Re:QUOTES Date Posted:2025-02-23 10:05:09Copy HTML "Canada is the nice apartment over the meth lab." Robin Williams Nice reference to drugs there, something Turdope is fond of but not as much as the vast financial rewards the Chinese and drugs barons gain on it at the Vancouver border. The Chinese bring it in and the drugs barons on the US side refine it and out it goes to kill thousands. Not any more though and guess why? |

Re:QUOTES Date Posted:2025-02-24 06:27:00Copy HTML Is Joe Cocker a stage name? His real name is John Robert Cocker, but he went by Joe. In my opinion, his parents should have changed his first name to Joseph. |

Re:QUOTES Date Posted:2025-03-18 08:42:01Copy HTML It strikes me as a bit silly all this talk of Canada becoming the 51st state of the USA. Of course it won't! It's a Trump tactic to scare those north of the border into making concessions on trade, the same with Panama and Greenland. Even reports of him ordering a study into military action against Panama is a scare tactic. If he shouts loud enough and sounds dangerous he thinks it'll browbeat others into making concessions. You're playing chess with Fate and Fate's winning.

Re:QUOTES Date Posted:2025-03-18 11:24:41Copy HTML Thank you, Mark. Anyone with a scintilla of sense would recognize his tactics. I recently met two Canadian couples at the airport & struck up a conversation with them. The topics were mostly about the weather in Florida & hockey. Trump or politics were not mentioned. |
