"It’s worth remembering that for the master of the 'art of the deal' a 'deal' isn’t an agreement between parties so much as getting one over on a weaker or less sophisticated party. That’s the entirety of Trump’s career in business. It’s also why that business career involved a string of bankruptcies. Because he’s actually not a good negotiator at all with a sophisticated counterparty."

They didn’t.
2015 was a culmination of all stupid Clinton conspiracy theories, butter emails, the inexplicable Comey decision, media failure to investigate & divulge the TRUTH about all of DJT’s corruption & lies, AND a continuation of low voter turnout. We rallied a bit for 2018 midterms & Pres. Biden, but voter turnout has never exceeded 63% in a presidential election & hovers around 40% for midterms.

The collapse of integrity & journalistic standards since 2016 has meant a huge percentage of voters do not get any TRUTH unless they diligently seek it out. GOP voters don’t vote FOR anything, they vote against taxes, “damn libruls” and immigrants.

Just my opinion.

Your periodic reminder that we are not the apex species.

Wow, understanding the Pope's 42,000 word message really is going to chew up a lot of tokens.

All they have is violence

We have love, community & care for 1another, something no occupier can ever break

For decades they have committed grave injustices and unleashed grotesque violence in an attempt to crush Palestinian resistance for land, dignity & life

Now that same violence is being turned on anyone who dares to stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people

But violence has never succeeded in breaking people’s spirit
It only strengthens our love for 1another & deepens our resolve

"six months after former FDA vaccine chief [and anti-testing, anti-mask, anti-vaccine hysteric] Dr. Vinay Prasad said, without releasing evidence, that the agency had identified at least 10 previously unreported child deaths tied to the vaccines" the agency quietly released a report that the number remains zero.

Mexico is turning out to be the country everyone thought Canada was, and President Claudia Sheinbaum is turning out to be the leader Canadians were fooled into believing Mark Carney was going to be.

Every single person involved in these criminal acts must be NAMED, SHAMED AND PROSECUTED. ABOLISH ICE.
