"The most fundamental, obvious fact about a military is that it is for fighting and winning wars. And the great paradox of defence is that the better our military is at doing so, the less likely it will have to. And that makes all of us safer."

The Cost of Trump’s Politicization of the Military

They’ve crossed one line after another since January - and we must not become numb to the mounting damage to our military and national security.

Shock and cray cray are entertainment. (in part I blame “reality” tv) The line is so blurred those individuals don’t really care to make the effort to see the difference.

How insecure his ilk are. They feel the need to push others down in order to make themselves feel better. Not a man, a #manbaby

There is nothing healthy and constructive about the current administration. They’re all like angry toddlers with hammers.

You can get the sense with a few of them that they’re not as well practiced at it. I hope that means there’s some humanity left in them.
I don’t believe he ever had it in the first place.

“Do you support repealing Obamacare and what's your health care plan?

🇨🇦Canada’s extreme “conservatives” are not unlike those in the U.S. They are greed and power driven. They hate the same demographics of people. They’re using the same handbook. They’re chipping away at human rights. We can’t be smug and assume it couldn’t possibly happen here.

I'm not giving Trump credit "where credit is due" for this because....
1. He doesn't do anything unless it benefits him personally. (He's got future real estate deals in Gaza.)
2. He watched the genocide in Gaza by Israel & did zero.

NOW after the suffering & dying.....he pretends to care?

🇨🇦Tomorrow is the Canadian Thanksgiving. As part of the celebration we drag out Halloween 🎃 decorations and buy whole great big bunches of candy🍭🍬 that we have to sample to make sure they’re ok. Then there is the obligatory food coma that takes up the rest of the evening. Party on!
