Interference and treason from within needs to be dealt with in an extreme fashion.

They can't get it through the Senate unless several Democrats agree to vote for it, which I don't see happening.

I honestly don't think they care too much about the midterms. Obviously Republicans would rather win, but they've already centralized so much power in the Executive Branch that a Democratic congress isn't going to be much of a counter to that as long as the judiciary remains compliant. Particularly with how weak the Democratic party seems to be during crises. For instance, ICE is at its most hated right now, and yet they happily passed an extension for their funding without introducing any real restrictions or limitations on their authority.

And for 2028, if Republicans are willing to go full fascist (which they almost assuredly are, absent something dramatic happening), then there's really no viable way for a Democratic President to take office regardless of the election outcome. The main hope would be people fearing legal consequences should the scheme fail, so maybe they won't be too blatant about it, but I'm not sure they're too worried about that.

It's not just women, it's everyone. It's designed to suppress voter turnout across the board. It just has a nice extra wrinkle for married women in particular. Like a cherry on top, if you will.

Why do you think the Dems happily passed an extension to fund ICE? Aren’t the people protesting ICE primarily Dem voters?

Canada should make a statement. This is political interference beyond the pale.

I deliberately left it open to a lot of options. They could grab Jeb, but that's probably too easy.

His face, Hassett’s face, and Johnson’s make me want to do things I never thought I’d want to do. But they may actually like it from what I hear.

Cool. Let's start promoting California separation. The numbers supporting it there are about the same as in Alberta, or even higher by some reports. Let's get some Doug Ford ads going.

Hawaii too which was illegally annexed. Don't they still actually have a king? We should offer them a government in exile. Let's take this stuff up a notch.

I would love to see a presser where Carney meets with Newsom, shakes hands, and they co-announce a new, massive trade deal bewteen Canada and California. In the presser, Newsom and Carney send out invites to New York, Illinois, Massachusetts, Washington and Oregon as the next phase of the trade pact. I understand CUSMA exists, but whatever - this would drive the orange siht gibbon insane.

At what point are some of these Alberta separatists engaging in treason? As a legal normie, I just find this all to be so egregious. I hope authorities are keeping tabs and building a case.

I'm glad this attracting the attention of our mainstream media.

Just stick it in my veins!! Newsom cracks me up so much, I love how he holds up a mirror to those MAGA buffoons. It's the only way to deal with them these days it seems.
