Bothered Boy

Florida Republican Matt Gaetz is in the news again, this time for allegedly having a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old girl. Between this, helping incite violence, threatening other people, lying, his DUIs, and his alleged ethics violations, how on Earth does someone so terrible have such a cushy job?

Doug Ford and his Progressive Conservative government of Ontario continue to lie, redirect, and misplace blame when they are the ones largely responsible for the state of affairs. There's a reason why #FordVaccineFailure​ is trending. What a shameful and embarrassing state of affairs...

So much to be bothered by this week. There's delusional KHive, police failure in Brighton, the housing market in Ottawa, an NFT, the failure of the Public Health Agency of Canada, and Missouri Republicans...

As for Georgia making it illegal to hand out food and water, I brought attention to that problem three weeks ago:

And there's so many more I didn't thank here. Again, there's literally thousands of you and words cannot fully express how much I appreciate all of you for being here, supporting this channel, and other leftist content creators. ❤️❤️❤️

So for starters, I love the memes. But instead of the hilarity of a stuck ship, workers should use this as a learning opportunity for strike actions moving forward. The ILWU showed one way of how to do so in support of Juneteenth last June.

In her own words: "Every year there's this one day in the spring where I go outside without a coat in a populated area and get the first catcall/street harassment of the season. Like hearing the first birds of spring. The first douchebag of spring is my Groundhog Day." This is a problem.  Here's a link to donate to a variety of women's shelters: https://www.canadahelps.org/en/donate...

Person who benefitted from identity politics is against identity politics...

There's so much to this story, and so much related to mass shootings, mental health, right-wing hypocrisy, left-wing talking points, factors at play, and even other frightening stories and statistics being drowned out by this story that I needed to talk about all these things. Both sides of the political spectrum aren't going to like some of what I have to say here.  

There have been seven mass shootings in seven days:

So it turns out that the RCMP destroyed records of police communications from the night Colten Boushie died and conducted a parallel internal probe into the handling of the case without notifying the civilian watchdog CRCC. The RCMP continues to face allegations of brutality and sexual assault. They also stood by and did nothing while innocent Mi'kmaq fisherman were attacked by angry white fishermen last year. Maybe it's time to #AbolishTheRCMP​...

Ask, and ye shall receive. Here's the first "Sunday sum up" video about all the other stories that bothered me this week that I didn't make a video about. There was a lot to be bothered by this week...
