Saw this from the New Yorker from 50 years ago. Isn't it funny how historical criminals repeat themselves

You don't "not recall" telling DOJ lawyers to say "fuck you" to court orders. You either remember saying it, or you remember that you definitely didn't say it. Emil Bove saying he doesn't recall means he definitely said it, and there's a roomful of people that can testify to it.

AOC: I am, as a public servant, completely financially divested of any conflicts of interest. Are you? RFK JR: Yes AOC: You have no financial interest in any lawsuit, crypto? RFK JR: Oh, crypto? I own bitcoin.

I'm still not over yesterday's obscene SCOTUS decision that our government can deport people to prisons in countries they're not from. How is anyone walking around going about their day?

“Alberta's auditor general has been granted his request for nearly $1 million in extra funding to dig deeper into allegations around overpriced private health care contracts and possible government interference.” #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

The only reason local government hater Ford hasn't abolished school boards entirely & taken direct control is so he can claim things like lack of books & kids passing out from the heat resulting from his 7 years of starving them of funding aren't his fault. #onpoli #topoli

Just a reminder to CBC PnP viewers that Lisa Raitt trying to pin Brexit on Mark Carney is pretty rich when her party leader and Harper fully supported Brexit. #cdnpoli www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore. Make it make sense.

Carney’s response to the US’s unprovoked bombing of Iran was “tactful” and diplomatic. Fine. They are still threatening us with annexation after all. But, if the Canadian govt starts leaning towards active support of Trump’s bullshit that’s a hard fuck off with that shit imo.

How do I keep cats off the counter? Don't bother trying.

For those following Bill C-5, MPs broke it up into two votes. The first, on the internal-trade elements, passed with only Elizabeth May voting against. The more contentious part, on building more bigger faster, is opposed by May, the BQ and the NDP, but is still sailing through.

CBP is holding children in harsh, jail-like conditions for prolonged periods of time. One toddler was separated from her father and held with her mother at a border facility for 42 days. Children belong with their families at home — not in detention.

Blaming the Liberal government for raising prices and not Corporate greed....is helping corporate greed get away with it. We see which side CPC are on. #cdnpoli

When the famine hits, who will they blame?

If you think attacking a nation will liberate it from extremists, just look what happens when the U.S. gets attacked. Our civil liberties go out the door while the government claims emergency powers.

Everyone listening to him has always been in danger of a reduction in IQ.

Love the Anne of Green Gables reference.

Since it is Juneteenth, I will share a lil something... My ancestors were slaves in Texas & were freed on June 19, 1865. They came together to meet with other ex-slaves & formed the Limestone County 19th of June Organization. They bought 30 acres of land on Lake Mexia.

The hallmark of eugenics is the cornerstone of fascism. Often forgotten amidst all the "first they came for" posts, is who the nazis actually came for first: the disabled. Learn more, get involved in the fight. Disability Justice starter packs: blueskystarterpack.com/disability-j...

Full on invasion of Israel?

G7 Summit in Canada.

HAPPENING NOW: A Ninth Circuit panel hears arguments on whether President Trump had the authority to federalize the California National Guard—and whether Judge Breyer's order blocking him from doing so should be stayed during appeal. 🧵

I wrote this four days ago. Today, they arrested the NYC Comptroller.

The wink 😜 They are thrilled he left. He is an embarrassment to America🤡 #cdnpoli

Canada named most positive leader on world stage

Mr. Antiwar President has us inches away from a Civil War at home and a nuclear war abroad in defense of an ally that is starting random hot regional wars to detract from its ongoing genocide. I’m sure all of this will just naturally cool off.

Trump's #G7 humiliation summarized. After a disastrous birthday with millions of people protesting him and a military parade with low turn out and mediocre marching, an embarrassed Donald Trump embarked to Canada for the Group of Seven summit.

this is gold 🤣. the political clarity is unmatched. i need the daily digest.

When Trump finally dies there will be calls for civility and “respect for the office” from even his harshest critics and I’m telling you right now I plan on saying things so harsh they might knock the earth off its axis

BAY OF PIG: Trump fires Democratic commissioner of independent agency that oversees nuclear safety. This seems safe as we see the rumblings of WW3. apnews.com/article/nucl...

Canada PM Carney stops Trump from going into one of his signature fascist rants against "blue" cities: "Let me exercise my role as G7 chair" #G7

Trump has fled Canada in shame, he couldn't handle the pressure of world leaders using multisyllable words during the G7 and became angry when they condemned Israel for its illegal war on Iran. Rumors are swirling that the US is about to formally enter the Israel-Iran war.
