Good choice for him to get on Bluesky, too.

Less absurd than a 2016 Trump presidential run.—

My understanding is that Canada is *not* seeking carve-outs or reductions. It's demanding the complete removal of these new tariffs before it even takes a seat at the negotiating table.

Ten years ago, before wokeism, this was common fare.
Conrad Black is a figurehead in this regard. So was Rex Murphy, until he died.
One funeral at a time, right? And Conrad's gittin' up there.—

Looks like a w-while read, Charlie, aftr reading the teaser sample. Me, born in 65, north of T.O, for some reason had a aversion to punk. More Led Zep/Who/Pink Floyd. Punks struck me as manic, angry and look-at-me-have-a-tantrum. Perhaps I was blind to the underlying political message...

Agree. MMT explains how, say, a federal response to a pandemic is funded (Liberal-ly) just as handily as a Wall Street bailout (Conservative-ly).
And I agree with the MMT = car analogy. It's who's behind the wheel that matters. The car is just the car. —

"If genitals dn't define gender, how does removng genitls affirm gender?"
Distinctn: Bio sex v. Gender
Bio: dick male/vulva female. (excep: 1/100k are bio hermaphrodites.)
Gender: we all know that effeminate males + masculine females exist. Some r gay. Some want dick removal/enhancement. Chill.

Entertaining that this also works for the Trump-mutated GOP.
Something to be said for this "uniparty" meme.
Have/have-not debate has a leg in the window.
