Timing on this is absolutely not coincidental.

Do these people really fucking think that this is going to improve Poillievre's chances in the general tomorrow? Apparently so.

It will not end well for him.

Nobody hears about Rex Tillerson these days. Even the Wikipedia page has no info about his doings since his dismissal in 2018. His successor Mike Pompeo has bumped around since 2020 without much distinction.

larger than his fucking Dumbo ears…he’s always been a lying opportunist and a hypocritical dolt. What else is new? His fascist nature becomes truer with each new utterance. No, little Marco, Canada will NEVER become a 51st state. Canadian citizens are not nearly as stupid as so many in this country.

He pretended to be a refugee to garner in the anti-Castro votes. And his last name means "blond".

Agent Orange's taunt about a 51st state is because of what Trudeau said. That's the message because Donald Trump is NEVER responsible for anything including his own words.

Trudeau made him do it. He was merely joking, speaking figuratively about solving the Ukraine/Russian war in 24 hours. He knows nothing about immigrants disappeared off American streets. His 'people' told hm the Supreme Court had ruled in his favor in the Garcia case. Egg prices are not only cheaper, they're too low now. He's making America richer with his tariffs. Yada, yada.

As for Rubio? He has the chant down perfectly because the man sold his soul to The Destroyer.

Justice matters.
