    It’s not dumb only if their intent is to destroy the US and the West from within for Putin.

      He bankrupted his casinos, and he intends to do the same to US.

        “Nobody knows more about bankrupting your own businesses like I do. People ask me, how can you bankrupt a casino? They’re money printers! And I tell them, I’m the best there is at it. I’m going to make this country the most bankrupt country there is and it is going to be so beautiful. People love me for this. They love me bigly.”

      It’s still dumb. He’s forcing the west to reconfigure itself into a new economic structure that leaves the USA out of the loop. That will weaken us in the short term, but strengthen us in the long term (especially once Trump is gone and the USA joins the new global economic structure, albeit in a weakened capacity.) However, since Putin’s been in a quagmire in Ukraine for the past three years he’s not in a position to exploit that short-term weakness.

      This is a case of Trump’s idiocy overtaking his usefulness.

    I live in a pretty liberal city (thank god). After the election the one neighbor who supported Trump proudly flew his Trump flag. Within the last few days the flag has been removed. I can’t tell if I’m happy he took it down or just real fucking pissed off. I’d like to think my neighbor has finally gotten it through his thick skull but I really think he should be forced to fly that flag so people know what a cunt he is.

      I think Trudeau is best when he gets to lead a country, and not have to deal with politics. I mean, he’s not the best policy maker, IMO, but we’ve had worse PMs. Whenever he has to do “politics” stuff though he’s… well, bad.

                Is it bad that I’m kind of glad not to have come into adulthood until after this guy was gone? Like I feel like from what I’ve heard, if heard it now from a prime minister, I’d probably lose my fucking mind.

                But who knows, maybe we’ll see a 2.0 in a couple months and all get to experience an exceptionally bad PM (hopefully not).

                  No, that makes sense. I just missed him aswell/only had a couple years of it and it’s definitely nice to be able to look back on it instead of live it.

                  And yea, PP was his right-hand guy or whatever during that time and has always been a real douche. He didn’t grow into a conservative, he’s always been that guy. Sequels are so often clunkier exaggerations to capitalize off previous success, instead of doing their own things, and if PP gets in that’s what we’re gunna be dealing with.

      He’s always handled good under pressure. Is argue he was also the best we could have gotten during the pandemic and I’m saying this as someone who was equally happy with Ford during the pandemic and also happy with Ford during this tarriff bullshit. Ford can suck a massive bag of dicks but I can’t hate him on his response for this.

        Imo, Ford fucked the pandemic response. He turned down billions from the feds. Hospitals had to do temp shutdowns. Took too long to do anything about the clownvoy. The only reason more ontarians didn’t die is because of the federal health minister

      I don’t think he actually said that though, the only quote I saw that included the word dumb was “It’s not in my habit to agree with The Wall Street Journal. Donald, they point out that even though you’re a very smart guy, this is a very dumb thing to do”.

        Yes. He heaped praise and then separated the dumb actions from the ‘smart’ person. This is how a parent could talk to a child.

      Trudeau did adopt some of Trump’s lingo when addressing him –by his forename, as you point out–, using “big” several times and referring to some treaty they negotiated as a “deal”. He also slowed down, as if talking to someone with impaired understanding. Finally, Trudeau delivered this gem:

      Now, it’s not in my habit to agree with the Wall Street Journal, but Donald, they point out that, even though you’re a very smart guy, this is a very dumb thing to do.

      — starting at 10:34 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eT_ePmJyIcw

      It was brilliant; out in plain sight for anyone with mild linguistic skills yet too subtle for the Trump base to grasp any of it.

        I thought the same. He was subtly talking down to him, even while complementing him. He should have done a subtle hand thing, from back when Trump bullied the disabled guy and then denied it.

        Vance sees insults everywhere, so I wonder if he caught it.
