Maybe Canada should offer Trump a bribe. He seems to be up for it.

Justice Samuel Alito said. “The practical problem is that there are 680 district court judges … and all Article III judges are vulnerable to an occupational disease, which is the disease of thinking that ‘I am right and I can do whatever I want.’” I don’t think he gets the irony.

How does one negotiate trumped (I acknowledge the pun) up fantasy grievances? By offering fantasy compromises?

It’s been said that 75% of those deported to CECOT had no criminal record. By my calculations that’s 177 Abrego Garcias. The press is obsessing over only one.

The harm the Trump administration is doing to Canada is nothing compared to what it is doing to America.

We are told that Trump wants Canada to live up to our NATO commitments while, at the same time, he welshes on the U.S. Paris commitment.

Republican politicians should stop defending the Trump administration before the hypocrisy kills them.

Republicans, when confronted with Trumps reprehensible pardons of J6 criminals, all seem to fall back to whataboutism as their only justification. What about BLM? They say. But if they think treatment of BLM rioters was bad then they must, to be consistent, also condemn Trumps actions.

Reading Parable of the Talents now by Octavia E Butler. Found this passage relevant to our times. Actually this entire book is relevant to our dystopian reality. #booksky #booktok

The pundits want us to take comfort that Trump will enter office as a convicted felon. Thin gruel.

Useful chart from Bloomberg. Trump says bilateral deficit with Canada means we're subsidizing them. But more than all the imbalance is energy. This means they send us oil & gas, we send them IOUs. This is a subsidy?

MAGA should empathize with the New Orleans killer. An American seduced by an ideology into committing a terrorist act. Just like they did.

As a Canadian I am willing to pay taxes to beef up border security to prevent illegal immigration and gun and drug imports from the USA. I am not prepared to finance the reverse flow. That’s the job of the USA.

I keep hearing that Democrats need to communicate better. Does that mean they need to lie more, fabricate strawman terrors, vilify innocents? That’s what worked for Republicans.
