i hold no love for Mark Carney but even I've gotta have sympathy for the dude when I imagine his aide being like "sir, the president thinks you own the whole bridge and you're being mean about it" and him having to put down his copy of The Economist to make the dumbest phone call of all time

This quote from the article: "Prime Minister Mark Carney of Canada said he had a call with Mr. Trump on Tuesday and explained that Canada paid for the bridge, though it will share ownership with Michigan."

is giving heavy Michael Scott energy...

It really is exquisitely prescient that the bridge was named the Gordie Howe International Bridge in 2015, given that Gordie Howe is the source of the phrase "elbows up".

So yeah, #ElbowsUp motherfuckers.

Notice Tim Scott said it was "the most racist thing he's seen out of this White House."

That implies he's seen other racist things and kept quiet.

At a minimum, this will happen.

Ah.... The old false dichotomy argument.

Fuck them. There is a lot of space between the two extremes.

Canada is doing just fine with something in the middle of authoritarian evil and wide-open borders.

#ElbowsUp motherfuckers.

Like, I had to re-read the quote.

I thought he was talking about ICE making your communities dangerous.

And said with a straight face.

Don't discount the Canadian Effect. #ElbowsUp is hella catchy.

"What if"?

They most *certainly* have both better emotional regulation AND object permanence than I do.

Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask:

"If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

I kept drinking to punish myself for drinking.

I'm feeling much better now.
