Comment When the US threatens to invate neighbors... (Score 5, Insightful) 145

Yea, Trump making threats about the USA taking over Canada and Greenland makes the USA seem like such a great ally with the trade war that is entirely caused by Donald Trump and no one else. So, Europe should side with the USA because....Trump is the bigger threat to world peace?

Comment Lots of missing information in the "article" (Score 1) 9

The issue appears to have been limited to a small number of Exynos based phones, so it wasn't all of them, it wasn't most of them, but there were enough to make Samsung pause the update until the scope of the problem could be identified. Now, it could be that there is an app or a type of app that is causing the problem, so yes, it's critical, but wouldn't affect those not using the app(s) that cause the problem in the first place. For those who have carrier locked versions, we already get to wait for updates while the carrier branding and carrier-specific apps go through the QA process, so I'm not sure that a week pause due to this will actually affect those users.

No, you misunderstand. Calling a fascist a fascist isn't going to make uninformed people think or do anything different, but, if the Democrats had put forward bill after bill that would help the typical Republican voter, and Republicans keep voting it down or keep it from going to a vote, then the Democrats should have THAT in every newspaper and on every news program, make THAT the issue of the day. That is how you make these people see that Republicans aren't trying to help them when they block every attempt to help them.

No, the Democratic Party has been dominated by pussies who are afraid to shame the Republicans in public when they do things that hurt the citizens of the USA(never mind those who are here and are not citizens).

As far as distasteful policies, other than continuing to give aid to Israel, the general Democratic policies are better for EVERYONE. They just don't sell those policies as being better when it comes to the economy as well as they should.

Learn your history. Going back into the 1960s and 70s, companies were already starting to have manufacturing done in China. Republicans were all in on that approach. The only thing you could blame Democrats for would be NAFTA, which had nothing to do with China and was more, "let products be built in Mexico and Canada, our neighbors, and let free trade between us improve the economy for all". The idea of factories in Mexico would improve the economy there, so, fewer immigrants to the USA if business improves in Mexico.

With paying so much more for everything, and many small businesses shutting down from the cost increases that come with tariffs, I'm expecting that you will be the one crying about inflation and how the stock market crash has cost you your retirement accounts.

I'm thinking that it would be better to be a part of Canada at this point, because trying to go it alone invites Trumpdy Dumpty to use the power of the military against a single state that might try to get away from the nonsense. I'm also a progressive, not a liberal, and I like your politicians better than the ones we have here in the USA. I just don't like the cold and snow, which would still be better than living in Trumps America.

Those who pay attention know this, and see it as yet more evidence that Donald Trump is clueless about how business actually works. That's what happens when daddy pays off schools to give high grades to his kid, but the kid is too stupid to know he is stupid.

It is very possible the USA will dissolve, with a number of states just joining with Canada rather than trying to go it alone. There is already a small effort for California to leave the USA, but just looking at independence. If a group of 10 states tried it, California would definitely go as well. Without the "blue" states, the rest of the USA is a fairly low income place that has zero interest in improving things.

Comment Shoot first, then ask questions (Score 1) 224

That is how Trump operates, don't focus, don't pay attention, screw up EVERYTHING, and then look at it later and see if it is even possible to fix the mistakes. We see that with how ICE is operating, we see that with these comments on tariffs, and just in general, Trump is too stupid to THINK before he acts.
