And there it is. The root of US political dysfunction. Big money in politics. It is fundamentally anti-democratic for anyone or any entity to be able to spend more than the average citizen on political campaigns. Why is this concept so difficult for the US?

Trump has lowered the low bar. Free speach and freedom of assembly are under attack. Cops and Kristi's cosplay cops feel emboldened to abuse citizens, feeling above the law and free of consequences. Rapid expansion of ICE has resulted in poorly trained moron cops. Its a descent into hell.

"History suggests that the proficient cruelty of such regimes is unable to compensate for the stupidity and incompetence of their cadres. Their security apparatuses have a distorted view of the threats facing the regime." Sounds familiar... www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

It reinforces my notion that it's not just Trump that Canada has to watch out for, it's the US, regardless of party. I certainly don't see a robust response, and that's a concern. Can't speak for 40m people, but I bet this is a common feeling. So, we are diversifying. Your loss. #ElbowsUp

Last time I checked, the whole of the United States is a free protest zone, with minor exceptions for gov/mil bases/buildings etc and private property. Peaceful protesting is entirely legal. Kristi the Dog Murderer is a facist idiot. Too much Botox leaked into the frontal lobes methinks.

ICE Raids Children's Hospital in Virginia 🤬

Only 28%. Pathetic. Liberal progressive democracy and trade & alliances with other liberal democracies is what allowed the US to become rich. Its a hard lesson that might never be fully learned, unfortunately.

Carney tends to lower the temperature in the room. Also not afraid to ask direct questions, so its important for him to be there. It's a good thing. Whether or not it's successful remains to be seen but it won't be for lack of trying on his part.

Good. Send a frigate and a CP-140 for good measure. Perhaps an AOPS as well. I would send some dog sleds, just to pinch the mad king. We can evolve a new global defence alliance built on the NATO foundation without the US. Time to stand.

Thanks for this. I didn't understand the context. I'm disappointed that it clearly strokes Donny's ego, but if this is what it takes, it's certainly worth a shot.

My Canada is on the right side of history.

Everyone should trust a natty dresser like Bovino Oops…I meant “Nazi”

Impossible to know if this is true. That we can readily accept it as plausible, speaks volumes for loss of trust...

This is worth reflecting on... The US is strong because of the relationships that it is currently burning. I wonder where Donny got this idea. Who Putin it in his ear?

The brainwashing coming the reframing, the streaming of absolute bullshit out of this administration is breathtaking. It is appalling and stunning, but it’s not surprising.

We're next 🇨🇦. Fuck Ted Cruz. The US already has the ability to deploy forces to 10 unused bases in Greenland if it perceives a threat. Within NATO it has allied forces to secure the North. This bullshit makes the US weaker, and serves Putin's interests. We 🇨🇦 will fight this.

Nice. Imagine having to write satire today, only to find out that you've become a trusted news source.

Good lord. The twisted stupid logic these syncophants use to prop up the mad king. The only national emergency in the US is Donald J Trump.

Elon's Tesla cars are foreign roving data collectors from a belligerent hostile neighbor and a racist white supremist oligarch bent on building a comprehensive data store on all of us. PoiLIEvre has no problems with Elon - birds of a feather. Which do I fear more? China or Elon? Take a guess.

Here it comes. The mad king has his sights on Canada again.

Well, when pharaohs died, they buried their slaves with them, so there's that option. Just thinking outside the box.

Yet another shitty expensive Trump branded "product" that is doomed to fail, but will pay off handsomely for Donny Dipshit. Only rubes need apply.

Best one yet. 🤣

"Macron: ‘No amount of intimidation’ will change EU nations’ course on Greenland" www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

This is insane. I thought, this has to be an Onion gag. But no. The malignant orange narcissist actually dreamed this crazy shit up. We are way past 25th amendment territory folks. Shear madness. Where the hell is the GOP?

"Give us Greenland or we will increase taxes on American citizens for things that they buy" is such a masterpiece of foreign policy

I would like to think the Mad King proclaiming “I will continue to illegally raise taxes on the American people until the NATO alliance collapses” would be the type of statement to cause Congress to act, but I’m not sure there’s any red line the GOP Congress has anymore.

Well, this is terrifying. The stock market resets (and it will), the rich 10% pull back on spending, thus consumer spending collapses, triggering massive lay offs, spiraling down until it finds a bottom. Fuck. There needs to be a graceful reset rather than a short, sharp, shock. But... Trump.

Don't feed the animals.

Of course he has. Making friends everywhere. Hello US voters. Your president and the GOP are burning all of your international relations, except with Russia. This will hurt you... Bigly. Time for regime change in November.

And.... We have a winner.

So Doug is fine with Elon Fucking Musk having all your vehicle, driving and destination data, but not China. I frankly can't see much difference. I would buy a Chinese EV before I bought a Swastikar.

Terribly uncanny how relevant this is to today.

Oh snap...

#Canada PM Carney says world can move on without US, stresses new ties www.straitstimes.com/world/canada...

Voldemort here has, apperantly, never read an actual law. He is spouting law of the jungle, something civilized nations discarded long ago.

This is raw #Nazi propaganda.

What an arrogant little prick. The rest of the "western" "free" world can get along just fine without the US. We don't want to - it's a suboptimal outcome - but we can. Keep pushing this bullshit, this flawed "reasoning", and find yourself alone and wondering why you are in decline.

Disrespectful, low life, idiots. These are Trump's "ambassadors". The US is burning bridges. Bridges that were fundamental to decades of growth prosperity, & security for the US. Yup, you needed us. Now we're gone. Canada is forming trade alliances outside of the US, today with China no less.

It's a big planet. The USA is now so toxic that brutal regimes elsewhere look like perfectly fine trading partners now. Well done MAGAts.

You seem reasonable. Those are good arguments. I never intend to "spread disinformation". The "expert" was failing from a bias known as the "curse of knowledge". Clearly people need to mask up. It is, at least, an irritant. Protesters need to be careful. I will also be more careful. Peace

Canada signed a deal with China, and both countries have lowered or removed tariffs to boost their economy, building on common ground: people first. The US is being pushed aside, further due to acting like a bully, rather than a trade partner. US farmers are to thank don-old for his failed tactic

The nerve gas fraternity got its collective knickers in a twist over semantics this morning. What ever you categorize gas used by military forces for crowd control, there is no justification for ICE to use it on peaceful protesters. None. We can quibble about chemistry, but that's not the point.

Enough. Blocked.

Have a nice day.
