Who’s in charge of telling little e that Mexico and Canada caved and the tariffs aren’t going to start?

They are only paused 30 days, so we get to do it all again then, I guess. From what I've read the caving from each is as follows

Mexico agreed to send 10,000 troops to the border and Trump promised to do more to stop the arms going south to arm the cartels.

Canada had announced C$1.3B more on the border & fentanyl in December, and they have now added C$200M and said they'd have a fentanyl czar.

I agree that both countries need to be much more invested in border security and preventing drug smuggling, and getting them to do so is a very good thing.

TBH, I'm a little surprised at the hard on to "get" Canada. For fentanyl, the amount smuggled from there is minuscule. There has been a considerable increase in illegals in the last few years though, so that piece is probably fair game, although whether it is worth a threatened full-on trade war seems OTT, but that's a style thing for Trump it appears and it does get everyone focused on a solution pretty quickly.

Kudos on Mexico and Canada, but those aren't major victories. More optics than substance. (Colombia was a bigger flip).

Now if he can get material concessions from China that would be a major victory.

I thought the Colombia thing had to do with using the USAF and the immigrants being handcuffed. They had accepted planes in January already, just not military ones.

China is the main source of fentanyl ingredients, although recently there have been a couple reported from India also. I agree, China needs to lock that down, which given it is an authoritarian state, one would think that's a pretty easy thing for them to do if they really want to.

You may be right about Colombia.

From Jim Wright on FB --

Musk and his team of dodgy 18-year-olds went into sensitive government networks, hooked up their own storage systems, and downloaded the personal information of every American. Various politicians, some even Republican, are in the words of Susan Collins "very concerned." The press is variously surprised, appalled, and aghast. There are rising calls for Musk's removal.

BUT, here's the part they're all missing: Even if we throw Musk out, HE STILL HAS OUR INFORMATION. He still has our personal information. All of it. All of your private information. Everything the government knows about you. Your identity, your bank accounts, your credit cards, your tax information, the property you own, all of it. Every detail. There's a reason why that information was protected. Musk's companies now have it and whoever they decide to sell it to has it. If one of those unvetted, uncleared, unknown 18-year-olds made a copy, they have it. If any of them are compromised, if Musk's corporate data systems are penetrated by our adversaries, then they have it too. China. Nigeria. Hackers. Thieves. Enemy intelligence agencies. Marketing executives.

There's nothing to stop Musk. He doesn't work for us. He's not accountable to the people or their representatives in any fashion. And he has repeatedly demonstrated that his loyalty to American is tenuous at best. His only allegiance is to profit.

What do you think Trump will do with that information?

This is the greatest Identity Theft in history.
___
Addendum: Musk now has all the personal and financial information of his rivals. Bezos. Zuckerberg. Trump even. Give that some thought.

Who is Jim Wright and why is his Facebook page the most credible source he has? Does the guy do your taxes or mow your lawn?

Keep the fucking drugs out of our country. Big time victory watty. The Marines and Army are now on our boarder with the other countries troops. They are taking down the cartel. I lost a family member, and I witnessed firsthand the struggles of pain of losing a loved one like this. I also witnessed firsthand a friends family cry all day and night because their dad died from the jabs. I also witnessed firsthand people getting fired for saying no to the jabs. This is a huge win!!! Kamala and crooked Joe allowed 500,000 kids to go missing.

Americans traveling to foreign countries have long been advised to pose as Canadians when out in public. What do we pose as when visiting Canada?

Foreigners know an American right off no disguising that. They use to smile, then they put up with us and now they sneer.

The deal entails things that were already happening . . . short of naming a “fentanyl czar”, lol!

Do you still claim to be all about the children after posting pictures of minors that are going through identity struggles?

I'll tell you why I posted the photo of Megan Fox and her 3 kids. Not because I'm insensitive to adults or children with body dysmorphia, not because I think it must not be that bad, not because it's a big joke and not because innocent kids should be picked on.

I did it to point out the fucking lunacy of a celebrity parent trying to tell everyone her 3 boys are all trans. Like everything else that comes with people dealing with being gay or trans or whatever, it's the extremists that make a mockery out of the situation. Why? For attention. Why else? Why else would you do something that mentally deranged? That's what pisses people off. We need to stop encouraging and normalizing this bullshit. When I see a woman with blue hair and a bone through her nose, I already know she's a headcase and her pronouns are "unstable" and "unmedicated".
