Terminator Trump Must Be Toppled Now

And now, keying off Trump’s Canadian ad tantrum, the Wall Street Journal has mocked the president for claiming “he’s not ‘a king,’ but on tariffs he is acting like one, and without a proper delegation from Congress as the Constitution requires.”

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.”

Before democracy fails, there is an intermediate step that any would-be dictator like Trump must take: the dismantling of the rule of law. The supreme law in the U.S. is the Constitution. Though he swore an oath to uphold it at his inauguration, Trump has since worked assiduously to upend it.

Most journalism south of the border refers to this process as Trump’s “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.

CBC may have to go Radio Free America, for the nation to survive.

The rat Rupert M didn’t 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?

On edit: I know that ICE is attacking people

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.

And if they’re not right wing, they’re doing their obtuse, false equivalence-both sides shit. It’s totally disgusting.

If they are lacking funds I'd be more than happy for them to pass a hat so I can chip in some $$$.
