Kantor is 6 foot 10 and 250 pounds.
I'm sure he really wanted to see that game and while sitting in his seat felt threatened by her after throwing insults to her all game that he had to get up to do what again?

By defending his actions here, you made my point.
What has his height and weight got to do with being at a game? Is there a height limit and weight limit for going to a game? If his height makes you jealous thats on you. One thing is sure, He wont need to climb a table to see wizkid

Kantor never insulted her, she came and insulted Kantor, She came towards him throwing insults and he stood up

You always want to see yourself as a victim

Bayelsaowei. What Canada wanted from a trade deal.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9WP1K5v-tQ?si=Ng8J4G6-ZYF8WuAi

Canada PM wanted to walk away because he knew his demands were unpalatable.
Simply .

1) Removal of tariffs on Canadian assembled Semi-Trucks.
(2) U.S. streaming services writing code for “search engines” in the French language.
(3) Canada demanding 5% of gross revenues from U.S. tech platforms, and the last one is silly because it already exists:
(4) the U.S. having a right to reject a trade deal made by Canada with a non-market economy, ie. CHINA.


A summary of why USTR will necer allow that
♦U.S. tariffs on Canadian Semi Trucks.
Canada wanted tariffs on Big Rigs removed. The U.S. said no.
The reason is simple. Big Rigs assembled/built in Canada are falling apart in the USA. Why? Because they are full of cheap Chinese component goods and parts that wear out quickly. The U.S. wants two things on this issue. Either:
(1) Make them in the USA, or
(2)stop using cheap Chinese component parts.
The parts that Canada are using are not even available in the USA because we tariff and reject them, so why should we accept them when Canada installs them? Either quit using Chinese parts (hence, the trade alignment against Chinese imports), or accept a tariff equal to the rate we would apply if the product was coming directly from China.

♦The French Language thing.
The French language stuff was an ancillary aspect where the Canadian Cultural Police were demanding that all U.S. streaming platforms (YouTube, Netflix etc.) must have search engines using the French language so Canadian users can search for stuff to watch using the French language. A ridiculous issue that was not part of the trade discussion, but Mark Carney saw political value in blowing up the issue.

This is really stupid, because when you buy your hardware (TV, Phone, Computer etc.) it asks you what language or country during set up. If you live in France, you put France. The operating system does the rest. We don’t code search engines for French in FRANCE because the OS does it! But Canada was requiring U.S. tech companies (streaming services) to install search features in French [I guess so they can set up the OS in English but get some ancillary feature.] It was a stupid “side paper” in the Intellectual Property sector of the trade discussion.

♦Intellectual Property.
Canada was demanding 5% of U.S. tech platform gross revenue (not profit, gross), they call it a tax. Canada then uses the “tax revenue” to subsidize Canadian media and information platforms that promote the approved government message. In essence, Canada demands that information providers pay them 5% of their revenue so that Canada can subsidize information providers they approve of. This is what the Canadian government calls “cultural protection.” In reality it is state-run media using a financial system that would make Vladimir Putin blush.



♦U.S. Right to Limit Canadian Trade Deals.
This point is exponentially ridiculous for Canada to be upset about because the current USMCA/CUSMA already has that clause. The U.S (or Mexico) can exit theCanada was already in violation of the USMCA/CUSMA when they entered into a trade agreement with China and agreed to import Chinese EVs. This action triggered the U.S. to become more focused on the stuff Canada was going to import; hence, the renewed emphasis on the clause. USMCA if Canada enters into a trade agreement with a “non-market” economy, ie China. [USMCA Sec 32:10]

What leverage does a country exporting 72-75% of all it's produce to a single nation have in trade talks. Zero.

Exactly There are good democrats who .
The democrat party fed the beast eating them up. The DSA.
Long before Obama mainstreamed Jewish hate Democrats and Republicans coexisted ,there was no problem if a Republican or democrat won the presidency.
After Obama conservatives became the evil fascist far right, antisemitism crouched slowly starting with why America funds Israel .

There's still hope for democrats if they do away with the socialists maligning the party of JFK.
Sadly, for bayelsaowei, as long as they mention one free thing, they can destroy the country.

Kantor never threatened anyone. You lie so much everything you say here is a lie and tells so much about you insecurity. You need to fix that

5 years ago late July Biden ordered Baghran Air Base to be evacuated in the night . One of those who escaped from prison was .Abdul Reham al Logari.

August 26, he detonated at the Kabul Airport killing 13 Americans and several hundred Afghan who wanted to escape after the fall of Kabul .
The top military brass knew there would be impending attack. The snipers had him in their sights.

Testimony from Marine sniper Sgt. Tyler Vargas-Andrews


Over the communication network we passed that there was a potential threat and an ID attack imminent. This was as serious as it could get. I requested engagement authority while my team leader was ready on the M110 semiautomatic sniper system. The response: Leadership did not have the engagement authority for us. Do not engage. I requested for the battalion commander, lieutenant Colonel Brad Whited, to come to the tower to see what we did. Wile we waited for him psychological operations individuals came to our tower immediately and confirmed the suspect met the suicide bomber description.

He eventually arrived, and we showed him our evidence, the photos we had of the two men. We reassured him of the ease of fire on the suicide bomber. Pointedly, we asked him for engagement authority and permission. We asked him if we could shoot. Our battalion commander said, and I quote, “I don’t know,” end quote. Myself and my team leader asked very harshly, “Well, who does? Because this is your responsibility, sir.”

He again replied he did not know, but would find out. We received no update and never got our answer. Eventually, the individual disappeared. To this day, we believe he was a suicide bomber. We made everyone on the ground aware operations had briefly halted, but then started again. Plain and simple, we were ignored. Our expertise was disregarded. No one was held accountable for our safety.



I know democrat supporters here have never heard this story.

Obama Judge Indira Talwani lifts injunction on USPS delivering mail in ballots to eligible voters .She was literally forced by SCOTUS ruling 6-3 last week .



Bayelsaowei Deepsight. Let's see how many voters will turn out in the midterms for democrats .

If there are elected representatives who are nothing but scum ,it's a small group of establishment Republican Senators .They kiss Trump's ass to get elected ,then slow walk everything they can.
They would have passed the SAVE Act last year . They would have passed nominations of US Attorneys, loopholes which democrat judges used to throw out Comey and Letitia James cases..
Senator Thune blocked the Senate from going on recess for 10 continuous days to prevent Trump from making recess appointments.
They are worse than democrats. Everyone knows democrats are evil and will always do evil without hiding it
Re: American Politics Thread: Democrats Take Control Of Congress by basilico: 6:46pm On Aug 26
I'll bloviate over this USPS having its own list to crosscheck whom democrat want to send mail in ballots to.
An X user wrote.

The new mail-in ballot procedure isn’t something to be afraid of. It works like this:

1. The state provides a list of the ballots they intend to mail out.

2. USPS assigns a unique barcode to each.

3. When the ballot is mailed out, this barcode is scanned to ensure uniqueness and that it matches. If there is no match or it’s a duplicate, it is not delivered.

4. When the voter mails the ballot back, the USPS scans it again and checks to make sure it matches what went out and isn’t a duplicate. Any ballots that don’t match won’t be delivered.

5. This is all done on the exterior envelope. The USPS isn’t determining eligibility or deciding who gets a ballot. They can’t see the actual votes. They are essentially just ensuring there are no duplicates, that the number mailed in isn’t greater than the number mailed out, and that the person mailing one in was the same person who received them.

This is a common sense solution and is completely reasonable.

Why would anyone oppose it unless their intention is to cheat?

Sounds like the loser Obrigardo who has been having a meltdown and a mental breakdown

Obrigardo:
I really don't know why you think trump has a future. His family will run out of the country, mark my words!
Obrigardo:
It's really clear where trump's plan is hatching. The news reports it to us and then we see it unfold. Mark my words, trump is starting trump tv by february 2021 on youtube grin, and by then he will be facing 4 lawsuits hearing in one month. But many Americans including some of his cult members will pull away from his cult madness, trust the MSM, they will render him useless.
Obrigardo:
Jeez, that's got to hurt grin
This is just another Criminal trump grift and mark my words, before the end of this year a "Truth"Social lawsuit from a disgruntled shareholder will be filed against trump. All of his failed businesses and bankruptcies have amassed lawsuits one after the other,
If i can bet on this, I'll gladly stake my house and all my savings.
Obrigardo:
Congress will invoke Section 3 of the 14th Amendment and ban Criminal trump from ever running for office again, for life.
The Supreme court will agree to the disqualification clause.
Mark my words..

Usually I'm specific about the manufacturer of stuff I want to buy. With cheap Chinese imports so has the longevity of products gone down.
Western made pricey goods that are hard to find in local shops like Union or Yale padlocks are absolutely solid.
Lorenzetti for hot showers, Black and Decker for tools like drills , blowers . Russell Hobbs blenders . Bosch hand tools .
Philips Iron boxes. Denon Surround system.

The Chinese bring new unused product prices down through poor quality copy cat designs.
A majority of Black and Decker tools are manufactured in China.

Russell Hobbs blenders are primarily manufactured in China.

Philips Iron Boxes are manufactured primarily in China.

80% of all iPhones - Pro and Pro Max models are manufactured in China.

In fact, we discovered only lately that most high quality high-fashion accessories from Hermes, Fendi, et al have all actually been made in China this whole time with only name tagging occurring in respective brand countries.

You see? The quality you crave is mostly obtainable in China. China is a manufacturing hub for all quality profiles. You will find what you are looking for.

You just operate in a cult where you are told to believe pre-defined narratives.

IjeBos, Armybabe, Roland17, PDPguy, etc pls be careful eating ground beef this season. Especially after Trump and his administration rounded up protected wild horses and are illegally slaughtering them.

Then he’s turning around to announce the sale of cheap ground beef. Not that steaks or any recognizable cuts of meat will be cheaper. Something smells fishy.
I really hope this is not true. Horses have played an extraordinary role in American history, from the time of the Spanish explorers, from whom the wild mustangs descend. Since then, very important equestrian cultures have grown around the country, from Los Angeles to New York, and all the way to Wellington, Florida. Wild horses should be left alone, or, if absolutely necessary, should be given proper care.

He endorsed a new comer Darlene Graham who'd made a gaffe about foreign policy.She pulled in 197000 votes to win by 10K margin .
If you put two and two together she won because Trump dragged her across the finish line .

It's ironical to hear from you how Trunp has lost popularity

The democrats are making the midterms a referendum on Trump. Helped by skewed polling like the Ohio of 2024. Trump has the antidote.His super PAC has $400 million to spend in the next 68 days. Elon Musk will match every dollar democrat donors throw into the ring. The democrats dark money slush funds have largely died up with Actblue under scrutiny. The ads will be about who gained from no tax on tips, how border crossings have falken by 98% with no bipartisan law, how manufacturing is teshoring, how the tax cuts off are now permanent. Tangible things ijebos and cococandy will not admit has increased their take home.

Re: American Politics Thread: Democrats Take Control Of Congress by basilico:
You barely understood what I was driving at.
Those brands are manufactured in China with a CE , IEC or UL rating for Western markets. Better quality than what Africa gets of the same. Many products have similar sounding names ,cheap fake knockoffs.

Before China you were assured the appliances manufactured in the West were top notch
I just picked a few western companies whose products are considered the gold standard in quality.

Were you trying to advise someone who regularly buys specific imported brands of commercial products by any chance?
