Latest ADP job figures say Travel and Hospitality industry lost 19,000 jobs in September alone. No one that doesn't have to, should be travelling to the U.S. anymore, 19,000 down is just the start.

Looks like the counties that grow the soybeans were pretty solid Trump regime voters... oh well. I'm sure they weren't surprised by this outcome.

The Trump regime behaves as if there is no downside to how it is treating its' trading partners. What is not reflected in the trade balances is the 40% of large U.S. corporate revenue that is derived from non-U.S. sales. Want to cause change in U.S. policy... stop doing business with U.S. companies.

Not as great as the U.S. will be in 3 years if the Congress and SCOTUS don't start honouring their oath to obey the Constitution.

Unfortunately, we must face the fact that 1/3 of registered voters support the GOP agenda and another 1/3 didn't care enough to even vote in the most consequential U.S. presidential election since WW2. The majority of U.S. voters actively or tacitly supported the Trump regime re-election.

The regime that let loose the slovenly and criminal ICE agents is lecturing the top military leadership about "professional standards"... that would be hilarious if it weren't so sickening.

Nothing ignites the troops like an alcoholic, drug-addicted sexual predator ex-FoxNews host appointed by a draft-dodging 34-times felon rapist/pedophile president telling them how to do their jobs...

Teddy Roosevelt was prescient enough to realize that monopolies or near monopolies were going to destroy the country. When the vast majority of the population are subjugated to the whim of the ultra-wealthy the ultra-wealthy are at risk of revolt... time for the new "trust busters".

Yet more evidence that no Canadian should go to the U.S. It is a dangerous failed state, with the Trump regime, the Congress, the Supreme Court, and the Federal law enforcement agencies having little interest in obeying the law or the Constitution. Hopefully they will recover in the future.

About time! I'm tired of the NATO countries "expressing concern" every night on the news while the Putin regime laughs in their faces and does it again and again. Shoot down any and all incursions by Russia... you know he would.

It has become very clear to the rest of the world that the U.S. cannot be relied upon for anything. Shame on us for relying on the U.S. for decades, the free/democratic countries of the world need to work together to protect each other without relying on the U.S. (or any country for that matter).

If there's one thing that is clear under the Trump regime, it's that nothing (laws, EOs, even SCOTUS precedent) that is "final", it will be gratifying to see all the regime's illegal and immoral actions reversed by the next Congress and President. Even more gratifying to see these criminals in jail.

This is going to be a national FAFO for the U.S., it's a shame the 1/3 of the population that voted for Kamala have to suffer through this nonsense as well. The rest get what they voted for (or didn't bother to vote).

In the future, there may be unintended consequences to the trump regime political persecutions... going forward why wouldn't everyone testifying to congress not plead the 5th to every single question. Even if you've done nothing wrong, the cost of defending against vexatious prosecution is a burden

I'm guessing that when he said "I'm really good at this stuff", he meant he was really good at making a country go to hell. Given what he's done to the U.S. I may have to agree with him this time.

"It could well be the low point..."? That implies some doubt, there is no question the U.S. is at the absolute low point of public diplomacy (it's not even close). The only question is how many future low points from the Trump regime will make the current situation seem a relative high point.

Can someone remind me who the last member of our armed services who sacrificed their life for this country...who was given a memorial service by someone...like the one today? In all of the hoopla....I have forgotten.

Social media is a great way to stay connected with friends, family and people with like interests, unfortunately it also allows people with dangerous ideas and actions and unhealthy beliefs to find and feed off each other. What used to be a lone whack-job or village idiot is no longer alone.

We are fast becoming a banana republic, with two standards of justice. If you oppose the leader, you go to jail just for speech. If you're a loyalist, you get immunity for your crimes.

That's what happens in Iran - not the United States. This is a decision moment for America.
