seems like we are inching our way closer to another Kent State momentā¦only on a bigger scale. when that happens, a Rubicon will have been crossed. have a gut feeling that this USA isnāt going make it through 4 years of this chaos.

Harvard might begin the process of opening a Canadian extension campus? Initially for foreign students & possibly the Kennedy School of Government. Eastern Canadian metropolitan areas are not far from Cambridge. What a delicious way for PM Carney (Harvard grad), to thwart TACO POTUS!

perhaps Harvard should consider the option of opening an extension campus for itās foreign students (also Kennedy School of Gov.), in šØš¦? only 1.5 hr flight from say Montreal to Boston. easy commute for faculty. would think šØš¦ would welcome the economic boost. isnāt the PM
Carey an Harvard alumni?

perhaps a better Harvard play would be a foreign student extension campus in šØš¦. while at it, move the Kennedy School
of Govāt north too. isnāt the šØš¦ PM a
Harvard grad? w/Harvardās endowment & some financial aid from the šØš¦ Gov., very possible. close enough for faculty to commute. what a coup for šØš¦!

the line in the sand moment? likely another Kent State moment on a larger scale or
in multiple places. it will be the Rubicon crossover that sets off an explosion.

perhaps time for Harvard to open an extension campus in eastern Canada for nonU.S. students. iām betting Canada might welcome the economic opportunities that MAGA fascists seem to spurn. close enough to Massachusetts for faculty to rotate. put that endowment to good use. isnāt PM Carey an alumni?

at some point, the only recourse will likely involve blood running in American streets.

itās more sinister. theRump is crashing the economy in order to have an excuse to suspend the Constitution & declare martial law.

remember *The Troubles* of N. Ireland? could very well look a lot like that. targeted assassinations, kidnappings & bombings. loss of civil liberties & martial law. doubt it lasts 30yrs. likely economy collapses quickly followed by the union itself. if he isnāt stopped soonā¦itās game over.

thought Trumpās 2016 win was a fluke. America was too easily conned. however, 2024 was deliberate. didnāt expect it or understand the why. then it hit me. corruption, brutality, chaos is what his supporters want. now i want it. the sooner the U.S. fails, the sooner we build back better. ā¬ļø

at the Missoula MT Sanders/AOC rally, saw a guy wearing a sweatshirt with the wordsā¦*Gulf of Mexico* arched across the front. got to get me one!

thatās pretty much a spot on prediction, except maybe for the time line. maintaining democratic sovereignty may entail leaving the one union and establishing another?

almost certain MAGA wonāt be nearly as cheerful next year at this time.

so Trump saved 75% of the U.S. population from deaths that would have occurred in the last 100 daysā¦if he had not done what exactly? please tell me we arenāt buying this hogwash!

Amazon (every online retailer), should include the tariff amount in their billing statement, just donāt label it. kind of like the smell of šš© when you get in your house or car. donāt have to see it to know youāve stepped in it!

also no plan to improve trade relations. *90 new trade deals in 90 days?* please! historically, the average time to negotiate a trade agreement - 18 months, time to fully implement - 45 months. the meaning? a recession for sureā¦if we are lucky. likely far worse.

what the Trump admin., is doing; breaking Govt. agencies, defying court orders, rounding up folks on bogus charges, attacking journalism, sacking ādisloyalā senior military officersā¦all hallmarks of a fascist takeover. hyperbolic? not according to š©šŖ media. canāt fool a people who have the history.

a good German friend texted me today. German news media has determined the U.S. Federal Government has tipped into fascism and that Americans need to acknowledge this fact. if any nation can tell us when a nation goes fascistā¦itās Deutschland!

fully expect these protests to expand exponentially. then he will have to call out the troops. Kent State is coming, just on a much larger scale.
