*perfection*
“Behold. The festering carcass of American rot shoved into an ill-fitting suit: the sleaze of a conman, the cowardice of a draft dodger, the gluttony of a parasite, the racism of a Klansman, the sexism of a back-alley creep, the ignorance of a bar-stool drunk, and the greed of a hedge-fund ghoul - all spray-painted orange and paraded like a prize hog at a county fair. Not a president. Not even a man. Just the diseased distillation of everything this country swears it isn't but always has been - arrogance dressed up as exceptionalism, stupidity passed off as common sense, cruelty sold as toughness, greed exalted as ambition, and corruption worshipped like gospel. It is America's shadow made flesh, a rotting pumpkin idol proving that when a nation kneels before money, power, and spite, it doesn't just lose its soul - it shits out this bloated obscenity and calls it a leader.” ― Oliver Kornetzke

I expected them to admit to the follow-on strike [which, AT SEA, is a WAR CRIME], but figured they'd just throw Pete under the bus. By officially defending the action, the administration just tethered itself to an increasingly damning scandal. Then again, these people ARE imbeciles, so that tracks.

I have never understood what it is that motivates people to put noisy mufflers on their cars, trucks, motorcycles... Do they just need attention?

There are many here in Washington who want us to think that America is hopelessly divided. I refuse to accept that. There is more that unites us than divides us, any day of the week. And we can’t be intimidated out of advocating for the country we all love.

Leadership climate is set at the top. So, when President Trump calls for me to be killed and hanged, many people take that as license to call into my office and say even worse. youtube.com/shorts/4rP7Y...

It’s time to build big again.

That’s why we’re making it easier to build major infrastructure projects across Canada — to transform our economy, connect our country, and create thousands of new careers.

The Conservative "Multiverse" Attack on Canada
At a time when global instability is rising, you would think that it would be patently obvious that Canada’s longstanding tradition of international engagement matters more than ever.

Just hope it is not too late already. Our media is already US owned.

Conservatives are coming for Canada, like they did in America. Protect your media at all costs! Once they get a toehold in media their propaganda will infect all other media outlets.
