I had a friend whose dad literally had a whiskey flask hidden in his office bookshelf. Inside a fake book.

Yeah, I guess it always was a fixture of the front room liquor cabinets of little old ladies.

You can't blame him for being eager. Every time there's a recession, billionaires manage to double their worth.

Canadian Club Whiskey. Best whiskey ever.

Every time the U.S. elects a lunatic demagogue, Canada sees a small talent benefit. I was born in Canada because my father (a university Professor) was chased out of the United States by McCarthyism. Trumpism will probably dwarf that brain drain.

That lecture hall will always be one of my fondest memories of SFU. I didn't see Bob McDonald there, but I did see Jack Webster give a great talk there in 1984.
At the end of the talk, he asked the audience of students: "Any future journalists in the audience?" (Silence) "Not a ONE!"

If I were Trump, I'd stop making card game analogies. (You haven't got the cards!) It might remind people that he was the only businessman in history to be so inept as to actually manage to bankrupt a casino.

Let's join the EU, and start building Saabs here. (Including the Saab Gripen. You can buy three Gripens for the cost of every overpriced F35. Sweden has offered to let them be built in Canada by Canadians; and I doubt they'll feature a secret "off switch" in the Pentagon.)

Agreed, as long as the (pathetic) legacy media ALSO mentions the fact that the only reason he's talking about this is to distract peoples' attention away from Elon Musk looting the Social Security trust fund.

When Trump phones a reporter to tell her what he's 'thinking,' you know its Kabuki theatre. (Did he use the name 'John Barron?')

Did you see The Madness of King George (1994)? It was amusing, but I'm not enjoying the sequel!

Republican donors have a 50 year history of putting morons in the White House, thinking they could control them. They should have learned their lesson with Bush 2.0 and Trump I.0. But any business advisor who boosted a Trump 2.0 is a world class idiot.

OFFS, could we not just mail THIS paper to every one of these people, and hope they read the abstract, at least?

NO CAPS LOCK, no spelling errors, NO EXCLAMATION POINTS!!!!, and No Un-Necessary Capitalizations?
He obviously didn't write that. It was a staffer. Wait until 2am this morning, when his meds start wearing off.

I'm pretty sure Orange Caligula will pardon them if they get in trouble. However, they should be worried that he might not remember to sign the papers. He's easily distracted.

Looked it up. Thanks for the tip. (I put a deposit on an ElecraMeccanica Solo in 2016, waited five years, and nothing happened. That was a little disappointing, but I'm still willing to take a chance on Canadian companies!
We've got Bombardier, and we used to have AVRO (ie Arrow).

Can we not found a Canadian car company? Sweden has ONE QUARTER the population of Canada, and they have two home-grown car companies (Volvo and Saab), and one of those car companies also makes fighter jets (The Gripon).
If Sweden can do it, why can't we?

That's the look of a guy who just swallowed a bite of his sandwich, and suddenly realizes he didn't take the cellophane off the cheese first.

Why did they make Trump look like Nikita Khrushchev in a cheap blond wig? (Maybe they had an old socialist-realist Khrushchev STENCIL laying around someplace?)

In reality they're scared to cross about 30 million heavily armed dim-wits that are members of the Trump. Rather than admit that, they use cognitive dissonance to convince themselves it's for the tax cut; and that, despite all the evidence to the contrary, trickle-down economics really works.

Honestly, I think we could have forgotten it in a few years after the first term. But when they re-elected Trump, it became obvious that this could be a regular thing. That calls for a permanent realignment of allies. EU, here we come!

Ironically, shooting bullets at them actually helps to hold them together.

My favorite scene from Touch of Evil. In the next scene, as Vargas is tailing him around, they should have jump cut in a few scenes from the bullfight that he was watching on TV.
