Trumpism is doomed. Not because of Trump but because of the amoral bootlickers that giddily support his cruelty. They don’t think it will hurt them, but history has proven that fascist movements always destroy the people who built it.
How are Mike Pence, Rudy Giuliani and MyPillow guy doing?

An apology from the Brexit lobby is too much to hope for. Silence might be a relief.

Deep into editing both photo and video collected in the Nisga'a Valley in April. This is the Government dock at the end of the road in Gingolx, or Kincolith as it is also known. Sometimes work takes you to the ends of the earth, and if the opportunity should present itself to you, say yes.

We love to scapegoat elected officials, over the last few years I've seen "Fxxk Trudeau" stickers on gas pumps. Well he's gone, the carbon tax is gone, guess what isn't gone. The high price. Prices didn't change at the pump, that's 100% oil co price gouging.
