Maybe Dani is hoping if Trump seizes Panama, he will name her the next President there?
I think Panama might be next to seize control of the canal. But Colombia, Cuba, and Mexico should all be on high alert. As well as every other country in the Americas.

Very tired of this new trend in politics where leaders do something that should make them resign, but decide to hunker down and front it out instead.

You know who has Universal Healthcare provided by the government? Folks in Argentina do and the US taxpayers sent them $40 Billion Dollars so they can keep it. How are your premiums doing?

Wow. Like the Keystone Cops Mob is running the country.

I'm old enough to remember when the proponents for TMX being built, saying it would create long term good paying jobs. How is that going? Since May 2024 there have been THOUSANDS of jobs lost in Alberta oil/gas. However, RECORD profits for oil/gas. SO you want another pipeline huh?

Not one word about the inability to consent.

Ruh-roh, Dani. And how long will it take to build that pipeline? Ya, probably about a decade, if you're lucky.
#Renewables will grow faster than any major energy source in the next decade, according to the world’s #energy watchdog, making the transition away from #fossil fuels “inevitable”, despite a green backlash in the US and parts of Europe
Supply boom in cheaper renewables will seal end of fossil fuel era, says IEA

Can't imagine havng to work so hard just to afford healthcare. Your ERs are gonna be off the charts busy.
Here’s the thing about healthcare premiums about to skyrocket: they will never come back down, short of a complete overhaul of our system for universal healthcare. Which clearly won’t happen bc of all the money tied up between health and politics.

Wouldn't it be a kind of Special Day if he and Putin departed together?
I think Margaret Cho was right in her post. He is dying and he’s going to do as much damage as possible on his way out. Meanwhile, his people in the background are robbing us blind and making us less healthy and safe in the process.

Is it because he surrounds himself with people who have more money than God?
Trump told Fox News he doesn’t believe that people are anxious about money.

This is so true. Just cast another Bond! [whispers: Idris Elba....]
Yep, studios were broken by internet nitpickers and think normal audiences would not be perfectly happy to see Different Handsome Brit walk in and say “Bond, James Bond” whilst holding onto the delusion that a Kangaroo is a Martini.
this kind of feels like freaking out over a problem that 95% of the audience is not going to have an issue with

Every GD day as an historian. We are speakers for the dead.
You ever think about how we’re born knowing absolutely nothing and we have to spend literally our whole lives learning — AKA catching up on at least the outlines of what everyone who came before us either did or figured out — and if we’re lucky, we get to add a little bit to that, and then we die?
