He's said a lot of batshit crazy stuff, but this is just getting beyond belief. What we're doing to Canada right now is simply insane and makes no sense whatsoever - literally no sense. Canada is never going to agree to become a state, no matter how much pressure Trump 2.0 places on them, and we're rapidly turning a nation with which we have had perfectly good relations - and with whom we share one of the world's longest borders - into an enemy for no good reason at all, unless you consider Trump's ego and bullying and literal insanity to be a "reason." Of course we now have about fifty horrible things all happening at once, but his treatment of Canada alone would get any other POTUS impeached and removed from office. But there are always exceptions for Trump, somehow.

ETA: I should add that there is one logical reason for a president to do this - if they're a Russian asset or doing Russia's bidding (maybe, say, a Putin stooge?) to wreck our alliances and good relationships with even our closest allies. Of course even to suggest that drives his supporters to have the vapors and scream bloody murder, so we can't have that.

He's an asset. I don't think it's particularly necessary to delineate if he has a handler (I suspect he long has). He's undoing decades of relative international stability and American economic hegemony to acquire more money for himself, and in an attempt to fill the infinite hole in his ego. Putin is simply the worm-tongue.
 

The Vancouver International Auto Show has removed U.S. electric carmaker Tesla from its event this week, saying its primary concern was the safety of attendees and exhibitors.

Tesla has faced numerous protests in Canada recently due to owner Elon Musk's proximity to U.S. President Donald Trump, at a time when Trump has imposed 25 per cent tariffs on Canadian imports and publicly made threats of annexation towards the country.

The car manufacturer has seen protests at its dealerships, and its products have been excluded from B.C.'s electric vehicle rebate programs amid the trade war with the U.S.


The latest development comes with the annual Vancouver International Auto Show deciding to exclude Tesla after the carmaker was given multiple opportunities to withdraw voluntarily, according to a statement from the show's executive director.

It's hilarious that anyone hates Canada like that

Of all the stupid, self-destructive, and crazy things that have already happened under Trump 2.0, what we're doing to Canada may be the most insane. It literally makes no sense whatsoever. Canada threatens no one, we have one of the world's longest peaceful borders with them, they're a major friendly trading partner, and yet Trump is treating them like a pariah state and seems determined to make them a mortal enemy. It's simply crazy, yet here we are. And of course Trumpers will defend this as being perfectly normal and reasonable behavior from the President of the United States.

One thing I've noticed, mostly from trying to avoid duplicate posts on a topic or trying to reply to a topic you've started to stay organized, is that words within embedded Tweets aren't searchable on ZZL. So, a search for "Starlink" wouldn't find your post with the Tweet above.

I realize there's probably isn't a fix, much less an easy one; just an FYI.

Good to know - the search function is pretty good but not perfect. I am trying to not dominate thread opening to give the board room to breathe in terms of topics — in hopes everyone else will start new threads from current events stuff I post, but the embed had been the best way I had figured out to organize related developments within a thread with so many diverse news stories.

I don’t really have time to devise and add key words to every post, but will think about possible solutions.

You can view the html source for the page and wouldn't see starlink either, because the content of the tweet is being fetched dynamically. If the tweet were edited to contain different content, and you refreshed the page, you'd see the updated content from the tweet. So there is nothing for zzlpolitics.com to ingest and index (to make searchable).
 

Tesla (TSLA) accounting raises red flags as report shows $1.4 billion missing​


“Tesla’s (TSLA) accounting practices are raising red flags as a new report from the Financial Times shows that $1.4 billion is missing.

Many Tesla shorts and detractors have questioned Tesla’s accounting for years, but they have never gained much traction – until now.

Today, the Financial Times has released a new report

Compare Tesla’s capital expenditure in the last six months of 2024 to its valuation of the assets that money was spent on, and $1.4bn appears to have gone astray.

The article points out that Tesla reports having spent $6.3 billion on “purchases of property and equipment excluding finance leases, net of sales” in the second half of 2024, while property, plant, and equipment rose by only $4.9 billion in that period. …”
