Jeff you touched a very important point concerning Canada and the ginning up for a conflict/war. The latest from Malcolm Nance finishes your argument. What we are seeing our King do is virtually the same as Putin’s Russia prior to the war in Ukraine. Namely.. 1. Denigrate the opposition by claiming they are not a real country 2. Citizens of Ukraine are citizens of Russia. 3 Conspiracies concerning Ukraine such as Z and his family are stealing aid and making themselves wealthy. 4 Economic sanctions/tariffs to squeeze the opposition country. Our King is merely taking the advice of Putin/Orban on the mechanics of taking over another country. Nance stated that Greenland will be the first to be invaded then Canada..

I am so sorry. To Canadians, Europeans, Ukrainians, Palestinians, the earth itself. What is being done in the names of every one of us who lives in the US is horrifying and humiliating.

US in spotlight at the moment, but human activity and national policies everywhere in every nation are downright suicidal - a. special humiliation for the US which held itself up as ye olde shining beacon

I swear it’s all bluster it won’t happen. I didn’t even take the clas at the crime University which by the way he should have been put away for.

Did you read my comment to Malcolm's post? If you know any currently serving military or members of the National Guard, remind them of what happened to previous military personnel in Afghanistan and Iraq (or if you want to go back to prehistory, Vietnam). These will be illegal wars of aggression and I speak with some authority on this, since my congresswoman, Barbara Lee, was the ONLY congressperson to vote AGAINST the AUMF in October 2001. None of the rest of you had congresspeople who understood what was going on or had the courage to stand up against bush. Don't laugh about Berkeley. We're 20 years ahead of the rest of the country. Sorry about my hostility...I just can't help myself about the state of the nation.

Here’s something gnawing at me, could you possibly find more safe places to start fake trade wars and pain including totally innocent population of people minding there own damn business? Canada and Mexico only have done good things for us especially our economy. It’s all about nothing and tramp gets to play bully, sewer clown bully. Consistent show biz crap but he gets that attention even from me as I fume this morning, hate is ugly and circular.

Remember the old saying, "Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me?" which was too complex for W Bush to recite accurately? Well, what will it take for even regular Repub voters who aren't necessarily MAGA, to get it that not only Donny Convict but the entire party does nothing but lie? Incessantly lie? Fool you how many times, rubes?

In cults, there will be one triggering event or statement that will cause the cult member to wake up. Because there are millions of them, it will take hundreds of events. But it all adds up, so there is hope.

Hassett reminds me of every creepy, perverted, psychopath I've ever seen on the screen. His maleficent grin is too much and makes my skin crawl. He lies so casually that it's scary and he fits right in with the rest of the Trump administration of deceit and treachery.
