I am actually furious at Rosemary Barton for not pushing back at the frankly astonishing rhetoric we are getting from Gordon Sondland. Going on Canadian TV and saying that “everything is up for negotiation” when it comes to what Canada is willing to discuss? And Barton just sits there saying “I have no opinion”?! And then saying telling us we should not take him serious because that’s Donnie’s personality after our own fucking Prime Minister has basically told us the threat of annexation is actually real?? And then talking about forcing us into a customs union or “common passport”?

Sondland was talking down on us, scolding us for taking his shitty president seriously, and Rosemary Burton was just letting him go unchallenged. What is this bullshit?

    Maybe I’m turning into a conspiracy theorist but I feel like Trump and team have been making personal threats against our (Canadian) politicians. The way they come out of those “meetings that are better kept private” (paraphrasing Dominic LeBlanc) make me uncomfortable. Something feels off. Totally not unlikely that I’m just being paranoid, but idk. I wouldn’t put it past Trump to operate like a mob boss.
