Honestly, this is the easiest time to be a journalist - you don’t even need to look for the corruption and crime: it’s all out in the open. So ask yourself why it’s not being reported.

Mike Johnson: "We're so angry about it. I mean, I'm a very patient guy, but I've had it with these people. The theory we have right now -- they have a hate America rally that's scheduled for October 18 on the National Mall. It's the pro-Hamas wing and antifa people ... "

This is why I’m so sick of Americans blaming their government for actions many of them clearly support wholeheartedly

The fact that so many US citizens have no idea Bad Bunny is also a US citizen (and don't believe he can be a US citizen) tells you that when they say "citizen," they really just mean white.

One of the things that's terrifying about what's happening now is the number of Republicans who won't stand up to Trump because they're cowards who are terrified of backlash. MGT strikes me as just unhinged enough to not be sensitive to that, which turns out to be a liability for them.

Like fuck - the Liberals are watching the US government and saying “we need closer ties”?!? Lying in office should be punishable by law.

I know Carney is a world class phony, but it’s staggering just how awful he is. A shameless liar whose government lost legitimacy and needs to fall.

Tree @treemania.bsky.social · 2d

Every politician - EVERY ONE - is either awful or evil. Doesn’t matter the party, country, level, etc. a collection of the worst humanity has to offer. And replacing them means it’ll get worse, bc they’ll just lie and smile until you’re no longer required

Call it what it is: Deeper integration. Closer ties. Less independence. With an unreliable partner that no longer respects the rule of law.
