The credibility of the US government is completely shot. Gone. Annihilated. Nobody anywhere in the world can believe a single word that comes out of this Administration. Ever.

I didn't want this. I said something like it would happen, and implored America to take a different path. But a plurality of voters wanted this. Finance and business wanted this, and backed it with money. SCOTUS wanted this, so badly they twisted the Constitution to get it. This all was a choice.

Hassett keeps dropping “The Art of the Deal” as evidence of the President’s deal-making prowess. Did everyone forget that Trump’s co-author, in 2019, wrote: “I’d be fine if Random House simply took the book out of print. Or recategorized it as fiction.” (?) www.latimes.com/books/la-et-...

Co-author of Trump’s ‘Art of the Deal’ says the book should be reclassified as fiction
President Trump's 1987 book "The Art of the Deal" helped make the real estate developer one of the most famous businessmen in America.

If I've been running an election campaign for three years on the taxpayers' dime and then another guy comes in and starts leading in the polls after only a few weeks of campaigning the smartest thing I can do is get the former leader of my party that hasn't won in a decade to say I'm awesome sauce.

They are snatching people off the street and sending them away to brutal prisons in foreign lands with zero due process - and they won't even bring them back when they realize a mistake was made. That's frightening stuff for any American who actually loves their country. #StopTrumpsTerror

Some leftists need to grasp that when far right voters tell pollsters they want mass deportations and also wealth redistribution, that's not two separate parts of their brain talking. They're not secret socialists who are just kidding about the racism. They want economic benefits *for whites only*.

Can we stop calling these atrocities "deportations." These people sold to El Salvadorian prisons were not deported. Deportation is a process that did not take place. They were rounded up and removed with no process. They were kidnapped, not deported.

It’s a recalibration of economic control. Oligarchs don’t live paycheck to paycheck. They have the capital to buy market dips and recoup faster, acquiring more assets at fire sale prices along the way. When the dust finally settles, they will own more. The rest of us will own less. A lot less.

It’s human nature to have certain biases, and to be influenced by the country or religion or political orientation you’ve grown up with. Journalists are not immune from that influence. Truth be told, there has never been a totally neutral media. I wish we had more factual and consistent reporting.

This election won’t be your typical left/centre/right battle. It’s between Canada and Poilievre’s alt-right Cons. Liberals, NDPers & Progressive Conservatives, our true traditional parties, are all joining with Carney’s Liberals to fight the existential threat of Poilievre.
