@chucktodd FFS, I’m pretty sure deliberately injecting millions of unvaccinated illegals into the country from countries where measles is actually a problem had nothing to do with it.
@FarrowMia40582 You really are getting soft in the head as you age.
You just posted something that by app accounts Trump never wrote but you’re own mental state allowed you to react rather than verify
@smart_guy_77@PurebredChaos99@alleria_eh You’re arguing against a point I didn’t make. The issue isn’t whether some U.S. dairy enters Canada—it’s whether Canada has fully honored the market access it agreed to under USMCA. That’s why there have been repeated USMCA dispute panels. The diarrhea comment is rhetoric.
@smart_guy_77@ElGato66502@PurebredChaos99@alleria_eh Investment in what? Boycotting U.S. products has already hurt Canadian businesses—especially restaurants, liquor distributors, retailers, and other small businesses. Those costs don’t disappear.
@smart_guy_77@PurebredChaos99@alleria_eh You’re treating fentanyl as the only issue when it wasn’t. The broader dispute also involved longstanding trade grievances, including Canada’s 200%+ dairy tariffs and USMCA compliance. Context matters.
@smart_guy_77@PurebredChaos99@alleria_eh Canada First” isn’t the same as shielding your market with 200%+ tariffs, fighting over USMCA compliance, and then pretending the U.S. acted out of nowhere. Actions have consequences.
@smart_guy_77@ElGato66502@PurebredChaos99@alleria_eh 1 quarter of growth doesn’t undo a recession or guarantee a healthy economy. The real question is where Canada is headed over the next several years. The alcohol and wine sectors have already taken a significant hit, and businesses won’t simply bounce back because one GDP report.
@smart_guy_77@alleria_eh@PurebredChaos99 You’re confusing USMCA with what happened afterward. USMCA didn’t end Canada’s protected dairy system, and both the Trump and Biden administrations challenged Canada’s compliance. Saying “Trump liked USMCA” doesn’t mean every later trade dispute was imaginary.
@smart_guy_77@PurebredChaos99@alleria_eh I live here full-time. If you think every American expat in the DR opposes Trump, you’re mistaken. There are plenty who support him, along with conservative Canadians and many Dominicans who share similar views. Being friendly isn’t a political litmus test.
@dragonram7924@AshleySinclair0@hannahcrileyy Her experience includes managing a state agency, workforce programs, and serving on statewide boards demonstrates executive and public policy experience.
Democrats with less experience:
Jon Ossoff, Raphael Warnock, and Elizabeth Warren
@alleria_eh@PurebredChaos99@smart_guy_77 Canada wasn’t an innocent bystander. It maintained tariffs exceeding 200% on some U.S. dairy products and used restrictive import quotas to protect its market. Those barriers were a major Trump grievance long before the latest tariffs.
@smart_guy_77@alleria_eh@PurebredChaos99 Canadians tend to overestimate their impact. Canada is only about 1.5% of U.S. tourism. Vegas has bigger problems than fewer Canadian visitors - high prices and weaker overall demand are driving the slowdown.
@The_FJC Appoint ing a close family member to temporarily fill a Senate vacancy isn’t new. Both parties have done it. Democrats like Hattie Caraway, Muriel Humphrey, and Jocelyn Burdick all entered the Senate after the deaths of their husbands.
