Kevin O'Leary: He's not a billionaire, he just plays one on TV
“If you walk down a street with Kevin, it’s like parting the Red Sea,” says Stuart Coxe, the television producer who cast Kevin O’Leary on Dragons’ Den in 2006. “It’s ‘Kevin!’ and high-fives.… We’ve n...

The international bond market will take notice. This so not a signal of stability or safe investment.
This is called fraudulent accounting, and it’s what Trump was found criminally guilty of by a New York court.
Trump Administration may be on track to put its thumb on critical GDP data: “Doing so could potentially complicate or distort a fundamental measure of the U.S. economy’s health.” Via AP.

Smart people attack dumb ideas. Dumb people call smart people "dumb".
This is why you fight these cowards.
The moment you stand up to them, they crumble.
Homan has nothing. The Fourth Amendment is clear and I am well within my duties to educate people of their rights.
He can threaten me with jail and call names all he wants. He’s got nothing else.

He's absolutely flaunting that he beat the rap. The whole point is to crime and be seen to be getting away with it.
Have you seen the White House account on X lately? Just one of many disgraceful posts.

I don't have a ghostwritten memoir, but even I know you don't open with scorched earth tarriff threats. Now the entire world knows he can't hang. This is not a master negotiator. He's not even a master baiter.

It's not the women and minorities who require such constant, public coddling. And thinking this administration prioritizes competence is just hilarious.

Canadians, I know you're mad. You want to DO something, to strike back. But train your guns on the people responsible for this and not your fellow Canadians. Our government has the biggest levers. Consumption patterns will take time to change. Help us build lasting solidarity for lasting change.
It hasn't taken long for people to drink up the nationalism and approach a complex economic situation with brow beating.
I've already seen people commenting "make sure Canadians work there" which is going to exacerbate bigotry towards south asians in particular.

This might give some pause to anyone who thinks of Musk’s DOGE as just a dispassionate accounting firm trying to make everything run more smoothly.

Well yes. And that his 54 felony convictions will be upheld, he's being "sentenced" on Friday, and Jack Smith is dropping the J6 case report on the same day.
All of this is purely designed to distract his base from the true purpose of his presidency: the transfer of trillions of dollars to the richest people and businesses in the country.

It can't happen, short of military conquest. There is no mechanism in thr Canadian Constitution for the GoC to disband confederation. Keep asking what this is distracting you from.
This whole discourse is stupid (not to mention dangerous), but how exactly do these conservatives think a country full of people accustomed to universal healthcare would vote as the 51st state?

It was definitely why I wrote poetry, back when I wrote (wretched) poetry. And it worked. I met my wife at a reading.

I often have the feeling that I'm just too dumb or illiterate to "get" certain things. However, I liked Nosferatu. It was visually stunning: chiaroscuro brought to life, and it threw the standard story beats out the window. /1
