I for one appreciate the difference of opinions as a good 45% of the Canadian population agreed with the uhhh girl here.

Don't put all Conservative voters into the same bucket as him. Not everyone who voted that way is a pedo supporting MAGA wannabe.

[Badhobz]

True enough. I’m a conservative… I was really hoping for some fundamental change as I don’t think turd is solely responsible for all the previous bullshit. It’s the liberal party.

Too bad PEe Pee dick went soft and associated himself with the trumpet muppet which cost him the election.

Apparently still no official sightings of Trump since Wed (I heard it was actually Tuesday) - the White House has been reposting old photos and videos of him and claiming it's him out playing golf this weekend but it sure seems like we're entering Weekend at Bernie's territory. The media is definitely ignoring the situation - Biden fumbles a few words and it's "Biden is senile!" while Trump has obvious physical issues - bruising of the hand, swollen legs, a rumoured diaper, and nothing is getting reported.

I like the joke that asks that if he dies on 9/11 if it evens out that day.

Nothing ever comes from these. A few years ago it was Putin has Parkinsons and is barely keeping it together. Then Kim Jong Uns body double was seen everywhere and everyone thought the real one was dead. When Trump had covid and was seen with an oxygen bottle under his jacket people said he was fucked.

Trump will pop up soon enough and ruin it for everyone.

[68style]

I thought he just did a filmed interview with some agency yesterday? I saw he was photographed slinking off to a helicopter to go to his Virginia golf course.

His deadline for Putin is today… hopefully it’s just the dead part

[whitev70r]

Yah, he could have had something done, like a procedure .. at his age, not uncommon. Maybe he is recovering. Don't tease us !

[MG1]

The good die young....... assholes live forever. Both figuratively and literally. After he dies and goes to purgatory (before finally being accepted into hell), his name will be forever in the history books for all the suffering and damage he has caused. I doubt he's dead.

Video of black garbage bags being thrown from the second floor of the Whitehouse. Somethings up.

Diapers nobody wants to carry with them for too long. Maybe he’s finally seeing the light and is planning a quick exit. To a country that doesn’t give two shits for having such an evil entity within their borders. Actually, he might already be gone?

Your thoughts on this article? Is China gathering its allies to show the world that it is a country which can replace the U.S. as a world superpower and end the Russia-Ukraine war?

Leaders of China, Russia, North Korea and Iran gather in Beijing for huge military parade in challenge to the West.

In his speeches and meeting with leaders gathered for the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) on Sunday and Monday – a cohort of leaders from as far afield as the Maldives to Mongolia – Xi played up a message that world is in a state of flux and chaos, and China is the responsible, stable power to guide it into the future.

“(We must) oppose the cold war mentality, block confrontation and bullying practices,” Xi declared as he spoke to a room of gathered leaders Monday, using language that’s long been China’s code to describe what it sees as the US’ behavior. He also pledged hundreds of millions in grants to SCO member states this year – and launched a push to reform the international system.

On Wednesday he will commandeer Beijing’s main artery – the Avenue of Eternal Peace – for a major military parade showing off the country’s cutting-edge hypersonic weapons, nuclear-capable missiles, and undersea drones, alongside thousands of goose-stepping soldiers.

Under President Donald Trump, the US is shaking up its alliances and causing economic pain for countries around the world, including among friends and allies, with his global trade war. Xi sees an opportune moment to make what might be his most dramatic showing yet of his challenge to a world based on Western rules and sensibilities.

“What President Xi is trying to convey is certainty about China’s role in international affairs. This is clearly signaling to people throughout the region that China has arrived as a great power and it’s not going anywhere,” said Jonathan Czin, the Michael H. Armacost Chair in Foreign Policy Studies at Brookings.

China is flexing its economic, military, and perhaps diplomatic power at the US and Europe?

Not surprised at this - China has been angling to be the next superpower for years and with the US turning their back on the world this is their shot to claim the crown. It won't too long till India also overtakes the US.

While I find lots of what China does to be distasteful around human rights and democracy I think Canada will need to make a call on who it wants to align with. I'm not sure aligning with the EU is a winning hand for us - it helps for now but the long game is all about China IMO. I don't envy the difficult decisions that Carney and his successors will need to make to balance economics, democracy, and human rights.

As I am very anti-Communist China, I have zero faith in China living up to its words.

At least in the past 30 years, all China has ever done are things that will further its own good. They have zero credibility in honouring promises / international treaties that they have agreed to. Their definition of a win-win situation is China winning twice (while the other party loses twice). The Western World has learned this the hard way -- they brought China into the WTO with the expectation that a robust economy with a solid middle class would shift China towards a more open and fair society. None of the social justice aspects came into fruitition despite China's record economic growth, and China never lived up to its WTO obligations despite reaping all the benefits.

If anyone believes Communist China could be a responsible, stable power to guide the world into the future, I have a bridge to sell them.

Traum = Secret CCP member

His post is to draw out dissidents and bring them back to Guangdong hoarding facilities.

It’s wild seeing Modi publicly holding hands with Putin at the SCO summit, especially since not long ago he and Trump were playing up their friendship with rallies and hugs. I think India leaning toward China makes sense long term cause they’re neighbours and a more stable trading partner compared to the US, especially with Trump throwing tariffs around.

That said, the main risk and likely fallout for Indians is if Trump cracks down on H-1B visas, but the tech sector might push back hard enough to make him ease off.

[bcrdukes]

Many of my Indian friends in the US with H-1B visas have been pushed out. I haven't heard of one since ICE showed up at his house.

[Badhobz]

all empires rise and fall. not surprised people are pivoting away from trump and would rather embrace the more "stable" eastern bloc. Russia's the new ottoman empire... basically sick man of europe.

Yeah, I think the choices that lay ahead are all "making lemonade" choices - the US is an empire in (rapid) decline, and the EU isn't really that powerful (and I don't know that they need us anyways) so that leaves China and India and both choices would be difficult to swallow (I have always been appalled that the genocide in Xinjiang of the Uyghurs has basically been ignored).

This is way above my pay grade to make these kinds of choices but whichever the PM decides will piss off a lot of folks and will likely mean people will die for our benefit.

[Traum]

My naive and wishful thinking mind would like to hold on to the belief that the US is not beyond redemption yet -- if US voters would actually smarten up for once and see how harmful Trump's rhetoric and policies are, they can get rid of Trump, Vance, or whoever else from the GOP that follows as harmful a policy as Trump has been doing. And it really shouldn't be difficult to see. Trump tariffs are hurting the bottom lines of lots of businesses and people, including Republican voters. ICE raids are causing chaos and hurting Republican voters and Trump supporters too. Is a Hispanic American really still going to vote for GOP in the next round when his cousin or friend got his a$$ arrested and deported by ICE?

And yet I know American society is getting more polarized by the day. Instead of trying to find common ground for everyone's benefit, they are fighting along partisian lines at the expense of one another. So I am not at all confident that the US still has the ability to self-correct now.

You are giving the US public way too much credit when they are the country where a show called "are you smarter than a 5th grader" was aired.

This is going to trigger a serious brain drain in STEM. The US was pulling l in the best of the best, but with tighter restrictions, a lot of that talent is heading to Europe instead.

Just look at Meta, AI talent is so scarce that they rely heavily on Indians and Asianss. And when they do land the right people, they’re paying out insane salaries just to keep that talent. Rishabh Agarwal is a prefect example of the type of Indians were coming to America. America is going to take Big L.

Any day now

Looks like "Little" Marco Rubio wants to pack it in, lol...
