Farmers are concerned about tariffs

I don’t feel sorry for anyone who voted for Trump who is hurt by his policies.  He’s doing what he said he would do during the campaign.  Trump voters have forced all of us to put up with an incompetent, lying bigot.

This is an excellent article in the New York Times.  The writer got out of New York and spoke with Midwestern farmers about their concerns and the potential impact on future elections.

A majority of Canadians now have an unfavorable view of the US

 

from the article:

“As of last year, only 44 per cent of Canadians said they hold a positive view of their neighbouring country, the lowest ranking ever.

It is not a subtle drift – Canadians were overwhelmingly positive about the United States as recently as 2016, until Donald Trump’s inauguration put a majority into the anti-American column. “

Sad!

update:

 

Only 38% of Republicans see Russia as a threat

This article has polling information on how Democrats and Republicans view Russia.

Only 38% of Republicans see Russia as a threat.  What part of meddling in elections, poisoning people and hacking the power grid don’t they understand?  58% of Republicans saw Russia as a threat as recently as 2015 but they have been brainwashed by their Russian stooge leader Trump.  Since 2015, the percentage of Republicans who view Putin favorably has more than doubled.  Sad!

John Bolton – a collection of columns about him

Bolton is a war hawk and his appointment increases the likelihood of war.  He could do a lot of harm.

Even Republicans know that Bolton is dangerous.  Read here about why they didn’t confirm him as UN ambassador in 2005.

Bolton initially suggested that Russian election hacks were a false flag by the Obama administration before he walked it back somewhat.

Bolton is close with an anti-Muslim hate group.

Here are examples of his views.
