David 🇨🇦 @d-p-h.bsky.social · 14hDrivers routinely crash into each other and fall off the road when there’s snow. Cycling and driving both require a little more skill in the winter months. Winter cycling isn’t for everyone, but it’s certainly possible. 050
David 🇨🇦 @d-p-h.bsky.social · 12/10/2026The trouble is, you’re so hamstrung by the constitution that change is practically impossible. But you allow one person to just ignore all the “checks and balances” as well as the constitution itself. Is there a peaceful way to sort it out? I have my doubts. 000
David 🇨🇦 @d-p-h.bsky.social · 12/10/2026It seems utterly incomprehensible that you have a judiciary appointed by politicians and electoral districts decided by political parties. That a president can grant pardons to anyone, let alone himself is unthinkable in any modern society. 100
David 🇨🇦 @d-p-h.bsky.social · 12/10/2026From outside I’m afraid it seems the US is mired in the 17th century. You have an electoral system designed to prevent exactly what it now enables and no ability to change it. A system that allows an ‘electoral college’ to override a majority vote. 100
David 🇨🇦 @d-p-h.bsky.social · 12/10/2026I think you’re being overly generous, the USs best interests are not a factor in the tangerine tw*ts thoughts, only his personal interests. 100

David 🇨🇦 @d-p-h.bsky.social · 10/09/2026I’m sorry, but that is exactly what they voted for. Maybe not spelled out word for word, but they’d seen his first go, they knew this would be worse and they voted for it. Or they didn’t vote which is tantamount to a vote for it. 90 bloody million did not vote - let that sink in. 000
