Summary
In a virtual speech at the World Economic Forum, Trump suggested Canada could become a U.S. state to avoid his proposed tariffs on imports.
The remark elicited gasps from the audience.
Trump claimed the U.S. does not need Canadian lumber, energy, or vehicles, vastly overstating the trade deficit between the two nations.
He reiterated his intention to impose tariffs, potentially as high as 25%, on imports from Canada and Mexico starting February 1.
Economists warn such tariffs would raise prices for U.S. consumers.
Well… and then there’s the now published interference with the voting machines in the swing states that Harris did nothing about. I almost wonder if those 13 million would have come out, would it even have mattered? I understand SCOTUS would’ve said ok so what? But even a fucking requested recount to show there was fuckery going on would’ve at least been the documentation we needed to see to move ahead down the road.
The only one I’m aware of is in Michigan, where 3 Trump allies are now charged with tampering or planning to tamper with voting machines, and that case is moving forward.
Yea. Surprised it isn’t bigger news at least in the social media circles. There was this post on Jan 20th here: https://sh.itjust.works/post/31381451. Which lead me to read this letter a bunch of high level security officials sent to Harris … which apparently fell on dead ears, here: https://freespeechforpeople.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/letter-to-vp-harris-111324-1.pdf … and as much as I fucking hate conspiracy theories and the people behind them, there was this data analyst who made an extremely compelling data backed argument here: https://youtu.be/QDWwLDejg8Y?si=y_ckplWhEzun8nvq
Thanks for those links - the Nathan guy especially makes a lot of compelling points, even though they still could just be results defying polls. I don’t think the lack of news about this implies a lack of interest or that nobody is doing anything. If there is any substance to the vote swap idea I’m sure something will be uncovered, as anything on this scale would leave a lot of loose ends.
