The Power of One

I understand the rationale for the air strike but, is it necessary or appropriate for Trump and Co. to howl at the moon over this kill.

While Trump waits for world leaders to ‘kiss the ring’, they are forging new trade agreements that exclude the U.S. His ‘they need us’ attitude is horribly offensive and counter productive. Whatever benefits he secures, will pale in comparison to the long term price Americans will pay.

A morning visitor to my bird feeder.

American ignorance and ambivalence is allowing Trump to play hi-stakes poker with their 401 K’s.

Americans are slowly waking to the reality that they occupy the lower deck on the Titanic while Captain Trump escaped on the first life boat.

We are setting a nasty precedent by surrendering some of Ukraine in exchange for peace. It validates an illegal invasion and encourages more of the same. Plus, who appointed Trump as mediator? Talk about a conflict of interest.

Democrats release latest strategy video entitled “Silence of the Lambs.”

When pressed by the media, Trump’s department heads share their vison and then finish with, “ultimately, it will be up to the president.” What ever happened to Congress?

According to sources, 3.5 million Canadians spent 6.5 billion dollars in Florida in 2018. If enough Canadians travel elsewhere or stay home, Florida, Trump’s home, could take quite a hit.

Every day, many Americans who voted for Trump are saying, “I voted for change but, I didn’t think he’d go this far.” Well, look at the damage he’s done in his first month. He’s got 47 more to go. Good luck America.

The ambush in the Oval Office was staged to discredit Zelensky, remove him from office, and pave the way for Putin’s land grab. In exchange, Putin will sever his alliance with China, nipping Chinese aspirations on Taiwan. Think’n out loud.

Much of the mystery in Washington relates to China and its ambitions to control critical minerals and semiconductors. It explains Trumps concern over Taiwan, Greenland and Panama. The Ukraine will be sacrificed to sever the Russia-China alliance. Can we trust Putin??

Ever wonder about the silence in Washington over Trump’s bizarre behaviour. I suspect everyone, including Democrats, are in on a grand scheme to neutralize growing superpower China and its designs on Taiwan. The U.S. is not going to let the ‘chips’ fall where they may, if you get my drift.

It all may be coming into focus. The U.S.-Russia alliance may be a response to the threat of China, which has been flexing its military muscle around Taiwan. The U.S. recognizes it will need the backing of Putin to get China to heel. Trump is willing to sacrifice Ukraine to make this happen.

I have come to understand the American silence. They are so focused on their own fortunes, that they couldn’t care less about Ukranians, Palestinians, Canadians or Mexicans. They have granted Trump free reign in the belief he’ll deliver. He will. Just not for them.

Love it!

The boycott is strong and getting stronger every day.

Who would have believed that a U.S. president could openly lie about an event, then side with Putin and there’s no uproar, little to no resistance. Some Americans agree with Trump, some have no idea what’s going on and the rest are afraid to speak up. The perfect environment for a dictatorship.

By every account, Americans are either ambivalent or simply unaware of current events. It’s the perfect environment for the death of democracy.

I’m starting to believe the Democrats are giving Trump enough rope to hang himself. It’s the only explanation I have for their silence.

I will reconsider my relationship with America when our ‘so called’ American friends speak out against the shabby treatment. Currently, we appear to be as dispensable as Mexico.

The resistance did not have the Internet or social media during WWII yet, put up a better fight than we are. Sad.

They came for the socialists, the unionists and eventually the Jews. Three times I did not speak out because I was not a socialist, unionist, or Jew. Eventually they came for me and there was no one left to speak for me. Martin Niemöller post WWII

To all my American friends, I apologize if I sound harsh and bitter. This is how I react when a best friend unfriends me on Facebook.

Democracy evolved from years of oppressive regimes. Its birth coincided with news media and the ability to read. The reversal of this trend is responsible for its death. I pray Trump is denied the opportunity to draft its obit.

Let the name Trump be stricken from every book and tablet, stricken from all pylons and obelisks, stricken from every monument of America. Let the name of Trump be unheard and unspoken, erased from the memory of men for all time.

@sanders.senate.gov Much like the captain of the Poseidon, The MAGA crowd have yet to look over their left shoulder.

@sanders.senate.gov 50% of Americans just had to touch the stove.

@sanders.senate.gov Germans still pay a steep price for their silence in Nazi Germany. Are Americans up for an encore?

@sanders.senate.gov I have viewed several of your compelling videos. Sadly, you may be preaching to the choir. But, please press on. I’m with you.

Any illusions about Trumps relationship with Putin have been dashed. Any illusions about Trumps intentions have gone with it. Those wondering about the future need look no further than Russia.

In four years, I’ll post all the positives of Trump’s administration. Oh, what the heck. I’ll give them to you now. There’s the . . . .

Trump and an asteroid have one thing in common. They both have the potential to wipe out civilization.

Many Americans are dismayed and embarrassed by Trump & Co. Problem is, it’s going to take more than words to stop this train wreck.

Bluesky Test 01

The Canadian government has issued a travellers alert for those visiting the United States due to unsafe conditions.

Pre WWII German resentment of Jews provided the perfect environment for Hitler’s rise to power. As his plan unfolded, Germans sat silent or suffered the same fate as their former neighbours. It took years for allied forces to stop the Third Reich. Let’s not wait for “Hitler - Season II.”

To all my Bluesky friends: I have started a GoFundMe Page to raise enough money to purchase a seat for Trump next to Elons on the first mission to Mars.

Trump may cost Canada jobs but he is bolstering national pride. I’m glad I live in a country with old fashion values. We thank America for reminding us of the consequences of abandoning these values and principles.

Trump has admitted that he will use force if necessary, to accomplish his MAGA manifesto. This is not just Canada and Mexico’s fight. No country is immune from his appetite for world dominance. Join a boycott of American goods and services.

In God we trust. Exactly what God are you referring to?

The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. Speak out against Trump. Boycott American goods and services.

To all my friends around the world, I call on you to join a boycott on American goods and services. Collectively, we can stop Trump and his billionaire friends from destroying democracy.

I’d like to know how Canada, the size of California, can be expected to reach trade parity with a country ten times its size?

Trump and his band of billionaires are attempting to change the world order. My manifesto asks everyone around the globe to boycott American goods and services. Collectively, we can stop this deranged lunatic and restore order and decency.

Trump’s tariffs may boost the American economy but trash it’s international reputation. Are Americans so arrogant as to believe they can go it alone?

Trump and Musk are working hard to ensure Americans are hated by every other country. Trash your two best neighbours. Off to a good start boys.
