Don’t you dare call us fascists, they say, as they force people off the airwaves for criticizing them while vowing to crush and criminalize their opposition.

John Bolton: “The historical verdict on Trump will be devastating. It’s rare to see one person being so destructive. He’s more like a vandal warlord than a constructive president. That’s what history will judge him on very severely.”

I love how Howard Lutnick calls Canada a “socialist regime” and complains about movies and cars being made in Canada in the same sentence. They’re made here 🇨🇦 because we incentivize companies to do business here… something you ol’ conservatives used to call capitalism.
