No, there the biggest factor by far in his victory was something much less exciting, but also extremely predictable: low voter turnout. Most of these secondary elections and primaries in NY are done, surely by coincidence, during working hours on weekdays, and, unlike actual election day (where many get the day off), many times nobody knows these fucking votes are happening at all until well after they happen.

That certainly makes it easier for a less established candidate to win, but the biggest factor is that the pool was extremely weak. Cuomo was the only person there with a recognizable name and a history behind him, which was his biggest problem because plenty of New Yorkers remember what he did during COVID. Mamdani is only interesting in that he's the irrelevant local politician that managed to get enough momentum to win the primary. If you look at the other candidates and their platforms, they're not all that different from Mandani's. If the party put someone other than Cuomo forward, there's a good chance that they would have had their party candidate win, but they've learned nothing from national politics and keep trying to push awful candidates instead of cycling them out for someone new that's still party of the machine.

It's interesting that all of the Rations for sale are in Hawaii for whatever reason.

This might be a surprise to some, but Hawaii is an island (really an archipelago), and islands are really susceptible to being cut off. So they stockpile stuff just in case.

US HDR's have a shelf life of about 3 years, and they likely rotate stock. These were manufactured in 2022. Its possible they just pulled them off a ship in port in HI instead of handing them out as well.

I dont think there's anything nefarious in the sell off.

Edit: also before rushing off to buy any they are all shitty pant based so that they can feed the most amount of browns. If you're thinking you're going to get some delicious cheap MRE's (chili mac GOAT), think again
 
All I know is the Senate has to vote on the BBB and some psycho ambushed firefighters in Coeur D'Alene. Any other news? More info on this stuff? I just woke up.
 
So, I saw that pell grants are going to change due to the BBB? that might be a problem for me, idk

Kind of a necessity unfortunately. When I was in undergrad my entry level classes were probably 30% black and within a week suddenly there were no niggers at all.

Pretty obvious what was going on. They were enrolling long enough for their Pell grants to clear and then dropping out, tons of fraud.

They don't. They're 50 miles away in a gated community of 98% white people. Their pet browns are used to living in shitholes so they bring the shithole with them, however. But the food is SOOOO yummy!
Click to expand...
Either gated communities outside of city limits. Or, if they do live within the city, it's usually in areas that are above the price bracket of most non-whites or East Asians. They'll bring in browns as funny things to look at because "muh culture" and eat foreign slop #25 because yummy food. For as much as they talk about loving them, some deep down hate them as much as some people online, but their ideology refuses to let them believe in it fully

I'm wondering that too. What were they voting on last night then if the BBB didn't pass yet, or did it?
 
Boy, can’t wait to see the triumphant headlines on Breitbart about BBB passing.

And ignoring the whole “everything based was taken out” part.

Boomers think it does but I'm of the opinion an intern reads all complaints and then empties the recycle bin without even passing them on.

You could try I guess.

They do open mail. If a thousand people sent actual mail (not just form letters), it's something the recipient will know about. If you want someone in the federal government to see and read what you write them, it's far better to send mail than an email or phone call.
 

Canada Scraps Digital Service Tax On U.S. Tech Giants To Revive Trade Talks​

Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne wrote on X overnight that Canada has withdrawn its controversial Digital Services Tax (DST) on Silicon Valley tech giants, such as Alphabet and Meta, in order to restart stalled trade negotiations with the Trump administration. It's another win for President Trump, as his 'Art of the Deal' tactics continue to bring far-left progressive countries back in line with his 'America First' agenda.

"Canada is engaged in complex negotiations on a new economic and security partnership with the U.S.," Champagne wrote on X late Sunday.

He continued, "Rescinding the DST will allow the negotiations to make vital progress and reinforce our work to create jobs and build prosperity for all Canadians."

As a fresher, Canada's DST was a 3% tax on the revenue that big tech companies earn from Canadian users, specifically from online advertising, marketplaces, and user data.

Canada's move follows President Trump's Friday afternoon announcement calling for all trade discussions with the country to be terminated. He also threatened to impose new tariffs within a week.

Also last Friday, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent told CNBC that U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer would investigate the tax to "determine the amount of harm to the U.S. companies and the U.S. economy in general."

The stakes are high for Canada, as three-quarters of its exports are shipped to the U.S.—including energy products, other commodities, and automobiles—so tariffs would be devastating to the local economy.

Canada has taken the common-sense approach of returning to the negotiating table with Trump to work out a trade deal that benefits everyone.

UBS analyst Jason Cheng commented overnight on the developments:

Canada has withdrawn its digital services tax on technology companies in a move to restart trade talks with the U.S. This came after the pause in talks last Friday when U.S. President Donald Trump called an end to discussions with Canada, in retaliation for the digital tax. USDCAD is trading lower post the headline.

Daniel Béland, a political science professor at McGill University in Montreal, told AP News that Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's retreat was a "clear victory" for Trump.

"President Trump forced PM Carney to do exactly what big tech wanted. U.S. tech executive will be very happy with this outcome," Béland said.

Moments ago, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick thanked Canada for removing the DST tax.

Thank you Canada for removing your Digital Services Tax which was intended to stifle American innovation and would have been a deal breaker for any trade deal with America. https://t.co/b944wQ4cyn
