“We are not going to fall for a provocation of which country is better,” she said, adding that her country was increasingly being used as a political foil.

“Mexico should not be used as part of [Canadian] electoral campaigns,” she said.

Sheinbaum then dug deeper, adding that Canada “could only wish they had the cultural riches Mexico has”, pointing out her country has civilizations dating back thousands of years.

"Fuck off puck sucker" Mexico style.

I have to admit the sentiment regarding the dead CEO was way more extreme than I expected, and I don't mean that in a bad. Just a little of the standard liberal scolding, but largely unanimous that he had it coming. Hope that pressure point keeps getting pushed on.

If he does this lol, this cooks EVERYTHING. The China stuff was already going to be bad, but a 25% tariff on Mexico and Canada cooks so many US companies. Every car, home, appliance becomes 25% more expensive, overnight. If it happens, straight up China W. They don't have to do anything.

Yeah I agree, I don't think Trump has a huge problem with NK. It's like one of his few not terrible things actually.

The Nvidia party is not going to last forever, that fact that some people are still trying to ride the wave is actually wild to me. They got extremely lucky with cypto, covid and AI all dropping around the same time, but it's pretty easy to see where that is headed.

I'm at least feeling pretty good that the United States position globally probably going to be degrading pretty quickly. If Trump really goes in the paint on China, he could make it a lot worse really quick.

Sick. Dope. Viva Mexico. Morena and Amlo haven't been perfect, but they have moved so far in the right direction and Sheinbaum is looking pretty good so far.

This one really scares me, I think Biden might actually pull some shit on Venezuela.
