I don't get it. I really don't. Are you dems SO PARTY HAPPY that you completely ignore what is being shown to your faces? The corruption, the bribes, the thefts, the stealing of OUR TAX MONEY that goes to bullshit stuff that is wasted but isn't really because its been laundered right back into corrupt Dem bank accounts. Are y'all that wealthy that you don't fucking care? Really? Whatever the fuck Trump supposedly did...true or not...does not compare to the damage the deep state has done to all americans, regardless of party. DOES NOT COMPARE. What he did, or didn't do, did not hurt OUR pocketbooks. Nope. But I guess y'all don't care it dips in YOURS.

It flat out amazes me.

nothing is ‘being shown to my face”. X and the right wing noise machine are full of unsupported allegations about alleged Biden corruption. No evidence s offered to support these claims, and no investigations are underway.

You can’t even define “deep state”. It’s nothing more than a stick figure, a slogan that you can shout. You don’t know what it is. Who is in it. you can’t describe any part of it, other than the empty generalizations that pass for facts for the low information parochial crowd.

it’s always important to the far right ot be able to shout about thing like “deep state”. They have no substance, no meaning. ‘Deep state” is an imaginary all knowing, all seeing, all powerful, yet invisible global conspiracy, the believers can’t name the conspirators (although the Jew banker, Soros plays the Goyem for this crowd).

“Deep state” changes names periodically in the parochial right wing mind. But the invisible, all seeing, all powerful, all knowing< invisible (and thus imaginary) as[ects don’t ever change.

It’s nothing more than a simple fable for simple minds to embrace as an “explanation” for a world they don’t understand and are too lazy to learn about.

Sorry that Trump is tearing down your world Timmy, but you better get used to the new reality.

Yes, Trump is staging a frontal assault on the idea of US world leadership.

He has been dithering over wether or not to continue supporting Russia.

Otherwise, he has continued his practice of attacking our long standing allies, and sucking up to or rivals.

Although, I’m the wake of Trump’s latest unprovoked trade wars, Xi, whose Teump is anxious to flatter, is not taking his calls.

The rest of the world, which has NOT be subjected to billionaire owned, racist, xenophobic, lying right wing media poisoning their minds for the past 40 years, cannot believe you elected the sleazy old carnival barker the first time, let alone went back for seconds.

From Adrian Clarkson, our 26th Governor General Of Canada:

Under Trump, the rules of the game have completely changed
ADRIENNE CLARKSON
CONTRIBUTED TO THE GLOBE AND MAIL
(Adrienne Clarkson was Canada’s 26th governor-general and co-founder of the Institute for Canadian Citizenship. This text is adapted from her Massey College speech last month for the Clarkson Laureateships.)

Let’s face it: the rules of the game have changed. The election of Donald Trump means we are now in a world whose rules we never imagined could be broken so quickly and so arbitrarily. When I watch the Rorschach blobs of orange and yellow that signify the image of the current President of the United States, I diagnose him with logorrhea – he cannot start talking without continuing to talk – and talk – and talk. The moment he sees a microphone, he has to talk. On inauguration day, this 78-year-old man continued nonstop, from microphone to microphone, with his incoherent ramblings.

At times, I see hope in his condition because he obviously doesn’t know what he’s saying most of the time. However, the people who he has put in power and who are interpreting his instructions are very frightening. He has been democratically given the authority to try anything. He can call the Prime Minister of Denmark and try to buy Greenland. He can rename the Gulf of Mexico and announce that he will take back the Panama Canal.
We watch Mr. Trump’s breakneck hurtling down the airless passage of monomania. We cannot escape it without cutting ourselves off from the reality of everything that is around us.

Sometimes listening to Mr. Trump reminds you of your funny old uncle Bert who you go to visit with your mother twice a year at his retirement home. He raves on about “those people they let in” whenever he’s not complaining about how the scrambled eggs are overcooked. But this person is not uncle Bert – he is the President of the United States, the most powerful country in the world. We cannot pretend that everything is normal. We should not hope that this too will pass.

The second term of Donald Trump means that we in Canada have to be even more watchful, careful and clever in our reactions to his actions. We have to overcome our disbelief and suspend our feelings. It has really happened.

Recently visiting the University of Tübingen in Germany, I learned that in 1931 they fired their only Jewish professor – two years before Hitler came to power. A combination of disbelief and passivity make a dangerous cocktail in the face of unscrupulous domination. We must beware of what Timothy Snyder warns of in his book On Tyranny. It is called “anticipatory obedience” or “vorauseilender Gehorsam” in German. Hitler and the Nazis benefited from it. It is a resonant and depressing fact that most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given in times like these, in moments of historical apprehension.
So, what are we to do as Canadians in our professions and our personal lives? The most important factor is that we are all Canadians and we have to behave like Canadians. We all have to brush up on our history and realize that we live in one of the oldest continuous democracies. John Ralston Saul, who wrote the biography of Robert Baldwin and the reformers of 1848 in Upper Canada, has been saying this for a long time, but it is necessary to keep emphasizing it. Because it is true. We have had in our history no civil war, no rewriting of the Constitution. We have had a continuous democracy since 1848. We must treasure that. We must protect it.

What we have to do is to continue to believe in the project that is Canada, and which has despite so many difficulties and challenges remained the Canada that we know: bilingual, based on the Magna Carta, and parliamentary democracy. A Canada that has a Charter of Rights and Freedoms and a Canada that is bilingual in French and English. These are things that do not need to be changed; these are things that are valuable; these are things that make us Canadian.

We are going to be constantly challenged and threatened. We must continue doing things for others. We must continue to be a welcoming nation. We must continue our path of reconciliation with Indigenous people. We must continue these things because we know that’s the right thing to do. We must continue to do them because it makes us more human to do them. Canadians can only try to mitigate whatever evils there are in the world, even if they come from our closest neighbour with whom we share an unguarded border.

We must always remember the words of the great reformer Joseph Howe who, in 1835, posed the most important Canadian questions: “What is right? What is just? What is for the public good?”

If what I’m saying is a conspiracy theory, then explain these frontal assault against our Allie’s by your beloved fuhrer:

-unilaterally starting unprovoked trade wars against Canada and Mexico (and then just as abruptly withdrawing them)
-demanding that other NATO nations up their military spending per gdp to a higher level than the U.S.
-destroying USAID
-proposing the US military occupation of Gaza
-threatening to invade Panama
-calling for the US to take over Canada
-bullying about buying or just taking over Greenland.

Now, if this was some crackpot right wing podcaster or X influencer, it wouldn’t matter.

But this is the Trump foreign policy show in three weeks.

Manifestly buffoonish, totally stupid, and all making it clear to every world leader in business or politics, that Trump is not a serious person. He has to be carefully watched because of the office he holds (but does not take seriously). But he can’t be taken at his word, trusted or relied upon.

This is a guy who begs to be robbed. Putin has known that for years.

Trump is playing to his domestic parochial audience.

He can strike out at targets that don’t cost him anything, other than respect or trust.

But the sheep cheer.

Then there are a couple of days of media and social media handwringing and attacks, and the. He moves on to his next gimmick.

And the cycle repeats itself.

That is what Trump does. It’s his conspiracy theory.

You are playing to your parochial leftist groupies.

What trade war? A firm hand was needed to convince Canada and Mexico that assisting illegal immigration to the US had to stop. They needed and received a slap on the forehead.

When did Trump ever threaten to invade Panama?

You spend way too much time binge watching the Joy Reid Clown Show.

Let go of your silly conspiracy theories.

Trying to project the word “parochial” on informed people is childish and laughable.

You’re already trying to pretend that what your fuhrer did two weeks ago didn’t happen.

There was no illegal crisis with Canada. That was the tissue thin excuse Trump made up.

“When did Trump ever threaten to invade Panama?

Facing Threat Of U.S. Invasion, A Deal Is Panama’s Best Defense

With few options and time running out, a deal may prove to be Panama's best defense. The cost of occupying the canal may make U.S. taxpayers consider other options.

www.forbes.com

And there are few people more parochial than the fools who cheer for this cofeve and then try and pretend it never happened two weeks later.

Oh, you can brag and repeat the Trump claims that he got something out of it. But all he actually got were some meaningless declarations.

It is the exact pattern as it was with z Kim Jung Un in 2017.

But then Trump was flattering an unstable dictator he was afraid of.

This time he was just pushing your buttons by bullying our allies.

Neither Canada nor Mexico are "assisting illegal immigration" into the USA.

None of these people are breaking any of OUR laws, and we don't arrest people in Canada, just for being black, brown or poor, like you do.

It also violates our Constitution to racially profile people and interfere with their movements. They're not in OUR country illegally.

Yes, a firm hand slapped down your fat old dotard, and told him to "Cut it out". Trump, like the cowardly bully he is, immediately backed down, just like the last time he tried to bully Trudeau over masks and PPE.

Trump banned shipments of masks to Canada on Friday afternoon. And on Monday morning 3M shipped the masks to Canada. Not the date April 3rd for the ban, April 6th for the shipments.

https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/3m-n95-masks-1.5520326

After Trump bans mask exports, "infuriated" Canadians remind U.S. they helped during 9/11

"We will not hesitate for one second if we had to repeat what we did on 9/11. We would do it again," one Canadian official said.

Trump and 3M reach deal to allow N95 face masks to be exported to Canada

US officials had stopped shipment at 3M factory after Trump invoked Defense Production Act to halt exports to Canada and beyond

Your idiot President is gonna sign an Executive Order calling Trudeau a poopy pants, just like he did Biden and Obama.

What a joke.

Nobody laughed at Biden. He wasn’t a ridiculous, arrogant, buffoon like Trump.

The rest of the world doesn’t give a rats ass about your student debt. If you want to keep college graduates in their parents basement until you’re 40 years old and passed childbearing years, paying off their student loans, have at it. The rest of the first world is working on getting their workforce the best education possible. Denmark has free university education.

But they do care about putting an authoritarian wannabe in the White House who is destroying your economy, attacking you allies, and threatening the world.

Keep shooting yourself in the foot. Nobody is going to invest in the country run by a crazy man like Trump. Business needs stability and sanity. Trump offers neither.

This is why all of his companies have failed, and he’s lost billions. Reckless and irresponsible, as well as a fiscal moron.

7 business bankruptcies and counting - a world record.

Perhaps the courses students took had no bearing on employment available and the costs of college have become ludicrous.
