    Fuck Adam schiff. These wineries are what rich people do when they get bored just being socialites. Or they are generational wealth that has manifested in these vines.

    This hurts immigrant labor in my state, deeply, it would be the only worry I have IF TRUMP WASN’T MURDERING PEOPLE IN THE STREETS BECAUSE THEY UNLOCKED THE CHEAT CODE OF PUTTING YOURSELF DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF A VEHICLE.

    Frankly if all your energy isn’t put into stopping that shit Adam, then what the hell is the point, Canada should continue to ethically boycott the country.

      They unlocked the cheat code of lying. They’re not even actually putting themselves in front of vehicles. They’re not that brave.

      Not that it matters - the fascists loooooove being hypocrites - they revel in it - but…

      Remember how the wingnuts were positively giddy about the prospect of being permitted to run over protesters if they felt “threatened” (meaning, someone was blocking their car)? You had cops sharing memes like “All Lives Splatter” and people putting that sticker on their car, wearing the shirt, etc., gee what a knee slapper that is, hardy-har-har, what a great “dad joke” that is you guyzzz.

      Because, you know, blocking traffic is the real threat to people’s lives, etc., how dare they, of course you should be able to run over protesters.

      But in the case of ICE, you have unidentified, armed, and masked men, and, now, it is they who should be able to jump out in front of a car, and are supposed to be able to murder someone in their car?

      The only thing that is even remotely consistent here is which side the conservatives are on. Just imagine if liberals started passing bills to make it permissible to run over an ICE agent if you felt threatened, and then, liberal politicians started sharing the equivalent of “All Lives Splatter”?

      Can you just imagine the meltdown from the right, as well as the Murc’s Law Media?

        Reveling in being a hypocrite is just so fucking accurate. The act hurting any person you perceive to be against you, especially at the cost of your integrity. Because your opponent cares about integrity, and that’s just another place you can hurt them.

      Bold of you to assume Canada would accept them.

      38% of Californians voted for Trump in 2024. (34% in 2020, 31% in 2016). Canada doesn’t want those people.

      The USA has to fix its own problems. Don’t expect Canada (or anyone else) to come in and fix it for you.

        I was making a thing where I’m using Trump’s own words to showcase how dumb and out of touch he is. You shouldn’t take that statement too seriously.

        I’ve added a sarcasm marker to make it more clear.

          Conservatives got 33.74% of the vote last election. Now they’re in the awkward spot of trying to move away from being Maple-MAGA to being pro-Canada and it’s not going well for them.

            Alberta voted 92% of their seats to seditionists PCs. Take those idiots out of the equation and Canada could have a proper political landscape.

            Yeah, you wouldn’t think it would be a gotcha question to ask a Tory whethwr they support Canada’s right to exist as a nation, but here we are.

          Fucking this.

          Canada can throw it’s stones right now at trump, and the ®tarded states because they fucking deserve it. But the fact is they also have a sizeable chunk of their population that would support this same shit that’s happening down here.

          We had a hostile takeover of our media, our voting districts through gerrymandering, millions of voters literally disenfranchised, and they very likely stole the last election.

          So don’t think this same shit that happened here can’t happen north of the border. It absolutely can.

    I’m not much of a wine drinker anyway, but this boycott made me discover Quebec’s bubbly apple cider made with extra grape stuff in it. It’s 9%, dry as a desert, and very refreshing.

      Southern Ontario has several award winning wines, and they don’t all taste identical like that Mondavi swill from California.

    America won’t fucking learn until the wealthy are materially affected. We’re not quite there yet. So far the hurt is only on working class people, but like half of them still support the regime. Maybe the gas crisis will knock some sense into us. Probably not.

      because California is not a shithole red state.

      Almost 40% of Californians voted for Trump in 2024.

      California is still USA, and USA is a rogue nation led by a criminal psychopath.
      We know half of USA don’t like Trump either, but he is still your President, and the threats and destruction he wields on the world is on America as a country, not Americans as individuals. That means Trumps actions are on behalf of ALL Americans, not just the idiots that voted for him.

    Given that these wineries are likely owned by rich ass conservatives in my state. Good fucking job.
