NAFTA

Because Trump has the best words, rappers who complain about their tax bills do have political preferences and endorsements, because gangsta. “All I gotta say is Trump 2020 b*tch.” x In Michigan, Trump gives a shout-out to Lil Pump, calling him “Little Pimp.”— Josh Wingrove (@josh_wingrove) November 3, 2020 x pic.twitter.com/SdG6wbKYYw —...

Ricin attacks against the WH seem more routine rather than random and their origins do seem to follow ideologies more worried about the extremism within the White House, although why would Canadians want to harm POTUS. Darn that NAFTA 2.0. The most recent example just happened, when a ricin envelope was sent...
