I love how he keeps trolling the White House like this.
It reminds me of how I'd keep staring at my sister after she'd complain, "Mom, he's looking at me."

The trolls interfering in your countries’ democracies have names and faces. Here are some of the public-facing ones. It’s not an endless network; there are few enough that investigative and judicial authorities could start an inquiry into each one and their networks.

Leaked Federal documents show Alberta could see an exodus of talent leave for neighbouring provinces if the separation debate continues (even if it stays). Alberta gained nearly 17.5K net skilled workers in 2021. Imagine reversing that & B.C. and Saskatchewan could end up stealing the talent 🇨🇦

Well, yes, but I think the group that is against this and against what happened in Cornell are likely pretty much the same, don't you?
Everyone is appalled at the response to gang rape at Cornell. But we're okay with gangs of men, supposedly Federal agents, kidnapping people off the streets? I promise you, as soon as Trump is gone, the instances of ICE rape and sexual abuse of men, women and children will be revealed.
ICE just kidnapped a woman at LAX airport Saturday Oct 3, 12:50AM.
A community member was able to record when several ICE goons who refused to identify themselves grabbed the woman, put her into a van and then drove off.

Democratic Coalition: Not sure people realize what a fraud this man is, ran talking non-stop about lowering costs “on day one”.
He’s not only NOT done that, he skyrocketed costs further, price’s are through the roof, he mocks the problem, won’t lift a finger to solve it…

Subverting democracy isn't new to John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, or Amy Coney Barrett.
All three were on George W. Bush's "Florida Recount Team," which lay the groundwork for stopping vote counting in Florida—and Bush v. Gore, the politically-motivated SCOTUS decision that gave Bush the election.
