Today's News: Quick Takes on Trudeau, Poilievre, the House of Commons, Harris, Trump, the US Election, and Brexit

Just a few Quick Takes - some stuff  worth reading tonight:

Trudeau

My latest: This is not a diplomatic spat — it’s state terrorism, and Canada is right to call it out https://t.co/GZGbDh6kNU pic.twitter.com/jOYXwM6RyM

WAKE UP
Seriously, the future depends on these two people. The alternatives are unthinkable. There are very dark days ahead if demented Trump & sociopathic Poilievre are running the show and driving our democracies into the dirt. #IStandWithTrudeau2025 #HarrisWalz2024 pic.twitter.com/YY5oe0tYGW

Poilievre:

India is not just conducting wet ops on Canadian soil, they're also doing election interference to help Pierre Poilievre, who is the libertarian-right Thiel-aligned candidate there. https://t.co/S7gphNzr9I

So the dude who won't tell us what he's going to cut, where he spent his Christmas vacation and won't get a proper security clearance wants to know what Trudeau is hiding?
Sure bud.#NeverPoilievre

The House of Commons

Exactly.
We barely have Parliament anymore. Instead, we have a social media content creation studio that occasionally passes legislation. https://t.co/o1qMzyCZLz

Harris 

From David Rothkopf Call Her Madame October Don't Let the Media Sheep Mislead You, the Vice President is Killing It On the Campaign Trail:

...the secret to the success of this campaign, the source of its energy and its joy and its good judgment and its forward momentum and its ability to attract such a broad coalition of supporters is Kamala Harris herself. This is an experienced political pro who has also captured the zeitgeist in way that makes her the perfect foil for Trump and the next generation leader that America needs.

That happens every so often. A candidate comes along and defines a bright line in our history. Kennedy led one such generational changing of the guard with his “New Frontier.” Clinton with Gore led another as America transitioned to leaders from the Baby Boom generation and to the post-Cold War Internet age. Now, she is “turning the page” on the Boomers (and on straggler from the “silent generation” Joe Biden) and, a California woman raised as Silicon Valley grew, she will be the right leader for America in the Age of AI and for helping to usher in the new perspectives and voices of Gen X, Millenials and even Zoomers.

She is the right woman in the right place at the right time and, despite the naysayers and the odds and the challenges, she is going to make history as a result...

Trump

It doesn't matter what the issue: Trump will *always*, without fail, take the wrong position -- and the wronger it is, the more he will insist on it. By now we should have twigged that this is not accidental. It's not just because he's monumentally ignorant -- though he is that.… https://t.co/PN3IesvijQ

Or, as Rick Wilson said "#ETTD - Everything Trump Touches Dies"

The October surprise is that Trump has completely lost his marbles. https://t.co/lxRT2O8rP6

Biden

Bob Woodward is one of America's greatest journalists whose career was born in the bile of nefarious dealings by the White House.

He's as skeptical as a journalist can be because he knows that what the White House hides is monstrous.

Only Joe Biden could make him report THIS: pic.twitter.com/HDHuEPn2As

The US Election

99% of the time I think to myself that this will be one of the closest elections in history

The other 1% of the time I have this strange recurring vision of her cleaning his f*cking clock

Brexit

🚨Former Head of MI6: “I think Brexit has marginalised us. It was kind of intended to do exactly that.”pic.twitter.com/liyOkbjpn4

I never understood why people voted for Brexit, I never understood why people voted for Trump but last night at dinner a Doctor explained it to me, he said,

"They're stupid Robert, simply very stupid"
