Note that prior to 2012, he and the Clintons were thick as thieves. https://www.elitedaily.com/news/politics/donald-trump-hillary-clinton-friends/1619008

There is SNAP funding.

Even the Republicans ensured that there was 5 Billion Dollars prepared to ensure that SNAP funding could not easily run out.

It is being Withheld by Trump

Incidentally, Hegseth is requiring all US military generals to meet with him in person next week.

A retired general has directly compared it to when Hitler’s fuckups forced the german generals and admiralty to re-swear their oath of service, in person, from the original oath to the country and new oath directly to Hitler.

Its purely a dictator thing.

Based on the rumour that Barron Trump is autistic, my partner pointed out that it may be why Trump is so desperate for an external cause.

Tip to writers.

Please don’t use regional persian slang for bribe when trying to sound sophisticated.

Now its time for Canada to come down with a 100% export tariff on Potash.

Putin is, backed by Trump’s big oil owners, for different reasons.

Hungary, via Orban, will never give on his master Putin. As Hungary is a NATO member, this is a completely empty threat.

If Europe does give up Russian oil, the logical alternative is US oil. Thus enriching the US at Europe’s expense. Then the next goalpost he’s already revealed would be punishing tariffs on China, in another attempt to enslave Europe to the US orbit.

What really needs to happen is Carney needs to go 200% on Energy East(in Canada). Get as many pipelines to the Maritimes and build the best oil port we can there, catching up on 18 years of ignoring that part of the country. Europe needs oil and LNG and Canada has everything they need.

Nah. By raw resources i mean:

• Bitumen, gets mixed with top grade crude oil and water to make pretty good grade crude oil.
• raw logs: the entire “softwood lumber dispute” is that rich US companies want unfettered access to Canadian raw logs, because Canadian labour laws make them pay people too much. There was never anything beyond that.
• minerals: see the mines that companies and China are either opening or trying to open in Canada, the US and Europe with the goal of shipping raw resources offshore, making stuff them selling our own resources back to us at an extreme markup.

The game now is different:

1. Take raw resources from wealthy countries.
2. Ship them to places with little to no labour laws, environmental protection or minimum wages(US, Malaysia, Philippines, China)
3. Process them there, pocketing the extra money made.
4. Ship the finished products back to developed countries.

Actually, a few times:

1. Prior to the seven years war, the governor of Virginia was so openly corrupt the other colonies refused to official business with the colony, as he would just assign the contracts to his firms and run away with any money.

After the seven years war, leading up to the US revolution, things were very heated. Mostly from: 2a. Rich colonials defrauding British banks via loan fraud. 2b. Rich people then using said funds to buy up the available land, driving prices out of reqch of the regular colonials. 2c. Rich colonials got really pissy that the stamp act was going to prevent them from executing loan fraud. 2d. Rich colonialists astroturfing imaginary support for motiona and even faking riots to make it look like they had popular support. (Note that this was so faked that English speaking Canada became a thing out of this.) 3. The only land they would give to the poor people was in the strictly off limits Ohio Valley as that land was seen as native land in tha ks for them winning the war in North America for England. Neither the natives or the crown soldiers stood for this, but it was paid for by the rich colonials en mass, so was functionally unstoppable.

About 50 to 100 years later: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mason–Dixon_line the Mason-Dixie line became a thing and the two sides fought to gerrymander support for slavery/freedom. Which ended causing the US civil war.

Come back to this level of lunacy.

The US has been here before.

I believe that it was under him that the city privatized homeless shelters in the city.

Oddly enough, most of those lucrative private contracts went to private shelters owned by him and his wife.

See the oil industry and their lie about Methane(sorry, “Natural Gas”) being a “transition fuel”

Because the mask is slipping. At town halls across the GOP strongholds in the US, people are finally being angry at the GOP.

They’re scared.

If the US doesnt drop the tariffs quickly, the world is actively working on new deals that remove the US entirely from the world stage.

Like how Japan is dropping US lumber and LNG for Canada’s offerings.

Or how Japan and South Korea are offering their military hardware to Australia and Canada.

Or how Toyota is opening a new plant in Canada

All of the “deals” he has are just meaningless letters of agreement that placate him while the real work happens.

Purely hypothetically, you’d likely get the same kind of split and games that were pulled in the leadup to the Civil War with the whole Mason-Dixie line thing. With likely the same resulting consequences.

Just now nuclear and biological and chemical weapons exist and weapons are incomparably more dangerous

Yup, sorry, don’t actually know how this was posted as it wasn’t done.
