That's the kind of leadership we need here in Florida and all over the U.S,
While we are at it, aren't there Civil Service laws that require due process protections for federal employees facing discharge? I am unaware of any lawsuits challenging any of Der Mamzer's EO demanded discharges.
I’m lying in bed under mound of blankets & comforter because it’s still so cold, marveling at the ‘normalness’ of what I see and hear around me. All my stuff is still here. The furnace is humming because PECO is still functioning and restored our power from whatever happened in the night. Sounds & smells of hub fixing his breakfast downstairs. But all hell has broken loose quite literally and the fire breath & toxic drool of the chaos monster is consuming all to which it turns its ugly head. 100 miles away. We go on as if all is okay because it hasn’t yet reached this far. I’ve marched in Washington and elsewhere numerous times, protesting war, war, pipelines, and more. I stick closer to home now. This is frustrating the heck out of me. I will continue to be grit in the gears where I can, but I confess to being apocalyptically afraid.
Question... If fentanyl is flooding in from Canada, doesn't that mean that THE US BORDER AGENTS aren't doing their job in catching it? Only 3% to 5% of containers arriving by sea undergo physical inspection and less than a quarter of trucks entering the US are physically inspected. I've driven across the US/Canadian border many times and while the US agents have been generally rude as hell, they've never opened the trunk...
We're taking the train to Vancouver, BC for Victor's birthday in late April. It will be interesting to see firsthand the results. We want to bring back our favorite Canadian Whisky - Forty Creek Double Barrel Reserve. Each of us - today - can bring in 1 liter duty free... We'll see what happens by April.
You're absolutely correct that fentanyl isn't flooding in from Canada. It comes from China raw, and is processed in Mexico, although it's also being processed in large amounts in India. Very little comes via Canada. And yes, our border guards aren't doing what they are supposed to.
Decades ago, I lived in New Hampshire, and you could basically walk into Canada. Well, hike, but no border guards.
HAVE FUN celebrating in Vancouver. If the Orange Menace has his way, it will be a domestic trip, because I've heard the Trump National Sales Tax gambit is really a way to make Canada the 51st state. A**hole.

There are civil service laws. Both Democracy Forward and CREW started suits last week, and the affected unions will likely file this week.

Take the fear and turn it into action. I know it hurts, I know it's hard. But it's the only true choice we have.
Good idea!
Thanks! I thought so! I just wish I knew how to make something go viral.
BTW... Canada is Trader Joe's biggest product supplier! It will be interesting to see how their prices change...
I HAD NO IDEA!!! I better get there today and stock up!
Totally right on! I figure a 25% tariff will cost us 50% more! Idiot is so stupid
Not a tariff a Trump National Sales Tax. We HAVE to think that way all the time.
Done! And in light of the over-reach/invasion/data breaches by musk's minions, I think "Impeach Musk" is a good meme, too.
Thanks! This is the ONE thing we can pin on the Orange Menace. It's why he campaigned on -- it's not a MAGA thing -- it's exclusively HIS.
And the resistbot hasn't responded. Hmmm.
I just got through it ok.
OY VEY -- failed by technology.
