squistion

I seriously doubt that it will be a huge part of his political campaign, although it will be a talking point the GOP and MAGA crowd uses against him.

"A Drag Christmas Spectacular" sounds like it would be really fun to see.

I didn't post pornography IMO, although what I did post was, shall we say, somewhat suggestive. And I have never once called for violence and if you think I have, I would like to see a link to that.

Per a DM I received from him, The Real timschochet has informed me that he has been banned from this site. This occurred after an exchange with another poster earlier today in the Brown Shooting thread. I was following the exchange in real time as it happened, however all posts involved in that have been deleted, so I don't feel comfortable disclosing who the other poster was, nor repeating what was said. From Tim's DM to me: If you would, please let the folks there know what happened and give my high regards to the people I engaged there in good discussion. Thanks.

With Trump appearing to send the US economy over a cliff with his tariffs, it seems not a question of if, but when there will be a recession. In this thread we can discuss the events leading up to this and the consequences once it hits. Hope I am wrong on this but I kinda doubt it. https://x.com/kylegriffin1/status/1909984660974690757 JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon says on Fox Business the U.S. economy is likely headed for a recession as a result of Trump’s tariffs.

From The Presidential Prayer Team? And you believe these unverified stats are legitimate, you will believe anything.

Of course no link in the OP.

https://x.com/mariashriver/status/2002135972213829727 Maria Shriver @mariashriver Adding your name to a memorial already named in honor of a great man doesn’t make you a great man. Quite the contrary. Putting your name on top of someone else’s doesn’t mean that people will speak of you in the same breath as the other man. Putting your name above another man’s name on his existing memorial… What is that about? Truly? What’s that about? Do you want people to speak the names as one? Dig down deep. What are you trying to say? I’m really interested. There is no other president who would do this. None. Zero. In fact, it’s not even legal. Congress named the performing arts center as a living memorial in 1964, and only congress can change that law. This will always be the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Art. A great man would have said to his hand picked board, “Thank you, but the building already has its name. Let it stand. Let it be. I don’t need that.” But then again…

Newsom to Trump: "You are playing with fire, risking the destabilization of our democracy, while knowing that California can neutralize any gains you hope to make." "If you will not stand down, I will be forced to lead an effort to redraw the maps in California to offset the rigging of maps in red states."

Please. Mamdani is not their arch enemy. Where do you come up with this nonsense? AI Overview Zohran Mamdani has strongly supported the LGBTQ+ community, advocating for transgender healthcare, creating LGBTQ+ affairs offices, promoting sanctuary city status for LGBTQ+ individuals, and supporting constitutional protections for sexual orientation and gender identity He actively campaigned on these platforms, including plans for significant investment in transgender health and making NYC an LGBTQ+ sanctuary.

They might. Rachel Maddow has talked about the rise of antisemitism in this country, and I have seen the topic discussed on MSNBC/MSNOW from time to time. However, I don't think either network would reverse engineer a story like The New York Post seems to have done here...wanting to portray Jews in NYC as being "scared" and then finding some Jewish activist students to interview and prove that point.

From the Rupert Murdock owned tabloid, The New York Post, give me a break.

His name is now on the building.

If so it is not because of Mamdani.

This post hasn't aged well.

Yes, but to the original name that the indigenous people had called it for centuries. And he didn't name it Mount Obama to glorify himself.

That is complete BS, Hell Toupee and you know it. Your anti-Muslim hatred and bias is showing once again. If they had found it, then they would have known that anyone else could also find it, and that there would be a scandal, which is exactly what happened. So, obviously they weren't aware of these tweets.

Isn't the fact that she was forced to resign proof that the Mamdani administration is not antisemitic? These were ten year old tweets that were obviously missed in the vetting process and if they had been seen I'm sure she never would have been appointed.

So a 48 year old Portuguese national shouted "Allahu Akbar!" before the shootings?

Lets start with his 2025 statements about Canada, fact checked by Daniel Dale of CNN: https://www.cnn.com/2025/03/12/politics/fact-check-trump-canada-claims/index.html Fact check: Nine Trump false claims about Canada WashingtonCNN — President Donald Trump keeps saying he wants Canada to become the 51st US state. To support his pitch, he keeps making false claims about Canada. In 2025 alone, Trump has: Falsely said the Canadian public likes the idea of becoming the 51st state, which the Canadian public overwhelmingly opposes Falsely said the US trade deficit with Canada is “$200 billion,” though it is nowhere close Falsely said Canada is one of the world’s highest-tariff countries, though it is actually low in global rankings Falsely said Canada hiked its dairy tariffs during the Biden administration, though they haven’t changed since Trump’s first presidency Falsely said Canada generally doesn’t “take” US agricultural exports, though Canada is the world’s second-biggest buyer of those exports Falsely said Canada prohibits US banks, though more than a dozen US banks are operating in Canada today Falsely said Canada is “constantly surrounded” by Chinese and Russian ships, though this is fiction Falsely said outgoing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was using the ongoing tariff battle to run again for prime minister, though Trudeau clearly wasn’t running Falsely said Canada spends less than 1% of gross domestic product on defense, though NATO figures showed it was an estimated 1.37% last year Here is a fact check of these false statements. Canadians’ views on becoming the 51st state: Trump falsely claimed to reporters in January that “the people of Canada like” his idea of Canada joining the US. In fact, poll after poll has shown the idea is massively unpopular with the people of Canada – one recent poll had 85% opposed, 9% in favor – and it has been vehemently rejected by Canadian political leaders from left to right. The US trade deficit with Canada: Trump has repeatedly said the US has a “$200 billion” trade deficit with Canada. That’s not even close to true. Official US statistics show the 2024 deficit with Canada in goods and services trade was $35.7 billion. Even if you only count trade in goods and ignore the services trade at which the US excels, the deficit was $70.6 billion. Canada’s tariffs: Trump falsely claimed in a social media post Tuesday that Canada is “ONE OF THE HIGHEST TARIFFING NATIONS ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD.” In fact, Canada has long had relatively low tariffs, though it has this month announced a series of new retaliatory tariffs on the US in direct response to Trump’s own new tariffs on Canada. Canada was just 102nd-highest on a World Bank list of 137 countries’ trade-weighted average tariff rates in 2022 – and had a lower average (1.37%) than the United States (1.49%) that year, the most recent for which the data is available. Canada’s dairy tariffs: Trump falsely claimed to reporters Friday that he had Canada’s dairy-tariff situation “well taken care of” at the time he left office the first time, “but under Biden, they just kept raising it.” In fact, Canada did not raise its dairy tariffs during the Biden administration. The tariffs Trump is denouncing were left in place by the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement he signed in 2018, though that agreement did secure greater US access to the Canadian dairy market. Trump has also persistently failed to mention that Canada’s high dairy tariffs only kick in after the US has hit a certain Trump-negotiated quantity of tariff-free dairy sales to Canada each year – and as the US dairy industry acknowledges, the US is not hitting its zero-tariff maximum in any category of dairy product, so the tariffs aren’t being applied. Canada’s imports of US agricultural products: Trump, speaking of Canada, claimed to reporters in February that “they don’t take our agricultural product for the most part”; he mentioned dairy, then said, “A little bit they do, but not much.” This is false even with Trump’s qualifiers. Canada was the world’s second-largest buyer of US agricultural exports in 2024, according to the US Department of Agriculture, purchasing about $28.4 billion worth. While Canada does limit foreign access to its dairy, egg and poultry markets in particular, these are exceptions rather than the rule. The US Department of Agriculture notes on its website that “almost all” US agricultural exports to Canada face zero tariffs or quotas, and that “Canada consistently ranks among our top markets for agricultural product exports, representing one of our most significant and reliable trading partners.” Canada and US banks: Trump falsely claimed in both February and March that Canada prohibits US banks. While Canada’s tight regulations have discouraged many foreign banks from opening retail branches there, Canada does not forbid these banks; in fact, US banks have been operating in Canada for well over a century. The Canadian Bankers Association industry group said in a February statement that “there are 16 U.S.-based bank subsidiaries and branches with around C$113 billion in assets currently operating in Canada” and that “U.S. banks now make up approximately half of all foreign bank assets in Canada.” Canada, Russia and China: Trump falsely claimed in a January social media post that Canada joining the US would secure Canada “from the threat of the Russian and Chinese Ships that are constantly surrounding them.” Canada has never been surrounded by Russian and Chinese ships, let alone been “constantly” surrounded. In fact, a smattering of Russian and Chinese military ships and jets, as well as Chinese research vessels viewed with suspicion by Canada and the US, have been occasionally spotted in recent years in the vicinity of the US state of Alaska – and have been monitored or intercepted by the Canadian and US militaries. The Canadian government did warn in December that among the “potential threats” in its Arctic region were “increased Russian activity in Canadian air approaches” and “China’s regular deployment of dual-use – having both research and military application – research vessels and surveillance platforms to collect data.” But that’s not the same as being “surrounded.” Trudeau and the trade war: Trump said in a social media post Thursday: “I think that Justin Trudeau is using the Tariff problem, which he has largely caused, in order to run again for Prime Minister.” Trump framed this as his own thought, but it was clearly false nonetheless. Trudeau’s successor as Liberal Party leader and prime minister was set to be chosen in a party vote three days following this Trump post; Trudeau did not compete in the leadership race after announcing in January that he would step down after the new leader was chosen. Canada’s defense spending: Trump falsely claimed in January that Canada spends “less than 1%” of GDP on defense. Official NATO figures show Canada spent an estimated 1.37% of GDP on defense in 2024, up from an estimated 1.31% in 2023 and from 1.2% in 2022. That’s all short of NATO’s 2% target, which incoming prime minister Mark Carney has vowed to meet by 2030, but not as low as Trump claimed.

Hopefully you are right:
