A fervent believer in respect for others, compassion, and the idea that by lifting up those most in need we make life better for us all.
By circumstance this makes me anti- oligarchy, anti-fascist, and anti-mysogyny.

Our airports are open.
We feed our poor.
Everyone has healthcare.
We have allies.
We don't stab friends in the back.
Our leadership is sane and thoughtful.
We don't snatch people off the streets.
We have rule of law for everyone.
Why would anyone think we'd want to be a 51st state?

I just saw a comment that said "I don't support what happened to Charlie, but Charlie supported what happened to Charlie."
THAT ... that's what I've been trying to put into words.

Trump campaigned on his unhinged plan to impose tariffs on the entire world and Corporate America could have made it clear that this would have devastating consequences for consumers and the economy but instead they just assumed that Trump would not follow through and supported Trump

This is the type of person that the miserable fucker in the Whitehouse felt deserved a pardon...kinda says everything you need to know doesn't it?
The funniest part is an allegedly grown man talking this much trash while wearing a hat that says PROUD BOYS.
It’s like thumping your chest in a t-shirt that says I’M MOMMY’S LIL STINKER

I said just the same thing to family members today. Canada's long term response to Trump, tarrif threats and this 51st state bullshit should be a move to increase trade with Europe. I'd rather be an EU member than part of the shitshow to the south.

Emmett McFarlane: If Trump imposes 25% tariffs on Canada next week, there is an expectation Canada will retaliate with tariffs of its own, on selected goods, in response.
If this is the sum total of Canada’s response, it will not be enough.
