Photograph of a huge protest in the city of Paris.
Text:
Just had a conversation with a nice French couple who said the problem with US protests is that they schedule them one by one instead of showing up every night until the change happens.
Precisely - US People schedule their protests for days when their Mad King is off golfing instead of disrupting things from functioning until there is a change. Lots of examples US People can learn from. When will US People get serious? The time when it will be too late is fast approaching.

The longer US People keep lying down for everything their Mad King does, the farther he's going to exert his authority.

You can really see how Diversity, Equity & Inclusion has skewed the face of the US Military's senior leadership. πππππ
Maga cultists will believe whatever Mad King FICUS & his Secretary of Warp Hegseth dog whistle to them without bothering to consider the reality right in front of their faces.

He's shifting focus/blame to Europe so he doesn't have to act more on India & China (either raise his tariffs even more or impose sanctions) who are the biggest consumers of oil from the land east of Ukraine. He's already destroyed the relationship with India built over decades of US diplomacy.

US People are easily lured to focus on what their US-bubble news pays most attention. For 2 weeks their posts are absorbed with assassination, a late night show & now Tylenol.
What should really terrify them & occupy thought is US military following illegal orders to commit extrajudicial murder.

Oooo a vote. My my.
You should be charging US military leaders for following illegal orders & murdering civilians for alleged crimes that would not carry a death penalty in their nation nor the US.
Time to take bold action instead of lying down for everything as your nation disintegrates.

Your Mad King has your military conducting extrajudicial murder of human beings for alleged crimes that carry no death penalty in the US or their nation even IF guilty. Sure, cancellation of a late nite show is disturbing, but look outside your US bubble at what the world is seeing from your nation.

2...Now Mad King FICUS turns his attention to tearing down the rest of rule of law. Oaths to a failed constitution mean nothing. Action counts now & there is no action from US People or their military brass, aside from both lying down for everything as the dismantling of their nation accelerates.

Too late. The US constitution is a failed document as of 31 Jan 2020 (Impeachment 1) when a partisan senate voted not to hear witnesses. There is no provision in the US constitution to compel the "checks & balances" to carry out their role responsibly aside from goodwill. .../2

I think you mean the US, though thanks for the compliment to America. The US has not always embodied something precious, or it would not have attacked it's closest ally, putting thousands out of work, Canadian businesses closing & families without income. Stop talking & do something.

1. Poilievre has to go & the Conservatives stop the Bannon/Trump playbook rage-farming.
2. What's most astounding is US People are just deer in headlights, lying down for everything, as it accelerates.
3. Their constitution has failed, nothing compels the checks & balances to check & balance.

The Mad King has people (presumably of another nation) murdered illegally VS the Mad King has a late night TV show taken off the air VS making a pedophile trafficker's client list public. Which one is most concerning to the world & the US' place in it? Hint: the one where human lives were taken.

I get US People worry over muzzling free speech & they're not much interested in humanity outside their US bubble, but it seems there isn't enough attention on their Mad King's extrajudicial murder of 3 boatloads of alleged drug smuggling people. Guilty or not, there's no death penalty for that.

Perhaps try "CBC Gem", "CBC Listen" & "CBC News" apps w a VPN. CBC Listen is CBC Radio 1, Music & Podcasts.
CBC Radio 1 is superb.
On Power & Politics (a CBC News Network show) yesterday they said CBC Gem usage is up 30% since FICUS started threatening Canada. CTV & Global TV have apps also.

Inside Trumpworldβs Reality Distortion Field
In the immediate aftermath of Charlie Kirk's killing, Donald Trump's advisors were sure who was to blame. That law enforcement says they were wrong didn't, and doesn't, much seem to matter.

Most experienced @ question period. None at foreign affairs & diplomacy. None in negotiating deals. No knowledge or experience at planning & executing, at improving things (his "solutions" are to shut down what he's clueless on how to fix - CBC, Bank of Canada, etc.)

Another thing US People are lying down for: US government extrajudicial murder of non-US alleged drug smugglers. Capital punishment is not a legal sentence for drug smuggling in the US or Venezuela. Why this isn't ringing the loudest of alarm bells is very telling about where the US is going.
