In other news I was interviewed by two giggly Chinese women on the street for Chinese TikTok on the very incorrect subject of rating the attractiveness of PRC celebrities.

As the US girds for possible Iranian terrorist attacks, this is the person Trump put in charge of terrorism prevention. 22 years old. Recent work experience: landscaping/grocery clerk. Never worked a day in counter-terrorism. But he’s a BIG Trump fan. So he got the job. #cdnpoli

When US Republicans need to terminate their own pregnancy, magically they no longer consider it an abortion. And somehow it is the fault of "the Left" that we do.

I understand Carney has to treat Trump with the delicacy of an explosively drunk uncle at a funeral, but a time will come when we will have to stop walking on eggshells and directly call out his insane behavior. #cdnpoli

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

According to the US Iran has had a nuclear weapons program since before 1995. After 30 years I think if Iran really wanted a nuclear weapon they’d just buy one from a rogue state.

The US is great at breaking things, mostly other countries they don’t understand. Fixing things, not so much. #uspoli

It would be supremely ironic if Poilievre wins his very rural Alberta seat in the by-election, but then loses the leadership review, making him a mere MP having to do the constituency work he hates in rural Alberta for the next 4 years. #cdnpoli www.thestar.com/news/canada/...

Trump chickens out when faced with a room full of all the enemy-allies he has made for himself, and his inability to intimidate Carney. No one believes this is about rushing back to pay attention to the Middle East. #cdnpoli #uspoli
