Excellent news....sends a clear shot across the bow against people who support money politics, for Musk failed in his mission to buy votes. Now, onwards and upwards, and bye bye Elon hopefully soon.

I think you are making a mistake writing down things that don't make any sense. Wiping Gaza and Iran off the face of the Earth? Are you insane? Have you ever been to Gaza or Iran? I have, and If you went, you would quickly realize that 99% of the people are perfectly normal, not to mention totally innocent. Consider the US....generally speaking, people are not at all concerned about average US citizens, but many, including myself, are concerned about the people who have leadership roles, as they have proven themselves to be clueless within only a couple of months of being in power. Secondly, denying due process to "so called" illegals is both legally and morally nonsensical. Everyone agrees that criminal aliens should be forced to leave, but even they deserve due process, for it is a LAW in the USA. Stop drinking the Trump Koolaid and come back to your senses!

As prices rise and 99% of the MAGA faithful start to realize that they have been duped into a bizarre cult, it will be hard for them to admit their miscalculations. But, as their 401k's tank, their social security payments don't arrive and their jobs disappear, they will finally understand what has happened. Its hard to imagine what will happen then, but it won't be pretty.

What a remarkable statement. Why do Yanks always seem to think that "might makes right"...? Lets see what you have to say when we turn off the power to about six million US households. Maybe you'll begin to realize a few things then...

Wrong. Canada is a proud, vibrant and sovereign country that will continue being strong and free. Where do some of you Yanks get your unwarranted arrogance from? Your country has been falling behind other developed countries for years and years. Look at your rankings in education, health care, infrastructure, etc....all falling apart. Nonetheless. you reserve the right to dictate to other countries that have no desire to emulate you in any shape or manner. Elbows up! Oh, and if you disagree, hit the link here and listen to what an American has to say about your country. It might offer you some insight that is clearly missing, likely due to a bad case of the Dunning Kruger effect.

It seems that anyone who uses logic ,the US constitution and the rule of law is a "drama queen" in your mind. Hope it all works out for you and your cult buddies.

This whole screw up has NOTHING to do with politics, for this is a national security issue. Any attempt at explaining away this egregious carelessness by setting up Biden as a "straw man" is nonsensical. Don't take my word for it, ....rather, lets examine the US criminal code, shall we? The penalties for disclosing Top Secret information outside approved US government channels include fines of up to US$250K and ten years in prison, under section 798 of Title 18, the United States Code federal criminal code. Was it "Top secret information' . Once again, I will avoid offering my opinion and defer to a former CIA director and Defense Secretary. “I don’t think there is any question that we are dealing with classified information. These are war plans,” Leon Panetta, a former CIA director and defense secretary, told MSNBC regarding Signalgate on Tuesday. Panetta said what was described in the report all qualifies as “highly classified information.” If these clearly unprofessional and unqualified MAGA cultists had just admitted from the get go that they had screwed up, 'Signalgate' might never happened. But, as the 'dream team' has been playing fast and loose with national security, they didn't want to be discovered as being habitual users of the easily hacked application. Additionally, they didn't want their conversations to go on the public record, so they preferred using Signal to avoid any sort of public scrutiny of their gross incompetence and amateurism. Bottom line is that this is NOT a political question, but rather an issue of comprised national security. As it stands, what other country would EVER want to share intelligence with the USA after this debacle? Oh, right....Russia, El Salvador and possibly North Korea, the new friends and allies of this pariah state.

Although nobody expects any accountability, Trump and his fascist friends will gradually come to the realization that the American people aren't quite as stupid as they believe. Pretty much everyone in the US is either friendly with or related to a person who has served in some capacity within the US military, and if you randomly asked ANY of those people, they would tell you that all of those sycophants running those departments should be fired and charged with disclosing top secret information. The penalties for disclosing Top Secret information outside approved US government channels include fines of up to US$250K and ten years in prison, under section 798 of Title 18, the United States Code federal criminal code." The Teflon Don is an expert at wiggling out of tricky situations, but I'm not convinced he and his moronic officials will get away with this one. All reactions: 44

Age 67. Daily five km walk near rice fields around sunset...lifting weights and barbells every second day, cycling three times a week, 25km each time. Plus, now that its hot, 45 minutes of swimming early in the morning. Despite doing all this for years, I still need to drop at least 10 kgs. Doh!

What a relief. Canada would never want you as the 11th province either!! America has new friends anyways, namely Russia and North Korea. Enjoy your well deserved PARIAH status. :-)

As there is no logical economic basis for the introduction of tariffs, the more likely reason for all this is the hatred that Trump has for Trudeau, who will be replaced today, btw. Hold on, did I use the word logical and Trump in the same sentence? Doh!!

Elbows out, and UP!!

Since marrying a Thai lady 30 years ago, I've supported my wife's parents, put her niece through university, paid for her mums many medical procedures, a nephew through college and am currently supporting a 12 years old grand niece and my wife's dad, who is now 90 years old. I gave her brother some land to build a house on as thanks for helping us put up our house, and regularly employ some local folks to help us cut back some jungle and keep the house clean. Although I wasn't always happy to assist, things have worked out well and I have a strong and intact family that always steps up when i need help of any kind. My attitude towards all this has softened over the years, but hey, you can't take it with you, so....

Sadly, it seems that way. A tiny bit of context for you....my ancestors on my father's side came to a land that later became known as Canada in 1609. Anyone who tries to tell me that I come from a place "not worth saving" is not getting a free pass from me, parrot or not.

Interesting comment. Pray tell...what makes you think that Canada is already beyond saving? Could it be their supremacy in ice hockey, their respect for their own citizens, their acceptance of non white people as valued members of society, their hatred of intolerance, their protection of nature, their willingness to help Americans in times of trouble (housing people unable to fly during 911), helping put out fires in LA, spilling blood in Afghanistan, etc etc ad infin. Canada isn't perfect, but an ill considered, abusive and sweeping statement that it is "beyond saving" is a bit rich.
