40 days into Hitler's rule there was a crisis (Reichstage fire) that allowed him to declare martial law, and take complete power. I am expecting something similar in the US soon.

This afternoon I went to PetValu to get a variety of cans of Canadian cat food to try with my cat. Most cat food is from the USA, so I have to find some new stuff he likes. Wish me well!

First 1972, now 2025. Canada is good at beating the Russians in hockey.

I see so many anti-Trump Americans "counting down" to the next election. They still don't get it. You can vote a dictator in, but you don't get to vote him out. He is there to stay.

Kash Patel has been confirmed as head of the FBI. So now that is under Trump's thumb as well as health, the military, etc. And no one is stopping him. I would say the USA now qualifies as a fascist dictatorship.

I wonder how long it will be until he eliminates those pesky elections.

Does anyone else see "kinder, küche, kirche" in the near future of women in the US?
