Trump SPIRALS in PUBLIC after Getting HUMILIATED by Canada CORPORATE MEDIA IS AFRAID TO REPORT THIS!

 

TODD & JULIE CHRISLEY: TRUMP PARDONS FOR SALE!

LISTEN TO THE LIST OF TRUMP PARDONS! 


The Orange Turd REMOVED SANCTIONS on RUSSIA! U.S. had YACHTS & other assets, did this BOOB return everything?

RUSSIAN OLIGARCHS paid TRUMP excess for his properties to BRIBE TRUMP - PUTIN OWNS HIM! FANNIE MAE & FREDDIE MAC wants to privatize - ANOTHER TRUMP SCAM! TARIFF LUNACY! SMOOT-HAWLEY TARIFF ACT defined the ECONOMIC DESTRUCTION of TARIFFS - repeating the same thing & expecting different results defines INSANITY! All the WEALTHY INCOMPETENT BOOBS surrounding this LOSER are profiting from INCREASED INTEREST RATES & MARKET MANIPULATION! INTEREST RATES WILL SKYROCKET!

In the MAGA GOP 'BUDGET' BILL for the WEALTHY, not only as TAX CUTS FOR THE WEALTHY made PERMANENT & DEFICITS INCREASED...but MEDICAID is mostly destroyed - HEALTH CARE FOR THE POOR & DISABLED....in itself that will cause HEALTH CARE COSTS to rise. Many seeking care will rely on EMERGENCY ROOMS & wait until their conditions are urgent or untreatable. In the POISON BILL, MEDICARE reimbursements will be REDUCED 5% EACH YEAR! MEDICARE REIMBURSEMENTS were not generous to begin with, but PROVIDERS will REFUSE TO ACCEPT MEDICARE!
Most RED STATES governed by REPUBLICANS already provide poor health care & will be the first impacted, most severely impacted.

FURIOUS King Charles PUTS THE DAGGER in Trump IN CANADA

 

+ 4,700 COMMENTS WORTH READING!

As a Canadian, I want to thank Ben Meiselas and his entire team for everything they do each day to support Canadians. Ben isn’t the kind of guy who just offers “thoughts and prayers” or throws out the usual, “Well, I didn’t vote for Trump.” Nope. Ben's not that kind of guy. Ben is already on the front line, throwing punches, taking heat, and actually doing something to help all of us. He’s an inspiration to all of us Canadians right now. And truthfully, as Canadians, we really need to see some Good Americans right now. Our faith in the United States is pretty damn shaky these days. But Ben? Ben’s the kind of American who gives us hope. He’s courageous, not just cheap talk. The kind of guy I’d choose to go to war with, shoulder to shoulder. Ben Meiselas isn’t just an American cousin for us Canadians.
He’s an American brother. From all of us in Canada: Thank you. And elbows up, Brother B!

King Carles (love him or hate him) is an actual king, unlike the wannabe orange stain

As a Canadian I will never step foot in the United States until Trump is out of office. Elbows Up Canada 🇨🇦

1) I'm hearing more truth about Trump from a Canadian politician than I hear from almost all American politicians. 2) Good to know that I'm not the only one who thinks Trump has made the oval office look like a cheap bordello!

“Donald Trump has reached the 51st state of dementia.” - Canada

The US Ambassador says, "The healing has begun." As a Canadian, I can tell you we will never forget what happened. NEVER!

Trump must not visit the UK. We do not want him here.

Someone asked "Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?" Nate White, an articulate and witty writer from England, wrote this magnificent response: "A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace - all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief. Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing - not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility - for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is - his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty. Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults - he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness. There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface. Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege. And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead. There are unspoken rules to this stuff - the Queensberry rules of basic decency - and he breaks them all. He punches downwards - which a gentleman should, would, could never do - and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless - and he kicks them when they are down. So the fact that a significant minority - perhaps a third - of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think 'Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that: * Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are. * You don't need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man. This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss. After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws - he would make a Trump. And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish: 'My God… what… have… I… created? If being a twat was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set."

It really annoys me how one of those senators that came to visit Canada tried to basically rewrite history by saying that Canada “fought at America’s side in multiple world wars”. 🤦‍♂️ MF, Canada was in both those wars from basically day one while your cowardly asses dragged your heels for years! Canada did not “fight at America’s side”, at least not in the way that that senator was trying to portray. Both my grandfathers as well as some great-uncles fought in the wars. And also, how freaking tone deaf do you have to be to try to characterize the Canadian provinces as being ‘practically like States’ whilst on a diplomatic visit to try and smooth things over with Canada? What a dumbass.

As a Brit who has enjoyed visiting the U.S many times ,I'd say to the world, boycott travelling to the upcoming world Cup and Olympic games,and send a message to the increasingly fascist regime that the world has had enough of this madman.

Dear Canada, Some of us have been voting and working against Trump and his cult since 2016. We became part of the Meidas Mighty family because we don’t fall for his lies and gaslighting and we are beyond outraged by his chaos, corruption, disrespect and inhumanity. Trump should be in prison, not our White House. Charlie is amazing…and he has much better hair than the orange freak. 🤣 Stay strong and we will too. 💪🏻⚖💙✌🏻 🇨🇦🍁

Dear CANADA, THANK YOU! A Massachusetts Congressman Stephen Lynch spoke out & called the 'administration "MORONS & BUFFOONS" specifically for the attacks on HARVARD & FOREIGN STUDENTS. (A judge has blocked the restrictions on foreign students.) In his comments, he said it would take YEARS, if not DECADES to undo Trump's damage. Trump has withheld BILLIONS in research funding. REPUBLICANS believe & promote: KEEP 'EM STUPID!

SUPPORT THE SCIENCE! This from HOPIUM CHRONICLES, author Simon Rosenberg.... Why does this matter? For all its foibles, Harvard (together with other universities) has made the world a better place, significantly so. Fifty-two faculty members have won Nobel Prizes, and more than 5,800 patents are held by Harvard. Its researchers invented baking powder, the first organ transplant, the programmable computer, the defibrillator, the syphilis test and oral rehydration therapy (a cheap treatment that has saved tens of millions of lives). They developed the theory of nuclear stability that has saved the world from Armageddon. They invented the golf tee and the catcher’s mask. Harvard spawned “Sesame Street,” The National Lampoon, “The Simpsons,” Microsoft and Facebook. Ongoing research at Harvard includes methane-tracking satellites, robotic catheters, next-generation batteries and wearable robotics for stroke victims. Federal grants are supporting research on metastasis, tumor suppression, radiation and chemotherapy in children, multidrug-resistant infections, pandemic prevention, dementia, anesthesia, toxin reduction in firefighting and the military, the physiological effects of spaceflight and battlefield wound care. Harvard’s technologists are pushing innovations in quantum computing, A.I., nanomaterials, biomechanics, foldable bridges for the military, hack-resistant computer networks and smart living environments for the elderly. One lab has developed what may be a cure for Type 1 diabetes. Practical applications are not the only things that make Harvard precious. It is a phantasmagoria of ideas, a Disneyland of the mind. Learning about my colleagues’ research is a source of endless delight, and when I look at our course catalog, I wish I were 18 again. DNA extracted from human fossils reveals the origin of the Indo-European languages. Grimm’s fairy tales, with their murder, infanticide, cannibalism and incest, reveal our eternal fascination with the morbid. A single network in the brain underlies remembering the past and daydreaming about the future. Nonviolent resistance movements are more successful than violent ones. The ailments of pregnancy come from a Darwinian struggle between mother and fetus. The “Who is like you?” prayer in the Jewish liturgy suggests that the ancient Israelites were ambivalent about their monotheism.

POLITICO NIGHTLY: Here come the Covid midterms

THE VIRUS VOTERS — Joe Biden always said he’d “follow the science” on Covid, and with few exceptions — such as the White House’s premature declaration of victory over the pandemic — he’s spent the past year doing just that, largely with the support of Democrats in Congress and in the states.

But from the beginning, politicians have weighed the politics of the pandemic along with the science. And in a Monmouth University poll last week, 7 in 10 Americans — including 47 percent of Democrats — agreed with the idea that “it’s time we accept that Covid is here to stay and we just need to get on with our lives.” The poll was in line with other surveys suggesting people are tired of their restriction-altered realities. Almost on cue, Democratic-led states throughout the country started paring back mandates.

Biden was elected president in part — perhaps largely — because he promised to defeat the virus, to take more aggressive measures instead of punting the problem to the nation’s governors, as President Donald Trump had done. But since he took office, the pandemic has been a persistent drag on Biden’s presidency. Public approval of his handling of the virus has fallen underwater.

Republican strategists have described the pandemic to Nightly as a godsend, with its effects on both inflation and education, two of voters’ top concerns, as well as on Biden’s dismal public approval ratings.

GOP strategists are vowing to run on unpopular Covid restrictions even if they’ve been taken away. They gleefully predict that Biden’s party will pay a price in the midterm elections for, in their view, waiting too long.

“They are waving the white freaking flag, after they’ve completely lost the war and have nothing else to do besides retreat,” said Jeff Roe, the Republican strategist who managed Texas Sen. Ted Cruz’s presidential campaign in 2016 and helped elect Glenn Youngkin governor of Virginia last year. “The female suburban independent, college educated voter? Good luck. Add people who are married with kids, and put them in the Republican camp. [Democrats] did more damage to that coalition in the last 14 months than any Republican has done in the last 14 years.”

Fred Davis, a Republican ad maker, said that in the November elections, “People will remember that the supply chain was broken down, that kids didn’t go to school … that the world closed up.”

The prospect that people will remember school shutdowns and mask mandates  and punish Democrats for them — is one possible outcome of pandemic politics, assuming the lull continues. But let’s stipulate that, in November, children aren’t wearing masks in schools, that families have spent the summer posing for pictures at Disney World and hugging Mickey Mouse.

In that Clorox-free scenario, it’s not clear that Republicans are the party that will gain an advantage.

Take Covid away, and it’s not unreasonable to think the mood of the electorate may improve, and that Biden’s approval ratings might tick up — and perhaps help to limit Democrats’ losses in the House.

“If Covid is in the rearview mirror and there’s a return to, quote, normal, whatever normal is, the occupant of the White House will benefit,” said Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist College Institute for Public Opinion.

The other possibility — the more likely one, judging by recent history — is that if the pandemic really does subside, it may quickly fade from our politics altogether. In the run-up to last year’s gubernatorial race in Virginia, politicians and strategists of both parties were bracing for the pandemic to feature heavily. But several weeks before the election, as Covid conditions improved, polling showed Covid receding as a priority for voters. Campaign advertising related to the pandemic nearly vanished.

And by the time Youngkin defeated Democrat Terry McAuliffe, exit polls showed Covid lagging behind education and the economy and jobs as a top issue of concern. The pandemic still mattered to the extent that it infected those facets of life. But as a stand-alone issue, it was not all that salient.

This year, a pandemic-stayed November may look a lot like that — with Republicans likely to win back the House, but not because of Covid.

Republicans probably don’t need it. They will have Biden’s legislative difficulties to talk about — and gas prices and crime and critical race theory. And then there’s whatever else happens — or whatever else the right can dream up — in the nine months before the election. By November, voters may have other things to worry about.

“I think what will be top on their minds is what they’re seeing — inflation, gas prices,” said Bob Heckman, a Republican consultant who has worked on nine presidential campaigns. “I don’t even think they’ll be thinking about Covid, to be honest.”

WHAT'D I MISS?

— Biden says he’s thoroughly reviewed ‘about 4’ SCOTUS candidates so far: Biden said today that he had thoroughly reviewed about four “well qualified and documented” candidates to fill Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer’s seat on the bench. Biden, who has vowed to nominate the first Black woman to the Supreme Court, told NBC’s Lester Holt that he’d done the “deep dive” on those contenders, making sure there was nothing in their background checks that might disqualify them.

— Canadian bridge blockade could worsen Biden’s economic headaches: The anti-vaccine protest blocking a critical trade route between the U.S. and Canada threatens to exacerbate two persistent economic challenges confronting the Biden administration: congested supply chains and rising consumer prices. A convoy of truckers opposing cross-border vaccine requirements has stopped traffic from crossing the Ambassador Bridge between Windsor, Ont. and Detroit, the busiest international crossing in North America that facilitates the exchange of more than $300 million worth of goods per day.

— Schumer moves to limit debate on FDA nomination: Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer filed cloture today on Robert Califf’s nomination to lead the Food and Drug Administration , signaling Democrats expect to have the votes to confirm him. The motion to limit debate on the cardiologist’s nomination sets up a vote next week, meeting Senate HELP Chair Patty Murray‘s goal of shepherding him through the chamber ahead of the Presidents Day recess.

— Top D.C. lobbying firm reps company alleged by former employees to have paid off Taliban: A top Washington lobbying shop has agreed to represent the U.S. parent company of a major Afghan telecom alleged by three former employees and four former senior Afghan government officials to have paid money and extended other favors to the Taliban as they fought a bloody insurgency over the last 20 years. S-3 Group filed a lobbying disclosure Nov. 1 that it now represents Telephone Systems International, the holding company for Afghan Wireless, one of the largest mobile telephone operators in the country. The document, required by U.S. law, states three of its lobbyists — John Scofield, Jose Ceballos and Michael Long — will lobby on “access to wireless communication in Afghanistan.”

— Senate clears #MeToo bill banning mandatory arbitration: The Senate cleared a bill today that would forbid clauses in employment contracts requiring workers to litigate sexual harassment and abuse cases in private , rather than a court, several years after the #MeToo movement drew attention to the issue. The legislation, which was passed by voice vote, has bipartisan support. Lawmakers drafted it in response to the #MeToo movement, which exposed how the clauses — known collectively as mandatory arbitration — prevent repeat offenders from being held accountable.

HILL HUNG UP OVER SANCTIONS — Bipartisan negotiations over how to deter a Russian invasion of Ukraine are at an impasse, top senators said today, amid fears that a Moscow invasion is imminent, Andrew Desiderio writes.

Senate Foreign Relations Chair Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) and the panel’s top Republican, Sen. Jim Risch of Idaho, indicated that their weekslong negotiations have hit several snags in recent days, including over the scope of sanctions to impose after a possible Russian incursion.

“We’re running out of runway,” Risch said bluntly. “It’s important that the Senate of the United States express … where the United States is on this issue.”

While both lawmakers have insisted that the effort isn’t dead, the remaining disputes continue to threaten the time-sensitive package. Republicans and Democrats have long disagreed over the best way to deter a Russian invasion, with GOP lawmakers insisting that some sanctions should be imposed on the front end while Democrats argue that the sanctions should come only after an incursion.

“We’re thinking of a different process to move forward,” Menendez said, citing the impasse.

NIGHTLY NUMBER

7.5 percent

The annual inflation rate in the U.S., the highest since 1982 , according to a Labor Department report. This is the second report in a row where the number has broken 7 percent.

PARTING WORDS

THE DJT TP OMG — Breaking news reporter Samuel Benson emails Nightly:

When it comes to Trump’s bathroom records-keeping practices, the fits are hitting the newsstands.

new book by New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman, scheduled for publication in October, flushes out new material on Trump’s obsession with toilets. Staff in the White House residence told Haberman they periodically found a toilet clogged with wads of printed paper, leading them to believe Trump attempted to flush ripped documents.

Trump was quick to refute the reporting. He released a statement today, calling the story “categorically untrue and simply made up by a reporter in order to get publicity for a mostly fictitious book.”

But today’s powder room dust-up is only the latest saga in Trump’s yearslong crusade against low-flow toilets and sinks. Krystal Campos put together this video of the greatest hits from Trump’s WC CV.
