i think it should be a bigger story that the president held a meeting with a foreign head of state where he ranted about the most gutter white supremacist propaganda you can find on the internet

The richest 0.1% of Americans control $22 trillion in wealth. The bottom 50% control $3.8 trillion in wealth. Read that back. Folks, this is what oligarchy looks like.

As Canada heads to the polls, let us remember: a polished speech and a tailored suit cannot conceal the looming shadow of extremism. Behind the mask of respectability, the specter of Trumpism waits to corrupt everything it touches.

The chaos is an essential part of the plan. But in all of the chaos, I don’t think people are appreciating how profoundly fucked up things are getting in the United States. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/25/u...

Harper the man Canada kicked to the curb is telling us to vote for Pierre Poilievre. The CPC and Harper are that abusive spouse who won't go away. Canada file a restraining order and elect a Liberal Majority. Send The CPC into the political wilderness. Mark Carney 2025.
