But Trump said that the US doesn't need Canada .....
The Second Term of Donald J. Trump as President of the United States of America
- Thread starter sear
- Start date
Trump is not merely a buffoon. He's a treacherous, unconscionably destructive egotistical buffoon.
Senator Schiff,
You are right of course. BUT !
In this case being right is not enough.
Your position is justifiable by standards of logic.
The problem is the standards of logic do not apply to President Trump.
"Honor means sacrificing yourself for the benefit of others.
Dishonor means sacrificing others for the benefit of yourself." Lanny Davis, Special Counsel to President Clinton
Some reports indicate Trump has made over a $Billion since the beginning of his second term.
Has any previous U.S. president ever gained so much $wealth while in office?

No explanation required
We may not know the whole story. But even while McConnell was serving as majority leader he had episodes, such as freezing up, apparently losing the power of speech
before his public address was complete. His Republican cohort shuffled McConnell off camera.
After that PBS reports CPR was performed at McConnell's location, and McConnell remains hospitalized.
- bummer -
In our bitterly divided Washington DC many across the nation may disagree with McConnell [R-KY].
But McConnell was a persuasive advocate for his position.
For example, McConnell opposed increasing the minimum wage, and explained his position as follows:
If we make labor more expensive, is it any wonder that there would be less of it?
Can a half-truth be all wrong?

It's a dangerous world. Trump / RFKj may not be making it any less so. But with or without them, be careful.
This US region sees its first locally acquired 'kissing bug' disease case
Anthony Thompson, USA TODAY / Thu, July 9, 2026 at 2:18 PM GMT-5Health officials in San Diego County have confirmed the region's first locally acquired case of Chagas disease, a parasitic infection sometimes called "kissing bug" disease.
The case was discovered through routine blood donation screening of a donor who did not have symptoms, according to county public health officials. While Chagas disease is more commonly associated with rural areas of Latin America, researchers say evidence suggests the infection is present in parts of the United States as well.
"Identifying a locally acquired Chagas case reminds us that this disease is not limited to Latin America," Dr. Sayone Thihalilopavan, the county's public health officer, said in a statement. "Our priority is making sure residents and healthcare providers have the information they need to stay protected."
This US region sees its first locally acquired 'kissing bug' disease case
The first locally acquired Chagas case, a parasitic illness known as “kissing bug” disease, has been confirmed in this region.
They should maintain some iron lungs.
The more modern ventilators do not work when the lungs fill with fluid like they did with covid.
If they had put those covid patients on iron lungs instead of ventilators, most would not have died.
I do not like NATO.
It was not the best of intentions originally.
And it was an unnecessary polarization with the Warsaw Pact.
Which Gorbechov ended in 1991 anyway.
So I no longer see a point to NATO.
All countries should be defended due to principles, not shady alliances.

I disagree the Wuhan lab leak has not been officially proven.
The first case I heard of confirmed was from a lab employee and not the wet market where they claimed.
I am slightly flexible on the "gain of function" research since it could have revealed information that could later have been useful.
But it does seem to have been bungled, since it should not have leaked.
Nor is it likely coincidence that Fauci ordered gain of function research on covid, and then we had a covid outbreak.

In a blistering, no-holds-barred outburst, Senator Tammy Baldwin didn't just ask questions – she pointed fingers straight at the White House, accusing Trump's ICE of operating like a lawless death squad after three American citizens were killed in separate incidents across Texas, Wisconsin, and Minnesota.
While calling for an independent investigation into Lorenzo Salgado Araujo's death, she went further, branding the agency "rogue" and accusing it of terrorizing communities while the President sits idle.
Her raw, unfiltered message: How many more have to die because of this sick man? – and she's demanding his immediate removal, framing this not as a policy debate but as a national emergency of lethal incompetence and cruelty.

Either there is no presidential excess that would result in such removal,
or there is.
If there is, what more is necessary to meet the criterion?
Trump has demolished the white house East wing, vandalized U.S. national monuments, and is Constitutionally explicitly excluded from serving.
They want years more of this ?!
Senator McConnell has been satirized in this way before.
Senator McConnell is the one on the left.

Trump wanted his name restored immediately, but three federal judges said no.
A lower court had ordered the Kennedy Center to remove Trump’s name from signs, its website and related records. The board then asked the appeals court to pause that order while the full case continued.
Judges found no strong evidence of immediate financial harm and rejected the request.
Supporters say Trump transformed a struggling institution. Critics say adding his own name beside John F. Kennedy’s crossed a legal and historical line.

Ask yourself how you would react if masked men in an unmarked vehicle tried to stop you.
We don't want to hear "if he never came here." We don't want to hear "if he'd only complied."
There are no excuses. There are no explanations.
This morning in Biddeford, Maine, ICE shot and killed a 26-year-old man.
This is at least the 11th person killed by federal immigration agents under this administration.
Six days ago, it was Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston — shot during a stop after ICE admitted he wasn't their target.
In January, it was Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis.
And every time, the same machinery switches on. No body cameras — the Houston agents were never issued them, and their cars had no dash cams. No footage. No names. Masks and unmarked vehicles.
As of this afternoon, ICE had not responded to press inquiries about what happened on Pool Street.
Maine's own congresswoman is reduced to asking out loud: "Why are you in Maine?"
This is why people fight for reform. Body cameras on every armed agent. Use-of-force standards. Independent investigations — not, as in Houston, a case opened against the dead man. Faces. Badge numbers. Oversight with teeth.
None of that is radical. It is exactly what Congress was asked to pass in February, after Minneapolis.
Republicans refused — and handed ICE $113 billion with no conditions instead.
A month after the check cleared: Houston. Six days after Houston: Biddeford.
An agency with unlimited money, hidden faces, and no rules will keep doing what it was built to do.
Enough is enough.
