Mark Carney? I ask what experience can he offer Canadians? Sure he's been successful for decades in the private sector. But how does that help him find the Parliament Hill cafeteria? Pierre can do that. And how many bills has Mr Carney passed in the last 20 years? None. That's ONE less than Pierre.

#ICYMI: Speaker Mike Johnson lives in a $3.7 million D.C. townhouse with evangelical pastor Steve Berger, who has attacked the separation of church and state as “a delusional lie." Berger's project: ministering to members of Congress so that what “they learn is then translated into policy.”

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory. Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

It's all about power and propaganda. The Trump White House wants to assert power over the press corps; push the White House Correspondents' Association out of the picture; and promote media outlets that provide sycophancy, not scrutiny.

States control presidential elections. Blue states should make clear now that Trump will not be allowed on the ballot.

Elon Musk called Social Security a "Ponzi scheme." Another billionaire in the cabinet said only "fraudsters" would complain about missing Social Security checks. Tell that to the 73 million Americans who rely on the Social Security they earned from a lifetime of hard work.

Just emerged from my 1-L CONLAW course where we discussed whether a President can serve a third term and, if not, how that prohibition might possibly be enforced. You know, the ordinary grist for the CONLAW mill. Ho hum.

The $ spent on US elections is wack. Appx 5.5 Billion (billion!!!) in 2024 races. For comparison in Canada, last elxn each party had a $30mil limit. Only 4 reached around that. Total overall was circa 172 Million (22 parties ran campaigns).

Does anyone else find it odd that the felon won all 7 battleground states? That the Dems didn’t even give a semblance of questioning the outcome? Voter suppression, gerrymandering, rejected ballots etc etc Or is it just me…

Honestly, I’d be hard-pressed to get upset about deporting actual gang members to a distant prison. I have friends who’ve lived in areas where gangs are present. It’s terrifying. I wouldn’t lose sleep over violent people being removed from a community. But that’s not what’s happening.
