Instead of trying to green cars so much why don't we just invest in trains. city trains. under ground trains. above ground trains. trains between cities. trains between countries. TRAINS

They launched a coup, suffered no consequences for it, won back power, and have used the power to pardon everyone involved while remaking the country through violence and intimidation. It’s just ridiculous to talk about the political violence of yelling at ICE agents within that context.

Launching a global trade war (increasing US prices in the process), getting rid of vaccines, and sending soldiers into US cities. This is what critics of Trump warned would happen during the campaign. But were told that they were fear mongering.

Listening to radio ads right now is like "Canadians are strong. Canadians are tough. Canadians never back down. Canadians deserve the best. That's why at Bob's Lube Garage, we know your tire lube should smell like poutine and Lake Erie fish,"

I can't decide what is more absurd about Trump's tariffs. Is it him fighting the entire world? Or using AI to develop the formula? Or is it tariffing an island of Penguins? It would be absolute satire if it was not so serious. VEEP was not supposed to be a documentary

Colombia has accepted hundreds of deportation flights in the past years. It rejected two flights using military planes, but agreed to continue taking flights using normal ICE planes.

In response, the Trump administration has done the equivalent of punching them in the face.

Again, let me emphasize, the threatened tariff on Canada is not meant to instigate a 'trade war'. This is not 'oh I don't like your stumpage fees so I'll tariff your softwood and then we tariff their orange joice'.

The threatened tariff is just plain aggression, using tariffs as the tactic.
