Saskboy's Abandoned Stuff: Republican President Tells Supporters To Vote Twice
Trump asked his supporters to commit a major crime, months after saying anyone who said what he just did, would make any Republican feel ill. Major newspapers barely mentioned the scandal. (Side note, if you look way way way way down there in the bottom right corner of WaPo today

It’s hard to deny that the Sask Party could be a cult. I'm trying to think of a scenario where your Conservative supporters would not vote for your candidates. You could probably kill someone, go bankrupt, and increase air pollution and they'd still vote for you.Oh, wait, they will because

Imagine an Alberta government not under investigation for election fraud? One that doesn’t fire tens of thousands during a pandemic so Ottawa can pay them instead?

Controversial is a code word for “racist”. That’s according to multiple tweets by the Leader-Post in Regina, Saskatchewan.
