“The FBI has reportedly relaxed hiring standards that previously automatically disqualified applicants who admitted to hiring prostitutes, engaging in bestiality, or stealing from an employer.” Well Demento Don can now qualify post- presidency on at least two of those relaxed standards. Horse fucking probably won’t come up unless the Epstein Files are released unredacted. ---

> [@Princhester](#): > > What is Trump’s thing about wanting to renovate the Kennedy Centre? I understand why he wanted to re-name it in his own honour (he’s a mentally ill fuckwit). But what’s with the obsession with renovating it? Since the court blocked the name change I would have thought he would have lost interest in it. Is it simply a way to justify closing it for a few years as revenge on the lib’ruls? Or what? My speculation is he gets bribes to sign the go aheads on these renovation projects. Somebody “donates” a million dollars to Trump and he signs a multi-million dollar contract for an unneeded project that will be paid for by taxpayers. Trump and the renovation company make money and the rest of us pay the bill. ---

Renovations while occupancy continues are more not less expensive because working around the occupants is hard. So I’m not sure this works. Renovating while keeping the Center open would have been an opportunity for one of Trump’s buddies to charge an extra zero. ---

Heh. Trump thinks that “American” businesses operating in Canada can just pick up stakes and move to the US. Well, no, they cannot. Canadian business law prevents American businesses from running Canadian branches from the US. “General Motors of Canada Inc.” is a Canadian company, incorporated in Canada. “Ford Motors of Canada Inc.” is a Canadian company, incorporated in Canada. Yes, the American owners of the shares in these Canadian companies (i.e. GM and Ford, respectively) own the shares, but have little say in these entirely separate corporations’ day-to-day business. When Trump says that he’s wanting American corporations operating in Canada to return to the United States, he’s displaying his ignorance once again. Because what he thinks are American corporations operating in Canada, are actually Canadian corporations operating in Canada. Canadian business law 101: American corporations in Canada are not American. They are not allowed to be. I recall working (in Canada) for a US-based company in Toronto that gave us US holidays: no Canada Day, no Canadian Thanksgiving, but instead, we got the Fourth of July and American Thanksgiving. That company was shut down pretty quickly once the Ontario Government got wind of that. Yeah, we all lost our jobs, but there was a certain amount of schadenfreude attached to the “Americans operating here must adhere to our labour laws, and if you do not, you won’t be allowed to operate in Canada.” That’s just an example of where Trump’s “American companies operating in Canada should just move back to the US” falls flat. The companies he’s referring to are not American at all, they are Canadian corporations, as corporate records show. American companies cannot tell their Canadian subsidiaries what to do. The roadblock is that those Canadian corporations operate under an entirely different corporate structure than the American parent. In other words, and putting it simply, even if a business is nominally American, it isn’t really. Canadians retain control of all companies operating inside Canada. Enough for now. ---
