Watch this and tell me it doesn’t remind you of how someone would talk to their senile grandpa at family gathering.

The only reason Pierre Poilievre is the "darling of the American right" is that they want a leader in Canada who will make Donald Trump look intelligent by comparison.

It takes a lot of skill to ride in a car.

Does anybody believe that Marjorie Taylor-Greene could find Canada on a map?

I like Canada fine, but I'm not sure we're compatible, what with their somewhat functioning civil society and their manners and their capacity to dress appropriately for occasions

We now confront the unprecedented problem of an unelected South African half-trillionaire holding hostage an unstable and vengeful president with a thermonuclear arsenal and a barely Republican (221-214) Congress as the rough beast of tyranny slouches toward Bethlehem. What could possibly go wrong?

President Musk is handed a defeat before he officially takes office. He is going to scold VP Trump for failing to follow through on his directives

• uspis.gov An Official website of the United States Government Here's how you know UNIIEU SIAILS PUSIAL INSPECTION SERVICE INSPECTION The Postal Service offers free tools to track specific packages, but customers are required to either register online, or initiate a text message, and provide a tracking number. USPS does not charge for these services! USPS will not send customers text messages or e-mails without a customer first requesting the service with a tracking number, and it will NOT contain a link. So, if you did not initiate the tracking request for a specific package directly from USPS and it contains a link: don't click the link!

This holiday season, the Postal Service warns of “smishing” — package tracking scams sent over text.
www.uspis.gov/news/scam-ar... It’s a funny word about an unfunny crime. Don’t click that link, folks. Thx to @racheltobac.bsky.social for boosting public awareness about this.

Now that we know that Elon spent a quarter billion dollars to get Trump elected, any dive into Why Harris Lost needs to start with "Because the richest man on earth bought the election and our shitty campaign finance laws just let him."

Canada's Conservative leaders break the bank while preaching prudence For all their talk about being fiscally prudent, Conservative politicians in Canada have more or less abandoned the idea of balancing the budget.

“Canada's Conservative leaders break the bank while preaching prudence”
Conservatives only preach empty slogans and feel-good platitudes but, in reality they are always the worst for our economy and finances. #cdnpoli #peipoli

Poilievre’s new slogan “the border is broken” reminds us that when last in government, his crew slashed border security:
*every agent that tracked child porn
*19 dog-sniffing drug teams
*fully half the intelligence agents who track terrorists and gun & drug traffickers.
Great work, Agent Anschluss.

Here's a thought.

The only impact Canada Post being on strike has made on me is that I don't have to clean the junk mail out of my mailbox.

If President Trump can remain completely sober while sexually abusing women, then that's the least we can ask of Pete Hegseth.

Pete Hegseth tells Megyn Kelly that he's being "Kavanaughed" and says the allegations against him are "made up"

(is he talking about the rape allegation he paid a settlement to hush up, or the email his mom wrote calling him out for his abusing behavior, or ... )

Joe Biden has abused the presidential pardon system.

by Paul Manafort, Roger Stone, Michael Flynn, Joe Arpaio, Dinesh D'Souza, Bernie Kerik, Scooter Libby, Steve Bannon, and Charles Kushner

Recession, definition: Two successive quarters of negative economic growth as measured by GDP. The last recession in Canada was Covid-related (2020-1), before that (2008-9) the financial crisis. Both were global, or at least exogenous. /2 #cdnpoli

The Hunter pardon thing is a reminder of a theme that runs throughout media, social or otherwise:

"Democrats must always set a good example for Republicans to ignore."

The Kash Patel Principle Trump’s choice for FBI director speaks volumes about his real second-term agenda

My piece on Patel is up. (Gifted here. Thanks, Bluesky folks.)

You too can extort your family with prostitutes, get convicted of a felony for doing that, then become a US Ambassador, like Charles Kushner is gonna do.

Only in Trump's America.

PATHETIC.

....and there is this too, he wanted a GST holiday for the summer and it was ok then too, but now it is not, Canadians, do you get it yet, he is a lying f'g hypocrite, he will screw you over in a heartbeat, he doesn't care, Poilievre is a power hungry freak #NeverConservative

And some Albertans might remember brownouts caused by Enron experimenting with AB’s deregulated market. The experiment was called Project Stanley (after the Cup). And then there’s this UCP incompetence: www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Done

I had come to the point where I didn't bother with the comments on most of my X posts any more.

Sounds like perfect AG material.
