"Aftermath -The consequences, effects, or period immediately following a significant, usually destructive or ruinous event, such as a war." What was once unfathomable and unimaginable is now possible. Hubris has replaced discretion. Global politics may look a lot different after this war.

The "Shield of America" is actually US extortion. After your neighbor gets attacked and others are threatened what do you do? You play a game against time. Because history shows regimes topple, leaders die, and public support wanes. Nothing stays the same. So survival is simple. Join and wait.

Trump turns back the clock on Iran by bombing it's desalination plants, power grids, etc. The GOP turns back the clock on America using repressive legislation. Don't forget to change your clocks today. Spring forward!

Trump Admin Rule #1 - Don't ever out-vanity Trump 😉

I can't image a more hapless bunch of complete morons. They're trying to act like tough shit and they're stepping in it instead. There's no forethought. No plan. Not a brain cell among them. They're just careening from one huge mistake to the next. This has to stop pretty soon or we'll all be toast.

Armageddon is a human construct. A crazed nightmare in the book of Revelations that has been reinterpreted every era since to align with current events and politics. The end is near! But it hasn't happened. Despite this Christians believe it word for word. God save us from these religious nut jobs 😬

The donut holes of War made visible.

It's a complete cluster-F of tankers, cargo ships, and other various other vessels trying to get in and out of the Straight of Hormuz right now. It's a total mess.

🇨🇦 PM Carney chooses his words carefully. He responds thoughtfully, taking all scenarios and reactions into account. One only needs to look at Trump's response to Spains decision not to support US actions in Iran to see how careful you must be especially when the US is your major trading partner.

American Exceptionalism has been both good and bad for the World. The result has always depended on it's leadership. Right now that's extremely bad. As a matter of fact, it's so bad American Exceptionalism may be on it's deathbed.

This should be a clear signal to the EU and any other country who's recently made trade deals with the US. It's not worth the paper it's written on. The US is not operating logically. The playbook is broken. Everything is on a whim. Things change in a heartbeat. The rug can be pulled at any moment.

Do you think Trump's neck rash is from when he slipped that Olympic men's hockey gold medal around his neck? That'll teach him!

The US is inherently politically unstable. It's subject to change every 4 yrs. It's electorate is fickle. Their decisions are based more on whose popular than policy. It's a disjointed country focused more on the individual than society as a whole. Every 4 yrs the World waits and holds it's breath.

"We have very strong objectives," Trump said. He doesn't provide specifics about what those "strong objectives" are so the American people know exactly why they bombed Iran. Because it's Iraq all over again. They manufactured the reasons. It's just another Haliburton style enrichment opportunity.

Armageddon anyone? Welcome to Christian Mythology 101 😔

"Tehran is in chaos. The internet is limited, and Iranians are trying to find loved ones and flee. 'I rushed to school to get my daughter from middle school. The girls were hiding under the stairs and crying,' said Ali Zeinalipoor, a Tehran resident." So much for the "Board of Peace" 😔

Scouting America is removing DEI (aka "woke") language from it's programs and publications due to pressure from Hegseth and the US Dept of War. They'll be replacing their Citizenship in Society merit badge with a new Military Service merit badge 🤔 Is it me or does this remind you of Hitler's Youth?

So . . . the US military shoots down a US Border Patrol drone with a laser near the Mexico border because they thought it was a Mexican cartel drone and then the FAA shuts down the airspace all due to a lack of operations coordination? Do Noem, Hegseth, or Bedford talk to each other at all? 🤦

Which is it, Pete? Is Anthropic AI a threat to the supply chain or a critical part of US defense production? Your completely illogical threat of totally banning it or making it an absolutely necessity is ludicrous. You can't have it both ways. You should have stayed at Fox News where anything goes 🙄

Good God! I swear I'm getting whiplash from US policies 🤪

The behavior in the US hockey team locker room and Trump's comments come as no surprise. It's expected, even required, boy behavior in the US. Misogyny has been normalized for a long time. Just like what's happening in the US right now, other countries have no idea how bad it really is or has been.

In Canada we pay taxes that go toward universal healthcare and social services. The financial burden is shared. In the US, that burden is on the individual. They rely on private insurance, if they can afford it, and if they deny your claim you're toast. You could lose everything and possibly die 🙄

So coal is clean? 🤔

I'm hoping to see this very same look on Trump's face someday.

Who creates a "Board of Peace" full of bullies, fascists, and despots who had to pay to join and then threatens another sovereign country with a hard deadline or else? Answer? It's not about peace. It's the Art of the Steal.

What do these three things have in common? Former Prince Andrew is arrested because of his Epstein files connection and Trump orders the release of files on aliens and UFOs and gives Iran 10 days to agree to a nuclear deal. Answer? Nothing on face value. Everything if you know how Trump distracts.

When the Trump regime ends they'll be ripping his name off buildings and organizations faster than they did after Hitler. The only reason they aren't doing it now is because it's easier to wait for the end than to risk retribution. This hateful regime will end. Make no mistake. The end is coming.

Didn't I just say something about aisle crossing in my last post 🙄

Is Poilievre getting ready to figuratively cross the aisle or is this simply window dressing? Did he have a "come to Jesus" with Harper's comments or maybe he's simply read the room? I'm guessing he's just playing the odds because it's hard to believe he would change his stripes after all this time.

Once fully revealed the scope of Epstein's child trafficking ring and those connected to it will be truly mind boggling. They need to be exposed and held accountable. Let the chips fall where they may!

Pinocchio's nose Rubio's two-faced talk Trump's late night ramblings Bondi's rant All about lies piled on lies.

Move to Fort Bragg? Doesn't he know the PFAS and TCEs in the water at Fort Bragg are high? That they've been linked to cancer and other illnesses? Maybe he thinks the real estate will be cheap 🙄

How did Amazon think people would react? That they wouldn't immediately think it's not just for pets? That they already know law enforcement can subpoena video? That "opting in" doesn't preclude humans? That the next privacy update would just sneak by users? What in the hell were they thinking?!

Why are people are attracted to Trump's fascist hate mongering idiocy? He's destroying US democracy, alienated allies, imposed ridiculous tariffs, killed US citizens, disappeared people, attacked Venezuela, threatened Greenland, and now he's starving Cuba. Why would you want that? Why would anyone?

This vote may end up being more symbolic than actionable, but what it definitely is is leverage for Canada. Trump has been creating fake leverage to use against Canada for months now because CUSMA (aka USMCA) is up for review. This vote will weaken that ridiculously trumped up leverage. Stay tuned.

Keep in mind nothing happens in a vacuum. Events, actions, and decisions don't occur in isolation they're influenced by circumstances, context, history, and other external factors. Critical thinking considers both known as well as possible unknown factors because . . . nothing happens in a vacuum.

Aside from the total lack of coordination between the US military and FAA regarding lasers I wonder how Mexico reacted when El Paso airspace was suddenly closed. Was this a test to see their reaction? Or was the US sending Mexico a message? Some things are meant to be subtle and some things are not.

This is what the US has always done. They're either nation building or nation crushing. Trump/Rubio love to crush with no plan for what happens afterwards. They do it without thought to how it affects people. They do it for money and power. The only thing it creates for Americans is animosity abroad

Qatar gave Trump a Boeing 747-8 aircraft last year. The Trump Regime is putting money from Venezuela oil sales into a Qatar bank. Qatar doesn't have an extradition treaty with the United States. Qatar may end up being the "ratline" some countries in South America were after WWII. Just saying 🙄

Is Trump willing to pay Canada for half the Gordie Howe Bridge the US never designated federal funds for? Trump can't even pay ICE let alone cough up 3.2B for half a bridge that's built and ready for ribbon cutting. Pick some other issue Donnie. This one makes you look like an uninformed dolt.

TPUSA halftime started with Hendrix's Star-Spangled banner (at the time considered disrespectful). Followed by violent, punch first, we're the best, jilted drinking, altar call music that tried hard to find nostalgia where there was none. This effort was pure MAGA for MAGA. Watch and be educated.

Trumpfatigue: Worldwide condition brought in by too much exposure to Trump's nightly Truth Social rants.

I'll take a Bad Bunny over a Pedo any day!

Trump is now going off about a bridge between Detroit and Windsor? Canada paid for it, US and Canadian workers are building it, and Trump endorsed it in 2017. Nothing's changed except Trumps steep cognitive decline as evidenced by his late night sundowning rants. Go back to your Bad Bunny nonsense.

I am so glad people are catching on to this. No, a surveillance state isn't about finding your cute lost puppy. No one is building camera networks for that. Peter Thiel, Jeff Bezos and the rest of the broligarchs are shooting their shot at a corporate techno state. www.ms.now/opinion/ring...

$5 Trump didn't even watch the entire the halftime show. If he had he would have seen flags from all the countries that make up the American continent. All of them. Not as something that needs conquering, but something that needs to be celebrated. Something that needs to be honored and respected.

TrumpRX says more about US healthcare than it does about reducing drug prices. Why are the very same Big Pharma companies who jack up drug prices for people with health insurance able to cut them so drastically when peole pay out-of-pocket? Because Big Pharma is the one who sets prices. That's why.

When a man like Viktor Orbán can be on a "Board of Peace" you know there's something seriously wrong with that board.
