Approximately 43 pounds of fentanyl can potentially kill around 9.7 million people, as a lethal dose is typically about 2 milligrams. This estimation is based on the fact that there are about 453,592 milligrams in a pound.

We don’t want any of it just because less came from Canada (43 pounds) doesn’t make it less deadly.

 

[karmaco]

You literally pretended that you supported the biggest grifter in the world after he won the election

Keep lying it’s all you know how to do because the facts don’t support your delusions.

No one said it wasn’t deadly, talking about proportion

So one said it wasn’t deadly, talking about proportion

Yes proportionally it’s small but that drug is a death sentence waiting to happen no matter the amount.

America’s appetite for drugs is a death sentence for many, and other issues. That doesn’t seem to get discussed much

We are done giving welfare to the grifters of the world.

You elected Trump, but he doesn't just receive a measly welfare check, he grifted $160M from foreign countries around the world as president ...we're done subsidizing his lavish lifestyle.

Trump made up to $160 million from foreign countries as president​

It is enough to kill 9.3 million Americans —no biggie right— because Leftist guys only care about other countries not Americans.

They don't care too much about Ukrainians, Israelis, Russians, or much of anyone unless they can use their deaths to further their political agenda.

Not only has he grifted foreign nations, he also has some very questionable deductions on his charitable donations in the USA, tax returns that he adamantly fought not to disclose.

For instance, he received $21M tax deduction for saving a forest... around his own property!

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/trum...me-he-left-office-returns-show-205022151.html

Why not cut down the trees and drill, baby drill, or build houses for the poor? Afterall, it's a charitable donation.

Wow. That's almost as much as the Bidens grifted. But with Trump, at least they get a golf course to show for it.

I thought you were pro saving the forests. What's your problem here? Was he supposed to get the deduction using somebody else's property?

If you don't like the rules, maybe they should be changed. No more subsidies for people who preserve forests! Happy?

Last term...

The Trump Administration Rolled Back More Than 100 Environmental Rules.​

This term...

Trump vows to ‘unleash’ oil and gas drilling as he rolls back climate rules​

Engagement farming, or they don’t know how to Google. Good chunk of that is inheritance

“Justin Trudeau has received over $40 million in family assets from his father, who has also served as PM of Canada.”

$40 million, that’s a lot of money you can invest

I call BS. He may have had some insider trading intel, which is highly likely given his position over the past decade, but that number is likely over-inflated.

You tell me... how can he deduct $21,000,000 for 150 acres of trees? The timber stand isn't worth $21M.

If he cut down all the trees and replanted on his own property, he'd be eligible to deduct up to $1,000,000 for qualifying property. He inflated it by $20M and that's not even reforestation.

Canada has over 1Billion acres of forested land. If 150 acres is worth $21M, how much is the forest in Canada worth? Do the math...

Answer: $140,000,000,000,000 (140 trillion dollars)

And Trump wants Canadians to give up our sovereignty for tariffs?

That's equivalent to the entire net worth of USA, and that just in trees (using Trump math, lol).

If you look at the details (an exclusive neighborhood) and the actual numbers, there is nothing unusual about it. Also interesting is that the person claiming there is is political henchwoman New York Attorney General Letitia James - which in itself signals yet another kangaroo court case.

So far as the rest, you are worried about a potential conflict of interest over real business ventures, but have never said anything about the conflict of interest of Biden selling America to the highest bidder. That's more than a conflict of interest - it's treachery and treason.

You really go out on a limb in Trump's defense don't you?

It's understandable that 'property values' in an exclusive neighbourhood would be appraised at a premium, but this was a charitable tax deduction to himself. The charitable donation deduction is an incentive for reforestation, not for land value or resale appraisal. If this were true, are you're saying that anyone who has trees on their property can claim a charitable tax deduction, and if your property happens to be in an exclusive neighbourhood, then you're entitled to a larger deduction?

Tax deduction for tree removal (if deemed a necessary business expense), or within a forest management plan, such as reforesting are normal practices (typically taxed at 25% municipal property rate), however; they are not considered charitable donations. James was right to call Donald out on tax evasion in this case.

Secondly, are you saying that because they are Trump trees, they are somehow more valuable than those in National Parks that Donald is not only planning to defund, but also exploit for corporate profit?

Federal lands are for the benefit of all people and wildlife, and there are laws in place to protect them, but Trump intends to remove those protections to drill, baby drill. This will cause irreversible damage in fragile ecosystems and the habitats of endangered species. If Donald intends to use public lands for expanding his policies for resource extraction, he ought to first consider the consequences of such actions and follow the science of conservation. That would be the normal thing to do, though Trump is anything but normal.

Just bought my first AI stock. Check it out. If I lose money here, I want you to lose money too. Misery loves company. But if I make a fortune, I will ridicule you all who had a chance to make a fortune too and just blew it.

https://www.nasdaq.com/market-activity/stocks/bbai

Bought and sold bbai 5 times now. You should have listened.
But, I can't compete with Nancy Pelosi.
Nancy bought options on a tiny Chinese company called Tempus.
The next day the stock shot up and within a week was up 88%
But, since Nancy bought options, her gain could be 1000%
Nancy is way smarter than Joe Biden when it comes to getting money from China.
You can see the stocks that corrupt politicians buy at Quiver Quantitative.

Trump just opened up a major can of worms on CNN.
He was casually pushing for all Palestinians to just move away from Gaza because it's all bombed out and should all just find some new real estate.

And Netanyahu was sitting there just Grinning from ear to ear.

 

[Cannuck]

Nobody cares about Canada. You are a non factor.

That's because you take Canada for granted... if the bulk of Canada's forests burned (as is possible with Global Warming), Americans would all be wearing oxygen masks. If Canada's forests were not exporting fresh, clean air Americans would be on life support.
