Politics

[Scott CWO]

The point was that NIMBYs know no political allegiance, they come in all shapes and sizes. And also that you can't be bothered by data center NIMBYs when one is a NIMBY themselves, but for renewable energy installations.

Has nothing to do with being a NIMBY. Solar and wind are black for the environment.

And what "wars" did he end again?...None. The war in the Ukraine is still raging on, and he started one with Iran. And yet Donny's still confused as to why no Peace Prize. Obama ended GW Bush and the Republican Neo-Cons unnecessary, politically correct, war of choice in Iraq, along with most combat operations in Afghanistan. And Biden finally pulled us out of Bush's forever war in Afghanistan. That's what ending wars actually looks like.

He claims he stopped the war between India and Pakistan. Both countries: "Huh?" He's a dreamer ... and only dreams of one thing ... himself. Ready for a laugh? Google "West Wing Walkway plaque Trump." But then read the trashy script and bald faced lies he wrote about other presidents. Disgusting.

"White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said that the texts are 'eloquently written descriptions of each president' and that 'many were written directly by the president himself.'"

"Eloquently written"? Brother! No one else but Trump would have written those descriptions. Well, no one with more than a fourth grade education and an ounce of self respect. It's so embarrassing for a person like Leavitt who must have some level of education actually stooping to praising that collection of insulting gobbilty-gook.

He was scoffing because the premise was silly. The U.S. was not on the brink of war with Denmark. As insulting as Trumps comments were. No one thought we were sending troops.

Rep. Zinke as well as most reasonable people knew it’s Trumps (worn out) “Art of the Deal” tactics.

You know, that "It's just him talking 'Art of the Deal" bullshit wore out a long time ago. I watched a couple of episodes of him on the Apprentice, tried to watch anyway. I don't believe he could deal a deck of four cards.

I doubt Trump thought the premise of invading Greenland was silly and I really find it hard to believe he took Zinke's comment to be anything less than "disloyal." You're right, everyone knew Trump was blowing hot air. But Zinke was the only one I recall on the right in Congress who actually had the balls to say it.

Xi at the Whitehouse. I guess sometimes you have to shake hands with a Viper who would gladly destroy you if he could.
Makes my skin crawl.

I’ve recently been accused of being racist against natives by one of the members for speaking out about the illegal fishing practices they partake in under the guise of a ceremonial fishery.
Apparently DFO must also be racist as local radio stations reported that for the last two weeks fisheries officers have been marking lobsters in native pots and seizing any found on the market.
9000 pounds in 14 days, that is a drop in the bucket for what the natives are landing. Hopefully the individuals charged will actually be taken to trial instead of having the charges dropped which is what most often happens when the courts realize the poachers are native. As an added insult to justice if the courts do go through with charges than the native defendants have the “right” to invoke their Gladue rights which is literally white guilt put on paper.

From google : gladue rights
What Are Gladue Rights?

• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• 
  
• • Origin: Based on the 1999 Supreme Court of Canada decision (R. v. Gladue) and section 718.2(e) of the Criminal Code. [1, 2]
  • Purpose: Requires courts to consider the history of systemic and institutional discrimination, intergenerational trauma, and individual background of Indigenous peoples.
  • Goal: Aims to reduce the severe overrepresentation of Indigenous people in Canadian prisons by prioritizing reasonable, restorative, non-custodial measures when appropriate.
  don’t mistake this action by fisheries as an actual crack down on the illegal fishery currently operating on the east coast though this is an annual token “show of force” by fisheries after letting them operate with impunity for the summer months.

to add to what I posted above American eel numbers are also reported to be at historic lows.

For those who don’t know eels are a delicacy on the Asian market much like lobster. Historically licensed individuals caught adult eels and sold them. In recent years an Asian buyers have turned to purchasing glass eels or elvers Which are the larvae of the American eel and raising them in captivity.

There are only 9 commercial glass eel licenses here and the commercial season was closed in 2023 and 2024 , most counties are still closed to commercial operators.

Natives have the right to harvest and sell glass eels outside of commercial closures and they have realized that there are high enough margins that they don’t actually have to harvest the eels Themselves instead they employ crackeads and destitutes to do it for them. It’s bad enough now that second hand shops and pawn shops stock aquarium pumps or “bubblers” black plastic buckets and mosquito jackets. All the basics needed to start an illegal fishing enterprise.

For those who don’t know glass eels being as much as 3-5000 dollars per kg on the legal market, the feathered market here pays 10c on the dollar or 3-500 per kg.

Xi with Trump – what embarrassing thing happened?
by DER SPIEGEL / Felix Dachsel

Good politics requires good personnel; this holds true worldwide. Certain bizarre scenes from Chinese President Xi Jinping’s visit to the White House remain memorable. Donald Trump showed his state guest around like a tourist, pointing out the newly inaugurated helipad or the dusty construction site at the East Wing—where, God willing and the courts permitting, a majestic ballroom is eventually supposed to stand.

It is worth reading the article by Britta Kollenbroich and Bernhard Zand, in which they vividly describe the almost childish contest of wills between Trump and Xi—in all its unsettling banality.

Some displays of strength turn out to be signs of weakness and degradation. The White House released a video of the peculiar moment when Trump led the Chinese delegation to the Presidential Gallery in the West Wing. Trump proudly pointed out that he had replaced the portrait of his predecessor, Joe Biden, with an image of an autopen—an allusion to Trump’s accusation that Biden had used a signature-writing machine during his term in office.

The guest from China, President Xi Jinping, was doubled over with laughter. But what amused him? The ridiculousness of Joe Biden? Or the ridiculousness of Donald Trump?

Canadian leaders must have some form of paranoia if they think the USA is going to invade the country.

Canadian leaders must have some form of paranoia if they think the USA is going to invade the country.

Yes, reflecting the thoughts of some significant % of the population. Some form of paranoia. complex or groupthink. We are witnessing a similar phenomenon here, fomented by the donkey political party, amplified and perpetuated by a complicit mainstream media supported by phony “organic” demonstrations funded through third party dark money.

No more ridiculous than many of the conspiracy theories you peddle on here.

Maybe we should remember how China treats its former presidents.

Medicare for all. dividing up 401k for all. taxing 2nd homes of the middle class. All sounds good until;

They eventually get down to you and your meager possessions to maintain their lifestyle.

The peasants in Russia most likely don’t even know Putin is quite possibly one of the richest men on the planet. An average at best KGB agent somehow owns more wealth than all of his subjects combined. Socialism/ Communism at work.
