I'm on a boating site and the libs are melting down.
I mod a small boat site. No political anything is allowed. Nobody has posted anything political in the last 10 years or so. Today, a few liberal posts showed up and I deleted them. That side is butt-hurt bigly.
They predicted war with Mexico
They predicted war with Panama.
China was going to get the canal because of Trump.
Elon can't be doing anything in JFKs EO started USAID. It was never codified and Elon is stealing money.
And Canada is going to prevail while helping fentanyl and terrorists invade our country.
Oh, and last night the lib future traders had the Dow down over 3% so the market was going to crash today.
I expect emergency ward traffic to be up today with heart attacks and aneurysms.
I've calls for impeachment already. Ha!

Sounds like my sister-in-law.
Constant harping about how everything is going to shit.
Last time I checked, Mexico agree to step up. Panama agreed to end the Chinese partnerships. The Netherlands is going to bolster the defense of Greenland by $2 BILLION and the EU is going to fund ice breakers to allow the Dutch to help build those defenses in Greenland. Also Putin and Zelensky are both talking about starting some peace negotiations, while Hamas has actually released the American hostages they have been illegally holding.

Add to this that Trudeau just folded in Canada as well. Here's what Canada is going to do in exchange for a 30-day pause on the promised 25% tariffs. Canada agrees to:
- Reinforce their border with new choppers, technology and personnel
- Conduct enhanced coordination with American partners
- Provide increased resources to stop the flow of fentanyl
- Provide nearly 10,000 frontline personnel to provide border security, ensuring 24/7 eyes on border
- Appoint a Fentanyl Czar
- List cartels as terrorists
- Launch a Canada- U.S. Joint Strike Force to combat organized crime, fentanyl and money laundering
- Sign a new intelligence directive on organized crime and fentanyl backed by $200 million
Wow. We get a president in office who puts America first, and it's just amazing what we can do.

Denmark could let Trump increase US military presence in Greenland
The US could be allowed to step up its military presence in Greenland, the prime minister of Denmark has said.
Denmark could let Trump increase US military presence in Greenland

The US could be allowed to step up its military presence in Greenland, the prime minister of Denmark has said.
Mette Frederiksen made the comment as she reiterated that the world’s largest island was not for sale.
Denmark hopes to defuse an escalating crisis triggered by Donald Trump’s desire to buy the Danish-governed landmass on national security grounds.
The US president has refused to rule out military or economic coercion to seize control of the island.
Speaking before an EU meeting in Brussels, Ms Frederiksen said: “I totally agree with the Americans that the High North, the Arctic region, is becoming more and more important when we are talking about defence and security and deterrence.
“And it is possible to find a way to ensure stronger footprints in Greenland,” she added, before repeating that the resource-rich territory was part of Denmark and “not for sale”.
Mette Frederiksen strongly denied that Denmark was a ‘bad ally’ to the US - NICOLAS TUCAT/AFP
The territory already hosts an American military base that monitors space and detects missile threats. She told reporters the US “can have more possibilities”.
Russia and China have been working to boost their influence in the Arctic, a key region for transportation and resources.
Climate change is expected to trigger a race for power in the area as new waterways and territories for settlement open up as ice melts.
Ms Frederiksen said Denmark and Nato were also willing to scale up their presence in the Arctic.
“So if this is about securing our part of the world, we can find a way forward,” she added.
Denmark ‘not a good ally’
Ms Frederiksen has sought to drum up support from her fellow EU leaders in the stand-off between Copenhagen and Washington.
Before the EU meeting, JD Vance, the US vice-president, said the acquisition of Greenland was still very much on the table.
He told Fox News: “It’s really important to our national security. There are sea lanes there that the Chinese use, that the Russians use, that frankly, Denmark, which controls Greenland, it’s not doing its job and it’s not being a good ally.
“So you have to ask yourself, how are we going to solve that problem, solve our own national security? If that means that we need to take more territorial interest in Greenland, that is what President Trump is going to do, because he doesn’t care what the Europeans scream at us.
“He cares about putting the interests of America’s citizens first.”

Ms Frederiksen hit back at Mr Vance’s claims on Monday. “We have fought side by side with the Americans for many, many decades,” she said.
“I will not accept the notion that Denmark is a bad ally. We are not, we have not been, and we will not be in the future.”
The suggestion of potential Danish military concessions to Mr Trump comes after Panama said it would withdraw from China’s Belt and Road Initiative, a Beijing-led global infrastructure project, following US pressure.
On Sunday, Mr Trump had threatened to “take back” the Panama Canal unless Panama ended Chinese influence over the strategically vital waterway.
Meanwhile, Claudia Sheinbaum, the Mexican president, said Mr Trump had agreed to pause tariffs for one month after the two leaders had a “good conversation”.
Ms Sheinbaum said she had agreed to send 10,000 members of the country’s national guard to prevent drug trafficking, particularly fentanyl, from Mexico to the US.
In return, the US has agreed to prevent high-powered weapons from being transported over the border into Mexico.
Greenland is a self-ruling territory in the Danish kingdom, which means policymakers in Nuuk, the island’s capital, have control over most domestic issues.
Denmark, which oversees the island’s security policies, plans to inject £1.62 billion to bolster its defence.
The row over Greenland comes amid strained US-EU relations over Mr Trump’s threat to hit “way out of line” European exports with tariffs of up to 20 per cent, following his announcement of similar moves against China, Mexico and Canada.
EU ‘cannot be divided’
As they arrived for the meeting in Brussels, EU leaders warned that the only winner of a transatlantic trade war would be China.
The issue has overshadowed the summit, which Sir Keir Starmer will join for dinner, to discuss the continent’s defence.
Donald Tusk, the Polish prime minister, criticised the US overtures towards Greenland and urged the EU to stay united.
“We need a clear and firm European stance. Given the threat from Russia and China’s expansion, we cannot afford to be divided,” he said.
Mr Tusk, who also holds the EU’s six-month rotating presidency, said he had spoken to Ms Frederiksen and conceded that Mr Trump’s demands were “a serious test of our solidarity”.
Emmanuel Macron, the French president, also warned his US counterpart that the bloc would retaliate to any tariffs.
“If we are attacked in terms of trade, Europe – as a true power – will have to stand up for itself and therefore react,” he said.
Emmanuel Macron arrived in Brussels on Monday for talks with fellow senior EU figures, including Ms Frederiksen (left) and Kaja Kallas (centre), a leading European diplomat - AFP/NICOLAS TUCAT
Ms Frederiksen said: “I will never support the idea of fighting allies. But of course, if the US puts tough terms on Europe, we need a collective and robust response.”
Michael Martin, the Irish prime minister, also called on EU states to “act as one” if Mr Trump followed through on his threat, while Olaf Scholz, the German chancellor, said a trade war would be bad both for Europe and the US.
Kaja Kallas, a leading EU diplomat and the former Estonian prime minister, said there were “no winners in trade wars” and warned that if one did break out “then the one laughing on the side is China”.
Meanwhile, other EU leaders called for talks with Mr Trump to avoid any tit-for-tat tariffs escalating into a trade war.
Petteri Orpo, Finland’s prime minister, said: “We have to negotiate with Trump. I’m not going to start a war. I want to start negotiations.”
Gitanas Nauseda, the Lithuanian president, also suggested that Europe could buy more weapons and liquefied natural gas from the US.
He said: “We have to propose something that could be interesting and attractive for the United States like free trade agreements in the automotive industry or buying more energy resources.”
An EU official said the European leaders in Brussels had “expressed their full support and solidarity with Denmark, and recalled the relevant principles of international law”.
They added: “There was a strong consensus about the fact that tariffs between the US and EU would be harmful for both sides.”
Some around the table were said to have urged a more positive outlook in US-EU relations and warned that problems would arise from time to time.
Mute Egede, Greenland’s prime minister, has consistently said the island is not for sale and wants to be independent of both Denmark and the US.
The territory of just 57,000 people moved to ban foreign and anonymous donations to its political parties on Monday ahead of elections due by April 6.
The emergency bill referenced Elon Musk’s donations to Mr Trump’s presidential campaign and Greenland’s “vulnerability” to foreign influence.
The parliamentary proposal warned that even modest donations would have a “colossal” impact on the sparsely populated island, The Financial Times reported.
Foreign or anonymous donations “could potentially distort completely the chances of Greenlandic parties participating in an election campaign”, its government said.
“The current bill ... must be seen in the light of the geopolitical interest in Greenland, and the current situation where representatives of a great allied power have expressed an interest in taking over and controlling Greenland,” the proposal said.

Lefty bull sh1t stinks. I can smell it from here. Worse than the local hog manure.
More new manure this morning. Democrats demand we fire Elon.
In their dreams.
After they called us ALL names for 6 years, I could give a rats ass for anything the Democrats say.
Constant propaganda has left a mark. I will NEVER forget.
Anyone who still claims to support Democrats needs checked out by a mental health professional immediately.

On January 22nd, Trump signed a series of executive orders at the White House, imposing a 25% tariff on imported goods from Canada and Mexico and a 10% tariff on goods from China. This decision was tentatively set to take effect from February 1, 2024. On February 3rd, he signed another executive order to suspend the imposition of tariffs on goods from Canada and Mexico and postponed their implementation until March 4, 2025.
The Chinese made a routine response on the afternoon of January 22nd. But then, on February 2nd, the Ministry of Commerce of China released the news. The spokesperson of the Ministry of Commerce made a statement on the United States' announcement of imposing a 10% tariff on Chinese goods exported to the United States. The timing of this is just too coincidental.
Guys, I'm not saying that Mr. President has given in to China. It's a common choice to mess up the situation when it's unclear.I'm not sure if there is a causal relationship between them. I just described a phenomenon.

Perhaps link to some source material.
The Chinese tariff is totally different than the Mexico and Canadian tariffs.
But what is your actual point. Listing E-O's and dates doesn't mean anything.
He wants us to believe that Trump folded from pressure by the Mexicans and the Canadians.
That's the liberal bullshit buzz right now. That Trump is weak.
I hate liars. And seeing all the stuff Musk's crew is uncovering, it proves once again that liberals are a lying, cheating, and stealing racket.
So much money. It's sickening.

How do you reconcile the fact that the left practices activist journalism combined with confirmation bias?
I mean how many lies have we caught the left in red handed? How do you feel knowing that for instance USIAD was paying millions of tax dollars to fund left wing "news" sites like politico and other left-wing news and fact checkers? (propaganda is the operative word)
How do you reconcile the left got its ever-loving ass handed to it last November? And yet they will impeach Trump in their dreams?
Hell, your party damn near killed the man and then tried to cover that up as well.
If you're not America first, then what the hell are you?
Finally, you need to understand the truth. Your side hates Trump. Conversely on my side of the fence we hate every lying cheating stealing rioting looting and burning Democrat on the planet.
Are you surprised? You sure as hell shouldn't be.

Okay, I think what you're trying to say is that China has promised retaliatory tariffs on U.S. products in response to Trump's promised tariffs on Chinese products. China actually promised 10% tariffs on crude oil, agricultural machinery, and pickup trucks, and 15% tariffs on coal and liquefied natural gas. See story here:
China strikes back at Trump, retaliating with new tariffs as it 'firmly opposes' US plan
President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping are expected to talk in "the next couple days," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said Monday.
abcnews.go.com
Trump and Xi plan to talk next week prior to any tariffs going into effect on either side. This appears to be Trump's opening salvo as a way to bring China to the table to negotiate on a range of issues.
So, I'm not quite sure where you see Trump bowing to China in any way. In fact, based on Trump's negotiating history, I think we can expect a good deal for the U.S. to come from this.
