2026 USA Political Thread
- Thread starter PuntMeister
- Start date
Several of the claims in the original statement are either unsupported, inaccurate, or presented without evidence. Here's a breakdown:
| Claim | Assessment | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| "Obama and Biden flooded the country with 45 million invaders." | False | There is no evidence that 45 million people entered or reside in the U.S. illegally. Estimates of the unauthorized immigrant population are around 11–13 million, not 45 million. The term "invaders" is political rhetoric rather than a factual description. |
| "The purpose was to overload the system, protect, and replace a law & order society." | Unsupported | There is no evidence that either the Obama or Biden administration had a stated or documented policy objective to "replace" a law-and-order society. This is an opinion or allegation, not an established fact. |
| "Trump stepped up deportation efforts." | Mostly True | During both of his administrations, Donald Trump prioritized stricter immigration enforcement, expanded detention and deportation efforts, and increased pressure on jurisdictions that limited cooperation with federal immigration authorities. The extent and effectiveness of those efforts varied over time. |
| "87% of Americans support deporting these illegals." | False or unsupported | No reputable national poll consistently finds that 87% of Americans support deporting all undocumented immigrants. Polling generally shows more nuanced views, with support depending on whether respondents are asked about people convicted of crimes, recent border crossers, or all undocumented immigrants. |
| "It's these paid protesters who make it look otherwise." | Unsupported | There is no evidence that protests against immigration enforcement are generally composed of paid protesters. While isolated cases of compensated organizers have occurred in various political movements, there is no credible evidence supporting this as a broad explanation for immigration-related protests. |
| "Trump's sanctions and tariffs against Canada were to aid deporting 45 million invaders." | False | U.S. tariffs or sanctions on Canada have generally been justified by trade, economic, or broader national security arguments—not as a mechanism to deport tens of millions of undocumented immigrants. There is no evidence they were imposed for that purpose. |
| "Canada in summers of hopeless conflagrations..." | Partly opinion, partly factual | Canada has experienced severe wildfire seasons in recent years. Describing them as "hopeless conflagrations" is rhetorical rather than factual. |
The passage mixes opinions with factual claims. The central factual assertions—particularly the claim of 45 million "invaders," the alleged intent of the Obama and Biden administrations, the claim that 87% of Americans support deporting all undocumented immigrants, and the connection between tariffs on Canada and deportation policy—are not supported by credible evidence.
From a Canadian perspective, the situation has been different. As Canada faces increasingly destructive summer wildfire seasons, many Canadians view U.S. sanctions and tariffs imposed by President Trump as harmful to bilateral relations and unrelated to the United States' immigration enforcement efforts.

I'd suggest he sit and spin. 🖕 But I don't think he's capable of either without the aid of several flunkies.
Were it not for the fact that we import about 80% of our phosphate from down south; I'd suggest a strategic reduction of potash exports (used in fertilizer).
The average American could stand to lose a few pounds.
The average American could stand to lose a few pounds.
How about we make our own fucken fertilizer!!!!
Again this is just an example of how we export raw material and buy it back later.... Canadians are losers!!!!
Canada is the world’s largest potash exporter, shipping over 22.9 million tonnes in 2024, with the United States, Brazil, and China as its top markets.
Overview of Canadian Potash Production and Exports
Canada holds the largest potash reserves globally, estimated at 1.1 billion tonnes of recoverable potassium oxide equivalent, primarily located in Saskatchewan
Canada exported 22.9 million tonnes of potash in 2024, representing over 39% of global potash exports
Trade Dynamics and Strategic Importance
Canadian potash exports are critical for global food security, as potash is a key component in fertilizers that enhance soil fertility, crop yields, and drought resistance
Canada’s potash industry also contributes significantly to the economy, generating high-paying jobs in Saskatchewan and substantial tax revenues, with the sector paying over $5 billion in taxes in 2022
Export Logistics and Market Trends
Canadian potash is primarily shipped via rail and port infrastructure from Saskatchewan to North American and international markets
Summary
Canada’s potash exports are a cornerstone of the global fertilizer supply, with Saskatchewan as the production hub, the U.S. as the largest importer, and emerging markets in Asia and Latin America expanding demand. The combination of large reserves, strategic production capacity, and reliable logistics ensures Canada remains the leading global supplier, with significant economic and geopolitical influence in the agricultural sector
First of all I suggest you speak for yourself with the "loser" talk. Coming off a little 'Trumpian'.
If you're so disillusioned by 'Canadians', maybe move.
I agree that the every party of the Canadian Government has coasted for decades on our relationship with America. Clearly that is beginning to change; but it's like making a u-turn with a cargo ship. It takes time and money.
Secondly it's nice to see you research this topic and not just posting unsupported info.

Canada imports phosphate from the United States primarily because it currently has no active domestic production of phosphate rock or fertilizer, despite having known reserves.
Lack of Domestic Production
As of mid-2026, Canada produces zero phosphate fertilizer domestically. The country's only significant phosphate mine, the Kapuskasing operation in Ontario, closed in 2013. While Canada possesses igneous phosphate deposits (notably in Quebec and Ontario) and some sedimentary deposits (in British Columbia), these projects remain in the exploration or development stage and have not yet reached commercial operation. Consequently, Canadian agriculture, which requires over 2.6 million tonnes of phosphate annually, relies entirely on imports.
Reliance on the United States
The United States serves as Canada's primary supplier, providing approximately 80% of its phosphate needs. This trade relationship is driven by:
- Geographic Proximity: The integrated North American supply chain allows for efficient transport via rail and barge from major U.S. production hubs in Florida, North Carolina, and Idaho to Canadian prairies.
- Established Infrastructure: Major fertilizer producers like Nutrien and Mosaic operate integrated facilities that source U.S. rock and process it into finished fertilizers (such as Monoammonium Phosphate) specifically for the North American market.
- Lack of Alternatives: While phosphate is available from Morocco, Russia, and the Middle East, logistical challenges, geopolitical instability, and shipping distances make the U.S. the most reliable and cost-effective source for bulk Canadian imports.
Future Outlook
Efforts are underway to reduce this dependency. Several Canadian companies, including Arianne Phosphate in Quebec and Fox River Resources in Ontario, are advancing projects to mine domestic igneous phosphate. However, industry analysts note that bringing these mines to full production will take several years, meaning Canada will likely remain dependent on U.S. imports in the immediate future.
Canada possesses sufficient phosphate reserves to theoretically replace imports, but it cannot do so immediately.
While Canada has massive deposits capable of meeting domestic demand, no commercial mines are currently operational, and developing them will take several years.

While Canada has massive deposits capable of meeting domestic demand, no commercial mines are currently operational, and developing them will take several years.
Reserve Quantity vs. Demand
Canada's known phosphate reserves significantly exceed its annual consumption needs:
- Annual Demand: Canada imports approximately 2.6 million tonnes of phosphate fertilizer annually (roughly 1.5 million tonnes of finished product like MAP/DAP).
- Available Reserves:
- The Lac à Paul project in Quebec (developed by Arianne Phosphate) holds estimated reserves of 590 million tonnes of ore.
- The Fire Lake North project (Champion Iron) holds approximately 464 million tonnes of reserves.
- Additional sedimentary deposits exist in British Columbia (e.g., the Wapiti project).
- Capacity: The Lac à Paul project alone is designed to produce up to 2 million tonnes of apatite concentrate annually, which could satisfy a vast majority of Canada's current fertilizer requirements.
l
Despite having the quantity of resources, Canada currently lacks the production capacity:
- Zero Domestic Output: As of July 2026, Canada produces 0 tonnes of phosphate fertilizer domestically. The last major mine closed in 2013.
- Development Timeline: Converting these reserves into operating mines is a lengthy process. Even "shovel-ready" projects like Lac à Paul require significant capital investment (estimated at US$1.7 billion for the downstream plant) and construction time.
- Processing Challenges: Much of Canada's phosphate is igneous (hard rock), which requires different processing technology than the sedimentary rock currently imported from the U.S. Building the necessary purified phosphoric acid (PPA) plants adds years to the timeline.
Canada has the geological potential to replace U.S. imports entirely, with reserves enough to last for decades. However, due to the 5–10 year lead time required to finance, permit, and construct mines and processing facilities, Canada will remain dependent on American imports for the foreseeable future.

As far as I’m concerned, there’s only a two second clip from Friday night’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner that’s worth watching. The rest you can learn about in summary, if you want to.
It was the moment when Trump tried to engage Wall Street Journal investigative reporter Khadeeja Safdar in a brief conversation. Safdar rolled her eyes at Trump, turned on her heels and walked away.
Trump wanted to talk to her. Khadeeja Safdar gave him her back. Trump turned to the audience and gave a stupid shrug. It happened on stage in full view of everyone with cameras rolling.
If you don’t already know it, here’s the backstory. In July of 2025, the Wall Street Journal published an exclusive story uncovering a “birthday card” that Trump created for Jeffrey Epstein in 2003. It contained the outline of a naked woman and some lascivious advice, one rapist to another.
Trump lied and aggressively denied the authenticity of the card, calling it a “fake thing.” Trump claimed the card didn’t exist. Trump then filed a $10 billion lawsuit against the WSJ and the reporters who had written the piece. One of the reporters was Khadeeja Safdar.
Then the so-called “fake thing” that “didn’t exist” was made public in September of 2025. There is no question in any sane person’s mind that the card is authentic and Trump wrote it. The card was subsequently handed over to the House Oversight Committee. The judge overseeing Trump’s bogus lawsuit threw the case out.
But the damage had already been done. Of all the people and all the reporters mentioned in Trump’s horseshit lawsuit, only Khadeeja Safdar’s personal home address appeared — unredacted. And because the lawsuit was made available in full to the public, her life and the lives of her family were placed in peril.
Khadeeja Safdar and her family had to move out of their family home. They were all put in fear for their lives because the stupidest man to ever infest the White House always has to blame someone else for the millions of stupid things he has done in his stupid, pathetic, fucking life.
Was the inclusion of Safdar’s home address done on purpose? Of course it was. Safdar is a woman of colour, and Trump hates women, especially women of colour. He did it to punish her and any other woman of colour who dares to write the truth about him.
CNN’s Wolf Blitzer vapidly summarised this story, at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner without a tenth of the outrage it demanded. He did this before introducing the WSJ reporters who worked on the story and bestowing on them the Katharine Graham Award for Courage and Accountability.
When blitzer mentioned the part about Trump doxing Safdar, Trump turned to the audience and gave one of his moronic smiles with a shrug. As if it was funny.
But the White House Correspondents’ Dinner is no longer funny, and Trump putting an American citizen in fear for her life and in fear for the lives of her family simply because she exercised her First Amendment rights is disgusting beyond comprehension.
Trump has done this kind of thing before. Trump heavily targeted Georgia election workers Ruby Freeman and her daughter, Wandrea “Shaye” Moss, fraudulently alleging that they hid thousands of 2020 election ballots with Trump votes on them.
They did no such thing. Both women were doxed and forced to abandon their homes.
Both women successfully sued Trump for $148 million in damages for defamation and intentional emotional distress. Again, both of Trump’s victims were women of colour. [They later settled the case for a lesser undisclosed amount so they wouldn’t have to wait while Trump delayed and delayed for years. But you can bet the settlement was for millions of dollars.]
Khadeeja Safdar would be well within her rights to sue the living shit out of Trump. That’s up to her, of course. But whatever she chooses, I wish her and all women like her the very best that life can bring.
And I wish Trump a slow and painful death.

Peer-Reviewed Study Confirms Abortion Drug Mifepristone Found in American Drinking Water
Past research has shown that steroid hormones and other endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) are present in environmental water, with implications for human and wildlife health. Abortion providers have shifted a large part of their practice to medication-induced abortion, using the anti-progesterone synthetic steroid hormone mifepristone. We wanted to see if mifepristone, an EDC, could be detected in water sources. Water samples were collected from sites upstream and downstream of water treatment facilities, and from municipal tap water, from each of 3 American cities. The water samples were tested for mifepristone using PR CALUX®. There were significant levels of mifepristone (up to 0.041 μgram/l) in the water of all but one of the nine sampling classes. Because of the plethora of effects of progesterone, this contaminant could affect the physiology of aquatic animals; and human health, including fertility, pregnancy and fetal development. The findings indicate the necessity for significant additional investigation into the levels of various hormones and EDCs, including mifepristone, in water sources.

The referring article in a veteran's news page says:
And it just so happens the water supply in these cities is quietly controlled by globalist billionaire Bill Gates, who seized control of vast aquifers, water tables, and untapped reservoirs lying underneath major urban centers when he became America’s largest owner of farmland.
AI says Bill Gates has no known connection to these three specific locations.
Disclosure: I only read the article not the charts.

The U.S. 30-year Treasury bond yield jumped to 5.201% (hitting a peak of 5.244%), reaching its highest level since July 2007. US needs more money to service their debts. It’s literally a sinking ship. Only their military is giving it a semblance of might. Borrowing costs are higher for business and consumers. I think the Midterms will definitely be a done deal. Dems will control both houses. Trump will be pissed and will add more tariffs to Canada to divert attention. We might be the new punching bag. 😂

My 2 cents
The US military is the largest jobs program in the world, and a massive transfer of funds from the public purse to the military industrial complex. It costs the American tax payer an obscene amount of money and fuels the debt and borrowing problem. And for what? They can't even subdue Iran. Without the nuclear arsenal they are being exposed as much less useful than it seems.
The voters will definitely want to vote to give dems control, that part is a done deal. What Trump and republicans at the federal and state levels allow to happen is another matter. Elections will not be free. They will cheat, lie and steal to retain power. November in the US will be chaos and It may be violent.
We will definitely be the punching bag to distract attention, and the whole Greenland mess will erupt again.
Chaos will not be confined to the US.
Rant over.
I absolutely agree with you, 100%. The arrogance of these people are just the worst kind. I wouldn't have said this 3 years ago. US is surely becoming a 3rd world country. And honestly, I can't wait to see this happen.
