Trump's Ballroom Bites the Dust, Thune
John Johnston replied to robosmith's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
It's, it's a Ballroom blitz... And Trumps Eye's are as Orange as the sun... -
Enjoy your Police State as your country slides into Authoritarianism in the guise of Freedumb and so called Patriots. Has Trump does anything? Anything at all to help you? Ask yourselves that. I know he and his kids are doing well. Everybody else? not so much. But Y'all already know all that. Shrug.

More and more evidence is coming in from the behavior of Donald Trump and the opinions of expert observers that he really is nuts. It seems like Republicans, media commentators, and even psychiatrists have been unwilling to utter the “mentally disturbed” or “mentally ill” designation. They have sought to explain Trump’s angry outbursts, erratic behavior, continual lying, confusion about facts, and bullying tactics as due to his narcissistic personality. They have excused his aggressiveness and lack of empathy for others as examples of his hard-nosed business deal tactics. Some have even suggested he has engaged in self-sabotaging tactics because he really doesn’t want to win and have to govern. But more and more, it seems hard to deny. As Daniel Dale of the Washington Bureau of Toronto Star wrote in an article “Is Donald Trump OK? Erratic behavior raises mental health questions,” Trump is really not of “sound mind,” citing a previous comment by conservative Stephen Hayes in the Weekly Standard. Dale also suggested that Michael Bloomberg was alluding to Trump’s mental illness when he made this comment in supporting Hillary Clinton: “Let’s elect a sane, competent person.” This crazy behavior by Trump is on the world stage for all to see. For example, in an interview with George Stephanopoulos, he rambled on about how Russia wasn’t going to go into the Ukraine, when it had two years before, leading to combat between Ukraine and Russia. When asked about the U.S. response to ISIS, he wandered off the subject and talked whether people in the room were good looking. He ranted about how he was no longer friends with Bloomberg and wanted to hit some of the speakers at the Democratic convention very hard. And most famously, he insulted Khan and his wife by comparing his “sacrifices” in building buildings with their loss of their son.

Cecession Referendums in Canada
John Johnston replied to Barquentine's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
Hahahahaha. That's my thinking as well. -
U.S. President Donald Trump says he's considering cancelling concerts planned for the country's 250th anniversary after several artists dropped out. In a Truth Social post, he said he draws bigger crowds than Elvis Presley and could give a speech instead. If it was not so sad it would be funny as hell. Or he is just a garden variety nut case. Which is likely.

building Chinese cars here in Canada....
John Johnston replied to Army Guy's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
Yup. China leads the US in the research of 37 out of 44 critical technologies, claims think tank China has a "stunning lead" over the US. And we better get off our asses here in Canada as well. -
https://factually.co/fact-checks/politics/are-ice-detention-centers-like-concentration-camps-comparison-analysis-2675a7 The label “concentration camps” applied to ICE detention centers is contested: some historians and commentators argue the term accurately captures mass detention of civilians without trial and punitive intent, while others — including institutions tied to Holocaust memory and ICE officials — say the analogy distorts key historical differences like systematic extermination and state intent. The dispute is as much about definition, moral resonance and political framing as it is about documented conditions inside U.S. facilities.
