1974: I am two. The US is bombing Vietnam. A Republican is president. 1990: I am 18. The US is bombing Iraq. A Republican is president. 2003: I am 31. The US is bombing Iraq (again). A Republican is president. 2925: I am 53. The US is bombing Iran. A Republican is president.

Add to that the late 80s recession and the mid 90s one (just as I graduated from college), since I’m 12 years older than the original poster…

Interesting sign in my hotel elevator!

Everyone: Wow, CybertrucKKKs are the ugliest vehicles ever! This guy: Ha! Hold my beer.

Anyways...

Dear Felon von Shitzinpantz, We will never be your 51st state. Go fuck yourself. Sincerely, Canada

Meet Evan Anzoo, a five-year-old boy in South Sudan who died when Elon Musk shut down USAID and the boy lost access to his HIV meds. Musk says no one has died because of the aid shutdown, but that's because he didn't look. RIP, Evan, you deserved better. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Overheard, two girls walking down the street: “We *know* Larry. Larry’s a hothead. Something bad is gonna happen to him!”

Canadians are removing American liquor and California wines from their store shelves.  They’re pulling back on future visits to the U.S. And they are uncharacteristically brandishing unvarnished anger over what they see as a betrayal by a longtime friend. Read more: nbcnews.to/4hpQQY8

To the shock of absolutely no one, US ideology aligns with the far-right goals of Russia and Turkey. How about becoming less Russia and more Norwegian?

So, Canadian fentanyl labs are the new immigrants eating pets, which was the new migrant caravan, which was the new Obamacare death panels, which was the new Iraqi weapons of mass destruction. Sounds about right.

Elon fires hundreds of Twitter employees and Twitter goes down. Elon fires air traffic controllers and planes go down. Elon goes on a DOGE rampage and the stock market goes down. Elon regulates his own SpaceX and its starships go down. I'm sensing a pattern.

The Monday after the clocks change is the Mondayest Monday to ever Monday.

you’re fired. wait you’re rehired. email us a list of things you’ve done today wait forget it you’re fired again. come back your job was important. you’re fired. or hired. come in to the office. wait the office has no computers go home. we are the department of government efficiency.

Well played.

Another great song from Randy Rainbow! 🌈 youtu.be/KpPIxcntxkE?...

Oooh, rainbow! 🌈

Some good advice here!

A great speech by Prime Minister Trudeau on the tariffs that were imposed on Canadian goods today. 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦 youtu.be/uOSNqaqITs0?...

Boston Globe reports antics of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem at Vermont/Quebec library that sits on Canada-U.S. border. She repeatedly stepped over taped boundary marker in middle of the library, referring to Canada as the "51st State" every time she stood in Canada.

Stand with Ukraine and against the Russian asset in the White House!

4:30 am should not exist as a time to leave the house. Off to Edmonton for the day!

Currently appearing at UK bus-stops. More of this pointed ridicule, please.

I’m okay with this!

🤣🤣🤣

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

MAGA in a nutshell: "Please only viciously hurt *other* people for giggles and kicks!!!"

Save USAID!

In shocking news, the Felon lied to voters.

Happy 60th birthday to the beautiful Canadian flag! 🇨🇦

Hilarious NYT headline: REPUBLICANS LOVE TRUMP’S SPENDING CUTS. JUST NOT IN THEIR STATES.

DUMBASS

USAID is a huge contributor to disaster responses worldwide. They are made up of extremely dedicated individuals — just impressive people. It is sad to see it end like this — so abrupt and thrown out like garbage to the street. We feel hurt deeply, and know in our hearts we were doing good.

I love this idea, and Sec. Pete is the perfect one to do it!
