  7. This guy has *some* legit points imo (but I don't agree on all—for ex, he says it's "strategic realism" to make US-Canada 'North American partnership' "more valuable to Washington" so is a "strategic asset" vs. a liability to the ; he seems to be on the Right).

    There's a link to trump's Nov 2025 "National Security Strategy" (Note: US gov't link); the admin clearly states its intention for the to dominate & direct the Western Hemisphere.

  17. and his admin are obviously trying to strong-arm into submitting to trump's will (currently concentrating on ), and subtle, joke-like threats that seem dumb (on the surface) are part of that.

    Duffy also mentioned how the US "provides security" for Canada, so the threat would be that the US would stop doing that.

  22. Duffy is an idiot, but he's not stupid. He knows Canada has a military. That's not the point.

    All of them in the admin do so much "joking," looking dumb, and throwing out distractions that they have enough plausible deniability to confuse people about their true intentions. But those are obvious too when one looks at how many times they repeat the same things over time...

  27. Why would Target think this was a good idea in the first place?

    "apologized on Monday and said it had pulled a Halloween costume from sale depicting a circus clown that critics said evoked ​Blackface and minstrel shows.

    "The product, sold as the "Kids' Glows Under Blacklight Circus Clown ‌Halloween Costume," prompted a backlash on social media, with some consumers saying it resembled a caricature."

  32. If you're outside the US, maybe you can see how there are basically 2 USAs — Trump World and everybody else.

    I am in the US, and the fact that Trump turned the streets of Washington DC into a Grand Prix-style urban racetrack was news to me, as it was to basically everyone else I know.

    A good chunk of the US population was not part of any of his 250th USA anniversary stuff and didn't care about the events at all (though we pay for much of the cost w/ our taxes).

  38. So I learned that the made Washington DC streets into a Grand Prix-style racetrack earlier today and had Indy racecars zoom around 147 times (of course 47 because of ).

    They made sure military planes and a bomber flew overhead (of course) and trump also flew over in his new plane (must be the one from Qatar).

    All of this was supposedly to celebrate the nation's 250th anniversary.

    Omg, I just heard an important person from the Center for Global Enterprise say basically the same thing I've been saying – that AI buildout (like w/ data center construction) will take a while (as will any bubbles popping, but he didn't use that term), and smaller players "will be squeezed out."

    c/o Bloomberg

    So, I had said about a decade, and I still hold to that, but let's say the range is about 7-12, maybe 15 years (and we've already gone through some).
