“Today, March 11th is the 178th anniversary of Canadian democracy. 178 years of unbroken, uninterrupted parliamentary democracy. Which makes Canada the oldest continuous democratic federation in the world.”
- John Ralston Saul
Happy Canadian democracy day peeps.
A talking filibuster is when you make the OTHER PARTY talk and talk. Republicans are so dumb, they are now planning a filibuster of their own bill! www.politico.com/live-updates...
Putin and Trump want Orban to win, and are willing to interfere and intervene to get their way. A major test for the EU and liberal democracy in Europe. Also for Hungarian voters.

Democracy in America was no weaker than anywhere else. What has failed, & on nearly every level, are the consequences for rule-breaking.
Rules are there for a reason, & there will always be some who ignore them. (We wouldn't need them if everyone behaved.) They are nothing without sanctions.
It is hard to think of any case of a leader being more submissive to an adversary than Trump is to Putin.
Putin could kill someone from Trump’s family and he would still praise him while attacking Zelensky over it
“The relentless lying is exhausting and I think that’s what they intend it to be!
Some days I am - then I’m fired up and pissed off and I’m proud as hell of our PM Carney for saying that we will NEVER be a part of this offensive on Iran!” 🇨🇦

Canadians have increasingly bypassed U.S. travel for more than a year, and the boycott shows no sign of slowing down.
I think my favorite quote of the day was Mike Johnson saying that Markwayne Mullin taking over DHS was going to save Republican candidates in the midterms. Dude just needs to keep strategizing exactly like that from now until Nov.

A Pew survey found that 53% of American adults describe the morality and ethics of our fellow citizens as “bad.” Meanwhile, in Canada, 92% say their fellow Canadians are good while just 7% say they’re bad.
Why are we Americans so down on our fellow citizens?
Absolutely, flabbergastingly insane.
After watching this shit show in Iran can we now agree that maybe having academics isn’t a bad thing?
This is the guy who likes to downplay non-fatal injuries suffered by US service members in combat.
Murphy: "Literally in my other ear I'm listening to Ted Cruz on another network explain why this mission is so essential to destroy the nuclear program. I may have to walk over there and tell him the admin is now briefing that getting rid of the nuclear program has nothing to do with this mission."
They hate me because I fight. They attack me because I win.
I will do everything I can to protect free and fair elections. I will never back down.
everything totally fucking sucks right now. the president is a demented fascist. he’s wasting billions of dollars on an illegal war. masked and armed government thugs have invaded the streets of our cities. gas is unaffordable. food is unaffordable. Congress is useless. the press is useless. Republicans are trying to fuck with our system of free and fair elections. ugh. but at least we can take schadenfreudian pleasure in the fact that Marco Rubio’s feet are killing him. why is Liddle Marco hobbling around in pain? because Dear Leader is making him wear shoes that don’t fit, and he’s too chickenshit to take them off. I wish I were making this up.
get a load of this clownfuckery: Mad King Donny is making his flunkies wear the exact same shitty shoes as he does, and they're too afraid to say no. I mock the shit out of all of it, in a tremendous post like few thought possible. 'sir!' they say, 'how do you words?' link is here: bit.ly/4deDUG7
Not really breaking any news here.
Elizabeth Warren: "I am a hard no on a supplemental. This is not a war the American people want us to engage in. This is not a war that makes us safer ... No. No more money. The only thing Congress has the power to do is to stop actions like this through the power of the purse."
