Canadians and Americans are friends and neighbors. Donald Trump has no friends but he does have co-conspirators.
@devincow.bsky.social Not all, but the best candidates already know who they are.
Still waiting to hear a little appreciation for all the positive things Graham Platner did and continues to do, but have instead mostly just heard snippy little journalists say "I told you so" and complain that he didn't take full responsibility for things he said did not happen.
The gross hypocrisy of smearing a guy just because he was accused of rape by a former girlfriend who sometimes had consensual sex and maybe sometimes not, and then absolving a person actually convicted of rape beyond a reasonable doubt is beyond comprehension.
@devincow.bsky.social Doesn't matter if it's blackmail or bribery, Donald Trump fighting Netanyahu's war or trying to sabotage NATO to please Vladimir Putin is 100% treason.
SCOTUS does have the actual capacity to reform itself, but if the Chief Justice continues to do 0% then I agree 100%.
@devincow.bsky.social As JD Vance evolves and figures out who he wants to become when he grows up, he's already somehow developed a Fidel Castro vibe.
Democratic Socialists are essentially Progressive Democrats, and despite Donald Trump trying to conflate socialists with communists, Donald Trump Republicans are essentially just bad communists, with cult-like dictators, propaganda without free speech, corrupt police states with 0 community sharing.
Maybe time for folks to call Donald Trump's vision of the country what it really is: Oligarch Socialism, like the real welfare queens, Corporate Welfare CEOs.
Amazing how when folks were asked to wear masks during Covid to protect others, Republicans were outraged and horrified by people "hiding" their faces.
@devincow.bsky.social As major corporations make $billions in profits raising prices and paying less tax, telling folks to watch their 401k's go up is a classic trickle-down distraction.
@devincow.bsky.social The cost of maintaining luxury "public" golf courses in Washington DC for an elite few are huge, but the continuing damage to the whole country from Donald Trump choosing golf courses over National Parks and firing park rangers is unmeasurable.
For US National Parks and for environmentally sensitive and legally protected ecosystems all over the world, destroying natural habitat for profit through bribery and extortion, the Trump Family has become among the most invasive and dangerous species plaguing the earth.
@devincow.bsky.social Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu see the Middle East and the entire world as a 0 sum diabolical game of musical chairs where there need to be losers for others to win instead of finding ways for nations and people to live and dance together even with different music playing.
Bessent: "I think it's a great celebratory note for a great president" says the quiet part out loud that instead of Americans celebrating the country's 250th anniversary Donald Trump wants them to celebrate him.
It's not even a "settlement" let alone a fake settlement when Donald Trump just takes American taxpayer funds and transfers them to himself to use for political advertising claiming Biden's DOJ was weaponized to deflect from Trump's actual weaponization of a DOJ that indicts enemies for seashells.
@devincow.bsky.social Besides all the corruption, using blue paint in a fountain, reflecting pool, or even a swimming pool is over-the-top tacky, and desecrates the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool and dishonors yet another national treasure.
@devincow.bsky.social Florida company Columbia/HCA "went to jail" for its CEO Rick Scott by paying a $1.7 billion fine for criminal systematic Medicare and Medicaid fraud, and Scott and JD Vance are going after California for Medicare fraud? enewspaper.latimes.com/infinity/art...
@devincow.bsky.social Donald Trump has ordered his handpicked military leaders to create yet another golden monument to himself in the form of the most expensive warship ever built, the $14.5 billion gold-plated sitting duck Trump Battleship.
And not a good idea to kill your adversaries' negotiators in the middle of "negotiations" if you're actually serious about negotiations?
The CIA and FBI basically know everything about everyone, but Donald Trump fired most everyone who was honest and ethical who knew too much about him. He also destroyed or tried to destroy most of the documents that show what he did. Hopefully there are some duplicate copies. There always are.
Donald Trump destroyed our reputation around the world and it will just get worse. Everyone hates us because of what he's doing in our name. Even the Russian people hate us as Putin laughs watching his puppet trash 250 years of what we built. We are now the Evil Empire and Palpatine is our emperor.
Fox News reporter Peter Doocy was a lot more honest when he reported that "they just want her to go somewhere else."
As much as most Americans detest Donald Trump, his blatant corruption and entire grifting Trump Family, his destruction of our alliances and economy, and ruining our reputation and name throughout the entire world, all that would be set aside in an instant if North Korea or China started bombing us.
Vladimir Putin owns his oil oligarchs because he gave them their jobs. American and Middle East oil billionaires own Donald Trump because they just bought him along with most of the Trump Family.
