A sign of Trump's extreme narcissism and astronomical conceit is the constant masturbating of his ego in public , reinforced by helping hands from his Cult of Adulation and Submission .

Trump made a deal with Japan to get rid of their tariffs on cars ,as US cars are not bought in Japan. In fact Japan has never had tariffs on American cars, but Japanese people do not want inferior quality overpriced, oversized gas guzzlers, as they have far better.

I have a car and am responsible for limiting pollution within a set cap at my cost . So, why is industry given a free hand while asking us to pay for their pollution reduction scams . Set the cap & let them pay to meet it, as we all do ,or pay a penalty as we do for excess

Doug Ford was *twice* elected by 17% of the Ontario electorate. 🤦‍♀️

The current system is SO broken.

Politicians love to warn that the other side has a radical agenda. Yet, they don't seem too concerned that first past the post means they can win a majority with less than 40% of the vote. Fear alone will not fix democracy. Proportional representation will.
