That's because you don't understand it. The procedure ensures adherence to a rules based process.

tRump & his henchmen don't recognize the importance of women in history. They want to MAGA... when women were chattel.

Ask Americans how they like living under fascism. I'll take small "L" liberalism any day over that shit.

A company just launched the first US pilot of a new 🌊 #wave-energy system that uses floating panels ⚙️ in a harbor ⚓ to turn ocean motion into clean #electricity ⚡💡. It keeps working even when the sun’s down 🌅 or the wind’s still 🌬️.

New type of cutting-edge renewable energy launches first project in the U.S.

Wave energy offers balanced electricity for grids. It can smooth the bumps caused by clouds over solar farms and lulls in local winds.

Saudi Arabia, Brunei, Oman, Eswatini, & Vatican City are examples of full monarchies. Japan, UK, Spain, Norway, Netherlands, Sweden, Belgium, Denmark, & Canada our constitutional monarchies. See the difference?

You seem to be confusing a full monarchy with a constitutional monarchy. Canada is a constitutional monarchy, as is the UK.

We don't have a "monarchy" in the true sense of the word. We are not ruled by a king or queen. Our "monarchy" is strictly symbolic, and without power. They just ensure the rules are followed. We are considered a social democracy.

The fascist movement is global & Canada isn't immune. Had tRump not threatened to make us the 51st state we likely would've been consumed. That seemed to awaken the sleeping Canucks. We were fortunate that Mark Carney stepped forward. FYI, Steven Harper is still active. www.idu.org/about/leader...

We had the Harper era but our Supreme Court saved us from his clutches & upheld our Charter of Rights & Freedoms. As well thousands of activists worked hard behind the scenes to crush his government & fire the liars. PP conducted years long propaganda campaign to garner hate against Trudeau.

Yesavage is starting tomorrow. Now there is a young man that has a lot of promise.

Exactly. The Magna Carta initiated a change in the role of monarchy. Now, they maintain a symbolic role and yet is because of the structural system that is created that protects us from an authoritarian rule. Here's a simple explanation.

This will explain it for you. Even in the UK, the king is strictly symbolic and doesn't have any political power. Although their role prevents the actual takeover of a king, dictator, or authoritarian.

By labeling Antifa a terrorist group, Trump will justify firearm seizures through "domestic threat" framing by using prosecutions, red-flag orders, & forfeiture laws to disarm individuals linked to the label, while avoiding direct mass confiscation that would trigger MAGA backlash.

This is the third U.S. Attorney found to be unlawfully appointed. The other two are Sigal Chattah and Alina Habba. Their indictments stand because they were signed by other prosecutors. Not true for Lindsey Halligan.
