Actually i consider Trump an existential threat only because he stated in his campaign rallies that his supporters won't have to vote again after this election. I might strongly disagree with various political leaders and their policies, but if they respect the laws and aren't suggesting they will end democracy then they are simply expressing their views and whether those views are right or wrong , in my opinion, is irrelevant except in my personal decision of who to vote for. If they win then they might lose the next election unless most people think they did a good job. That;'s how a democracy works. But I will strongly oppose anyone who chooses to be a dictator, ends elections or willfully chooses to break the law, Trump has stated intentions to do the first 2 and he certainly appears to have done the third based on what happened in 2020 after he lost the last election though now those allegations will never make it into court now that he has won re-election. I hope you are correct and there is an election in 2028, I'm just not confident that will be the case now that Trump has won in 2024.

Well i don't think trump or anyone else ever said which party was stuffing the ballot boxes

you're assuming that they will still be holding elections and permitted to have opposition parties in 2028. Based on Trump's speeches and his rhetoric to the voters that may not be the case. After all he was telling his voters that after this election they won't have to vote again and was talking about going after and locking up all of his opponents. Given his past history of following through this might not happen but the sycophants he's surrounded himself with this time around might be competent enough to get it done.

Trump will win whether he gets the most votes or not. He's convinced too many people that the election is fixed and the last one was stolen from him.

No Canada is doomed when Trump seizes power. I'd draw a parallel between the annexation of Austria by Hitler and Canada's future. Our leadership dithers far too much and our procurement efforts for our military are so ineffective these days that we ordered new jets in 2023 and won't get any until sometime in 2026 and won't have an operational squadron of them until 2029. The decision to buy these planes was originally made in 2010 but no one wanted to spend the money, even though we had been funding the development of this same plane since 1997. Our current fighter jets are from the early 1980's with many of those in use having been bought second hand from our allies. To the best of my knowledge our airforce is the least outdated segment of our military. We just bought winter camping gear for our soldiers that isn't suitable for use in Canadian winters as it won;t keep people warm enough.

I'm Canadian. My opinion is that who "wins: the election isn't actually going to matter in the end and the true losers will be the American people and their biggest loss will be of their democracy. If we assume Harris wins the election... Trump will declare that the election was stolen, his staunchest allies will rise up and the country will be in a state of mass insurrection. His supporters will intimidate the election officials, some of whom are Trump sympathizers already, into declaring false results in favour of Trump, Some of his judges and the corrupt Supreme Court will rule in his favour. Trump takes the Presidency despite losing the election and turns the military and justice system against his enemies, ending democracy as the Americans know it. If we assume Trump wins the election the right wing courts will rule, rightly or wrongly that Trump won fairly. He will shut down the investigations into his past illegal activities and start prosecuting his opponents and ends democracy as the American's know it. Given Trumps age and his desire for la legacy I suspect he will declare himself Emperor and make it a hereditary title so that his children will rule after he dies. I don't think he will declare himself dictator for life because of his desire for complete control and what better way to assert control than to set up his preferred successor as Emperor when he dies. I think he will chose Emperor because it sounds more impressive than King. He will join the ranks of those he admires, Putin, Kim, Xi, and i would not be surprised if he decides to annex Mexico for cheap labour and Canada over water rights as the ongoing droughts in the American Southwest are going to make the Great Lakes an extremely important source of fresh water that can be diverted to his nation. He will give Europe to Russia due to his admiration of Putin, Taiwan to China and South Korea to North Korea. Withdraw and close American military bases around the world and let his friends divide thigs as they like amongst themselves. Yes I'm very pessimistic about the future.

Not worth it. She will be the Empress of the U.S A., then mother to the next Emperor as well. Trump wins and the democratic republic will be dead and the American Empire will arise. Mexico and Canada will be the first nations to fall to their military.

I was going to vote Harris, but then i got high, Picked the orange cheeto guy cuz i was high. Now our nation's gone to hell and i know why.... Cuz I got high, Because i got high Because i got high.

If the deaths don't pick up may i propose a topic for next year dedicated to the large number of people dropped from this years list due to only 25 being allowed to remain on the list. The list of the dropped should be called "Missed it by That Much"

All i can picture is the Monty Python "Bring out your dead sketch" from the Holy Grail, with one of Trump's sycophants saying "he's not dead. He's getting better" while you can see that Trump is as dead as the Norwegian Parrot pining for his fjords. And a large number of his followers will be positive that he;s still alive

The scariest part of all of this to a Non-American who has no vote in the election but knows it will have a major impact on the future of his nation is that the polls are saying the 59 year old democratic former prosecutor and the 79 year old convicted felon, with a history of bankruptcy who is promising no more elections are running neck and neck. If Trump actually wins this election I would recommend that that the U.S. be quarantined as the site of some strange form of mental illness before it infects the rest of the world, if it isn't too late already.

>Clearly Jimmy believes there can only be 1 single term Democrat president. He won't die unless Biden withdraws from the race or loses to Trump.

The only medical conditions I have are type 2 diabetes, controlled by pills, high blood pressure, and essential tremors. All my brain scans are normal. However I have always had strange sleep patterns, as a teen I could go multiple days without sleeping then when i was in my early 20's I started falling asleep at odd times, such as in the middle of writing a university exam, But that was a rare occurrence. My current sleep pattern kicked off about 5 years ago, but my doctor hasn't got an explanation. I just make it work by grabbing naps when I feel tired and don't have to be doing my job. To me the amount i sleep seems normal.

He just needs to do what I do to stay alert at any time of the day or night. Get up at 5 am, do his morning briefing have breakfast, then a 2 hour nap. Do some more work for a couple hours, eat lunch then time for the next 2 hour nap. Up again around 3pm, this is when i tend to be most alert so i do all me really important stuff now. Have an early dinner around 6 pm, a half hour nap. Catch up on everything that has happened for the day then back to bed for 10 pm. Repeat every day. I'm not quite that punctual as I just nap whenever I start feeling tired, but 2 or 3 naps a day is normal for me and I'm almost 30 years younger than Biden. But I can come out of my nap to a phone call and be completely alert in seconds.

Well if Biden is the best the Democrats have got and the alternative is Trump. I just want to say that it was nice living in the free world while it lasted. My condolences to the Americans. Canada will hold out against the the dictator as long as possible, despite our governments resistance to funding our military. May God have mercy on the souls of those who refuse to replace Biden in the race and on those who actually believe that Trump is the right person to lead the U.S.

Erik Canuel Quebec Canada director of Bon Cop Bad Cop has died. Never having come across someone I could report as deceased who wasn't already listed I am hoping I am doing this correctly. My apologies if I have made any error.

Actually if the death logjam doesn't break before the end of the year I think we will see a new record for people dying who got left off the list. As it stands right now 22 members of the current list can not be selected for next year, and every time one of them dies next year there will be people questioning how the selections were made. If there are under 10 deaths in a year I think more of the failed list should be allowed to be kept for the next year, but i know that won't fly as it isn't the tradition.

Hmm. Joe Biden can't be very good at running a corrupt department of justice if they found his own son guilty. If the DOJ was corrupt shouldn't Hunter have been acquitted? ?

Obviously he's using the male measuring tape for his height. You know the same one guys use to prove they are all 8 inches long where it counts.

I guess I'm too old to watch the Oscar's In Memoriam. Most of the tributes were so small, taking up only a small portion of the tv screen that neither the names or photos could be clearly seen. The camera people appear to have forgotten how to do closeups on the screens they were showing the scenes and photographs on. And could anyone make out what the list of words? names? on the screen at the end of the tribute was?

In my personal life between 1989-1993 I lost both parents ages 52, 57, an uncle 54, and had 3 friends lose at least 1parent all in their 50;s all due to heart attacks, and strokes. 3 of my 4 grandparents died in the 1960's all in their 50's as well due to cancer, heart attack and aneurism. A certain percentage of people have always died younger than the expected life expectancy and in both of those eras it certainly was not due to new untested vaccines or covid. I am putting a link to an article about how life expectancy is determined because it is apparent that you don't understand how it works. Life expectancy - Wikipedia

I just keep reading this forum and the one about Trump in the hopes that one or the other or, better yet, both have died. When did Americans stop assassinating their leaders?

Now, now. Don't go confusing Republicans by listing facts. They only seem to believe the lies they hear coming from the former reality tv star whose main claim to fame was telling contestants "You're fired". They want entertainment, not actual accomplishments. The masses want bread and circuses.
