never get involved in a land war in Minnesota
Bovino advanced all the way to within eyesight of Paisley Park, but his supply lines were stretched too thin and ultimately his frozen troops were encircled by Will Stancil and wine moms with whistles

It's important to note that the new Alberta Tory party leader, Pete Guthrie, has been very outspoken about his support for Alberta remaining in Canada
Conservatives spent over a decade feeding the insatiable appetite in Alberta for anger and alienation towards Ottawa.
Now, like Jason Kenney, they need to step up and slay the beast they helped create before it does even more damage. #cdnpoli #abpoli

yup, the Premier is willing to sacrifice almost anything--including a divisive referendum on independence--in order to remain in power
Thomas Lukaszuk: "As we know, our Premier is hellbent to have a referendum because the stats are different within her own UCP party, looks like majority of UCP party supporters & a large contingent of MLA's are pro separatist & they demand a referendum and the Premier is somewhat beholden to them."

when responding to Trump's latest threat, we need to keep in mind that his attention span is measured in minutes
this outburst was caused by a meeting with Moroun. Trump obviously knew nothing about this new bridge and reacted predictably, wanting to be seen as The Dude In Charge Knowing Everything
