Oh you can bet those prices will be jacked up as well. Why? Because they can and no one says or does anything about it. Those CEO’s look at this as a huge pay day for them!!

I seem to recall a certain female Vice President who warned about price gouging. Her comments were shrugged off. Now, we get to find out another way Trump lies!

I'm also losing patience people who tell me they are too busy right now to keep up with the news. Guess that makes me a BAD Democrat.

It was never about the cost of living. It was, and has always been, about disspossessing black and brown people. They're taking away programs and railroads from us. Eventually, many will be forced to work the field jobs that were once done by migrant workers--for sub-standard wages. White conservatives want us out of the offices, schools, plants, and any other place where we can earn a liveable wage. Abd they did it knowing but not caring that some of their own will be affected. As long as they fuck over black people, they don't mind the collateral damage.

The Dems were voted out and as the minority, have very limited power in the House and Senate. Voters decided that it was a good idea to put Republicans in charge of all three branches of the federal government…well, this is what happens when Republicans are in charge of all three branches. People are more likely to have an impact by contacting their Republican representatives and convincing them to vote with the Dems.

Dems r doing more presser about these ridiculous lies. Dems don't have the majority right now, but I think that's going to change in the next primary because the ones who voted for him will be hurting.

I'm hoping you are correct, but its hard to get rid of an incumbent. Actually, switching parties (dare I say the word that starts with a D) to change the balance of power.

Nope. Not our Governor Beshear. He's one of the first with feet on the ground after a disaster. We may be a Red State, but he is very well liked here. Might convince a few MAGA to get their head on straight.

Do you think Canada will actually shut off Michigans power tomorrow?

Expand full comment
Ariel's avatar

I hate that hurting our own people is the only way to get enough people to see that Trump is not the savior he claims to be. If Canada doesn’t shut off the power (because Canadians are decent human beings), people will see it as Canada backing down to Trump and support Trump even more. If Canada shuts it off, our people will suffer and Trump will make it out as though Canada is in the wrong…because god forbid he ever take responsibility and be held accountable for any fights he starts.

No matter what we as Canadians are shocked at how DT is labeling us. The stats on drugs coming in from our country is a blatant lie. But we know this is how he operates. Targeting his biggest ally is insane. Even us as Canadians don’t know how our government is going to respond, they are keeping this tight lipped. Only saying they have a 3 teared response ready. My province BC has a mineral USA needs, we are the only source for this mineral, our primer has said it’s on the table. Ontario has the energy on the table. Tomorrow will be telling for both.

Only a brain-washed MAGA who has not watched the news for 3 months could believe the Orange lies. I guess I need to do some research on tariffs, though. I agree that kicking your friends while coddling your foes is not good policy, but then again, remember these are executive Orders and not Congressional action.

No I don’t think we will manly because we don’t think of Americans as the enemy. Unfortunately it seems your President only knows how to use the stick. Perhaps he needs to feel comfortable in his position. Let’s hope he reopens the trade talks and gets a deal he wants.

Everything is on the table. While I agree I don’t think they will shut it all down, I have a feeling something will happen. As it should at this point. I don’t like hurting the millions who did not vote the 🍊 in. However, we must respond accordingly.

I hate to say this, but we operate on majority vote wins. I'd like to claim voter fraud, as MAGA followers were lied to. Everything they wanted is now dismissed as "very hard to do." They didn't understand what tariffs were, and Canada wasn't ever mentioned as a major target.

Ariel's avatar

The Dems don’t have the power to stop it. The Republicans control all three branches of the federal government and they are bowing down to Trump. Dems can’t do much with the minority position they’re in. If someone wants to change those power dynamics, they need to convince their Republican representatives to vote with the Dems and against Trump. As we saw with Hegseth’s horrendous confirmation hearing and eventual vote, even getting just five Republicans to vote with the Dems would make a HUGE difference

Yay! Conold the Demented and Corrupt is going to increase prices on gas to the mid west states, electricity and lumber to border states, and food for all Americans. Well done shit-for-brains. Enabled by President Musk who’s gutting the civil service and reducing aviation safety by firing its professional head and safety board, things are turning out so well for the MAGAT’s. Watching from afar as the US goes down the gurgled. From strongest economy in the world, to Ugly Shitholes of America in only a couple of weeks. All for a man in diapers who shits from both ends at once. Bit like Novoviris on steroids. Perhaps the brainworm guy can work out a cure?
