"Canadian" mining companies - any country on earth can have a licensed business in Canada for the change you find in your couch. Seems to be especially popular for mining companies.

This one actually used to be a full on Canadian mining company (INCO) before it got bought out by a Brazilian company called Vale limited.

There's plenty of tax havens already, so Canada went all in on shell corporations for money laundering (especially real estate) and using Canadas positive global image to hide the true owners of a business.

But doesn't Trump hate China?

Obviously he's extremely succeptable to bribery/flattery etc so he could easily "art of the deal" Taiwan off to China.

Personally I feel like he's definitely having a vindictive king renaissance so I'm expecting a lot of inflexible decisions made entirely on impulse - because that's exactly what the people want.

Don't know if I see him going to war with China as getting bribed is better than fighting and potentially losing. Plus, fighting implies you don't have enough power/influence to win without fighting and Trump is all about projecting power.

If he does want war, I wouldn't be surprised to see an American foreign legion formed out of the 20 million immigrants he wants to deport

Hate to break it to ya, but believing things that are easily, verifiably, false because you prefer the narrative is very "IN" right now.

We left confirmation bias in the rear view mirror and are now actively embracing reality speculation where anything can be true/false if more than one person/bot agrees with it.

Women are easy, natural, targets for Conservatives.

Beyond that? Disability, Left handedness, a grandfather who did yoga once, someone wasn't enthusiastic enough during the 2 minutes hate, they'll never run out of outsiders to invent and demonize!

Isn't the "legal justification" they used not including 'Federal officers' on their list of 'category of persons' allowed to be present during voting?

So they intentionally passed an (illegal) law that forbids the DOJ from overseeing the election process because oopsey daisy we totally didn't mean to write a law that breaks the law!

But if you could honor our intentionally broken law while we're committing the specific crimes you are here to prevent, that'd be super lawful of you.

-NK, probably

A good chunk of Trump's cancer is caused by terrible left wing policy.

I hate Trump and everything about the far right, but I can understand people falling in love with the idea of a strongman who will cut through bullshit and do what people want.

The left is supposed to mitigate income inequality, and make life good for their citizens.

Both left/right idealogies are entirely owned by corporate interests across the globe - this is the crux of the entire issue.

The problems facing the middle class are entirely artificial and intentional. There are a myriad of reasons, but the end result is that we have one societies/laws/reality for the wealthy, and a completely different set of rules for the population.

The left promises to solve everything with equality and the right promises to resolve everything with hierarchy.

Neither idealogy has any intention of doing anything but funnel as much money/power to big business until their political careers are done.

The obvious difference is the "Right" idealogies are objectively bad for everyone but the ultra wealthy. Unfortunately being ultra wealthy gives you the ability to own national anti-reality propaganda networks.

Still a tough line to toe.

South Korea can undoubtedly roll North Korea. But North Korea + China + Ruzzia is much harder to contend with.

NK is benefitting from actively trading with first world economies in a meaningful way and will likely be heavily updating their military and spycraft capabilities.

This will blow back way harder on Israel than America.

Ignoring all politics, logistically this war is a rounding error in the Pentagon's budget. America can and often does absolutely anything it wants to anyone at any point in time - and the only thing stopping it is how it feels about a subject at any given moment.

Israel is tiny and surrounded by enemies who they are pissing off.

For the record I am entirely opposed to Israel committing genocide and America funding it.

This is more of a comment on the efficacy of having several media apparatus boast unified lies without consequences.

The absolute lack of consequences for blatantly lieing, omitting truth, falsifying information, and ignoring reality is why we are in this mess.

This can definitely be applied to both left and right, but the Left master plan seems to be "tolerance for all" and the Right master plan seems to be some hybrid business/monarchy system that obviously is trying to enslave 99% of the population.

This toss up is only possible with half the population living in an alternate reality without realizing it.

The scariest thing about Conservatives is they are getting pressed against reality and the false narrative they cling to as the only possible explanation of reality.

Their lie is so ridiculous and so obviously 'coming from inside the house' that they will now protect it with everything they are.

The only hope is that they accept a conclusion of 'I was right about everything, just the small detail of who was actually responsible needed a single puzzle piece to confirm'.
