Something the US doesn't understand about Canada - it will be a generation before we trust them again in any matter trade or military. Electing a Democratic president or government won't change things, because we know none of them will play fair with us when push comes to shove. #cdnpoli #USpoli

Headlines from Canada's right-wing news networks: Globe & Mail: "Canada must match the tax incentives in Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’." NO! CTV: "How Canada’s shift to the EU may provoke fallout with Trump." CTV & Global might as well merge w/ Rebel News. 🇨🇦 isn't the bad guy in this! ELBOWS UP!

I suggested to my wife that it seemed pointless to continually fill the bird feeder, as the squirrels always empty it in hours. Behind me, my son said, “It’s in your interest for the squirrels to be on your side when the Great War begins,” and ate another spoonful of Froot Loops.

This is, actually, very true:

The President—who uses antisemitic slurs—is building concentration camps and an enormous secret police force. Ya know, maybe this is just because I’m Jewish, but I wish the political opposition and the media made a bigger deal about it!

Is there any stupider news story right now than the Epstein List? Is there any dumber dispute now than the one between Bondi and Patel about releasing "the list"? And isn't it just so priceless that such a stupid issue causing the Trump administration to fall apart?

Pretty weird how everyone in America openly understands the sitting president is actively covering up his involvement in a massive pedophilia and human trafficking operation, but we're somehow talking about the "threat" posed by nine-year-old trans girls on soccer teams.

it’s actually perfect that the epstein list is the thing pulling apart the MAGA faithful and not, like, literally anything else

Trump is peeing on a wild fire trying to put it out.

Fascinating how MAGA is making Bondi the fall gal for the Epstein files debacle, as if she isn’t operating at the express instruction of the man she’s protecting.

TrumpWatch: a weekly collection of posts about the world's most wished-for event.

i’m not advocating for violence but it strikes me as uncontroversially true that the world would be a better place if that bullet hadn’t missed a year ago. or if covid had gotten him back at the end of his first term!

Yes, please let Heroin Bob take care of Trump until the end.
