Carney denies walking back Davos speech in phone call with Trump The Canadian prime minister said "there's almost nothing normal in the US" when asked about trade talks with Washington.

I think Iโ€™ll believe Carney over a proven lier like Scott Bessent.

The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

Trump Insiders Reveal Secret Plot for Bigger Takeover Target โ€” The Daily Beast The president has his eyes on a new sovereign-state prize.

Trump will pivot back to Canada sooner than later. Much bigger prize than Greenland. I donโ€™t think the world can handle another three years of this.

Trump tells Davos that Europe is heading in wrong direction - Reuters

You have to admit trump has balls showing up there with all the issues in the US heโ€™s created and claim that Europe is heading in the wrong direction.

Trump lies with such belief in his lies. I donโ€™t even think he believes heโ€™s lying, heโ€™s just recreating reality as he would like it to be. The world continues to bend to his will but I hope we may be seeing the end of trumps alternate reality sooner than later. #trump

Scott Bessent comes across as having no idea what trumps doing or saying. I suspect he thinks heโ€™s keeping trump back from his worst impulses but Bessent comes across as weak and looks like a deer in the headlights almost all the time. #scottbessent

Opinion | How Trump Has Used the Presidency to Make at Least $1.4 Billion The president took an oath to serve the American people. Instead, heโ€™s focused his second term on enriching himself and his family.

The corruption is truly staggering almost as much as the fact he has any supporters at all.

Quite honestly the last straw should have been January 6th. However, this is where America finds themselves and the rest of us will pay the price.

I'm shocked but somewhat pleased the mainstream media is going all Watergate on the Hegseth war crimes in the Caribbean. "Morning Joe" (yes, I know, don't @ me) has talked about little else for 2 hours

I'm not 100% convinced that this is the turning point but it might be, with Trump at just 36%

Conservatives accuse Canada's Carney of being 'undemocratic' as MP resigns The resignation of an Alberta Conservative MP is the second exit from the party's caucus this week, raising questions about the state of Canada's opposition.

These guys sound like a bunch of babies now. If the show was on the other foot Iโ€™m not so sure they would have a problem.

No chance of that. Republicans are terrified of trump and any blow-back from not being in lock step with him. Trump will go full speed trying to steal next yearโ€™s election.
