Can we just manufacture for him a "You're Better Than Obama" award and let him fuck off into retirement?

I understand the need to hope otherwise. But the history of imperialism makes clear that there was never any chance that illegal orders would NOT be followed.
If you wonder if the U.S. Military will follow unlawful orders, now you know!. The answer is YES, Yes they will follow UNLAWFUL ORDERS given by a 34 count felon! Patriotism is a lie! They've destroyed the purpose of the constitution. This is not the America I believed in. Evil has taken control!

Me to Gemini: "I have to drive to Ottawa tomorrow and arrive by 4pm. What time should I leave?"
Gemini: "I'm sorry, I can't give driving directions to Oshawa because it is a fictional place."

One day more people will wake up to the fact that the taste of an expertly grilled and seasoned portabello mushroom cap is indistinguishable from that of steak.

I can't join ICE because I took an IQ test and tested positive for IQ.
(I'm proud of this so I'm also quote-tweeting, dammit.)
I can't join ICE because I didn't smear my feces on the walls of the Capital on Jan 6. 💩

In America you drop your kid off at school, get your brains blown out on the ride home, then the Vice President drops everything for a week to call you a terrorist, to slander your family, to protect the circumstances that led to your death so they can do it again. It is government by Alex Jones.

In 2024, US military spent $1 trillion. That's 37% of all global military spending, and larger than the next 9 countries combined. They don't need more.
Obviously, this is about enriching contractors who suck his orange flaccid mushroom dick.

My take:
Our Prime Minister probably shouldn't openly & directly condemn Trump's imperial ambitions, as that compromises Canada's safety and leverage.
Such open criticism is the job of the "Loyal Opposition", which would not reflect on the country.
But here, our Opposition is Trump sycophants.

I'm a little addicted to making multiple things in the intant pot at once. Once again, I've made a red lentil dal simultaneously with a potato curry. Haven't tasted it yet, but the kitchen smells INCREDIBLE.

This is the kind of headline you'd expect from a farcical movie about a fictitious totalitarian President.

I'm less concerned about seniors renting out rooms in their house than I am about seniors having to rent rooms in other people's houses.
For young, entry-level workers, sharing rent with roommates is a rite of passage. But as living costs continue to rise and as homeownership becomes less achievable for young adults, older adults are making up a growing share of live-in landlords. trib.al/4jvD8Ox

On its face, this seems like a good idea, which of course sets off alarm bells. Some thoughts:
(1) not sure how legally he can make this happen
(2) probably just show to slow his approval decline
(3) banning institutional ownership still allows Trump and his friends to privately buy beaucoup homes
