🇬🇧 King Charles III played a decisive behind-the-scenes role in encouraging Trump to step up his support for Ukraine, President Zelensky said.

He revealed that the British monarch helped restore his relationship with the U.S. president after a dispute in the Oval Office in February.

I didn't think I could find the Trump Administration more loathsome, but I'll admit here, I was wrong.
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Venezuela’s dictator isn’t wrong here.
Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro: “They think life is a bad Hollywood movie where they’re always the heroic Rambo-style winners and the rest of us—Latinos, Mexicans, Colombians, Venezuelans, Caribbeans, Africans—are the villains.

“Let them keep their fading empire and their ugly story.”

Want to see ridiculous? Heres an article in a CPC-leaning mouthpiece about Canada’s new sovereign AI initiative. Apparently, sovereignty “isn’t the answer”.

Scroll down to the bottom

Just watch. Trump will come out of this with some more waffling on support for Ukraine and more sympathy for Putin.

This is exactly the kind of bullshit that surrounds any talk of defence spending in Canada. Yes, I know the Beaverton is satire, but the commentary here isn’t meant to be funny.

Defence literacy in Canada is abysmal and dribble like this just proves it.

Last time I checked - 30 seconds ago - Novo Nordisk is a a *Danish* company. Can you imagine the reaction in Denmark - a country openly threatened by Trump?
Trump to the Novo Nordisk CEO: "Maybe you should give us a piece of the company like I've been asking for."

Another massive crack in Polievere’s armour.
NEW: Edmonton Riverbend Conservative MP Matt Jeneroux is resigning his seat. He posted this statement to social media.
November 6, 2025 at 11:35 PM
“I was very much in charge of that”????

Wow.
"Israel attacked first."

This admission undercuts the Trump administration's collective self-defense justification for joining Israel's military campaign against Iran over the summer.
Trump: "Israel attacked first. That attack was very very powerful. I was very much in charge of that. When Israel attacked Iran first, that was a great day for Israel."

He’s just reading out his idiotic “Truth” message, the one he sent after seeing a Fox News story.

I’m lost for words to describe how stupid this - and he - are.
U.S. President Trump said that the United States would stop all aid to Nigeria and possibly "go into that now-disgraced country, guns a-blazing," if the African country did not stop the killing of Christians.

More antivaxxer bullshit that’s going to kill people. And of course this nut has tagged Trump and has a fund raiser going. Gotta keep the grift alive!

The Instagram comments cause me to lose hope for humanity…

Maybe those Red Tories that are left have finally enough of Polievere and his Temu Trump act. I hope so.
Dimitri Soudas, former Harper comms guy, told RadCan this morning that he's hearing Conservative MP Matt Jeneroux will cross the floor to the Liberals today.

If this happens, the Liberals are one seat short of a majority. You know what that means.

That's right.

Elizabeth May is Kingmaker.

Here’s the chaser to the Forbes article.

Trump, of course, isn’t developing anything. He‘ll demand options from his toadies & then go with whatever some talking head on Fox suggests.

My guess (assuming no TACO factor)? Airstrikes. America *loves* airstrikes. And Trump doesn’t get his hands dirty.
Rep. Brian Mast says Trump is developing "concepts of operations" for Venezuela
November 5, 2025 at 5:31 PM
Lets translate this lede:

(1) TACO

(2) Trump was reluctant to be *seen* to be putting US troops at risk. He really doesn’t give a shit about them.

But Rubio may win yet and Trump will get his war.

Let the handwringing begin. There’s a huge group in Canada that thinks defence spending is a *waste* & that anything defence related is “militarism“.

They’d see us spend nothing - no matter how unstable the international environment is.

Plus ça change.

Honestly, I don't think Trump's incomprehension of political asylum has anything to do with his serious personality-disorder-related psychiatric afflictions and his seeming dementia, which both raise 25th Amendment questions. I do, however, think it reflects his utter stupidity ….
The president of the United States thinks asylum-seekers come from mental asylums.

He says it in almost every interview where the topic of migration comes up.

How is this not 25th Amendment territory? How is he not an embarrassment to this entire country?

Cdn Federal Budget:

I don’t care what anyone “thinks” might be in the budget tomorrow or what some partisan talking head has to say about it.

I intend to read the government’s statement and the summaries myself and decide myself. But I can guess that Cdns don’t want an election, especially now.
