A bit of a political junkie. Spend great deal of time on my bicycle and walking as I no longer own a car.

It takes a lot of skill to ride in a car.
Burgum goes full Pyongyang on Fox & Friends: "Watching President Trump in the beast, leading the pace car, leading the field of the most talented drivers in the world, kicking off the entire Nascar season for America, when he was doing that it reminded me of how he's actually leading the world."

I like Canada fine, but I'm not sure we're compatible, what with their somewhat functioning civil society and their manners and their capacity to dress appropriately for occasions
Trump has posted about Canada, Greenland, and the Panama Canal today.

We now confront the unprecedented problem of an unelected South African half-trillionaire holding hostage an unstable and vengeful president with a thermonuclear arsenal and a barely Republican (221-214) Congress as the rough beast of tyranny slouches toward Bethlehem. What could possibly go wrong?

This holiday season, the Postal Service warns of “smishing” — package tracking scams sent over text.

Now that we know that Elon spent a quarter billion dollars to get Trump elected, any dive into Why Harris Lost needs to start with "Because the richest man on earth bought the election and our shitty campaign finance laws just let him."

“Canada's Conservative leaders break the bank while preaching prudence”
Conservatives only preach empty slogans and feel-good platitudes but, in reality they are always the worst for our economy and finances. #cdnpoli #peipoli

Canada's Conservative leaders break the bank while preaching prudence
For all their talk about being fiscally prudent, Conservative politicians in Canada have more or less abandoned the idea of balancing the budget.

Poilievre’s new slogan “the border is broken” reminds us that when last in government, his crew slashed border security:
*every agent that tracked child porn
*19 dog-sniffing drug teams
*fully half the intelligence agents who track terrorists and gun & drug traffickers.
Great work, Agent Anschluss.

If President Trump can remain completely sober while sexually abusing women, then that's the least we can ask of Pete Hegseth.

Pete Hegseth tells Megyn Kelly that he's being "Kavanaughed" and says the allegations against him are "made up"

(is he talking about the rape allegation he paid a settlement to hush up, or the email his mom wrote calling him out for his abusing behavior, or ... )

Dominic Leblanc is asked about foreign interference in the Conservative leadership race.
“We have offered a highly sensitive security briefing to Mr. Poilievre, precisely so he can see the nature and scope of the threat of foreign interference in the Con Party." He declines. #cdnpoli #peipoli

Recession, definition: Two successive quarters of negative economic growth as measured by GDP. The last recession in Canada was Covid-related (2020-1), before that (2008-9) the financial crisis. Both were global, or at least exogenous. /2 #cdnpoli

The Hunter pardon thing is a reminder of a theme that runs throughout media, social or otherwise:

"Democrats must always set a good example for Republicans to ignore."

You too can extort your family with prostitutes, get convicted of a felony for doing that, then become a US Ambassador, like Charles Kushner is gonna do.

Only in Trump's America.
