    Sean Duffy said Canada would come back to the table

    How about we just tough it out for 90 days and y’all can talk to us after the midterms when they cut Donny’s balls off.

      I’ll believe it when I see it.
      I don’t trust American democracy at all anymore.

        Yup. Too many stupids and too much election interference.

        We know enough of America is over this shit to at least win the House. If that doesn’t happen, the corruption will be so obvious that violence will be inevitable.

          I’m sure a lot of Americans feel that way, I’m just not sure it’s enough.
          As you wrote yourself, there are too many stupids.
          A third freaking still support this administration!! How is that at all possible??
          Then there’s probably about another third that don’t know and don’t really care.
          Leaving only a third to take action, and from normal statistics we know probably only a tenth will.
          That’s only 3% to actively take to the streets and try to change things with force.

          I hope I’m wrong, I hope Republicans get their butts kicked in the midterms. And I will celebrate if it happens.
          But until it happens, I’m at best very cautiously optimistic.

        Yup, it was on shaky ground before, nevermind that a pedo and his group of cronies have had two years to destroy nearly everything and stack the deck in their favor.

          two years to destroy nearly everything

          Half the period has passed, and he is about half finished to make it everything.
          It’s insane that Americans allowed Trump to become president! 😵‍💫

              Absolutely, USA has become a rogue nation, with a democracy that can’t be trusted.

              I don’t think it’s CIA, it’s the 1% through think tanks and weirdo political interest groups like Americans for Prosperity, and American media also being owned by the 1%.
              Republicans by the way has become one of those weirdo interest groups supported by the 1%.

                  It was Truman, and the reason was to continue war time intelligence gathering in peace time.
                  I don’t see any reason to be particular suspicious about the original motivation for it.
                  The problem is that CIA has increased the political paranoia, and USA having the CIA has normalized similar intelligence agencies around the world.

                  But absolute I agree, that today CIA is very far from serving the majority of the population, but has become a part of the industrial complex and serving the interests of the 1%.

      Or even better yet, how about we do what some of the other peops in the world are doing and saying Canada won’t deal with the US until the child rapist is gone or end of term and he is gone.

      Big risk expecting American voters to do the right thing. Wouldn’t rule out Trump coming out of it even stronger

        The bigger risk is assuming that voting will even happen or matter with their corrupt government.
