Prime Minister Jean Chrétien has it right. Donald Trump is a grave threat to democracy who disregards the rule of law while engaging in blackmail on a daily basis.
Most journalism south of the border refers to this process as Trumps norm breaking. The euphemism is wholly inadequate to describe what is really going on. Trump is not norm breaking, he is law breaking.
Why do I have to go to a Canadian site to see this laid out? Why does the American media hate America and Americans? They can't ALL be fucking threatened or paid off.
Just think if only some of this article was written/spoken in the US major mass media. It would do at least 2 things: cause the MAGA people to lose their minds and get violent, like they do. And it would reach a whole lot of non-political people in America who would be absolutely shocked.

The rat Rupert M didnt start he destruction of the US Press, when he bought his slice of the Media Monopoly, but he sure accelerated the destruction of the only business mentioned by name in the entire Constitution.

As usual. Thanks for all of your truth posting over the years at DU, Kid. Been reading for a long time.
I respect your thoughts so let me ask:
Why aren't there any REAL leftist radicals in America right now?

(24,374 posts)Big Money has historically infiltrated any liberal organization with weight, meaning size of membership or strength of ideology. Acting as loyal supporters, the insidious hired turd swarms act in concert to take positions of leadership and do all they can to maintain the status quo.
Its not just taxes they fear. Democracy is their kryptonite.
When the people get angry and unify to throw the bums out, a campaign is created that sows doubt and division among the people. In Italy, for example, the government was on the verge of enacting socialism progressive policies in the 1970s, so Propaganda-Due (P-2) described in the Western press as a Masonic Lodge created as a left-behind network to fight the commies should the USSR overrun NATO, pretended to be part of the Leftist movement. P-2 agents planted an enormous bomb in the Bologna train station and killed 73 and injured hundreds of innocent people. In addition, P-2 kidnapped and murdered the liberal democratic Italian PM, Aldo Moro. The people voted for strong law-and-order government that respects private property, especially cash.
Now disbanded, P-2 exists in various forms throughout the free world. Funny thing, they always protect the interest of the wealthy and their property. Look out, Venezuela, youre on top of their oil.

(30,178 posts)And I've seen lots of this discussion in American alternative news sites. You're comparing apples to oranges saying you have to go to Canada to get the "true story" of what's happening. Midas Touch Network, Democracy Now!, The Nation, Pro Publica, and many more are doing exactly this type of reporting.
