Canada negotiated a trade/tariff deal with Trump last time he was in power.He called it beautiful and strong then,now can’t stop whining about how unfair it is. He negotiated it via tantrum. All we did was abide by it until he tore it up and went rogue. Why would anyone want to negotiate with that?

You Are Sane

If you are terrified, you are SANE.
If you are crying, you are SANE.
If you are anxious, you are SANE.
If you are traumatized, you are SANE.
If you are grieving, you are SANE.
If you are depressed, you are SANE.

What’s happening is INSANE.

But YOU ARE SANE.
You are sane.

My personal experience is that there are far more kind, fun, creative and compassionate people than jerk faces. It's not easy to remember every day but I believe it's true 🌺

The year is 2030. The Onion is the most respected and accurate news source. Fox News broadcasts exclusively in nursery rhyme format.

It’s funny how we realized 20 years ago that air conditioning is a non-negotiable in cars, yet somehow it gets treated like a frivolous luxury when it comes to houses.
