Stop quoting Trump. Don't use his term for the bill, even in quotes. Don't talk about how it was a victory for the speaker.

The American fascists finally passed their authoritarian manifesto. The speaker forced people to knuckle under the dictator's regime.

Thst should be the headline. No more half measures.

A Nazi.

Hoekstra is a Nazi, just like his boss, just like his peers, just like Musk and the rest of them.

It was TEN YEARS AGO that he said "“The Islamic movement has now gotten to a point where they have put Europe into chaos. Chaos in the Netherlands, there are cars being burnt, there are politicians that are being burnt … and yes there are no-go zones in the Netherlands," and he has only gotten more extreme.

Fucking Nazis. We need them gone.

IT'S NOT A "STRATEGY" FOR SUCCESS!!!

It was NEVER designed to help the US, to make things better, to bring manufacturing back onto US soil.

If you were the Russian government and wanted to destroy the US from within, every single thing you would try to do is exactly what Trump is doing.

Either he's a committed Russian agent, an incredibly hapless stooge, or we're looking at the biggest coincidence in human history.

The world really has to stop reporting on Trump's garbage as anything but deranged ravings of a demented lunatic.

Because you love in the US.

You misspelled "fuck" the web.

He was going to to exile them anyway, legal or not. He's a dictator, and that's what dictators do.

Well, that was interesting,

If you're protesting, the world needs to know it. The US needs to know it! Nearly every person in the US has a cell phone that can livestream this stuff, so where are the feeds? Where are the videos?

Frankly, most of the world doesn't care much anymore. We're tired of listening to the dictates of the USA, benign or otherwise.

Like Canada, the world is going to forge its own path without the US.

If you read the (new) article, you discover that The Tyee revealed last year that David Moretta (Smith's husband and owner of The Dining Car in High River) was in multiple confidential meetings about a private rail line from Calgary to Banff, and is now on the official invitees list for further (confidential) talks.

In short, it's more corruption.

The answer to ALL things going on in the US is simple:

Who's gonna stop them?

The president and his (ex?-)boyfriend are doing whatever the FUCK they want, and they even have the backing of the Supreme Court, so the only way to stop them is active resistance.

You'd be surprised at how effective it is to absolutely ignore the law when you're on top of the heap. I expect that Le Pen would do the same if she got a chance; as would Poilievre, the nuts in charge of the AfD, or any of the unrepentant fascists.

The truth is that the laws put in place to stop this sort of behaviour are like the velvet ropes for crowd control. They only work is people decide to obey them, and if someone were to stomp over them all, it's only the other people who could stop that person from reaching the front of the line.

Hoekstra is just another Nazi fuck, feigning outrage. Weird to make him ambassador to Canada, but we'll continue to go our own way and ignore the ravings.

Nazi fucks. Need to stomped out at the source.

 

I'm looking to get some custom-molded ear plugs to block wind noise while riding on the highway.

Two Canadian companies were at the last motorcycle show: "Safe & Sound" out of Sherwood Park, AB; and "HearSmart Solutions" out of Surrey, BC.

Both look good, but I'm wondering if anyone has experience with or recommendations for either company. Or another option, for that matter.

Whatcha got for me, Lemmy?

 

Calgary Police Commission says Neufeld out as of Friday morning

 

In anime, you often see someone getting their head chopped off by a single dagger strike. I can't believe that's feasible for a 'normal' human, but we also know that a guillotine will do the job handily, when the body is fixed in place.

So can a person with let's say a sharp bastard sword cut off the head of a standing person?

 

In Canada at least, Melitta coffee filters are manufactured in the US.

Technivorm are made in The Netherlands.
