It is genuinely mind boggling to watch Donald Trump turn around and brand Canada, our closest neighbor and one of our oldest friends as 'one of the worst countries in the entire world,' simply because they stood their ground and matched his aggressive tariffs dollar for dollar.

How did we get to a place where we are actively escalating an economic war against an ally that has had America's back for generations, while simultaneously claiming we get along better with authoritarian regimes? It feels entirely backwards, if not completely reckless. Threatening our closest neighbors and treating a sovereign ally like a misbehaving territory isn’t some masterclass in negotiation; it is the needless, painful destruction of a vital relationship we cannot afford to lose

@JEliPlumbs @OrwellDay Y'all need proper representation by the Independent vote, abolish Citzens United and tighten rules on Presidential power. The Founding Fathers couldn't have envisioned this level of political exploitation. Wealth inequality will otherwise bring societal collapse.. @BernieSanders

[Brooks @BrooksGummow]

@Shannon_A_IL @POTUS @cattleguy92 The US political system does not have enough controls to combat corruption/exploitation.

Two party system
SuperPAcs
Partisan gerrymandering
Wealth inequality
Insufficient corporate regulation
Substandard public education
Anti-equality legal system

The end

@MW4Liberty States rights!! Fascinating that a former federal employee doesn't know that a POTUS can't control what a city, town or state does with its time and money. It's not unconstitutional to survail the citizenry, so just vote out the local politicians that support it!!

@CZV416 @JayGenXer And >50,000 ppl die in the US every year due to insufficient access to healthcare. Their system adds to the capitalist system of haves and have-nots.

@bradbernstein27 Stephen Miller got 10/10 and wants to change the rules. Because xenophobia.

@waitmaya @johngid12 Didn't scroll down very far to see that 31 was not picked as a the right answer.

@Curious3ntity @Chesschick01 @grok What is AOCs net worth?

[Brooks @BrooksGummow]

@slumdogcovfefe @EmmaVigeland About the same number of Americans die every year due to unaffordable health care. The "savages" are everywhere. The CIA can fix the irgc problem but the GOP doesn't truly care about that. Y'all are slaves to Mossad.

[Brooks @BrooksGummow]

@slumdogcovfefe @EmmaVigeland I think understanding how Iran became an extreme theocracy is crucially important. The slide into zealotry did not happen in a vacuum. Spewing xenophobia and empty whataboutisms does nothing to benefit the conversation. Researching Operation Ajax would be a good place to start.

@marry_ilona @mdburnell @LindseyGrahamSC Not finally, just again. Bibi had his hands in the Gulf wars too. He found willing (gullible, bribed) partners in the Bush family to do the tiding of Israel.

[Brooks @BrooksGummow]

@True_Catarian @DarthPutinKGB Trump definitely is the Kompromat in Chief. He's also a useful idiot to the Adelson family, Steven Miller and the dark money bros. The US political system is ripe for exploitation. This is what late-stage capitalism looks like.

[Brooks @BrooksGummow]

Universal health care for all Americans???

No. You get this instead.

@tanithrea @JeremyVineOn5 @jonsac @MarinaPurkiss @albieamankona @theJeremyVine ☝️ straight up facts right there. Zionism as a cultural narrative is what got us here. It must be undone.

[Brooks @BrooksGummow]

@punkinhat @cenkuygur @marklevinshow A good start would be voting Independent. Unbiased representatives could end Citizens United, gerrymandering and modify the Electoral College system. Your politics are like a football game or a super hero Hollywood movie. Politicians operate a system rigged for the elite.

[Brooks @BrooksGummow]

@boobiedoctor @PressSec Appreciate the honesty. Is there enough regret to change how you'll vote in November (and beyond)?
