The only thing I've heard Trump say that I do agree with! Carney is the BEST person to lead our country at this time especially. He will help steer our economy to a less USA dependent future which is what we need to prosper long term. #cdnpoli

“He’s a world class leader. He’s a man who knows what he wants. I’m not surprised he won substantially and he’s probably more popular now. He’s a good man. He does a great job but he’s a tough negotiator.”

I think I just heard Pierre Poilievre’s heart break. #Cdnpoli 🇨🇦

Tylenol is one of the only pain relievers women can take in pregnancy for headaches, fever, any pain relief really. And why is this administration so interested in vilifying anyone with autism and their mothers?

This is a must watch episode. Trump has all the tell tale signs of dementia. He's losing it and he's getting worse, more paranoid, and this makes him more dangerous when you add it with his malignant narcissism. www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_IW...

Stephen Colbert: “Tonight we’re all Jimmy Kimmel…. With an autocrat, you can’t give an inch. If ABC thinks that this is going to satisfy the regime, they are woefully naive, and clearly they've never read The Children's Book If You Give a Mouse A Kimmel.”

David Letterman on his career mocking presidents: “Beating up on these people, rightly or wrongly, accurately or perhaps inaccurately, in the name of comedy—not once were we squeezed by anyone from any governmental agency, let alone the dreaded FCC.”

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel

Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

This is how it's done. Fight back and stop rolling over for Trump and his clowns who will do anything for him. Trump is creating a world in which you cannot freely say anything negative about him or his policies. He will go after journalists, comedians, political enemies if you let him.

Every time a corporation caves to toddler outbursts from the WH, they give him a win and he will keep escalating his abhorrent behavior. You must stand up to them and let them know they cannot mow you down. Ask Neville Chamberlain how appeasement worked in 1938. You can't placate a narcissist bully.

A timely reminder from the Holocaust Museum website after Hitler came to power in 1933:
"As a result, the government suspended basic civil rights for all German citizens, including rights such as freedom of expression, press, and assembly. "
