More examples that the GOP has gone so far right it is now left. Trump wants rich corporations to swallow the tariffs. In other words, he believes if a company is making record profits they should pay more in taxes to the government and NOT pass that on to consumers. #trump #tariffs #walmart

My rules for living: 1. If someone says "we don't like your kind around here", leave. 2. If someone offers to put gravy on something, always answer in the affirmative. 3. Don't run for public transit unless it's the last train of the night. 4. Don't play your scratch tickets in public. #dignity

The terrifying thing is if there is a new Satanic Panic during this Trump administration, the FBI won't be the voice of sanity and skepticism. They will be rounding people up for having a sulfer symbol tat or wearing an ankh as jewellery. #satanicpanic #satanpanic #trump

In North America we call it a "two for one" deal. Korea doesn't do the math for you and calls it a "one plus one". They trust you can add those two numbers and come up with the correct answer. #southkorea

The biggest surprise Gen X has experienced so far is how old we all got. I'm pretty sure we were young, man. We were feral kings. The world was our neighborhood, there for us to prowl & dominate until the streetlights came on. Now we are being offered senior's discounts before our time. Sigh. #genx

In Canada we had a choice. Vote for the guy who knows how to keep major economies from collapsing into a depression or the guy who knows how to keep his government pension. We chose the latter. #CanadaElection #MarkCarney

Daughter and I dropped our dog off at the vet. I accidentally wrote 2056 as the year on the consent form. I let the vet know this mistake. I quipped "We're the father and daughter team from the future. One word of advice. Invest in zinc!" I don't think she got the #BarneyMiller ref.

Cons had a choice between PP & OG PC Jean Charest who even Liberals have a hard time not liking. But they chose the haters instead of a curly haired version of Carney. If Carney is slightly right of center, Charest is just slightly more right of Carney. #CanadaElection #JeanCharest #MarkCarney
