  1. There is a problem with the "But not us, we're the *good* USAnians" [1] that #Canadians have been hearing frequently since Trump assumed his would-be throne for his second administration.

    Most of the people referring to themselves this way define it as "We didn't vote for #Trump". But that isn't enough to make you "good". From the day he took power, he has been #threatening, #insulting, #bullying, and denigrating Canada, in addition to threatening #NATO, cozying up to Putin, starting wars, murdering fishermen, trying to destroy the International Criminal Court, making brown people illegal, suppressing women and Democrats, and a thousand other things.

    The "We didn't #vote for him" people, for the most part, aren't doing anything about any of that. The truly good #USAnians are in the streets fighting ICE, suing the administration over his #trade wars, protesting *all the time*. Waiting until November to cast a #ballot is insufficient.

    To be "good", you need to be stopping him, or at least attempting to do so. When there are a million people #protesting in the streets around the White House and the Capitol *every day until the midterms*, those people will be the "good USAnians".

    #Silence is #consent / #agreement with his #Nazi agenda.

    [1] They call themselves " #Americans" for some reason, despite the #USA being only 24.5% of the area of the Americas, or 45.1% of North America (less than #Canada).

  2. An excellent editorial from the Globe & Mail:

    > But Mr. Trump does not behave according to any rational calculus.
    >
    > It isn’t just that he has no understanding of policy, nor any knowledge of history to guide him;
    > or that he conforms to none of the norms of custom, morality or law. It is that, even understood
    > as a wholly self-involved, self-serving bundle of id, one whose only motive is self-aggrandizement
    > and self-enrichment, Mr. Trump is incomprehensible. His actions make no sense even in terms
    > of rational self-interest. It’s all just random impulses, fleeting grudges, synaptic burps, based
    > on who spoke to him last, what he saw on TV or what he had for breakfast, for all I know.

    It's about how Canada shouldn't even try to appease him, because it doesn't matter - no matter what concessions we make, he's gonna do whatever he wants. And I've been saying that since he got back into the office and eliminated all the adults in the room that kept his first administration within spitting distance of normality.

    Worth a read. Imagine any major US paper printing this.

  3. It's kinda #sad when a #Canadian who's just a moderately-informed layman interested in world affairs and #geopolitics has a better grasp of what the USA starting a #war with #Iran would entail in terms of consequences than the "president" who ordered it or the Secretary of Defence that is carrying it out.

  4. The "State of the Union" address, or as it has come to be known in recent times, the "Airing of Grievances Prior to Taking Grampa's Phone Away, Changing his Diaper, and Putting Him to Bed".

    More seriously, unless they medicate him properly and do something to keep him on-script, Tuesday's performance is likely to be #legendary, and not in a good way.

  5. "They're not sending their best and brightest."

    Dude, what keeps me up at night is the possibility that they aren't sending their dumbest.

  6. Mango Mussolini loves to talk about "Trump Derangement Syndrome" (TRS), which he believes boils down to "I'm so great and wonderful that all those other people can't handle it and lose their minds and attack me". [1] [2]

    In my mind, TRS calls for a counter-force -- Deranged Trump Syndrome (DTS). He's clearly senile with declining faculties, prone to paranoia, believing in conspiracies, unable to complete a simple sentence without switching subjects three times, becoming aphasic before our very eyes.

    Random addition: "Deranged Trump Syndrome" also has a few apropos, weird, interesting, or just plain bizarre #anagrams, "unregarded nerd symptom", "grumpy rodents demander", "dummy pandered stronger", and "transgender doped rummy" among them.

    [1] My rephrasing. His word salad is less clear in exposing his thoughts. [3]
    [2] Not that there could be other reasons to attack him, I suppose?
    [3] Assuming, arguendo, that they exist.

  7. So, just to make sure I get this right...

    There's a senile codger who sits at home at night, alone with his grievances, no friends, a wife that detests him and refuses to be in the same room with him. He stews and stares at the TV, flipping around hoping to find people saying nice things about him.

    Then, possibly triggered by whatever he sees on TV, or perhaps thermal noise in his degrading neurons, he comes up with some random, crazy thing, and he posts it to social media.

    And then the US cabinet jumps up and says "Yes sir, what a great idea sir, we're on it sir".

    Do I have that right?

    I think others are correct. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords would be a *much* better basis for a system of government.
