We’re just normal men

The last fellas who came from Chicago, were given a rigorous education in Catholicism and then claimed to be on a mission from God? They destroyed a suburban shopping mall, wrecked about 300 police cars and ended up in Joliet penitentiary. Just saying.

Trump looks to expand his DUI employment initiative. abcnews.go.com/US/trump-eyi...

“Trump has helped us so much for Canadian unity that I will propose him for the Order of Canada. But they told me that in Canada, you can’t give the Order of Canada to someone who has a criminal record.” — Jean Chrétien in a truly sick burn

A nice Citizen piece on Bruce Fanjoy. My favourite detail is that the victory party was at the Legion, next to Poilievre's campaign office. (The cultural position of the Legion in Canadian towns is a whole thing.)

Just saying that history suggests Liberals in Ottawa saying some variation of "just watch me" should not be underestimated.

From the other site, an old tweet of Bruce Fanjoy's from January of 2024 responding to a reply saying he couldn't defeat Pierre. It appears Fanjoy has been campaigning for at least a couple of years in Carleton.

Sound like anyone we know in the States? :wink:

Here's the lamb recipe. JUST FOLLOW IT.

If Chief Justice Roberts cares about the law, then he should invite in the US Marshals Service leadership to his office and ask them point-blank whether they will obey the Constitution, or obey Trump. @jvl.bsky.social @gtconway.bsky.social

Since we’re renamiing things, I propose we rename the desk behind which the Felon in Chief sits. From now on, it shall be known as the Dissolute Desk.

If you have the willpower and time, this is very thorough on trade tarrifs and both hard and soft targets. Suffice to say, the current situation is a shitshow of utter confusion. youtu.be/nVZ1lcw2bVU?...

Wisconsin cheese will now be required to post a warning that mixing with ketamine can lead to deranged mania. Do not operate heavy equipment or make major decisions.

My favorites so far

I would like to nominate Maxwell Smart for national security advisor.

@jvl.bsky.social with a critical call to action in @thebulwark.bsky.social from today's Triad. It's open to everyone. You have to read this. www.thebulwark.com/p/how-to-thi...

From far and wide, people love these signs

EXCLUSIVE: This just happened onstage in front of 6,000 Bostonians at the Dropkick Murphys concert. "This is America, no kings here!" @dropkickmurphys.com nails it again!!

Today is the 60th anniversary of the death of Margaret Dumont, a seasoned actress who endured every affront the Marx Brothers hurled at her as their foil. Dumont died knowing she'd be falsely accused of not getting the jokes: "That was the job, you dumb assholes," she rasped at the end. "Christ."

When Norway tells you to F-off…

A sober friend today told me he was looking forward to the release of the Epstein files bc, "I'm hoping the name of people I hate are on it" then caught himself and said, "Damn, I guess I need a meeting." He's probably gonna need some more now that it didn't get released, see ya there good buddy.

Let me translate two things this libertarian light nincompoop is saying: Personal liberties means doing whatever the fuck I want. Free markets means doing whatever the fuck I want. He’s an adult toddler.

"get in losers, we're excommunicating JD Vance"

Canadians are polite but they are not nice. They drink. And they will cut your throat. My God, how do you think they survive on the prairie?

This is a reminder that no one can convince Trump voters to no longer support Trump, better than Trump can.

Note that this is a politician from Denmark's right-wing party

Just have to say that the $Trump meme coin is a gift to all of us who are not fans of his. It’s just a matter of time until a lot of people lose money from this. I’m a crypto fan. This is not crypto any more than Madoff was just buying and selling shares of stock

My one wish for the inauguration is that there is a gift bag under the seats of Bezos, Zuck, Elon etc, with a single, embroidered , padded knee pad Need to protect themselves when they are on bended knee, kissing the ring 🤷😆

Hey @CNN, this would be a bullshit move. @jimacosta.bsky.social is one of the best & most independent voices you have. And his ratings are strong. You better not be trying to appease the way too easily offended President-elect.
