You can see the gears in his head turning as he does it.

Bannon looks like the illegitimate offspring of stale beer and cigar butts.
Would I leave this person alone with a loved one: Yes/No/IDK
If yes, that person is trustworthy
If no/IDK - that person is suspect.
My junkie spidey sense has gotten me this far in life.
trump is absolutely fucking clueless.
re: Trump, Maine's Democratic governor clash at White House over transgender athletes
the issue at play aside, the u.s. president does not impose conditions on federal funding and he has absolutely no power to withhold federal funding from states in an attempt to coerce them into adopting specific policies.
the u.s. constitution gives that power to congress (which appropriates federal money and decides if there are any conditions required to be met to receive the funding).
her "see you in court" is boss: Maine Gov. Janet Mills Clashes With Trump: ‘See You in Court’
he is such a fucking child.

Didn't he say the courts had too much power while also relying on his packed courts to enforce his decisions

Biden is such an embarrassing senile retard. Fucking demented senior. Source: literally every time he had to speak live during his presidency.
See how that reads? Maybe it’s just me, but I just don’t get all this extreme vitriol towards someone you’ve never even met. But I guarantee Trump is enjoying the fact that he lives rent free in your head.

His grotesque hate-filled dysentery-coloured face makes me feel physically sick every time it pops up and I'm forced to look at it.
He's both elderly and obese so surely it can't be THAT long before he dies?

I STILL cannot wrap my head around that fact that there are not only people, but MILLIONS of people who are genuinely stupid enough to be MAGA/Trump supporters.
I think those people are created when abnormally low intelligence is combined with abnormally low capacity for empathy.

Or maybe they just really hate the left and Kamala.
Or maybe they just saw through all lies the Mass Media was serving up.
Here, for example, here is the unedited 60 Minute interview directly from 60 Minutes:
Why on earth would anyone want to vote for someone who showed such a lack of awareness and ability that was displayed by her? They edited the heck out of this interview just to make her seem to make some sort of viable platform and then showed it on National TV. If the DNC had actually run someone who was a good candidate they had a heck of a chance of winning, but no...

This isnt about steel tariffs though. There are no tariffs on us steel in canada.
Canada has a digital services tax they charge on Netflix and other streaming services. Not sales tax , its literally used to fund canadian content. Why should a company that operates foreign website be subject to Canadian taxes? The whole 25 percent tariff on everything was retarded, but I see the point here. Not only is tax wrong but its funding an industry that competes with Hollywood. If i get pornhub premium account i dont pay canadian sales tax. Thats what he means by reciprocal its been happening a while and its one way.
I see his point the government of Canada has been trying to control Facebook telling them they have to pay whenever anyone links to Canadian news. Google paid, fb told them no and banned news links for Canadian users, still to this day. I actually agree with usa on this. We should not be taxing foreign digital services. The usa doesn't tax Canadian websites, if there are any. They are trying to fuck with YouTube too. To me answer is make better Canadian programming people want to watch. CanCon laws have long history of paying tax dollars to make shit tv no one watches. We should not be trying to force yt to promote it. Make good shit like trailer park boys and people will seek it out...
American private health care companies have a good case under NAFTA that government healthcare is unfair competition too.
Trump orders tariffs on digital service tax countries, including Canada - National | Globalnews.ca
Trump's order directs his administration to consider responsive actions like tariffs to 'combat' digital service taxes imposed on U.S. tech companies by foreign countries.
globalnews.ca
U.S. President Donald Trump has signed a memorandum to impose tariffs on countries that levy digital service taxes on U.S. technology companies, a White House official said.
Another official, providing details of the order, said Trump was directing his administration to consider responsive actions like tariffs “to combat the digital service taxes (DSTs), fines, practices, and policies that foreign governments levy on American companies.”
“President Trump will not allow foreign governments to appropriate America’s tax base for their own benefit,” the official said.
The memo directs the U.S. Trade Representative’s office to renew digital service taxes investigations that were initiated during Trump’s first term, and investigate any additional countries that use a digital tax “to discriminate against U.S. companies,” the official said.
i have to have met somebody to have a valid opinion of them?
that makes zero sense to me and i'm not sure even you believe that.

That’s not what I said, though. I said I don’t understand hating someone I haven’t met. And I truly don’t.
i don't hate him. maybe that assumption is the cause of your confusion?
