Remember the whole "Russian Hoax" claim? It's now appearing that this wasn't a hoax at all. It was a the tip of a corrupt international child sex-trafficking network, involving some of the richest, most powerful people on the planet. With Trump as a willing partner. A Putin KGB honeypot.

In the past 12 hours there is a subtle shift in the American zeitgeist. It's like the tiny pebbles moving that lead to an avalanche. I have seen many people publicly express feelings of quiet desperation. They are mourning what is now lost and can never be returned to. 1/2

In the eyes of the world: Trump is the distillation of all that comprises the cliché, stereotypical American. He is America's representation on the world stage. He is you, America, whether you voted for him or not

In the dark days following 9/11 the Republicans led a rush to put security over freedom. Most focused on the Patriot Act, and its surveillance state. Some voice concern that DHS wad setting up as some sort of secret police turned on Americans. Two decades later: it's not secret and it's worse.

This explains so much. People with psychopathic traits and low cognitive ability are over-represented in online political activity. If someone is being cruel, obnoxious and ridiculous, don't try to reason with them. Chances are you won't get anywhere. Just block. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

All this, everything the US has, or is going to do, is trying to distract from the glaring evidence that Trump isn't just in the Epstein files, he's a core conspirator, willing participant, and fellow frafficker. Trump is quite willing to start WW3 to do this.

The Maduro capture to cause regime change indicates Trump's fantasy, absolute monarchist thinking. He believes that removing Maduro (the king) will renew a nation in a different vein. In reality the politics of Venezuela will not change without a lengthy war and/or costly occupation. ... /2

Better headline... White House unable to get its lies straight.

I guess all these Trumpy trade officials saying that CUSMA/USMCA/T-MEC is not dead, are confirming the opposite. Since when has any of them told the truth or bargained in good faith? Free trade with the US . IS . DEAD . Good riddance.

Trump has declared Antifa a terrorist organization. This was obviously predictable. Prediction: this is a pretext to a "reveal" that Antifa is widespread and everywhere. To counter this "national security emergency" DHS will widen ICE's role to national security, usurping or paralleling FBI.

Charlie Kirk was murdered. Strip away the political, ideological, moral, and philosophical justifications. Remove heated emotion. His life was ended in violence. It is wrong. The murderer must be delt with fairly, in accordance with law. Otherwise this will end in unimaginable bloodletting.

In the 1930's The Nazis also told the Jews to "self-deport." Many had nowhere else to. They ended up in concentration camps. Until the Final Solution, when they were exterminated. This IS where the USA is headed.

AI psychosis - the dellusion that AI is conscious it's keeping Microsoft's AI head awake at night. Current AI is a dead end. Scientists are discovering that our brains seem to use room temperature quantum processes. No data centre can do that. It can't model it. www.bbc.com/news/article...

WTF? Ford is hiring American firm to build a Canadian hospital? What about all his outrage at Trump? He talks tough in the media about fighting back on tariffs then rewards USA? I’m so sick of his duplicity. Can’t wait for the OShow Scandal Panel tomorrow 😡 #Ontario #Onpoli #CndPoli #CanadaSky

A lot of fraudulent electronic pan-handlers lately purporting to be from Gaza. Giving them money supports criminal enterprises. It's best to stick with registered charities that are financially transparent. Anything else is technically illegal.

The pro-DST crowd are foaming at the mouth about losing $2-billion annual revemue. Do the math. The first round of US Surtax is 25% on $30-billion in trade, $7.5-billion yearly. There are two more surtax orders, a TRQ on top of that and Surtax on $100-billion+ still pending. We're way ahead.

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity. - Yeats - The Second Coming.

The final nail in US democracy's coffin is in place. Elected officials delaying an election. This will be challenged all the way to a far-right SCOTUS. If it stands, a legal pathway exists to perpetually delay elections. It ends not with a bang but a whimper. www.cbsnews.com/miami/news/c...

Mend fences? No fences to mend, just a big huge f%@#ing chasm. While 51st State talk continues America is not a friend, it is an enemy. A regime change won't fix this either. It took over 50-100 years to heal the rift the last time. www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

Now this made me tear up. There is much to be done is this world. We’ve got lots of work ahead of us.

NO - Auto Tariffs Don't Apply To ALL Computers Misinformation making the rounds. The claim that all computers are subject to 25% US Automotive Tariff. A quick read of the US Federal Register disproves this. The EO states "parts of" autos of an HTS list, NOT all. www.heise.de/en/news/US-a...

Something is horribly broken in the US. We joke about poor red states, but it's just not true. Poverty is a result of staggering economic inequality. At some point a class war will kick off. It'll be "bottom rail on top" (US Civil War) www.euronews.com/business/202...

What are tariffs, duties, taxes, surtaxes, countermeasures? They are charges placed on commodities (goods) entering (or leaving) a country. DISCLAIMER - this is an over simplification of Canadian import charges; a distillation of thousands of pages of official documents / statute. 1/
