    Canada folds to Trump's demands and strikes $3 billion border deal

    'I just had a good call with President Trump,' he posted on X.

    'Canada is implementing our $1.3 billion border plan—reinforcing the border with new choppers, technology and personnel, enhanced coordination with our American partners, and increased resources to stop the flow of fentanyl.

    'Nearly 10,000 frontline personnel are and will be working on protecting the border.'

    It comes after Trump at the weekend announced he was preparing to slap 25 percent tariffs on imports from north of the border.

    You are all an embarrassment to the Founding Fathers and founding principles of our Nation to "provide and support the common good."

    Words like "deportations", "purges", and "ideology eliminated" - those words belong beside "Final Solution", "dictatorship", "gulag" and "concentration camp", not in America.

    So let us know when you are done <checks notes> "winning", so we can stop laughing at you and your fellow MAGAts who have clearly gone off the deep end.

    FYI - DOGE isn't a an actual government department and they can't save billions, because Congress controls the purse strings, not Elon Musk with his Nazi salutes or even Stephen Miller with grandiose plans and his little hand signals to the white supremiscists.

    What is ACTUALLY happening is much akin to delusional people on the corner telling us the world is coming to an end, but we are all pretty sure it will be here tomorrow. You'll break some windows, shout your slogans, and then the police will cart you off - either to prison or a graveyard.

    So know that your place is history is assured. It will be a footnote between somewhere between real Nazis and secessionists, both defeated and thrown into the dustbin of history.

    There are good reasons for that - the first being that real "patriots" are ready to punch your looney tickets the next time we see you in our Capitol after beating up police officers. The next is that I doubt you will muster up the intestinal fortitude to die for DOGE, MAGA, Trump or Musk - and they surely won't die for you when they can hide in a bunker or jet off to a non-extradition country. What good is grifting on the scale they are currently are without getting to spend the money they took from you mooks?

    So when your delusions come crashing down around you and you one day realize what you REALLY ARE, I just hope you have time to tell the dude lighting you up that you would like to surrender.

    Hopefully he/she/they will be taking prisoners - I am of the opinion that people with bad ideas don't change, they just die and the world moves on.

    The one that they announced 6 weeks ago under Biden? Nice. You realize Trump makes you look like a fool to any normal person, right?

    "Who the hell made these deals they are so bad?"

    Well, that would be you Mr. Dealmaker Trump. Dude is so far gone he has no idea what is going on. There is a non-zero chance he thinks he is in his first term and forgot the last 6 years.



    Here is him bragging about the great USMCA deal that he now hates. Would be funny if his mental acuity werent so scary.

    Get off your comie white horse. The founding fathers never envisioned income tax, much less than 30%-50% when you add in state and local income taxes.

    Income taxes were created to help finance the Civil War, long after the founding fathers. For World War I, the highest tax rate was 7%, which was to finance the war.

    Then the commie liberals have increased it to upwards of 40%-50% when you include state and local taxes. The founding fathers never envisioned over taxation, and certainly never envisions taxing citizens to provide charity to the rest of the world. The history of income tax was to pay for wars, not charity.
