Biden, Trump win Kentucky primaries as presidential nominating season nears end

U.S. President Joe Biden and his Republican rival, Donald Trump, piled up more delegates Tuesday as both presumptive nominees won primaries in Kentucky.
Voters in Oregon also had their chance to weigh in. The symbolic decisions provide a few more delegates to the national conventions and a gut check on where the Democratic and Republican bases stand toward their standard-bearers as the presidential nominating season nears its end.
Even after they secured the nominations and their rivals dropped out, Biden and Trump have continued facing dissent from within their own parties. Biden has faced protest votes over his handling of the Israel-Hamas war while Trump is still seeing thousands of people voting for long-vanquished rival Nikki Haley.
After Tuesday, eight presidential nominating contests will remain: Democrats in Idaho, the District of Columbia, Guam and the Virgin Islands, and both parties in Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico and South Dakota.
Voters in Kentucky, Oregon, Georgia and Idaho also held state primaries Tuesday to choose nominees for the U.S. House and other contests. And in California’s Central Valley, voters will select a Republican to replace former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. Republicans Vince Fong and Mike Boudreaux face off in the special runoff election to finish McCarthy’s term, and will have a rematch in November for the next full two-year term.
In Georgia, Fulton County district attorney Fani Willis, who is leading the prosecution of Trump in a 2020 election interference case, defeated challenger Christian Wise Smith in the Democratic primary. The judge in the case, Scott McAfee, also won his election.
In Oregon’s Multnomah County, home to Portland, the progressive district attorney who took office during the social justice movement of 2020 is being challenged by a candidate vowing to be tough on crime.

Biden, Trump win Kentucky primaries as presidential nominating season nears end
U.S. President Joe Biden and Republican rival Donald Trump piled up more delegates as both presumptive nominees won primaries in Kentucky.
As opposed to the Faux Christian who buys his wives from foreign countries, fucked porn stars and strippers, and paid hush money, has been found guilty of sexual assault, asked a governor to find votes when it was clear he was losing, incited a riot that killed five people, including a police officer who was beaten, had his house raided because he was too dick smack stupid to give back the Top Secret Documents everyone knew about, but he kept hiding and denying, and by the way, that's just the easy stuff, but, yeah, Hunter Biden.
Holy fuck dude, relax. It's just a joke. But since you wanna drone on about "Trump evil". Biden was responsible in whole and in part for some of the most racist legislation in the US since the Civil Rights Act became law. The three most egregious ones were the reclassification of crack separate from powder. The Three Strikes law and the for-profit prison system, all of which merely served to funnel more Black people into prison, justifiably or not. And then fucking retard Democrats decided to get all uppity-fuck about the over-representation of Black people in the federal prison system and then tried blaming the Republicans for it.
But yeah, Donald Trump.
I wasn't excited. I can write something and it doesn't mean I'm doing handstands and cartwheels.
In US presidential race, neither candidate is Canada's friend
Joe Biden is as protectionist, or perhaps more protectionist, than Donald Trump

Canadian politicians, and the media that cover them, need to get real about American politics.
The threat to Canada’s economy doesn’t come from the prospect of a second Donald Trump presidency, it comes from the entire American political system, which has become more protectionist.
This week, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau went to Philadelphia, the birthplace of American democracy, as he reminded successive audiences throughout the day.
Trudeau’s speech to the Service Employees International Union was the PM at his best. Full campaign mode, giving an uplifting speech to an audience already predisposed to liking, even loving, him.
These are the environments Trudeau thrives in, and as he loved the SEIU delegates, they loved him back.
His speech had a few digs at the opposition Conservatives back home, some veiled shots at Trump, but for the most part, he made the pitch for Canada and the United States doing business together. It’s good for jobs on both sides of the border, he told the cross-border union conference, a message he repeated at a business reception later in the day.
“Doing more as friends and partners is good for both of our countries for jobs but it’s also good for the world,” Trudeau said at that reception.
Trudeau pointed out that Canada is not only the No. 1 export market in the entire world for products made in Pennsylvania, but also bigger than the next four export markets combined. In an era when politicians on both sides of the American political aisle have become extremely protectionist, this is the type of message that Canadian politicians and ambassadors need to be making 24/7, 365 days a year.
Instead, most in Canada’s political establishment ignore the protectionism of the Democrats – a party that is historically more protectionist – and only worry about the Republicans. This was true before Trump, but since his arrival on the political scene there is this idea that only he will target Canadians economy.
“How concerned are you that no matter how much you try to insulate the Canadian economy, you’ll still be blindsided by a Trump presidency?” Trudeau was asked by a reporter on the trip.
Not to pick on this reporter, but like most covering Canadian politics, they don’t seem to realize that Joe Biden is as protectionist, if not more protectionist, than Trump was. The free trade ethos that ran from Reagan, Bush, Clinton and the second Bush administration is now gone.
Obama ramped up protectionism, Trump took it to a new level, but Biden makes Trump look like an amateur.
The Biden administration tried to move all electric vehicle and EV battery production to the United States using the Inflation Reduction Act. If you don’t like the tax breaks – not subsidies – going to plants in Canada, blame Biden.
The attempt to move all production stateside wasn’t blocked by Canada but by American senators who felt Biden went too far and endangered jobs in their states.
Biden has also increased tariffs on softwood lumber, he continues to threaten country-of-origin labelling that would decimate Canadian beef and pork producers. In the 2023 State of the Union speech, Biden threatened to block Canadian companies from providing materials or services for American infrastructure projects.
“I’m also announcing new standards to require all construction materials used in federal infrastructure projects to be made in America. American-made lumber, glass, drywall, fiber optic cables,” Biden said, to a standing ovation.
This isn’t an attempt to say that Canadians should prefer Trump over Biden but that we should judge them by the same standard. As a Canadian, my only interest in who holds the White House is how that office holder will treat this country.
Right now, both major party candidates are protectionists who will threaten Canadian jobs and they should both be treated as such.
We need our elected leaders and our media to face the reality of American politics and trade and realize the times have changed — neither party is our friend at this point.

LILLEY: In US presidential race, neither candidate is Canada's friend
The nominees for both major political parties in the US presidential race are incredibly protectionist -- which puts Canadian jobs at risk.
Rather than worry about the US, we need to fix our own government first. The US will "fix itself".......Hmmmm, where have I heard a phrase similar to that before?.......lol
