There's a reason Trump signed so many EO's, do you know what it is ? 

I do.  He wants to be the President.  The Congress.  And the Court.  

[datzenmike]

He want's to be King Trump 1st. That's why his son is a Barron.

No that's not it. You'll never figure it out.

Just a word play. With Trumps ego do you think he would call his son Duke? Not likely, too close to the spotlight.

Apparently, Nancy Pelosi is SO successful trading stocks, a few stock trackers have popped up so users can follow her buys and sells to ride her coat tails..

 

I wish I was more knowledgeable in the buying and selling stocks, as this could be a real winner..

There's somebody that's been following her trading for years. I think I saw him on X. She's cheating obviously and knows nobody will do a damn thing about it. No way that old drunk is better than Warren Buffet without some insider knowledge.

There was a story out recently saying she was out performing most of the top hedge funds in 2025.

I don't recall the right going to the extremes the Dems have. Because they haven't. 67% of all Federal injunctions in the last 100 years were issued against Trump. 92% of those came from Democrat appointed Judges so....... I'll demonize the left as they should be. The Republicans don't seem to stoop to that level. Blame that on the right ? Come on. 

 

I don't recall blaming or defending anyone. But here you are again doing just that. I'm pointing out a conflict of interest in the SCOTUS decision when it consolidates judicial power at the top. It limits the states recourse in acting against unjust laws and policies issued by the federal government. For instance, laws that diminish the the people's rights and freedoms, Presidential Orders that violates the US Constitution. You're more than willing to give all that up when your guy is in office. Short sighted to think this door doesn't swing both ways.

Common denominator here is Trump. Maybe those 67% were illegal and or unconstitutional and worthy of an injunction.

I don't think that phrase means what you are suggesting you think it means.  Hint:  the name is "Supreme" Court, not penultimate court.  The power is at the top.  No additional power is being consolidated, no lower courts eliminated, no rights infringed.  Any case can be filed and ruled on appropriately, it just doesn't allow someone without proper standing to get that opinion applied to everyone through a single lower court.  Nothing is different.

You don't recall very well then. Go back a page and read your post. Something about the right letting the cat out of the bag ? The numbers don't lie. One side is abusing the system.

CNN.... The National Enquirer of news outlets. Must be a slow day.

[john510]

Let's do it. If that's what Alberta wants that's what they should get. As screwed up as our country is we're not nearly as bad as Canada. Maybe we could throw in Hawaii or Puerto Rico ? 

[datzenmike]

Suddenly you take something from CNN as actually true? One person saying so doesn't make it so and that's the point of the article. It tries to make people think there is actually some greater truth that all Albertans 'want' this. It 'softens them up' but is in reality just regular bullshit. Question everything, specially political commentary and CNN.

So Mike it appears the shoe is on the other hand now, you tend to support lots of this that support your narrative’s single source or whatever.  Now something comes up with you don’t like and it’s total BS.  Interesting. 

[datzenmike]

Not at all. Quoting news sources is just a way of examining something not talked about here. Doesn't mean I agree with it. There should always be some push back to everything wearing the guise of fact. Again... saying something doesn't mean it's factual. Politicians and news outlets all the spew bullshit as fact. Remember early on about Co-Vid? Saying Albertans are considering being the 51st is vaguely truthful for some Albertans, I'm sure, and there's the lie. Making an issue out of something that's a non issue for everyone else. You could say the same thing about California wanting to return and be part of Mexico. Both titles are followed by a question mark so not a statement of fact. 

 

I bet the Nazis published similar bullshit in Austria, Sudetenland, Czech. and Polish newspapers to stir up things.

It's one thing to buy a state from another country, or granting a US province statehood after 70 years and Pearl Harbor forcing our hand, but accepting a breakaway territory of another country and making it a state overnight is not as simple as this meat puppet suggests. If Alberta is seeking independence, becoming a US state is  trading one set of government regulatory controls and political corruption for another that is far worse. Like jumping out of the pan and into the fire. In the long run, it would create more problems than it would solve for both sides of the border. 

 

What this hyperbolic vid left out is while Alberta's economy may rank 3rd in Canada, it's smaller than Minnesota's GDP. The GDP of Texas is 10X bigger, and California is nearly 12X. If Alberta mannages to breaks away, Canada will repossess all their government's financial assets, gut infrastructure such as public services (like public healthcare), real estate, backup supplies and durable equipment, skilled personnel, etc. It would up end everything ranging from transportation to law enforcement, public security, the banking system, and international businesses supported by Canada through government investment and subsidies. Not to mention loosing a large portion of Alberta's population who wants nothing to do with the US.
