For some reason, I find it oddly satisfying to refer to him that way.

I've got autocorrect trained now. As soon as I type a capital O, Orange pops up as the first selection, then Hellbeast automatically comes up as the next suggestion without my having to type a single character.

2) Putin goes after Canada.

Putin has had his eyes on everything north of the U.S. for some time. He wants a "North West Passage" for trade, which is coming sooner due to global warming. he wants all the mineral and oil rights, both on the surface, and on the ocean floor.......

Thu Feb 13, 2025, 07:17 PM
Feb 2025

I live in Alaska and I have traveled through Canada many times. As I watch in horror the fascist takeover of our government, I look admiringly toward Canada as a bastion of the values that once did make America great - bravery, compassion, honesty, etc.

Canada's response to Rump's 51st state nonsense is exactly how true Americans should respond to the takeover of our government. At this point, I'm identifying as "Canadian" and will until - if - we ever wake up and recapture our identity.

I will fight on the side of our Constitution which we all took an oath to when we enlisted.
If you don't support the Constitution, you are the enemy.
This shit is more real than all the fucking video games.
Think Ashli Babbet. FAFO!
Maga and 2025 are planning ahead. We must be ready.
Our military needs to reassure Americans and the world, that they will not follow chumps war of retribution.
I may only have one life to give for my country, but I'm not getting any younger.
