old Soviet joke for our times: Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to. Guy says: “looking for an obituary.” Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.” Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

Reminder for those of us here in Canada: there are stooges here too.

Also just want to clarify for people who are confused by Zelenskyy’s remarks about wearing a suit- the Ukrainian (and Russian) word for suit is “костюм” which is pronounced “costume.” Suits are literally called costumes.

Just a reminder that even while being Putin’s petulant stooge and shaming our country Trump is also inevitably a liar.

As an offshoot of this thread, let’s talk about what happens if federal, state, or local officials text, email, call, or show up at your door wanting to talk to you about what you said about the President. I have a theme, a thesis, a throughline, a leitmotif, which is SHUT YOUR FUCKING MOUTH. /1

There's so much bad in this paragraph it's hard to know where to start. FAA is now controlled by Elon Musk. He's awarding himself this contract. That's not what a conflict of interest means. This is simple looting. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

This isn't about Zelenskyy, a patriot and hero. This is about an American administration penetrated and compromised by America's enemies.

Fourteen retired federal judges, including Nancy Gertner and Shira Scheindlin, argue that if Judge Dale Ho finds that DOJ's request to dismiss the Eric Adams case is part of a quid pro quo, he should reject the request and maybe appoint a special prosecutor. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

NEW: The first front pages of Saturday’s newspapers in the UK. “Ukraine Hero Ambushed” “Trump stuns world with vile rant at Zelensky” “A spectacle to horrify the world” Trump is obliterating the global reputation of the US.

GLENN: Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office. ZELENSKYY: I will wear a costume after this war will finish. Maybe something like yours. Maybe something better.

EXCLUSIVE: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth last week ordered U.S. Cyber Command to stand down from all planning against Russia, including offensive digital actions. On @therecordmedia.bsky.social therecord.media/hegseth-orde...

If any other national broadcasters are looking for debaters as to whether the US should illegally and violently annex Canada as their 51st state, I am happy to volunteer my time as the side who answers every rational, thoughtful question with "Why the actual fuck are we being balanced about this"

Cross Country Checkup!!!! WE TOLD YOU NOR TO PUT THIS NUT ON AIR. CUT HIM OFF!!!

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do. Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

This is a BORZSCHACH test, tell the good doctor what you see…

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Government spending is the reason you know who Elon Musk is. #WelfareQueen

Let' have a proactive Canadian response now: Start legislation to revoke Musk's citizenship. Impose a 10% tariff on Tesla and all Trump org products now. We can't accept the brinksmanship we just went through. Take small offensive measures now, because we all know there's a next round coming.

There is still beauty in this world

The problem hasn't changed. Regardless of today's delay, Trump's admin is arbitrarily harming Canada l so he can push for annexation. As Canadians we must stop thinking of the USA under Trump as friends: clearly no one in the US will reign in his aggression, even against their closest ally.
