  1. *States rights federalism is very important‼️ But Trump doesn’t understand the real meaning of State’s Right and why it’s so important to our democratic republic. Nothing could be more important to states rights than the general police powers of each state. To have one person be able to send in the military to Police a state (based solely on what he wanted to do and under his sole direction) is disastrous. That’s how tyranny could start.*

    1. Until he resigns for one day, makes Pence the President and Pence pardons him for his criminal behaviour. Far fetched, but still a slight possibility. Either way, I hope never to live through something like this again.

    2. @The Watcher
      I don’t know if you can pre-emtively pardon someone. Don’t the have to at least be charged first? Sincere question.
      My guess is that if it came down to it, they’d allow the pardons to stand, just to save the country from the chaos that a Trump trial could precipitate.

  2. Canada has a new record – not able to produce a budget in over 18 months. How’s Budget 101 going CF?…or even better, where is our assistant Finance Minister, Mona Fortier? (aka Minister of Middle Class Prosperity) What’s she up to for her $264,000.00 per year???
