Hey I thought those guys were all Antifa and BLM
It became patently obvious that once he got rid of everyone from Twitter and became a free speech absolutist while cracking down on things he disagreed with that he didn't care to make Twitter better, but to use it as a right wing outrage machine.Elon Musk's and X's Role in 2024 Election Interference

Make sure everyone refers to him as President Musk* and give him all the credit for winning the election.
* yes, I know there is a puppet master up his butt; a human centipede broligarchy, if you will.

Cool. Good times over there. I’m really hoping this wave of fundamentalism and racism stokes some patriotism and pride in the true Canadian way of life and rally against this trend. I have to believe, in my heart, that the vast majority of Canadians are not on board with this.
But my god, what a shit show. We are witnessing history in one of the worst ways.

Fauci's $15,000,000 per year security detail and drivers paid by the government now canceled. So Trump is already saving resources.
I have never seen a politician execute as rapidly as the pace since Nov 6th. And he actually is delivering on pre-election promises, which I didn't expect TBH.
I had initially planned a reasoned response to this until I realized I was spending time I'd never get back.

That’s a drop in the bucket in terms of how much the US government spends. It’s a rounding error. It’s not saving resources. It’s pettiness.
You understand what the implication here is right? This has absolutely nothing to do with cost savings.
Honestly I know I’m completely wasting my time typing this.

Elon has already eliminated $420,000,000 off the federal budget during the first week.
Over the past 20 years, he took a government agency and reduced the costs by 90 to 95%. Meaning every $100 spent before by NASA, now he is able to accomplish with about $5 with SpaceX. SpaceX in its short history has put more objects into orbit than US, USSR/Russia, China, India, France combined!
I hope he can shrink federal spending by 20% to 30% to make US more stable and reduce taxes.
And maybe Canada can learn from that too. Carbon Tax, Capital Gains to 66.7% and Toronto City Tax increase is the true Idiocracy.

Because it's always about Trudeau
Can't wait for the next guy to accumulate scar tissue and failures and see everyone contort themselves as to why it's actually totally fine, instead of being critical and impartial. And I really don't care for Chrystia Freeland and hope she doesn't win the Liberal nom, but it's very telling that you completely glossed over the fact that she worked in multiple capacities at the Financial Times and wrote books on Russia's move from communism to capitalism and one on Plutocracy. She was also a Rhodes scholar so you characterization of her as a "journalist" truly shows you're not willing to truly look at facts, but your views on Trump already told me that.It's funny really because I've been contemplating who to vote for in the next election as someone who's voted for every major political party in the past, and it's this dogmatic crap (the right falls in line) from hardcore conservative voters that really puts me off voting conservative.Speaking of people not qualified to be in positions of power, we can see this play out right now in the US. RFK jr. is going to be a disastrous pick who's been a kook on so many topics on health (yes, every broken clock is right twice a day, but on the whole his ideas are not scientifically backed). "BUT HE'S JUST ASKING QUESTIONS!" Right. And coming to conclusions so wrong that his own family is disowning him. In this case I'd rather have a reasonably rational journalist at the post than a pernicious lawyer.
Anyway, there's really no purpose in arguing with a Trumper, especially a Canadian one when he's threatening Canada the way he has. I've never really agreed with the Toronto Sun, but I agree with the article below. And now I'm done with this thread.
RFK Jr: Fact-checking his views on health policy
Robert F Kennedy Jr has been nominated to be the next US health secretary, but some of his views are not backed by science.

KINSELLA: If you support Trump over Canada, get the hell out
What Trump is actively promoting is not entirely unlike the pro-Hamas forces' 'from the river to the sea,' is it?
