CARTOON VILLAINS ON PARADE. WHO BELIEVES THIS CRAP?

Buckle up folks. Another invasion of America is underway… President Trump is threatening to charge tariffs to Canada over smoke from wildfires drifting into the US. "The United States is being unnecessarily invaded by filthy, polluted, and unhealthy air, the quality of which is dangerous, and totally unacceptable!" Trump wrote yesterday on Truth Social. Now he cares about clean air? But no worries. GOP senators have written a letter to Canada laced with the usual threats and righteous indignation. Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH) plans to introduce a bill in the House on Monday to declare an emergency, sanction the Canadian government and revoke visas over the smoke. In response the premier of Ontario told reporters that his province has repeatedly helped the US with wildfires. “I truly believe the Americans are good neighbors," he said. "If there’s some politicians out there chirping away, well, maybe what you should do rather than complain is send support, send help, because we have done the exact same thing for our American friends. And that’s what you’re supposed to do." We’ve become the quintessential bad neighbor. Meanwhile the reviews of Trump’s primetime speech roll in… But it was actually nice to hear that one of the declassified docs Trump released shows that Russia tried to influence the 2020 election to defeat Biden. Its operatives worked “with US officials and other prominent persons” to “spread claims about former Vice President Biden as well as Ukrainian politicians and alleged Ukrainian influence in the 2016 US elections.” Trump has always denied Russian interference in US elections. But I guess he’s seen the light. He also claimed the Chinese government was paying journalists to write negatively about him. He then attacked the media for being “part of a plot…to continue this [election] fraud for whatever reason. They want to keep it going. They want to protect the radical left.” He called for his government to revoke their broadcast licenses. This should be a juicy topic of conversion in his upcoming dinner with Xi Jinping. And he again, endlessly, interminably, demanded Congress pass the SAVE America voter suppression act, saying “the only reason you wouldn’t do it is you want to cheat because your policies are so bad and your candidates are so pathetic that you can’t get elected in any other way.” Master of projection. Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin, blocked by federal courts 16 times in efforts to grab state voter rolls, has resorted to threatening state officials with criminal prosecution if they don’t comply with Trump demands to do as he says. Before his speech the prez was urged to remain restrained and on script by aides. "They explained the way to be taken seriously is not to be crazy," a senior official told POLITICO. Lastly, too good not to share…Stephen Miller addressing the State Dept…. “It’s not a coincidence that when you look at these violent antifa demonstrations, you see any photograph of those who are assembled, to be blunt, not one of the people that is demonstrating looks like a normal person, not one looks normal. They’re all deformed in some way, in their appearance, in their dress, in their mannerism. Why is that?... You look at two photographs, and you see, you know, a normal American street, you see an antifa protest. Why did the people that are violently demonstrating, why is there not one normal looking person among them? Every one of them, through the course of their life and their decisions, has scarred their body and their appearance in many different ways, to the point in which their outer appearance becomes a manifestation of their inner hatred.” Someone call his analyst. I think he’s made a breakthrough.
