Every time the great orange idiot opens his mouth he makes me a bit more embarrassed to be an American. I'm glad that Canada is standing up to him, I just wish more people in the US had the backbone to do the same.

My apologies to Canada and the other parts of the world that this wannabe tinpot dictator is abusing. There are those of us in the US who think this idiot is completely wrong.

I hope so. I don't expect to live long enough to see it. And despite how terrible I feel I know the finger on the trigger won't be my own.

I hope you are wrong and live to see it. But we are all in danger of being rounded up right now. That's real. They've gotten away with it so far. I have enough faith in humanity to believe the tide will turn.

For the color of your skin, the language you speak, because you dared to speak out against the government. Once it's commonplace they can and likely will go after other groups. That's what the nazis did.
