Canada’s Prime Minister Mark Carney is my HERO. He shut down Trump’s usual rambling blame session at the G7 meeting in Canada today.

Don’t rollover & sell our freedom for a short timeout. Peaceful oppression is a fantasy. Oppression requires the constant threat of violence, suffering & pain.

A larger percentage than many will admit are more afraid of diversity than dictatorship. "Other" people, sadly, scare a lot of "us." We have to get over it before we destroy each other.

Did Ms Garcia sleep through the first Trump fiasco? Did she miss the Trump admin's treatment of border crossers? Did she not hear Trump's 2024 campaign rhetoric about deporting millions if elected? Now she says, "this is not what we voted for." This is exactly what you voted for.

The scary part is her desire to kill Central Asians living in Russia. Putin's hyper NATIONALISM is leading many Russians to extreme ethnic hatred. It's the rationale Putin believes will allow his war in Ukraine to continue. Radical nationalism can backfire & kill many more than soldiers & Putin.

I'm amazed that a Republican Senator would properly question Trump's "advisor" Lutnick. I'm not surprised that Trump & the four people, including Lutnick, who came up with the Tariff Policy have no clue what they are seeking.

More examples of Trump failing to see the cascading effects of his tariffs. If he could plan ahead he might have seen that China could halt rare-earth due to his tariffs. But, unlike most world leaders he can't play 3-D chess or even regular chess. He's playing checkers & getting his ass kicked.

Once Trump is gone from the White House there will be one hell of a clawback of all the money he stole as President. And if TacoMan isn't around, we'll get it from his scummy kids. There will be a day of reckoning.

Keep this post, mount it on a plaque & put it in the appropriate Smithsonian museum. Why? Because one day in the future someone will ask, "just how stupid was Trump?" Instead of going through thousands of pages of research we can show them this post. And they will know the true depth of stupidity.

It's not just the American ruling class. It also benefitted all American consumers & anyone who has an IRA or 401(k). As a group, Americans traded US manufacturing jobs with a livable wage for cheaper products & higher stock prices & dividends.

If AI developers are aiming to fulfill our need for 12 more "friends," what will happen to our three human relationships? Will we lose those relationships? My experience with AI "friends" is that they agree with everything I say. Will our future "friends" become just "yes" men & women?

Obama, like Presidents before him observed the Justice Dept's required INDEPENDENCE from politics. Trump uses DOJ, under AG Pam Bondi, to carry out his political policies. Congress can & must investigate this misconduct & cut DOJ's funding for these inappropriate activities.

Trump's three-story penthouse apartment at the top of Trump Tower in Manhattan was covered with gold. Trump has never experienced anything but incredible wealth. Yet, he has no problem telling Americans, of all income levels, that they can do with less.

Trump's reasoning for using the Alien Enemies Act to speed up deportations of Venezuelans by saying they're an "invasion or threat." But the Act was meant to be used ONLY during a war & is not meant for normal immigration enforcement.

I actually think he's gotten much worse. But that's really the story of his life. He started out rich with Daddy's money & the skills to be a slum lord & now all he can do is scream at our allies, destroy our economy & try to kill Democracy. (Which we won't ever let him do!)

Are Trump's nominees for gov't positions the same people he pardoned for Jan6? They could be because I've never seen this many scumbags in the Capitol Building since then. Also, every single Dem Senator better vote no on this guy or JUST RETIRE NOW!!!. Hopefully a few GOP Sens will also vote NO.

Putin has increased troops on the Russian/Finnish border & he wants the Baltic states "back." If the war in Ukraine continues to be a stalemate, look for Putin to keep his military economy busy & divert Russian's attention by attacking Finland, the Baltic States or both. Oh, and all are in NATO.

IMO this is one more example of the Trump admin INTIMIDATING a company's legal business operations. When WH speaker Leavitt called this a "hostile & political" act it was an implied threat to Amazon that this act could bring future problems with gov't agencies under Trump's control.

Amazon floated an idea to list tariff costs on the price of each product in its low-cost Haul unit. WH responded calling it a "hostile & political act." Amazon instantly dropped the idea. Amazon was trying to understand the unwritten "rules" for this WH & its vague tariffs.

Trump feels most countries "rip off" America. He & his Econ Advisers are pro-tariff. CommSec Lutnick said they'll bring back manufacturing jobs, but may start Recession. Bessent said there may be a "one-time price adjustment." Trump's fine with this, but misjudged financial markets' reactions.

Does anyone really think they'll ever be US military planes loaded full of handcuffed Legal Immigrants, sitting side by side in white outfits, on their way back to Europe?? Even if our country becomes a much worse dystopian nightmare, those planes will still be flying south.

Whoever Trump said he would "help" once in power was a lie. He only wanted your vote. He does not give a crap about you or your family or anyone else. Everything he says is a lie. But you fell for it & now you, me & most of our country have to deal with the consequences of your insane belief in him.

Impartial Trump: Putin wants peace, but Zelensky's making things hard. He wants Crimea & Eastern Ukraine back & to be backed up by European troops. Putin only wants to stay where he is now, rebuild his military & attack Ukraine again in a few years. But Zelensky's not so nice & wouldn't have it.

The lady in the white jacket & black blouse on Trump's back left side is Chief-of-Staff, Susie Wiles. She's behind Trump's fairly organized reelection campaign & has kept the WH as organized as it's been. Trump hold's her in high regard, but her & her organizing skills are leaving after 6 months!!

Leaders who implement policies somewhere between staggeringly stupid to utterly dreadful have often revealed their intentions before gaining power (eg, Hitler, Mao.) Yet why do so many followers continue to ignore these advance warnings? I have to believe they're engaging in selective attention.

ICE's "grab the 'gangster'" games lack due process. ICE flies the 'gangsters' to El Salvador fast because there's been no legal process to prove a crime. Once in Salvador, Trump says it's out of his hands. States must file criminal complaints against ICE agents who took part in these criminal acts.
