boomer01 5597 Report post Posted February 3 What a fucking lunatic this man is . He's like a spoiled little kid and if he doesn't get what he wants he's even worse. This could mean some serious consequences for the world . Our economy will suffer and a recession is likely. What's even funnier is it will hurt his people even more. He has no filter , no decorum and for all the red neck dumb ass americans who voted him in should be ashamed of themselves. He insults people like a little child would . It's a total shit show . I fear for my retirement as I watch the Markets slide due to this asshole . I could go on forever . I applaud Trudeau for his very empowering speech yesterday . He may not be everyones favourite but at least he acts like a person who is running a country . Unlike Trump who is an egotistical self centered Hitler . Shame on the USA for punishing Canada . 4 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NewGuy_411 11 Report post Posted February 3 (edited) I mean , he is deffinitly doing some bad things. But he is also doing some okay things. Controversial, but none the less things that should be done for sure. As a Canadian, if I was an American. I woudnt have voted for him. But I would deffinitly not voted for Kamala either. Dei practices need to be removed and wiped out. I beleive EVERYONE should be given a fair chance. This obviously includes minorities as well. Things should most deffinitly be judged on there merit. Such as job positions. Not just because someone is a minority. If the minority is more qualified for the position. Then they should get the position. NOT ONLY because they are a minority. I beleive Trump is trying to change that. For the better. Edited February 3 by NewGuy_411 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MikeyInHalifax 256 Report post Posted February 3 My two cents. Inflation will rise yet again. Things will become more expensive. Including the services of the lovely ladies. When people really start pinching pennies and demand drops off a cliff, does that equal lower rates from the service providers? 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wait, you just said service costs will increase, and then you said they should drop. That, in a nutshell is the problem. Nobody understands what the impact will be. For my money, this whole thing is going to just blow over in short order when the Trump Administration comes to realize just how co-dependent our 2 economies really are. Trump is going to try to play school yard bully for a bit, and then make some major announcement that Mexico and Canada have agreed to strengthen their borders, and then say, see what I did? Look at me go! Boomer, don't be scared, be brave. If you have any cash kicking around, it's a buying opportunity! Now, let's talk about how awesome MsManda is! Go see her, and believe me, you won't be thinking about tariffs! 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

boomer01 5597 Report post Posted February 4 To NewGuy 411 I respect your opinion and your right to have it are you truly following the news ?? Anything Trump does is only to boost his ego and agenda. It's clear that tariffs will harm the economy and hurt the American people too. I could go on and on but again it's my opinion and you and I will have to agree to disagree . He is the laughing stock of the world. He thinks that Mexico and Canada bowed to his pressure but they gave him pretty much which was offered mid Dec . Wow what a negotiator LOL Let's hope the next 30 days lead to a permanent resolution . Be brave yes but be smart too ! 2 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Be brave yes but be smart too ! Oh I agree. I don't like Trump at all. Not one bit. I think his Tarrifs are ridiculous and short sighted. As far as I'm concerned. Neither Trump nor Kamala or Biden should have been running and elected. Someone like Pete Budagage would have been great for the Democrats. And possibly a strong candidate for the Republicans would have been J.D Vance on his own. Edited February 4 by NewGuy_411 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But I would have to agree with spfan Msmanda. I have emailed you on 2 different occasions several days in advanve.. With no reply at all. Not until after the date i was hoping for has past and then to get a sorry I missed ypur message reply. It is hard to catch you at times. But , perhaps that is due to your extreme popularity. No disrespect or shade. I'm just saying. Ot can be hard at times to reach you by email. That's all. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MsManda 25741 Report post Posted February 5 That's fair! And sorry to keep missing you! I often don't respond to inquiries I can't accommodate, especially this past year with my neck injury - I prioritized my regular guests, and there was just no catching up fully on my admin with my good and bad days/weeks 😞 Now, a few days notice is often sufficient, but I'm also often booking well in advance. When I'm busy offline, I definitely get behind on my messages, so a little extra lead time (or sometimes a nudge) is always appreciated ❤️ 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As I wouod live to visit you again in the very near future. I will try to give 3 to 4 days notice as best I can this time instead of just 2 . Thank you for the update.

The people he wants to have a fair chance are white. And by fair, he means disproportionate. Dei makes everyone unqualified and reduces unqualified nepotism. You honestly need to think critically about your life and views if you genuinely view dei as a negative 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
