Trump also called into a news station after the towers fell and bragged about how his building was now the tallest in Manhattan...meanwhile his buddy Rudy covered up the toxic dust leading to thousands of deaths...real winners there...

Americans don't want to be replaced by Muslim society.
If Canadians love it so much, maybe you should be the ones taking them in?
 
Canada provided massive immediate and long-term help to the United States after the September 11 terrorist attacks.

Operation Yellow Ribbon

Diverted Flights: Canada safely accepted 224 diverted aircraft carrying nearly 33,000 stranded passengers when U.S. airspace closed.

Community Hospitality: Towns like Gander, Newfoundland, opened homes, schools, and community halls to shelter, feed, and comfort stranded global travelers for days.

Military and Security Support

NATO Alliance: For the first time in history, NATO invoked Article 5 (collective defense), and Canada stood firmly with its ally.

Afghanistan Mission: Over 40,000 Canadian Armed Forces members served in Afghanistan over a 20-year period, with 158 soldiers making the ultimate sacrifice.

About time you returned the fucking favor. Been protecting your asses for generations. For free.
 
So, the US beat Canada's entry into WWI and WWII by how many years?

Ever heard of Norad? You know, where Canada defends the US against missile attacks coming over the north pole.

Ignorant fucking post, as usual.

Who carried the most burden of WWI and WWII, and the Cold War that followed (financial and lives lost), Canaduh or the US?

Who commands NORAD and who pays for most of it? Where is the HQ of NORAD located??? Do you need a multiple choice test to have even a small chance to answer any of these? 🤡 :dunno:🤡:dunno:🤡

From what? Lol.

Mexico could have invaded and conquered Canaduh. :ROFLMAO: Far more likely for the Soviet Union would have, however, had there been no US protection.

Any more questions?

I miss the ole Texas guy that used to make things and Lisa sent him a guitar..
 
Lucky Larry and Lucky Lutnick. What a Cohencidence, right? :dunno:

I hope that podcaster has good life insurance and is financially independent. Calling out certain elite people can be dangerous.
Funny how Donny and Howard are best buds though huh? Must have some *special* friends in common...
 
DoorDash spent $1.4 million to beat Mamdani. He just made them pay their drivers nearly 100 times that.

Its CEO tells business owners to run "the greedy algorithm." The company's own statement Tuesday: "Simply put, we screwed up."

On Tuesday, Zohran Mamdani announced the largest worker settlement in New York City history. DoorDash will pay $131.5 million, and $115 million of it goes straight to the 264,000 delivery workers it shorted over four years.

Those are the riders on e-bikes, most of them immigrants, who carry the city's dinner through the rain. Nobody has to file a claim. The city already knows who's owed what. The emails go out in late October, and every dollar the company held back comes back doubled, up to $5,000 a rider. For the next three years DoorDash has to hand the city its pay records every month.

The case started with dozens of riders telling the city they'd been paid late or not at all. Investigators went through 152 million payments and found the company had left hours off the clock: canceled trips, runs that crossed the city line, all time the city's minimum pay law says a rider gets paid for. The city found DoorDash "deliberately" paid below the minimum. Mamdani called it "not an accidental rounding error or a mistake."

DoorDash, in its statement:

"Simply put, we screwed up. Our mistakes meant some Dashers were underpaid or paid late. While these mistakes weren't intentional, that doesn't make them okay."

Mamdani, at the podium:
"Two months ago, Tony Xu, the CEO of DoorDash, gave business owners a piece of advice. A CEO, he said, has to take the greedy algorithm and keep going all the way to see if there is more. In computer science, a greedy algorithm is one that makes the most optimized, best short-term outcome choice at every step and never weighs the consequences. New York City and the tens of thousands of delivery workers who call our city home have reckoned with greed as a business model for far too long."

In May 2025, with Mamdani surging in the primary, DoorDash wrote a $1 million check to Fix the City, the super PAC that spent $31 million to stop him. It was the biggest donation in the race at the time. The ads called him "a risk New York can't afford."

One mailer digitally lengthened and darkened his beard. The fine print at the end of the TV spots read: "The top three donors to the organization responsible for this advertisement are Michael Bloomberg, DoorDash, John Hess." All in, The Intercept counts about $1.4 million from DoorDash against him.

He had promised on the trail to go after the delivery apps. Two weeks after he was sworn in, his administration put them on notice. Ligia Guallpa, whose group helped riders file the first complaints: "DoorDash decided to invest money in trying to buy our city's democracy."

Mamdani: "When a worker earns a wage, they deserve to be paid that wage — not tomorrow, not after a lawsuit, but on time and in full."

DoorDash's ads called Mamdani "a risk New York can't afford."
New York could afford him. DoorDash couldn't.

A company worth roughly 82 billion is supposed to pay $115 million to 264,000 people. This amounts to about $435 total per person. Or $108 per year for the 4 years owed. This is supposed to be a huge win?
