I see tomorrow is Friday. Is Friday going a tariff day, or a some-tariffs day, or a no-tariffs day? Or will it be some other kind of day, like an annex-Greenland day, or a Hannibal-Lecter-wants-to-have-you-for-dinner day, or an Arnold-Palmer-size day, or something else? I just can’t keep track.

French Senator Claude Malhuret: "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."

My favorite thing about the word "pause" is to many it means something that is reversible, whether we are talking military aid to Ukraine or expenditures in the U.S. But no, it will cost lives and create hardship. That's permanent. apnews.com/article/ukra...

Agreeing w/ @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social,the aspect of the speech that I think really will not wear well was its triumphalism. He came across as a Chaplinesque tinpot dictator, not infrequently a raving one. Greenland, Panama, Pocahontas, Biden. The sneers and the snides. A Pres only MAGA cd love

Trudeau: He has said repeatedly, what he wants is to see a total collapse of the Canadian economy. Because that will make it easier to annex us. First of all, that's never going to happen. We will never be the 51st state.
