There is a reason Bloc is likely going to be second place, behind Cons winning and Libs in third

they'd need more votes Dialga, it's no-confidence of the current party in power
We literally have a year Dialga
if he stood down
there is a chance they could save official opposition
Bloc winning second place is kind of a meme, but there is a real chance
Quebec mainly votes Lib or Bloc, and all the lib voters are voting bloc
We will know more in July/August, since Canadian election cycles are really only 2-3 months
Trudue is literally throwing free money at people, I am getting 250 in the mail as a rebate now that our postal service is back up
(they got forced back to work, no deal given)
and he is still hemeraging in all polls
People are pissed about housing and food, and rightfully so
I think anything short of immediate rent control, mass deportation of indians, and some way to lower food prices will not save him
I am paying 1780/month for rent, that is a great price considering what rent averages is
Why would he do that, we already know the answer
that will just be seen as a waste of everyones time, and lose him further support
it would be funny
That is correct
Dane, you want to be american
that is already one
lmao
Dane, I am a centrist (the kind that thinks both sides are usually full of shit)
I am also an atheist
so I am both!
Spooky, you should unironically use your glowie connections to propose the polution machine to trump
I think during his twitter shitpost arc, he'd go for it
Pika, if I wrote an official looking proposal and passed it to Drone Girl
I bet I could get it seen
I really thing Trump outlining the polution machine would be funny as shit
I doubt it would get to Trump directly,
but it's a funny enough idea, that I think it would get some mention
from Trump Jr or someone one-rung down from Trump
Elon replies to it saying "thats interesting"
that is what you get

He's right which is the funny part
they wrote a *bipartisan* agreement to fuck us
and Musk + about 20 non-shit senators stopped it
I disagree with a lot of the hate against it, Vivek especially makes it sound worse than it is
they restricted congress' ability to put pork in legislation more than a decade ago, with one exception
the yearly omnibus spending bill
so you read the big spenidng bill this year, and it's all the same crap as usual
studies on iguana mating, special benches for some local school, money for corn farmers to burn their crops
but, (like every year) it's slightly higher than the previous year of waste
so it sets new records for US debt increases
and our yearly deficit is still growing
Leg, that part is easily defensible imo
it just sets them at the max locality pay for gov workers in DC
it should be tiered, but for w/e reason they all need to make the same
committee chairs or tenured roles should pay extra
but in general, they're raising it to low 200s
which is fine in this area
