Trump has launched a war in the Middle East without our consent, without a plan, without a strategy, and without any clear idea about where it leads or how it ends.

This is *nothing* dignified about wearing a cheap baseball cap that promotes yourself to the otherwise solemn ceremony to receive the bodies of the troops you had killed to distract from your bad economy and rampant pedophilia.

There is nothing funny about this performance. She lies and contorts her face, thinking she’s fooling us. 🎭

We see the lying and the lack of soul. We see a woman who only cares for herself and her power. This isn’t leadership; it’s cruelty. πŸ™„

A big part of the authoritarian playbook is war. War takes over the news. War blots out criticism. War divides a nation’s people, subjecting those against it to being called unpatriotic. War grants leaders all sorts of emergency powers. War consumes everything else.

We mustn’t let this war do so.

Im no fan of Iran (an awful regime ruling over mainly lovely people) but it is less of a threat to world peace right now than the United States and Israel.

"A sharp slowdown in population growth and lingering trade
uncertainty will be a drag on economic growth this year."

- From Alberta's new budget while Alberta simultaneously (and falsely) blames an excess of immigrants for the cost of everything.
