fueling Russia’s war effort through gas purchases while militaries wither

Europeans are boasting about plans for a greater role in aiding Ukraine in its war with Russia and taking on their own security, but they continue to drink down Russian oil as they may be allowing their own militaries to become weak and severely depleted.

In the fallout from the Oval Office fracas between President Donald Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, European countries led by France and the United Kingdom have proposed unilaterally shouldering a greater defense burden and supporting Ukraine in its war with Russia.

However, despite supposedly hard-hitting sanctions and tough talk towards Russia, Europe’s lack of adherence when it comes to Russia’s energy industry is mismatched with its rhetoric. A recent study found that Europe’s purchases of Russian oil and gas in 2024 eclipsed its total financial aid to Ukraine that same year.

^ Yes, I should have quoted Topper's post and then added that link.

Apparently former President of Poland and legendary freedom fighter Lech Walesa wrote the following letter to Trump:

Your Excellency, Mr. President,

...

...

We call on the United States to uphold the guarantees made alongside Great Britain in the 1994 Budapest Memorandum, which established a direct obligation to defend Ukraine’s territorial integrity in exchange for its relinquishment of nuclear weapons. These guarantees are unconditional

Signed,

Lech Wałęsa, former political prisoner, President of Poland

That is not what the Budapest Memorandum states.

Is it going to be one of those deals where Canada's concession is something that was previously announce and happening anyway, lol? I'd rather they have no deal and let the Americans get what they voted for, good and hard. I can do without the OJ.

Meanwhile over in Europe the markets have taken a significant upswing with record climbs almost weekly led by defence and construction stocks...

European stocks have been among the best performers in the world this year with 9 of the top 10 performers on the MSCI World Index and the euro has seen a strong recovery...

One defence stock has seen a nearly 200% gain...

Always big winners in the game of war...
