Did I see correctly that the POTUS said, when talking to media on his plane, that “maybe we shouldn’t even be there at all”? Like, yeah, dude, you decided to start this war. The NATO treaty doesn’t require members to join you in stupid wars you start.
Will it apply to those wishing to renounce their citizenship too? Because I imagine that is going to create a challenge where the very demand is the reason one would wish to dissociate from a country that tolerates such an odious government.
Yes, I got it, but it’s hilarious to me that he kept going on and on about how Mexico was going to pay for his silly wall, but now that Canada actually has paid for a bridge, he wants to prevent it opening because, well, it appears, because he’s not getting a kickback.
Canada really did pay for that, and he _still_ doesn’t want it to open.
It’s all theatre anyway, since any time the Reeve of Ontariariario wakes up and notices Tronno has done something he doesn’t like, he passes provincial legislation to overrule it.
I agree. Everyone knows he’s not going to allow a massive catapult. Real nerds like Melon would build a trebuchet.

I had been left a little meh by @todmaffin.com’s efforts promoting Canada until today’s suggestion (youtu.be/r89f8-G5dfg) for the Carney Cup. Sublime.
It seems to me part of the challenge is that the Rs have been working to establish something remarkably like the current blow-up-the-gubmint stance that this administration is so effectively implementing. If you want to extirpate that threat, a lot of people need to be arrested & executed.
Who decided bingo was the plan? Trump’s got to be the only person who went broke running a casino, so a different gambling game seems risky. Or is it that bingo games can often get skimmed, so this is a new way to pay off the Trump family?
Hard to know how this one would work. I suppose de-Nazification might be a model.
Think of the irony if now is already the beginning of the revolution that briefly dismantles the power of the overlord class that decided to bet on Trump rather than law as the thing that would keep them in power.
For sure, but the challenge with DoJ is that everything else needs that foundation. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I think the murder of CDC is a crime against humanity. But how you put anything back together when the law is meaningless is hard to see.
I think this rather overlooks how deep that rot already was in many states.
Yes. But the _reason_ one doesn’t want to live in a failed state is the “failed” part!
Hmm, I don’t think this works. The failure to convict Trump on his second impeachment, and the successful portrayal of every prosecution of him as some political move means that doing what you suggest becomes just another step in delegitimization.
Tbh I don’t understand how the U.S. rebuilds from weaponizing the DoJ. There is simply no federal law enforcement mechanism that can possibly be trustworthy in future.
Why is @cbcnews.ca promoting WH talking points about how successful the U.S. has been in Venezuela? I mean, the beginning of all the Forever War years had lots of celebrations too. Ask W how accomplished the mission was!
Yeah, I’m definitely with ol’ Oscar on the matter of golf.
There’s an enormous number of people who think that any management job not doing direct line-supervising is a stupid waste of time where people all take 19 hour lunches after 18 holes of golf. So it’s not so such a stretch to buy this lie.
Bah. Faux News is not an Internet phenomenon. Also, the Internet was one of the only places you could get any analysis that didn’t spend all its time talking about whether the opponent of one of the most repugnant people in human history was herself “likable.”
Had to re-parse this because I read it as, “…don’t lambda any more,” and all I could think was that they barely delta.
I notice that the term some people settled on for the word for posting something on Truth Social is “to truth”. I would like to nominate this use as a new high-water mark for the Orwellianization of English.
Sinatra’s recording of “That’s Life.”
Every year, like a Canadian version of PBS, @canadaland.com runs a crowdfunding drive. I believe that the various media-support programs from the federal government are never going to work, because they are an attempt to rescue a dead business model. So I support through www.canadaland.com/join/
Good explanation. I could tell it wasn’t SAP because that couldn’t have an end point in advance.
I have learned that my gas company (Enbridge) is doing “planned online system maintenance” for the entire (CA) thanksgiving weekend. Friday night until Tuesday morning. What are they going to do? Grow the silicon? Imagine the luxury of a 3 day shutdown window!
I didn’t know there was a cemetery of shame for mimes. I thought they were shameless.
It is possible that none of that shame has actually been buried!
