Why do only post part of what happened? Ontario threatened to place a 25% tariff on electricity sold to three states, Trump responded by increasing the tariffs on steel and aluminum from 25% to 50%. Ontario folded today, with Trump putting the tariffs back to their original increase. Carrot and stick.

Why only post part of what happened? Ontario threatened to place a 25% tariff on electricity because Trump vowed to implement tariffs on Canadian goods first. Trump started this entire trade war because he doesn't understand basic economics, even at a grade school level and he's surrounded by idiotic yes men who are too afraid to tell him he's an idiot.

Next up: Elon tries to take legal action against any Gran Turismo 7 footage from players that makes Tesla look bad, claiming its an act of inciting treason.

My favorite one was how he accused Japan of spending the last uh... 35 years having their economy being in the toilet and their currency super weak just to get a leg up on the US; implying that all Japan needed to do to avoid his wrath was just make their money more valuable.

Illegally boycotting, lol. Just like how all those companies were illegally boycotting choosing not to advertise on Twitter & Musk was telling them to go **** themselves.
Mango Unchained complaining about why do we have to protect Japan & they don't have to protect us showcasing once again that no one in his administration paid attention in high school history classes. We dismantled their military after WWII & disallowed them from foreign operations, we made the treaty that says we will protect them in return for allowing us to have a presence in Asia.

I wasn't. I remember the incredulous reaction when he plumped for tariffs on them during his first term, declaring them (by way of their steel production) a national security threat so he could slap tariffs on them. Oh, and accusing Canada of being the ones who burned the White House... and that was when he had people in his team curbing the more insane 💩 he tried to push through.
Trump to Trudeau in testy tariff call: 'Didn't you guys burn down the White House?'
President reportedly invoked war of 1812 when Canadian PM asked how he could justify tariffs on national security grounds

I also couldn't help but notice this on the sidebar when I was looking for the article above:
Tennessee man shot by his dog while lying in bed
A bullet grazed the Memphis man’s thigh after his one-year-old pit bull got his paw stuck in a gun’s trigger guard
"Oreo’s owner and the woman – whom the station agreed not to name in its coverage – reportedly said they would be sure to engage the safeties of any guns in their home moving forward."
Correct me if I'm wrong but surely one of the checks that occurs when acquiring a gun over there is for basic safety/common sense regarding handling said gun?
...right?

Which is probably why most of the Senate and House (including the Democrats) may not protest too much about it, despite ignoring who they represent.

Sooo... I've never bothered to learn what Jancle Dancle Vancle's actual name is, but upon looking it up it transpires that almost none of them are the names on his birth certificate, and one of them has changed twice. Only whatever the J stands for is still the original.
Makes me wonder quite why they all get so raged-up about other people changing their names, to the point of refusing to recognise them. And he's hardly a unique example among that ilk either...

In all fairness I've heard plenty of stories about drugs coming from Canada into the U.S. Sometimes smuggled by entire busses of people.
Granted those are all U.S. citizens making the trip because their prescription is too expensive in the states but that's not the point!
