On Saturday, the Prime Minister of arguably the USA's
closest ally (that, prior to this presidency) criticized President Trump's
determination to impose tariffs upon Canada. Expressing a notion which would have pleasedfascists of old, the exquisitely sensitive, politically correct President of
the United States of American condemned
the prime minister as "very
dishonest, weak." Elizabeth Preza writes
“One of the arguments was that the president can't show
weakness and what Trudeau did required this robust response otherwise the
president would appear to be weak,” (former CIA head Michael) Hayden said.
“Actually, Trudeau did not make President Trump look weak. President Trump made
President Trump look unstable, erratic and thin-skinned.”
Hayden noted U.S. and Canadian intelligence services “don't
just cooperate."
Five months ago, Donald Trump (probably accurately) stated "no regime has oppressed its own citizens more totally or brutally than the cruel dictatorship in North Korea." Now he says Kim Jong-un "hasto be a tough guy or he has been a rough person" and "loves his people." No explanation, no apology, no remorse, and no shame. We're America, bitch!

"We are, by-and-large, integrated because we have
common values and common legal systems and common strategic objectives,"
he said. Back to embarrassment — we, frankly, ought to feel a little bit
ashamed for treating such a good friend the they they were treated yesterday
from very high levels in our government.”
That's excellent and on-point. However, although Hayden isn't
particularly liberal, he invokes the leftist concept of shame
because he does not realize that the concept means no more to conservatives than the notion of asking for forgiveness from a higher power means to Trump. In commentary on Real Time Friday, Bill Maher remarked
Conservatives govern without shame, and liberals shame
without governing. We have lost- liberals- the House, the Senate, the White
House, the Supreme Court,Kanye. Our symbolic victories are the only victories
we get now. They get to cut their own taxes, rip up the social safety net, and
make coal a vegetable. We get to banish actors.
