The confiscated books included a colouring in book and another was from Banksy. All of the titles are available to purchase online making any arrest pretty unreasonable.

Do you always get your news from LitHub? No wonder you’ve stuck out

Yeah Trump hasn’t said anything about taking over Gaza , has he,?
I’m not sure how you will go over there with a fast fading memory, you’d better consider that.As per usual, your post makes zero sense .
Right, your memory and comprehension is deteriorating fast,
How’s the medical system over there. ?
The gullible still thinks that Trump wants to make the US economy better ,
But all he really wants is a constitutional crisis.

Meidastouch regular guest
Canadian MP Charley Angus , explains
Every time Trump opens up his mouth,
Canadians double down on their boycott of the US , cancelling travel and US goods
already costing the US millions.
Canadians no longer want to be friends with a country that elected Trump. to office.
Charley explains why Meidastouch network
is so powerful in Canada, because Canadians
want information.
Canadians aren’t surprised at Trumps unpredictable destruction, unlike a lot of US and Australian citizens.
The world should learn a lesson from Canada .
about standing up to fascism !
The liars punishment is, not in the least he is not believed, but that he cannot believe anyone else…… George Bernard Shaw…..
And there are a couple on here that vomit misinformation…day after day…hour after hour.
And deliberately ….for what reason?…
And their punishment…..is themselves.

Hey Opti, you spewed some bullshit yourself yesterday. Seemed to change the topic pretty quickly when the facts were pointed out.
Do you have the self awareness to put yourself in the same category?
Call me old fashioned but to me it feels a bit shit having a leader of the free world whose word means fuck all, and his loyal subjects think it's O.K.
It feels like we are pawns in a Marvel movie with a crazy, power drunk dictator trying to destroy the world.
@ Opti, who said beware of false prophets?
Actually he didn't get spewed facts, things are much more complicated than Adam made out.
Some interesting news this morning
https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2025/feb/11/middle-east-crisis-li...
Hamas have brought the end of the ceasefire upon themselves. The way they treated those hostages is appalling. Getting them on stage frail and sick like some fucked up celebration + how many dead?
This is unfortunately the end of Gaza. Both sides are to blame. Hamas don't give a fuck about its people or human life as much as Israel don't give a fuck about them.
American debt.?…why they need to stop handing out money?…fact check anything….did you bother.
Haha. Like I said. You have no idea how this works. Your own preferred charity (WVA) receives almost 20% of its funding from AusAID. The US model is no different. It actually provides the certainty of funding for a lot of NGOs who deliver programs.
Just got off the phone with my mate that works in the security sector for US Aid programs. It’s fuckfight. No ‘handouts’ in his area, just well thought out programs that save the US money in so many ways.
One example he mentioned is a football program in Tunisia. The area it operates has seen a marked fall in ISIS influence. Improved governance. That extrapolates into improved security for US citizens and companies. If you want to take it as a purely transactional measure.
The apocryphal examples of ‘interpretive dance programs for transgender amputees in Somalia’, (if they do exist) are such a tiny minority of the overall budget (which in itself of tiny within the US government spending), but attracts so much attention from small-minded people. Forest and trees.
Anyway, back to being optimistic.
How much have you given personally…..because it comes down to that.
Everyone gives a little bit to the right aid people and takes the burden off governments.
Governments have a duty of care to their own people first. Then As prosperity grows, help everyone else..
34 trillion of debt needs to be dealt with at some point.
Poverty and homelessness at home also.
Cutting minor programs or sacking employees will not save '2 trillion' and eliminate the deficit. Trump and Musk got this idea that he can eliminate the deficit through cutting measures. Deficit is completely out of control but this won't fix it. Federal employees are not even 5% of the national budget. Their numbers remained stagnant over the last few decades despite the economy and the population growing significantly. The real spending is in 3 main areas: Healthcare (comprising Medicare, Medicaid, the Department of Health and Human Services), Social Security, and defense spending. If they truly want to find savings they need to tackle these 3. But any significant changes in these areas will have to go through Congress.

So Charley Angus Canadian MP is a total liar
You are the vomit that can’t trust anyone else.
I’m sure optimistic fool knows more about what’s going on in Canada than a
Canadian MP ,
Give us a totally out of date pre internet quote
Hahaha
If you think Canadian MP Charley Angus is a total liar., and you know more about Canada than him, why don’t you send him an email, hero , with an old pre Trump quote?
You think some old quote is going to justify your shallow gullibility ?

Yeah pretty dreadful, but considering they were being bombed relentlessly, and the local population being starved as food and medicine wasn't allowed in, you could say they were lucky to be alive.
I am thankful they could be returned to their families.
What is the excuse for the Palestinian hostages on their return from Israeli jails showing signs of torture and starvation? One even caught on film being raped, which sections of the Israeli population got extremely upset about. Not that he was raped but that the perpetrators were being held to account.
Again, I am thankful they could be returned to their families.
Do not know what Trump's plan is for Gaza, but what can be done against Hamas that the IDF have not already done? Serious question? US troops? Sure that will go down well in the ol USA.
I can only see a regional war breaking at as the end result and they will not be good for anyone in the region, including Israel.
Colonel Douglas McGregor who is hardly a leftie, and a Trump supporter has some interesting theories on where this could lead.

Hopefully any significant changes in, Health, Defence and Social Security funding will have to go through Congress,
But if Trump’s executive branch decide to keep ignoring Court Orders,
Constitutional Crisis time !
Trump’s really got a way with words , words that have politicians, journalists, kings and everyone else thinking WTF ? Those Arab nations will be doing overtime coming up with a suitable plan.

Yes that’s true. Any meaningful change in these areas would require congress to pass new legislation. Bypassing that would most definitely lead to constitutional crisis.

Many cancelled hotels.
30 percent of Florida tourism is from Canada?
Canadians buying Canadian whiskey instead of Kentucky Bourbon , etc .
Probably already a lot more than millions.
Not to mention the spate of plane crashes ,
Due to the FAA funding cuts.

yep, haha, millions from an ally and neighbour. the same amount the clown-brigade are saving by cancelling cambodian landmine clean-ups, or cancelling professional-development grants to physically disabled international commerce students in china-neighbouring Tajikistan. It'll just be a two-seconds phone call for china to hoover up the political cache with a handful of yuan. thankfully USA will break even, though. you're right, millions is peanuts to all of them.

Trump has already been ignoring court orders, regarding USAid , the treasury department raids , axing of CFPB , Unfreezing frozen federal funds.
Dodgy retirement offers to federal employees, and more that I can’t think of at the moment.
This tit pumps out and retweets a never-ending stream of misinformation and flat out lies to his 200 million followers on X, seemingly without the slightest attempt to check whether anything is remotely true, and this is his excuse.
No doubt that journalist can expect to find themselves in a gulag soon, in this brave new world.
^ geezus, that kid should get that growth on his arse looked at..
(in canada of course, he seems an important kid, so only the best)

Yes it’s the US businesses , that suffer , more than the government ,
If the rest of the world used the same tactics, on the US , the voters should be able to notice, and vote accordingly,
But then again , it will all be Bidens fault .

30% of International tourism but what about the entire tourism industry. Don't try fudge numbers.

That’s from memory that 30 percent of Florida tourists come from Canada,
Florida is only one of 50 US states,
So you can do the math,
The Canadian tourists are a $20 billion dollar industry in the US ,
If 50 percent change their travel plans
that’s $10 billion.
I didn’t try to fudge the figures, I
just rewatched the video
And that is a citizen. non government boycott,
Before the Canadian governments retaliatory tariffs , start.
That's a good point burleigh. I checked it:
Over 140.6 million tourists visited Florida in 2023, setting a new record for the state's highest visitation. This included 8.3 million international visitors, 129.1 million domestic visitors, and 3.2 million Canadian visitors.
Trumps magic working again. He has the Arab world coming together for a plan to re-build Gaza. He's the master manipulator.
"Speaking in the Oval Office, Donald Trump, again, pushed his plan for an American redevelopment, minus the Palestinians.
King Abdullah knows there would be huge opposition to something that has been described as ethnic cleansing, and promised a plan is coming, which he hopes will get American support"
