A good timeline of the Drump/ Canada lunacy

More GOP Bullshit
https://www.denverpost.com/2025/03/11/lauren-boebert-pimp-cane-al-green-resign/
The GOP would never apologize, step down, or show any contrition for anything they would say or do. The feckless leadership of the democrats rolled over on this guy afterwards.

Democracy dies a little more now

This November, it’s all too possible that Trump will eke out an Electoral College win thanks to widespread voter suppression. If he does — or even if he wins cleanly — everything we’ve seen suggests that he will use a second term to punish everyone he sees as a domestic enemy, and that his party will back him all the way. That is, America will do a full Hungary.

I think this is a fact, not a possibility.

Make the numbers better
Well this will certainly lead to less reports, and more cases like this going un-noticed or not investigated.

At that point the administration appears to have finally realized that it might need to do something beyond insisting that things were great. But according to The Washington Post’s Greg Sargent and Paul Waldman, it initially proposed paying for a virus response by cutting aid to the poor — specifically, low-income heating subsidies. Cruelty in all things.

Dollars over People
https://truthout.org/articles/trump-wants-to-inflict-severe-pain-on-disabled-community-just-because-he-can/
No one should be really surprised at the level of Trump's empathy here. The dollar is the most important thing in our society so we should do everything we can to screw people over.

and the barr goes on
Clear Goal of Barr/Durham Probe is to Scare Off Intelligence Community.
https://www.justsecurity.org/67457/clear-goal-of-barr-durham-probe-is-to-scare-off-intelligence-community/
Is Barr's distrust come from an earlier rejection by this community? Is this his petty revenge?
"Last month, media outlets reported that Barr’s investigation had become acriiminal one."

Also more interesting if this ends up being true. My guess is if it is true, then it will never get released and will be swept up under the rug.

Despite the profane Stone texts and caustic friendships that have dominated chatter about the case, the Republican provocateur’s court battle will likely be remembered for something far different: It revealed that Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign aides knew more about WikiLeaks’ plans than they have let on, and the president may have later misled Robert Mueller about it.
Buried amid days of blasphemy and bombast were quieter new details that collectively showed Trump and his aides discussed WikiLeaks with Stone months earlier than anyone has acknowledged. The revelations have immediately raised questions about Trump’s claims — made months later under oath to the special counsel — that he did not recall any such conversations with Stone.

Republican strategy

And we knew this
https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2019/10/why-donald-trumps-economic-dream-crumbled/601153/
Donald Trump’s signature legislative achievement was the corporate-tax cut he signed in 2017. Republicans said it would grow the economy by up to 6 percent, stimulate business investment, and pay for itself.
None of those promises have come to pass. GDP growth has declined to less than 2 percent according to the latest report, released yesterday. Business investment has now declined for two straight quarters, dragging down economic growth. And the federal deficit exceeds $1 trillion.
The U.S. manufacturing sector is practically in a recession. The ISM index, a key measure of that industry’s health, registered its lowest number in 10 years.
The answer, basically, is that while the Trump can’t deliver, the American consumer continues to chug along. Consumer spending, which was the one bright spot in yesterday’s GDP report, beat forecasts by rising nearly 3 percent. Unemployment is at a 60-year low, and wage growth has accelerated for the poorest workers. (Ironically, these positive trends have been buoyed by large federal deficits, which break another Trump campaign promise.)

Is Drumpf paying bribes now?
https://www.politico.com/news/2019/10/31/trump-impeachment-senators-donor-062084
Normally, I would say this is just the head of his party helping vulnerable members during an election cycle. But this particular cycle has a lot of agendas hidden from view. Like, for example, is Trump now buying support in the Senate to fight impeachment?
"""
On Wednesday, the Trump reelection campaign sent a fundraising appeal to its massive email list urging donors to provide a contribution that would be divided between the president and Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner, Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst, and North Carolina Sen. Thom Tillis. Each of the senators are supporting the anti-impeachment resolution despite being endangered in 2020.
