Irony. Hypocrisy.
Double standard.

How much evidence has to pile up before we take seriously and discuss the notion that Trump is a Russian asset?

You would have a much more positive reception and achieve better results if visiting under the Canadian🇨🇦 umbrella… at least for the foreseeable future.

Heres a fun website… over 600,000 votes cast so far! Page is getting a bit slow. I think it works better if you open it in an external browser.
Vote to have your state join Canada.

According to the “possible” 2028 secession question on the ballot, the motion is considered passed if 50% of voters cast votes, and 55% of those votes are to secede.

Time to show 🍊🤡 the door in Europe . He has no intention of negotiating in good faith on behalf of Ukraine and Europe. His opinion on Ukraine needs to be made irrelevant. Any agreement he makes with his pal in the kremlin is null and void.

Big pharma can easily invest $1B to develop a safe and effective drug. Sometimes they invest $1B only to find it’s not effective. They finance those investments by selling the drugs that work. If we want to bring the costs down, there needs to be other ways to compensate those investments.

You’re right! A good example of how important punctuation is.
The part starting with: “Most” was a continuation of my own thoughts and observations. Not being able to edit posts is understandable, but unfortunate.

I guess I should mention this web site… over half a million Americans have voted for a state of their choice to join Canada!

Plus two senators for each province and territory = 26 … hypothetically speaking. Anyway, it’s ridiculous. We don’t want 10x the crime rate. The US will never fix the 2nd amendment as it is, which is why states joining Canada or US splitting up makes more sense.

Also, to get a feel for the support, in BlueSky, search: “California join Canada”, “Canada adopt California”. Similarly with Washington, Oregon, Minnesota. Similarly on Threads if you’re there.
And check out this fun sales pitch for Minnesota to join Canada:

California has a referendum to secede in the pipeline for 2028 election.
Jan 2025 YouGov poll: 61% of Californians say California would be better off if it peacefully seceded. Most prefer independence, some think some level EU style integration with Canada would be good

1. Secede
2. Hold formal talks with Canada
3. Align social, legal, financial, political systems, etc.
4. Formalize union
- The EU is a good reference on how to merge new member states into the union
- EU is a good reference of workable, varying degrees of political and financial unification.
