Sure would be great though if just one of those 'world leaders' had enough courage & morality to actually stand up to Trump and tell him to go f*** himself.

But we'll never see that from any of these 'leaders.' Just ass kissing, brown nosing sycophants and supplicants.

Cowards the lot of them.

Media manufacturing consent for the powers that be. Somebody should write a book about it.

A masterpiece of filmmaking, probably Mann's greatest film. And incredibly, a big criticism of the film (released 1999) was it overplayed the threats corporate ownership and the power of money had over news.

This entire situation constantly has me remembering Michael Mann's phenomenal "The Insider." I don't know how to clip scenes for BlueSky, but the video at 7:35 where Mike Wallace shamefully talks about CBS destroying the legacy of Edward R. Murrow seems prophetic.

Boy it would be great if when other political parties are in power in Ontario (like the LIBs were from 2003 -1018) that they had done something about the draconian, antiquated laws that essentially give the Premier and provincial government almost unlimited power over cities and municipalities.

I wasn't necessarily posting it because I believe in sympathy for any Americans, more so that it's a bad way of encouraging someone to look at an issue.

I'm a firm believer that all Americans can basically go fuck themselves. I don't give a shit who they voted for.

Considering that most countries & people have for decades listed the United States as the 'enemy' and biggest threat it's about time Canadians had their eyes opened and joined with most everyone else in recognizing how evil America is(and has always been.)

Wouldn't it have been great if Canadian media hadn't been platforming Manning ever since 2002 when he lost his seat in the Federal election. Instead the MSM has been his willing sycophant & partner, giving him a ready platform to promote his craziness for 2+ decades.

Every time I see someone congratulate, venerate, praise or support the 'Royal' family & the monarchy I wonder if they have the ability for rational thought and it confirms they lack any basic human decency.
