    Mark Carney fact checks Donald Trump:

    Trump: “We don’t do much business with Canada.”

    Carney: “Respectfully, we are the largest client of the United States.”

    Folks should ignore the demand and be sure to read the terms and conditions of the starlink agreement. I get ads for my very own starlink for a mere $350.00 introductory offer. I’d rather read papyrus.

    And lo and behold, the fine print. From Letter From An American:

    Starlink ties into Musk’s plans for Mars. In November 2024, SpaceX pitched NASA on creating Marslink, a version of Starlink that would link to Mars, and Starlink’s current terms of service specify that disputes over service on or around the planet Earth or the Moon will be governed by the laws of Texas but that “[f]or Services provided on Mars, or in transit to Mars via Starship or other spacecraft, the parties recognize Mars as a free planet and that no Earth-based government has authority or sovereignty over Martian activities. Accordingly, Disputes will be settled through self-governing principles, established in good faith, at the time of Martian settlement.”

    MUST WATCH: Karoline Leavitt just CONFIRMED Trump plans to slam Americans with a permanent 10% tax hike—even after trade deals are done.
    Let me translate: That’s a 10% price increase on everything you buy. Groceries. Cars. Medicine.

    Trump’s tax on the people is PERMANENT.

    You good with that?

    Our trade deal so far is no tariffs on Rolls Royces and Bentleys and our refugee policy is white South Africans only.

    China coming around on trade agreement? Try not to forget what the tariffs between the States and China were before Trump - zero. Now, they anounce a pause while they 'continue to negotiate', and tariffs from one direction are 10%, and from the other are 30%. Meanwhile, Trump's administration can't even consistently say whether or not they had even started to negotiate with China, as of a week ago. 

    A President don't deserve credit for hurling poop at the wall and then cleaning up three-quarters of it, promising to do the rest later. And that smear will start to stink really bad if it isn't dealt with. 

    As for the lowering prescription drug prices, if this changes, won't these drug manufacturers lose a substantial chunk of their profit which would've formerly been reinvested into further R&D? Does this change the calculus in where these drugs are/should be developed, between the States and elsewhere in the world?

    That is simply untrue. There were tariffs as high as 376% for certain food products from China. You just do not read about it in the newspaper because they are not levied on all products. Look up Section 301 tariffs. The US apparel and consumer goods industries have a very strong lobby and have mostly avoided high tariffs until this latest round. It is not an accident they are being significantly lowered.

    It's like this stupid ass plane. Boeing isn't moving fast enough for trump so he wants this "gift" from Qatar with all its gold decorations, etc.

    Imagine the cost of having to examine every square inch of this plane to clear it for listening devices and/or other security measures. What a fucking douche.
