Dear Donald
Canada has something called democracy.
It means the leader is accountable to Parliament and can be replaced
I bet Americans wish they had that now.
And convicted sexual abusers don't get to lead our nation.
We're decent folk
Ps. Button up. We're sending frigid cold your way.

1/ Nice tidbit in a supplemental filing from Nauta & De Oliveria, confirming they realize Judge Cannon lacks jurisdiction to bar release of Special Counsel's report. Of course, she never had jurisdiction over the J6 case & can't bar that part, but she dismissed the MAL case & can't act further on it

On Christmas Eve when Trump talked about taking over Greenland, the Panama Canal & even Canada, I took him seriously & wrote about it. He was back at it today. joycevance.substack.com/p/christmas-...
Christmas Eve Crazy
Happy Christmas Eve, and here’s your reminder that it’s not normal for an American president to talk about taking over territory that belongs to our allies.

I have now seen the Ann Telnaes cartoon of Jeff Bezos's supplication before Donald Trump more often today than I've seen any other cartoon during the entire rest of the year.

It’s Sunday, so let’s share the good word:
If churches want to play politics, they can pay taxes like the rest of us. God doesn’t need a tax break, but millionaire pastors sure seem to love one.

Mike Johnson claimed yesterday that he was reading a prayer written by Thomas Jefferson.
Except it wasn't.
Historians who are familiar with it say it’s not accurate to attribute it to Jefferson or to suggest he recited it daily.

It sucks our politics are not "how can we help our constituents" and instead are "how can I hurt the other side most?"
It's ALL obstructionist. They are playing war games with our money and our lives and we're supposed to just sit in the stands and cheer for our "team" like we aren't cannon fodder.

Let's talk about Elon's newest "theory," that c-sections lead to greater brain development.
First, there is absolutely no evidence of this. In fact some studies show the opposite: higher rates of brain cell death in c-sections than vaginal birth.
