This is like Al Capone in his syphilis phase. Welcome to gangster America.
Nailed it!!

Since Trump is Capone, you are the Elliott Ness. Time for us to be deputized to defend democracy.

jimottawa.bsky.social•27 days ago

So true Charlie. How much Trump’s onslaught of change is driven by saturating the public and Congress with Executive actions vs. a combo of this and a rotting brain is anyone’s guess.

sablue52.bsky.social•27 days ago

Al Capone in his syphilis stage. That's just so, so, so f'ing great!!!

hippothoughtamus.bsky.social•27 days ago

The term "politics of assholism" perfectly describes the new US admin and congress.

"Like Al Capone in his syphilis phase" - love it

phcoco.bsky.social•27 days ago

Thanks for that excellent piece, Charlie. President Gustavo Petro showed the rest of the world how to deal with bullies. Wake up Canada. I’m personally willing to starve in the dark rather than cede to that unethical Trump and his cowardly henchmen in the Republican Party.

"It's more like Al Capone in his syphilis phase." Best quote of the day. Hands down.

I know right!

syphilis makes total sense, seriously

thejdf.bsky.social•27 days ago

Turns out his plan worked though, unfortunately

cdxx420.bsky.social•27 days ago

I'm sure you have seen his meme. We have to resist. He is insane.

Trump did has syphilis spots on his hands this past summer, which indicates he has untreated syphilis.

suzyannedavis.bsky.social•26 days ago

Ok. We need a Democratic presidential nominee NOW!! Trump was in our face 24/7 for almost a decade. We have to get our candidate out there on the same or higher level!!!!! No time to wait!!

Canadians: In case you need a chuckle. MAGAs think "Italian Roast" means the beans are grown in Italy.

vincefil.bsky.social•26 days ago

I prefer French Roast that’s grown on the vast coffee plantations of Quebec!
Oui! Oui!

Iced coffee

He said he would do what he’s doing Dictator on day one Every damn day this damn snowflake is getting pissed at the stupid people who put the felon back it. Just want slap someone

bryschmidt.bsky.social•27 days ago

Charlie, I hope you rethink retiring. We've never needed a Gen X punk sonuvabitch as much as we do now.

haidawarcanoe.bsky.social•27 days ago

Disrupt the disruption. Micro-resistance. Block, stymie, question, deflect, lose, delay, obfuscate, stall, procrastinate... Trump has surrounded himself with a band of incompetent lackeys. Make them show their incompetence. Make their "jobs" difficult, impossible. Turn up the heat. And go low.

calgarycanuck.bsky.social•27 days ago

Under Biden the US sent hundreds of plane loads of people back to Colombia but they were treated with dignity on regular airplanes not handcuffed and shackled on military transports. Its all part of a sick show Trump puts on so he can pretend to not be the weak little shit that he really is.

bcreality.bsky.social•27 days ago

It's all performative theatrics to satisfy the sado populism that Trump ran on.

2boutdoors.bsky.social•27 days ago

All other countries must not support the uprising fascism in America. Trump is openly trying to pit allies against each other and punish them using tariffs or takeovers. We can do business without USA when we know exactly where the money is going towards. We must say; never again.

waxwing64.bsky.social•27 days ago

He Charlie, can you ring up some of our Dems and ask them what the fuck are they actually doing? They seem to have vanished. Maybe lend ‘em a bit of your backbone. ☮️

beagle70.bsky.social•26 days ago

It strikes me that there are a lot of cowards and sycophants in “the land of the free and the home of the brave.”

barbarazita58.bsky.social•27 days ago

You are the best! A bright store in a currently dark place. You give me courage to keep speaking my mind.

saltwaterair-2.bsky.social•26 days ago

Please don't retire yet, we need you badly now. You are an intelligent politician, which seems to be hard to find these days. You would make an amazing leader.

clnz.bsky.social•27 days ago

Excellent read and perspective!

10000lakes.bsky.social•27 days ago

"Al Capone in his syphilis phase". I'm gonna steal that!

bubbazord.bsky.social•27 days ago

one is grateful that there are world leaders who don't buy the act and will fight back.

america is not and should not be THE superpower.

being the superpower just leads to bullying.

slightlymadmom.bsky.social•27 days ago

That would explain so much.

trashiepanda.bsky.social•27 days ago

So well said Charlie. Because of courageous men like you this old veteran hasn't given up quite yet. The Bush era brought us sweeps targeting Hispanic & Chumash people in Ventura County that devastated our area for some time, it's going to be a rocky ride.

monettc.bsky.social•27 days ago

Totally! The batshit crazy and the crime family vibes at the same time.

geneva1111.bsky.social•27 days ago

There's been no mention from the current administration or the white house website about the International Holocaust Memorial Day, the 80 year anniversary of Auschwitz concentration camp liberation, while they are rounding up human beings and planes & loading up camps.

ladyoftheisle.bsky.social•27 days ago

I know this is serious and times are dark as hell, but I laughed outloud at “Al Capone in his syphilis phase.” Thanks for the excellent read as per usual, Charlie.

suebroo.bsky.social•26 days ago

Thank you so much ☺️

matelot6628.bsky.social•27 days ago

Lunatic Trump in his advanced syphilitic state.......

ernyc.bsky.social•26 days ago

Well said.

ernyc.bsky.social•26 days ago

Thank you, Charlie.

hhammerm.bsky.social•27 days ago

I love this so much! Very well said! I have got to be your biggest American supporter and fan. So, let’s talk about making Michigan part of Canada….lol! Thank you for fighting for ALL of us!

pbparfait.bsky.social•27 days ago

Love this guy. We need more leaders like him.
