Swing and a miss on Ukraine
Swing in a miss on the Middle East

It costs more to fight back against Trump's regime than they would make selling newspapers.
The accountants are the morality police.

So many words.
At some point people are going to have to wake up. Trump has gutted every institution and whipped every company to toe his line through a threat of force, violence or punitive damages.
Following the rules doesn't work when you're dealing with people who face fuck the rules for fun.

"Ok Google, can you translate from Tiny PP to English?"
"Ok, sure.
Translation, if you've moved to Canada in the last 30 years, you aren't a "long standing Canadian".
Which means you're most likely
- White
- European descent
- only speak English
These are racist tropes."
"Thank you, Google."

This behaviour has been normalized for decades.
Just look at Cops.
Ride with the police, get a sanitized view on how they do their job. In turn, producers turn a blind eye to how they ACTUALLY do their jobs.
Americans have been spoon fed police state propaganda for over 37+ seasons.

The American contribution to victory was the lend lease program and industrial capacity.
By 1943, the Russian army had already decimated the Wehrmacht and was in the process of prepping to push them back to Germany.
Post Normandy, the US contribution was preventing Stalin from conquering Europe.

Considering MAGA brain rot, he's probably happy with being in a detention center. From his wonky perspective, "The system works".
Same as the guy whose wife was picked up by ICE. His response? He just shrugged and said "oh, well".
These people have no connections to anything other than MAGA.

- you're a face in a mob of people you don't know you can trust
- the smell
- the noise
- the cost (stupidly expensive to live)
- the lack of light
- unfamiliar landscape
- traffic is unbearable
- visible homelessness
The list goes on. Crime is just a sliver of what rural people hate about cities.

I used to live in a medium sized town that had explosive growth. It went from a "nice clean" place to live to an urbanized, overpopulated hellhole.
People always use crime as their point of reference as a reason cities suck.
The reality is, rural people hate cities because:

How much power does a single AI data center take to operate?
Now consider that the whole planet was going to start using AI for everything.
We're (literally) going to burn everything to the ground for AI slop.

I'm sure it sounds better in its original 1936 German.
Hitler was much better at delivering oratory prose than Steven "cuckold" Miller.

Agreed.
Just because they weren't the wanker, doesn't mean they should get a blank cheque for being the "wanker-light".

Small correction -
If you have $100 to pay for $100 worth of goods, and later that year you have $94 (revenue shortfall) to pay for $110 (inflation) worth of goods, your purchase power has been reduced by 14.6% short to purchase your products.

The main culling was two years ago and it's finally caught up in the market.
Factor in interest rates, grain price increases, increases in cost of production, a bit of monopoly price gouging and tariffs, and your beef is suddenly a gold plated commodity.

US herds are being culled due to drought, creating price pressures across the US.
Good overview of the situation here.

Thank god they stopped these people before they built a house, planted a garden, fixed a roof or painted a room.
Who knows what Americans would have done if their neighbourhood suddenly looked better.
(I swear, these racist a**holes are lazy and jealous and it's the only reason they do this).

We should trace back the date that the missiles were redirected and the date that Russia ramped up their attacks.
I'll bet there is an overlap.
comment in response to

I made the same point earlier today.
Protests everywhere, drain Trump's resources, cripple his ability to govern.
You can't govern an unruly mob who doesn't want to be governed, especially if your means of production are owned by that same mob.

I'm guessing, based on their current behaviour over vaccines, that it will be any instrument with a bell. 🙂

Yeah, that's the down side.
For most Americans it's going to become a luxury, to not live in fear of the measles.

Maybe Democrats shouldn't have confirmed any of Donald Trump's Flying Circus.
I get it, you were trying to play "nice" but let's be realistic, NONE of his picks are competent at anything.

I believe Americans can get vaccines in Canada, though it might come at a cost since you're out of country.

I'm pretty sure the LAPD has been using the same tactics going back to the civil rights movement.
60 years later and the only thing that's changed is the uniform.
Then they wonder why NWA released F*** tha Police and wore shirts that said "LAPD. We treat you like a King".

Considering the rate of change, it's about +10 PPM / 2.8 years.
Add permafrost melt, Amazon deforestation, wildfires, etc. I'd expect feedback loops to accelerate that to +10 / 2.4 years.
What that means is that somebody born today would see it increase 300 ppm in their lifetime. 😬

Carney is going through the process of rapidly detangling Canada from the US economy.
If the US bothers to show up, I guess they will be there to witness all of the exes getting together to start a new party without them?
Sounds like it could be an awkward meeting if Donald shows up.

Bots give you the affirmation you need to continue doing a crappy job and reinforce you when you "go down the rabbit hole".
Meanwhile, at the cash register, sales are down year over year because bots don't read the news.
Funny how that works.

Democrats (in general) have been way too quiet and wishy washy about what's going on. Their attitude has been "if it's not hurting us directly, we are going to say anything".
The best example was Booker. Big speech, votes for a Trump appointee anyways.
All show, no go.

The LAPD has been doing that for decades.
Go back to the civil rights era and watch how "civilized" they are. Only the uniforms have changed in 60 years.

Everyone I know has cancelled their trips to the US or rerouted their flights in such a way that they don't have to pass through the US border / security services.
After watching the shit show in CA, it's becoming clear that EVERYONE should bypass the US.

Exactly.
The Holocaust Museum / Monuments have nothing to do with Gaza / West Bank.
These memorials to there to remind us NOT to act like the Nazis, a lesson currently falling in deaf ears across the world.
This vandalism just reminds us how stupid some people are.

Bad response.
Corporate reporters should be brought here for the express purpose of discourse and education.
Shunning them and sending them back to X does nothing but reinforce their opinion that BlueSky is an echo chamber that doesn't want discourse.

Love that paragraph.
Replace Gestapo with ICE and change a few cultural references and it's word for word what ICE is doing.

Or the country to walk out and cripple the economy.
Something big.
And yes, we're all waiting for this to happen. We saw it in the 60's, it ended poorly for Nixon, and we're expecting the same for Trump.

an external intervention to try and fix the problem.
If the US invaded Mexico or Canada, you can be guaranteed it would stop being an internal issue in short notice.
Right now we're all watching with baited breath, waiting for somebody from the NRA to call Trump a tyrant and raise arms.

To be fair, the fascists in Europe were busy murdering millions of people and sinking American ships.
It was bad for business globally.
Trump is currently trying to conquer the US. We aren't "tut tut, fix it yourselves", it's more of a situation where your country hasn't done something to warrant
