Hopefully trump knows the difference between Chinese and Koreans so we don’t accidentally get 100% tariffs

How dare you challenge his incessant inanity. After all, you are only, well you know, a judge!

One of the really sad things is when someone doesn't quite grasp when they are the subject of laughter and ridicule rather than a participant.

Sometimes when your bored, you just have take the troll’s bait and play with the troll.

This is interesting because I believe this, and another agreement signed between South Korea and Algoma steel, are tied into the Korean pitch to build 12 new submarines. So it certainly seems that the Korean offering is heading into the lead over the European offering. From my lay-person perspective, I prefer what the Korean sub has to offer.

Speaking of better things to do, you might want to change the picture on you avatar. Frozen boogers on you mustache are kinda gross. They remind me of the kids at the Somali Daycare.

Do you know who the prime contractor is building the subs, and more importantly (wait for it) who are the subcontractors…..

Serious question, how does it work exactly for trump to sue a government agency that he is ultimately in charge of? I’d of thought he’d of had to wait until his term ended and he was just a private citizen again but I’m not well versed in u.s. tax law so maybe it makes more sense to you guys.

This stolen election nonsense was investigated ad nauseum in 2020. It was disproved in countless courts. What possible "probable cause" could Trump reintroduce now that hasn't already been tried and thrown out? This is ridiculous. A childish waste of federal resources.

Serious question for you:

1) Do you believe Joe Biden legitimately got 81.2 Million votes in 2020 election? If so, why do you believe this? ... I am not asking if you think he won, I am asking if you believe the total vote numbers to be accurate.

Childish wastes of Federal Resources is one of the few things our government does well. Don't pretend that's a Trump thing. It is ridiculously widespread and a huge reason why we continue to run up the national debt beyond recovery. ... I don't claim to be any form of genius or businessman savant, but if given the power to regulate all government spending and operations, I could run a surplus immediately while cutting taxes for every American taxpayer at the same time. The problem is it would never pass through the House and Senate because too many of them are sucking at the teat to gain wealth and "power" off this waste.

Who of us can figure out Trump's mind?
An IRS subcontractor supposedly got ahold of his tax returns and leaked them to the media.
Ultimately, the IRS is liable, but I don't know the legalities of that situation.

But there are gulfstreams that are certified in Canada

Maybe older models? This is the first I've heard of that.
The Bombardier Global aircraft are also excellent planes, and popular here, and abroad.
Maybe Canada is hedging the sales of Bombardier, by not certifying the Gulfstream for sale in Canada!

From AI quick

• Existing Certifications: Transport Canada has previously validated Type Certificates for many in-production Gulfstream aircraft, including the G550, G650, G500, G450, G350, and GV, allowing them to be registered and operated in Canada.

I think most countries allready have followed the Danish lead on immigration, there has been a realisation that it might be a good idea to integrate the immigrants allready present before bringing in more.

Here in Sweden for example we now have the lowest number of asylum related immigration in 40 years. The goverment has also recently introduced a Swedish repatriation grant of 350,000 SEK (about 36 000 USD) for any immigrant that choses to go back to their home country (and not ever come back again I assume).

Apparently it is cheaper to pay up instead of trying to integrate them, probably mostly targeted at those that do not desire to be integrated. The current policy is to mostly only extend citizenship/immigration status to people that want to come here to work instead.

I mean no disrespect, but I was made to understand that the reason Denmark took the path they did was because of the horrid mess made in Sweden, Germany and France specifically. Particularly with immigrant gang problems in Sweden.

The case has to be filed to meet the statute of limitations. The court in which it is filed almost certainly will stay the case, which means put it in a parking spot with no activity allowed until he leaves office. The case actually appears very legitimate on its face if the media attempts at reporting are accurate.

The leaker has already been convicted and received a sentence of five years in prison while Biden was president. Here is an IRS press release from May 2024 when Biden was president.

Yes danish politicians have frequently used immigrant problems in other countries as arguments for having even harder migration policies. But even before that argument was raised they allready had a much harder stance on migration then other scandinavian countries. And thats what I ment, they took the lead and others have since followed, especially after the huge influx of refugees from Syria.

Perhaps its due to Trumps treats around Greenland that they chose South Korean missile launchers over american ones? It also sounds like a good idea to buy a system that will be able to use missiles constructed in Poland instead of in the US.

Since it might also be a risk that Trump who time after time showed that he is unreliable might decide not to sell missiles for american systems to Europe if he feels the need to punish the continent for some real or percieved slight towards him or his grandiose ideas. The rumors surrounding kill switches in the F35s might also hurt american defense exports in general.

Also I have read that South Korea delivers much faster then american defense contractors, and they do seem to have a lot of success in Europe as of late, selling a lot of main battle tanks and self propelled artillery aswell.
