This is real. This... {deep breaths} I cannot even find the right word... actually said this about this year's richly deserving Nobel Peace Prize winner.

He did everything he could to denigrate her win.

How did those American farmers and military members vote?

They wanted to hurt people. They just didn’t think they would be included.

“America First” means:

•$20B to Argentina to screw American farmers
•$38B to Israel for genocide
•$??B to Qatar for new Air Force base in Idaho

Meanwhile—US Service members stand in food lines because Trump’s government shutdown has them furloughed without pay. So much winning!

great yet?🤔

It is clear that Trump is not going to stop in his attack on Canadian manufacturing. The PM is going to have to put a strong plan in place to support our auto, lumber, steel, aluminum sectors.
This is a speech I gave to autoworkers in Oshawa.

Who is complaining is no surprise. The Notwithstanding clause can be a useful protection (think of the CPC in power) but it needs to trigger an automatic election in the jurisdiction where it is used. Any issue that is serious enough to limit our civil rights needs the electorate to support it.

Judge April Parry stated in her ruling that the deployment would “only add fuel to the fire that the defendants themselves have started.” Time to go back home to Texas!

Well, well, well... What have we here?

Looks like the Nobel committee opted against the bloated, discolored, racist who's currently declaring war on his own people.

Judge Perry: “I’m trying to put this delicately. There has been evidence submitted that the very presence of federal agents, that the way they’re interacting with the populace, is itself the cause of violence.”

Judge blocks Trump from deploying troops in Illinois for now

Officials in Oregon and Illinois had challenged the Trump administration’s push to dispatch the National Guard in both states.

He called war heroes “suckers and losers.”

He bragged he could “shoot someone on 5th Ave.”

And he wanted a Nobel Peace Prize.

He's an Agent for Murder.

AN AGENT FOR MURDER

You can’t bribe your way to peace. You earn it through humanity and Trump has none

Today, I drove the Unity Bus to Red Deer, Innisfail, Sylvan Lake, Rimbey and Rocky Mountain House. Alberta is energized by the #ForeverCanadian movement.

Volunteers, thank you for your hard work and commitment to Canada!

We’re proving that political engagement can be positive.

I guess declaring war on your own cities and sinking boats leaving Venezuela without checking what was actually on them wasn't good enough to win the Nobel Peace Prize. Who knew?

Finland and others should not assist a hostile and expansionist America from being better able to threaten others Arctic sovereignty.

America is not a real ally anymore.
