Here are the grown “kids”. That one guy looks late 40’s. These are the Hitler lovers.

Vermont state senator Sam Douglass. Bland white guy with glasses and beard. Brown hair.

Man in poorly fitting dark suit with glasses and dark hair. Yes he’s white. William Hendrix who is the communications assistant to vile Kris Kobach, Kansas AG.

Bobby Walker, dark hair and dressed exactly like trump. Not a kid at all. He’s vice chair of New York State young republicans. I guess young means under 50.

Peter Giunta looks like he’s in his 40’s. I don’t know his age. Also dressed like trump in an ill-fitting suit. He has one of the worst combovers I’ve ever seen. Beard and mustache. He’s the chair of the NY state young republicans. He looks like the type of guy that looks through your windows at night.

I have zero desire to cement any deal with this untrustworthy fascist.

I get Carney needs to protect CUSMA. It’s helping stabilize our economy.

But my preference would be to drag things out as long as possible.

Trump era will end. One day. We need to ensure we aren’t tied to blackmail deals.

All of this is happening because of Trump. We Canadians must do everything we can to strengthen Canada. Support everything that is made in Canada. Stop supporting US by travelling to US. Stop buying anything at all made in US.

And include Stellantis in that list as well.

Protesters in Portland showing up in costume embody joy as resistance. If those who oppress us can be absurd, so can those fighting for freedom. Humor and creativity remind us that rebellion isn’t only anger—it’s the courage to laugh, to dance, and to exist loudly in the face of control. #Pinks

Trump has no legal authority, "standing" or otherwise, to order the killing of people in international waters for unsubstantiated accusations of non-capital crimes.

Calling them "narcoterrorists" does not make it right or legal to order their deaths without any due process.

Trump announces another strike "just off the Coast of Venezuela" that killed 6 people

Under my Standing Authorities as Commander-in-Chief, this morning, the Secretary of War, ordered a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel affiliated with a Designated Terrorist Organization (DTO) conducting narcotrafficking in the USSOUTHCOM area of responsibility — just off the Coast of Venezuela. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was trafficking narcotics, was associated with illicit narcoterrorist networks, and was transiting along a known DTO route. The strike was conducted in International Waters, and six male narcoterrorists aboard the vessel were killed in the strike. No U.S. Forces were harmed. Thank you for your attention to this matter!!!!!!

Again:

It was never about “economic anxiety” or young people’s concerns about cost of living. They liked the hate. They wanted to chaos.

There is no “messaging” that will sway these voters to embrace liberal agenda.
