Recovering conspiracist on his way to redemption as a reborn conformist. The confession of my sins is almost completed.
TRUMP and Republicans going after Venezuela to find and destroy "the drugs" is a repeat of Bush and Republicans going after Iraq to find and destroy "the weapons of mass destruction".

Conformism cannot succeed as long as there are a few unyielding spirits.

"We're not being the unreasonable party here; We're not the ones who want to rip up ... an agreement that we just signed a few years ago; We're not the ones who are slapping tariffs on the other side; We're not the ones talking about annexing the other..." (- Andrew Coyne)

The prime minister of 🇨🇦 Canada should step aside for a little while and leave more space to the Liberal candidate that ran for the office of prime minister.

Canada must stop being the powerless victim of this sort of "friendship", and the 🇨🇦 Carney government has to hit back once in a while.
President Trump said late Thursday that he was terminating trade negotiations with Canada, expressing anger over an ad that featured former President Ronald Reagan criticizing the effects of tariffs in 1987. Follow live.

When a government talks about "having to make sacrifices", we have a pretty good idea about which group of citizens will end up making said sacrifices. But, hey, we'll see (screen grab from CBC News).

Anyone wanting a clear picture of what's going on in Trump's United States -- and the effects on the world -- can spend the next 38 minutes listening to this (Ian Bremmer's speech at the GZero Summit/Eurasia Group) :

It is fitting that these two 🇨🇦 titles would be next to each other. The first one is a warning against Trump's regime, the other is another sign that the leader of the Conservative Party of Canada is a mini-me Trumpie trying to discredit Canadian institutions without offering any evidence.

In short, that's the sort of warning countries used to issue to their citizens about banana republics and failed democracies.

"Many people will say: Oh no, you can't call [Trump] a fascist, it's too extreme of a term. But I submit to you that it is fascist behavior and it's incredibly dangerous, and good people's silence enables this type of behavior. (... ) They have to speak up."

The summit between the two men has handed Vladimir Putin what he wanted. In return, Russia’s leader provided nothing. For Donald Trump, the optics are an embarrassment. For Ukraine and Europe the moment of maximum danger is still to come econ.st/3UwRUk7
