It's bizarre that people are OK with Trump weaponizing the DOJ in order to sate his enormous appetite for unjustified vengeance.

After Saturday chores and errands, I think a pint of Guinness at my local is on the to do list.

Poilievre is Canada's most prolific rage-farming, populist liar whose entire 20 year long career in politics has been rife with persistent delusion and skullduggery.

He is a duplicitous rogue, definitely not to be believed.

Unusual in a functioning democracy but quite common in any fascist dictatorship.

Is America great again yet?

No matter how low he himself sets the bar, he always manages to find a way to slither below it.

Put it in a gender neutral public toilet and charge people a buck to piss on it.

All money collected to be donated to charity, preferably one with an anti-Trump bias.

Is this confusing for them or does the anti-vax cult justify it with a simple, "Dear Leader can do no wrong?" 🤔

Either way it's hypocrisy to the max.

Even in the unlikely event that some measure of sanity returns to the White House in 2028, it will be at least a generation (maybe 2) before the damage done by the trainwreck known as the Trump administration can be repaired and America gets back to being a functioning democracy.

Bonne chance.

Just in case you're wondering how America could do something as stupid as electing the orange shitstain, twice.

According to the U.S. Department of Education and the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), about 54% of U.S. adults read below a 6th–7th grade level.

Only about 12% of U.S. adults are considered “proficient” in literacy, meaning they can analyze complex texts and reason from them.

America's worst mistake didn't win the Nobel Peace Prize.
