# This Weeks Discussion Theme: [Consoom Trumpler] (https://arete.network/polls/39f7e396-11a0-4c41-9cf4-deaf34f80341/)
In this weekly we consoooooooooom Trumpler! Unless you been living in a log cabin off grid for the last two weeks you likely know Trump has been arrested. So, what did he do? They must have finally gotten him for his trips to Epstein Island? Oops, wrong guy. Wait oh it must have been for his son’s shady business deals with Ukraine and China. Dang, wrong guy again. Oh, wait, it has something to do with that corn star Hurricane Denise? Wasn’t all this nonsense settled like years ago? Who knows... Just need to crack open a few more Dylan Mulvaney Bud Lights and turn on CNN. Is there any sports ball on?
 
 
 
 
 
Discussion ideas:
 
 
 
* What is your opinion on Trumps arrest?
* Is it really campaign finance fraud or just weaponized lawfare?
* Do you think Trumps arrest have harmed his prospects for 2024 or helped?

# Previous Weeklies:
* [Master List](https://communities.win/c/ConsumeProduct/wiki/ConPro-Weekly/)

Content mirroring between [scored.co/c/ConsumeProduct](https://scored.co/c/ConsumeProduct) and [arete.network/b/ConsumeProduct](https://arete.network/b/ConsumeProduct) is now ready for an experimental test run. There are bound to be some issues starting out and changes may be reverted if anything goes catastrophically wrong.
   
I have tried my best to minimize the number of requests to the Scored API as much as possible, which means that feed updates won't happen in real time, but they should still be frequent enough to display fresh content (currently a 15 minute interval). Old posts will be updated when accessed directly or when listed on feeds.
   
I've made sure to respect content deletion and not retain deleted content, so as long as everything works as intended, content deleted by users on scored.co should become unavailable as soon as someone attempts to view it, if not prior to that through feed updates detecting discrepancies.
   
Any posts or comments you make on Arete Network's Consume Product board will be automatically crossposted to Scored by a bot account.
   
Mirrored content is by default hidden from Arete's front page, but you may choose to enable it in [your settings](https://arete.network/settings/), or turn it off entirely if you so desire.

https://www.electionsquebec.qc.ca/resultats-et-statistiques/resultats-election-partielle-provinciale-en-direct/

Results of Arthabaska, Québec by-elections are in. Around 60% of registered voters, voted.

Parti Québécois ( less woke center-left nationalist, pro-independance ) : 46.3%

Parti Conservateur du Québec ( semi-libertarian Conservatives, pretty detached from federal Conservatives ) : 35%

(Nobody outsides the woke left buy the claims that it's ''far right nazis''.)

Liberal Party of Québec ( woke center antinationalist ) : 9.3%

Coalition Avenir Québec ( center federalist semi-nationalist ) : 7.2% total collapse from previous elections when they won a landslide

Québec Solidaire ( ultra woke hard left ) : 1.47%, massive drop.

QS claimed that this election was a run between ''the right and the far-right'', because of course.

Climat Québec ( woke climate cultists ) : 0.26% Politically irrevant, because other parties mostly share its climate ideology here.

A win for nationalism. None of the more woke parties could get over 10%.

Ethnic Québécois are mostly sick of being called racists for everything, being discriminated against on their own land, sick of the invasion by foreigners ( but won't dare say it, so they voted for the parti proposing the lowest immigration ).

If the PQ wins the next elections, there will be major political clashes because they want to lower immigration ( Canada has no intention to control its borders againts invaders ), remove woke anti-White guidelines in laws and tribunals. Which will be dragged in courts up to the Supreme Court of Canada, which will rule to keep the woke law and tribunal guidelines.

Problem is, the Québécois have weak spines and seem pretty comfortable leeching off federal transfers ( other province's money ). And their leaders, even the PQ, usually folds like wet cardboard when journoïds bring the accusations of racism.

P.S. : For the lulz, a podcaster mocked the hard Left Québec Solidaire for complaining about ''the 1%'', since they have 1% of the vote.
