In 2016, Putin helped Trump win the election. A Russian ally - and arguably Putin's puppet - was in the White House. What influence does Putin have over the election now? I suspect a great deal: he wants his asset back so he can finish accomplishing Putin's agenda.

This morning, Time magazine published a cover story by Eric Cortellessa about what Trump is planning for a second term. Trump intends to establish “an imperial presidency that would reshape America and its role in the world.”

If Trump wins, “he could replace [Supreme Court justices Clarence] Thomas, [Samuel] Alito, and 40+ federal judges over 75 with young zealots.”

The Truth About…: Gas Prices In Canada.
Oil company profits have been accompanied by massive stock buy backs that reward investors. In either case that’s money coming out of your pocket into someone else’s. Unlike various taxes none of that money has any interest in giving back to the community.

Leaving us with more humble actions for positive change- Don’t elect Conservative politicians. Don’t follow corrupt right-wing news sources.

Trump’s Lead-Off Trial Will Determine If He Illegally Cheated To Win In 2016

The first criminal trial of an ex-president in U.S. history will decide whether his scheme to pay off a porn star was a crime designed to thwart election laws.

Anyone doubt he's guilty? Me, either.

No, it isn't Trudeau's fault. PoiLIEvre is lying to you. It's capitalist and corporate greed that's making things too expensive. Change the system, rein in the CEO pay and bonuses, pay workers fairly, and tax the f*cking rich properly.

The chances of holding former President Trump accountable in the 2016 campaign corruption and cover up case election case plus at least one of these three possible prosecutions still look good. Polling indicates that Americans would take the conviction and sentencing of Trump seriously.

Trump was ordered to pay $355 million US. What happens if he doesn't?

That's not all Trump owes. He's currently trying to pay off another $110,000 for refusing to comply with a subpoena in the civil fraud case and $15,000 for repeatedly disparaging the judge's law clerk in violation of a gag order.

Last month, he was ordered to pay nearly $400,000 in legal fees to The New York Times after suing the newspaper unsuccessfully.
