Dear Republicans,

What are your thoughts about Trump bringing the US into the Axis of Evil? You know, the guys we fought AGAINST in WWII? Ever heard of it? Google it - you’ll learn something valuable.

Sincerely,
Canada.

Trump appears to have brought the US into the Axis of Evil after decades of being part of the Allies. This is very sad.
How do we benefit from Russia getting stronger by gaining control of Ukraine???

The GOP’s primary goal all along has been to lower taxes for the rich, to further fill their pockets beyond bursting. All of the reactions and plans to suppress/deny/abuse minorities is a gross distraction from their main goal.

The fact that nobody is talking about is that corporations and billionaire CEOs contribute to BOTH the GOP and DNC. Therefore both parties are bought. They fundraiser most successfully when there are travesties going on, which distract from the real problems.

Ponder on that.

What are the greatest problems facing everyday people today?
-the cost of living
-inadequate wages
-health insecurity
-etc.

What are leaders doing to address any of these problems?

-attacking LGBTQ+
-lowering taxes for the ultra-wealthy
-protecting people’s rights to own arsenals of deadly weapons

The ultimate irony would be if health insurance CEOs were denied life insurance because of the extra risk. That would give them a taste of their own medicine (you see what I did there?).
Of course, I don’t wish harm on anyone.

Canada as the 51st state?

I’m sure there are *some* Canadians who might want this, but they must either be billionaires or people who have zero experience living in the American system. I am a Canadian who lived/worked in the US for 20 years and it is so VERY flawed. I am so happy to be home.

Isn’t everyone aware that Fox News is the only channel that comes through with the ole rabbit ears in the rural South?

In the past, when allegations of sexual misconduct (or worse) were brought to light, nominees and politicians were shamed into disappearing. Nowadays, they have no shame.

Am I the only one who is thoroughly sick of Trump dominating the news? I honestly think that if people would just ignore him, he would move on to another profession and tank another business. That would be such a relief.

Students! Don't forget that advance voting for the Lethbridge-West by-election starts next week! You can vote December 10 - 14 at any advance poll location.

34 seems like a lot of felony convictions…. It is surprising that they are not talking about deporting anyone with 30+ felonies rather than innocent, immigrated people who follow laws and just want a better life.

The UCP (ie. Conservatives) in Alberta, Canada criticize the liberal government for promising $200 tax rebate checks (for families who earn less than 150K/year) and sales tax break on groceries and toys to help over the holidays.
Obviously, they only like hand-outs for the rich.

The Canadian government announces $250 checks and tax breaks for the holiday season.
Let’s see how long it takes businesses to increase the prices on their groceries and products to snatch away that money for themselves.

Not to suggest that this election result is fraudulent, but… Trump and his sycophants are constantly projecting their desires and strategies in their criticisms and conspiracy theories regarding the Democrats.
I would follow-up on every election conspiracy that they submitted to the courts.

The most convincing explanation for the recent, dismal election result that I’ve seen:

So far no insurrections in Washington, just an intimidating mob of musicians in higher Ed. Nobody ever suspects the music profs…
