… early in 2029. I’m not sure who is in a position to stop him at this point. Even if the Democrats win the midterms in a landslide, Trump is still the president. He has two years to position his forces. He will be the president until January 20, 2029 regardless of who wins the next presidency.

…to avoid masked federal goons at home and the wrath of America’s economic might abroad? It was already frightening. Now it’s becoming terrifying as it’s confirmed that Trump‘s enablers will appease even the worst of his impulses. I’m truly shocked and fully believe that we will see a Trump coup…

…International Criminal Court. So Rubio announced sanctions on the ICC…in RETALIATION! This is Kim Jong Un level crazy. But people do what HE wants because they’ll literally be killed (along with their family) if they refuse. Trump’s sycophants do it because…I don’t KNOW WHY. It’s sheer insanity!

🇨🇦 I’ve given up. I kept waiting for Trump’s sycophants to say “enough”. But clearly there’s just no line they won’t cross. Today when Trump found out he did not win (did he seriously think he COULD?) the Nobel Peace Prize, he had Marco Rubio debase himself. The winner is a former Justice with the…

🇨🇦 This just keeps getting more surreal. The US sanctions the International Criminal Court the day after Trump doesn’t win the Peace Prize.

🇨🇦 Oh, my God! America has gone completely INSANE. They’re sanctioning the International Criminal Court because Trump didn’t win the Nobel Peace Prize? This is out of a bad, dystopian movie. Seriously. What the F*CK?! There’s a general strike in France over schools! Americans are OK with THIS?!!

🇨🇦 Remember when your country was a democracy? Canada legalized weed NATIONALLY in 2018. Same sex marriage? Legalized in 2005. Abortion? Therapeutic in 1969. Fully legalized in 1988. And we never changed our minds on abortion. WTF is that about? Self righteous Christian Nationalist hypocrites!
