Imagine if billionaires paid taxes instead of donating millions to political campaigns.

If I was in the Trump adminstration I would be very worried about setting the precedent of public firing squad executions for serious crimes like treason

The price of diesel isn't a big deal. Prices are crashing tomorrow. The striat is wide open and the US is fully in control. But ALSO trying to shave a few pointa off the price is worth sacrificing the Ukrainian people. Okay then.

I used to coach my kids in sports. I would tell them to play like it is 0-0. If you feel like you have a big lead and take your foot off the gas, it's how you lose. Doesn't matter what the polls say. Dems have to play like it's 0-0.

I told my boys, "Listen, I don't care if she is giving consent. If you treat a woman like she is a piece of meat for the pleasure of you and your buddies, you are a piece of shit and I'll disown you."

I have heard that if the government raises taxes on the rich, they will just move to another country. I doubt they would. But even if they did, they aren't contributing here so let them leave.

Trump is angry with Canada for trying to diversify its trade and talking to Europe. What a betrayal it is. Then he says he is going to not buy Canadian potash and get it instead from Belarus. Which is under sanctions. And doesn't have any to spare. Canada goes to Europe so he goes to dictators. Hmmm

One of Trumps favourite things to do is say "people are saying..." then make some ridiculous statement. I suggest reporters take the same approach. "People are saying you wear a diaper/ People are saying you are mentally deranged/ People are saying you have a small penis. Do you have a comment?"

Here is how the WH press room works these days. Suck up journalists ask softball questions to praise Trump. Serious journalists ask serious questions and get yelled at or lied to. Serious media shows they are lies. People say "of course they are lying" or "fake news" depending on their intellect.

I do not understand why Trump is so concerned about getting his name on the Kennedy Center. Sure he can enjoy it for a couple years. But does he actually think it (or any other 'legacy monuments') he creates for himself will last 5 minutes after he leaves office?

The day is coming when the media will stop reporting on Trumps crazy rants, when his 3am postings won't rock world markets and when the only thing he says that will matter to anyone is "guilty" or "not guilty".

So Trump is threatening tariffs if Canada and Europe get too close. But tell us again how Canadian officials were lying about the reason trade talks broke down and you would never try to dictate to Canada who they could trade with.

If I was Donald Trump... well... yeah... anyways, I would place a very very high tariff on mirrors. I would do whatever I could to try to prevent my followers from looking in one and perhaps seeing what they had become.

I support restricting voting rights. There should be a set of skill testing questions. 1) if someone lies to you 100 times, are they a)less likely to lie again or b)more likely to lie again. 2) Do you think you are getting $5k? a) yes b) no. If you answer 'a' you are too dumb (dumb with a b) to vote

Trump lackeys like Kushner talk about how to make the peace in Ukraine a "win-win", saying that's how to get conflict ended. But for US/Iran, they seem determined to make it "win-lose". Same with Canada/US trade war. Also they are so bad at it, they seem determined to make sure the US is the loser.

Promising each person $5k is like me telling my wife I am going to give her $5k and put it on our joint credit card. Maybe she can use it to get a new car because I pushed ours off a cliff for fun. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, Darling!

The Canadian response to US tariffs is to tariff specifc US goods which minimize impact on Canadians, hit red districts hardest and then use the funds raised to help industries hurt by US tariffs. This is what a strategy looks like. From the US side? Where are the revenues going?

Northern22 @northern22.bsky.social · 08/09/2026
Trumps lackeys say Canada's unwillingness to accept a bad trade deal is for 'political reasons'. Mr. Carney has a majority government does not need to face an election until 2029. He can do what we wants until then. However, I think the fact Canadians are really pissed at Trump and the US does help.

It is a fact of history that dictators and corrupt politicans tend not to have a quiet, peaceful retirement. Any laws they pass granting themsleves immunity don't last long when a new administration comes in.

The Trump era, like all things, will pass. However, it is going to pass like a kidney stone because he isn't going quietly.

They say Ms.Harp only gives Trump good news and biased polling. If that is the case, I am grateful to her. He is sterering the GOP ship right at the iceburg and the last thing we need is for him to realize it and change course. "You're doing great! Full steam ahead Jackass!"

There is a small part of me that wishes I was American so that I could vote against Trump and his lackeys. Admittedly it's a very small part of me because I like my free health care and not worrying about my kids getting gunned down at school. But nevertheless it would feel nice to vote against HIM.

Northern22 @northern22.bsky.social · 28/08/2026
I am appalled by the lack of gratitude by Mr.Carney. Has he said 'thank you' once to President Trump? After all, the President has made Canada a hero internationally and driven national pride through the roof. Personally, Mr.Trump has made Carney look like a genius and true leader. So ungrateful.

I find odd that Trump has a bust of Churchill in his office yet he is baffled and has a hissy fit when people don't just surrender to him.

Trump talks about who has the 'cards' and, admittedly, the US has good ones. But, he doesn't get his opponents see the game differently. They won't 'fold' when he bluffs. They can't. Survival depends on it. Trump also can't say 'I won' and walk away. Plus he's playing "Old Maid" at the poker table.

I am 6'2. My wife is 5'4. I am clealy taller than her. I help her by reaching things she can't. No problem. There are people that are less intelligent. The problem is they don't know it. They don't want 'help' understanding things. They're short people convinced they are taller than everyone else.

In this trade war, Canada doesn't have to destroy the US economy. It doesn't need to cost good Americans their jobs nor should it. All Canada needs to do is hurt GOP election chances. Make it clear who is to blame for this trade war and deny Trump a win. We don't need to outlast the US, just Donald.

How can anyone consider Trump a 'master deal maker'? Give me everything I want in exchange for nothing is not 'deal making'. It's a child having a tantrum. Greenland, Iran, Canada, Ukraine. When someone says 'no, we will not surrender' he seems baffled. It's all or nothing and, mostly, it's nothing.

Donlad Trump says Canada wants the benefits of being a state without becoming one. I am not sure what 'the benefits of being a state' are. Unaffordable health care? Tax cuts for the rich? High costs from tariffs? The rest of the world mad at you? War? ICE? A jackass for President. Um. No thanks.

As a Canadian, I am willing to allow Americans to pay 50% more for our goods if it helps keep us free from Donald Trump.

Canada make a deal with the US putting US alcohol back on the shelves, lets US goods in with no tariff, gives US milk and cheese access to our markets. I still won't be buying any of it. I'll look for Canadian, Mexican, European made. That isn't a government policy. It is me sick of Trumps antics.

I don't understand the posts I am seeing here complaining that Trump was at a UFC fight during negotiations. Do you WANT him involved? If he spent every waking hour (however many THAT is) on the golf course ignoring his duties, the US and the world would be MUCH better off. PLEASE, JUST GO GOLFING!

I haven't read The Art of the Deal because... why would I? But is there a chapter on throwing a tandrum if your opponent won't do exactly what you tell them to do while you are actively trying to kill them? Is Chapter 3 "Winning through Begging"?
