"Quebec riding of Terrebonne flips to Liberals after recount>shows candidate won by single vote"

Trump also was given a $400 Million Jumbo Jet to use to replace
Airforce One as a gift from Quatar which Trump said he'd be a
fool not to accept.. ignoring that the US Constitution makes his
accepting gifts like that totally illegal..
...so the tiniest 'error' on the ballot, like using a
check mark instead of an X, would have them tossing it if
it was for Carney.. But, in a recount, there are several
people keeping an eye on things and any ballot that makes

The USA today greatly reduced the tariffs on China, and they
lowered theirs in response for at least 90 days, which took
a little of tension off of the markets since China sells the
USA something like $600 Billion a year in goods.

Yes, but he's been hard at work trying to change the Constitution so
that he can have at least a Third term, and maybe more. It bugs the
heck out of him I'm sure that our Prime Ministers can stay in power
for as long as they can win elections, and I suspect he'd much rather
be like Putin so he could just change the law to stay President forever
and be able to assassinate anyone who wants to replace him.. B)

That would be one of my biggest nits to pick with him.
In a book many years ago, when referring to someone running for
Prime Minister or President, etc. Arther C. Clarke stated:
Anyone who deliberately aims at the job should be disqualified.
He suggested that the People should choose who they think would
be best at it and then talk them into taking the job..

not talking the anti-terrorism stuff, just the basic
things like communications and other electronics to run

Surely, that validity of the "emergency" would need to be
tested in the courts, or by congress or senate, no?

Recently I read a Wikipedia page about Presidency of George Washington.
After His second term He said that He would not be a candidate for a third term.
Yes. Supposedly, he was concerned that people could get re-elected repeatedly and be "like a King," which was something they had just gotten
rid of. ;)
