Seeing everything going on in the US right now, and knowing how many Nazi/SS officials were brought to the US and/or worked for the government (CIA/NASA/etc.) I have come to a terrible conclusion:

The Nazis ultimately and eventually won WWII.

The party died, but their beliefs rule the world.

Germany in the 1920s and early 1930s had very similar laws. So permissive that political parties had their own armed militias (Brown Shirts & Red Front).

The people were complacent throughout the entire Nazi regime because few of the horrors impacted them personally.

So much is owned by so few, and those few are such evil assholes, that it makes enjoying my favorite shows AND boycotting the evil pricks almost impossible now.

Ok, so if the SCOTUS has ruled that the tariffs were illegal, how is he able to them increase tariffs by 10% across the board?

I will forever be convinced that the USA of today is a direct result of the Truman/Churchill decision that Nazis were preferable to Communists.

The CIA employed Klaus Barbie, the butcher of Leon.

Werner von Braun, who ran a concentration camp to build V2 rockets, ran NASA a decade later.

Humans are to Aliens as fish are to fishermen. A few fish have been abducted and returned, but the stories they tell of the world without water makes the school think they are crazy.

When he needs a scapegoat he can blame a woman simply because she is a woman, and his minions will completely understand why the woman was to blame, because she was a woman.

It seems to be that way everywhere in the world.

30% far-right to right
30% far left to left
40% centrists bouncing between the two

It only repels the ones who have never wanted to inflict pain on others. I am convinced that MAGA is made up entirely of sociopaths and psychopaths. Those who would torture and kill small animals as kids. Those who would enjoy watching children being abused.

Those who enjoy the suffering of others

Not all that unreasonable given how quickly they are heading to restarting their civil war.

I do believe Canada is moving to a war economy, part of which forbids Canadian companies from doing business with potential enemies. But time will tell.

Well double fuck … off to the optometrist for an emergency exam. Looks like my left retina might be detaching. It took 4 months two years ago to fix the sudden full detachment of my right retina.

Apparently I have a genetic defect in the eyes that leads to weakened retinal membranes.

If you are willing to sell equipment of any kind in support of fascist violence, you are a fascist. Canada must not tolerate fascist-adjacent profiteering.

Canada Must Stop the Sale of Armoured Vehicles to ICE Canada has a legal obligation, under both domestic and international law, to block the sale of armoured vehicles to U.S.

I believe Canadian boycott of US should go much further.
Cancel the export licenses for vehicle weapons and ammunition we may be selling to the regime.

The US should immediately set up a β€œMoon Shot” committee to quickly develop a ground-to-space defence shield that will keep everything from entering or leaving the US.

No illegal aliens.
No foreign fishing.
No threat from another country.
No more cheap Canadian lumber.
US AIR FOR AMERICANS!

So the Environmental PROTECTION Agency is no longer in the business of protecting the environment.

Sure, why not!?

Hating an Israeli citizen because they are Jewish is antisemitic.

Demanding accountability of an Israeli citizen for the actions they took in service to their country is NOT antisemitic.

Criticizing the actions of the Israeli government is NOT antisemitic.

A government is not a religion.

I thought there might be something of substance, especially with congress seeing unredacted Epstein files. But all I saw was blind hatred and devotion to the Dear Leader.

The US is so fucked.

I tried. Honest to god I tried. But I just can’t listen to the Bondi tantrums anymore.

Jesus Henrietta Christos, AG Bondi has some serious anger issues.

Definite Karen energy. I bet she speaks to a lot of managers.

My god Pam Bondi is insane! She is acting like a Springer guest, not an AG.

I don’t like it; but I don’t think the public has the full picture yet. Just the number alone - 14 - seems random. And one thing I don’t think Carney does is random.

Perhaps it is needed to complement the previous purchase to create F35 only combat wings? Or to sell/trade for something else?

- no campaigning before or after
- no corporate donations
- all donors above $100 must be publicly disclosed quarterly
- no electoral college; winner takes all

If America wants β€œNationalized” Elections, they should follow Canada’s model:

- All paper ballots
- Hand counting under strict observation
- Elections Canada is an Agency answerable only to Parliament and cannot, by law, speak to the PM or elected official
- 36 day electoral period;
1/2

God dammit @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social !! You hypocritical SOB!

You don’t get to condemn the actions of ICE IMMEDIATELY after @msnownews.bsky.social ran an ICE recruitment ads during the commercial break.

You and the network need to pick a side. What do you value more: lives or ad money?

Ok @msnownews.bsky.social why the hell are you running pro-ICE ads from a PAC?

I know @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social is a conservative, but I doubt he is actually a Pro-ICE conservative.

As soon as I heard that ICE was ordered to wear bodycams, I had one immediate thought:

No one had ordered ICE to turn the cams on.

Words matter to an administration based on subverting the rule of law and abusing language to the point of absurdity.

So, from what I am seeing of the latest Epstein files, being named in them is a prerequisite for a sub-Cabinet or Cabinet level position in the Trump administration.

Hard to believe ALL of this, including releasing more Epstein files, all happened within a 24hr period.
