Born in Chicago, raised in Toronto, 40-year resident of Ottawa. I voted for Harris in '24, Biden in '20, HRC in '16 and Libs in '15, ‘19, ‘21 and ‘25. I mute idiots/trolls.
Perhaps everyone should just post this photo every single day of Trump’s remaining life.

Random anecdote: I had the pleasure of dealing with Softbank (as one of our company’s customers) before I decided to take the “Freedom Fifty” option. Others in the company described them as the “company from hell”.

They were correct.

It would be just tooootally crazy if it was revealed that the guy who said he “liked to grab women by the pussy” and who was found civilly liable for rape was implicated in Epstein’s child molestation ring, wouldn’t it? Totally. 🙄
“In one email from April 2011, Mr. Epstein told Ms. Maxwell … ‘I want you to realize that that dog that hasn’t barked is Trump.’ He added that an unnamed victim ‘spent hours at my house with him, he has never once been mentioned.’”

Holy shit. 😳

Horrific if true. But I would not be in the least surprised if it was true.

Wouldn’t it be totally crazy if all those allegations of Democratic child sex trafficking promulgated by Republicans over the years were a cover-up for Republican child sex trafficking? 🤔

Politics has become America’s all-season sport. “Our team folded at the critical moment! The other side won!”

Get a grip, people. The game is being played on the backs of working people, not on grass, ice, hardwood floors or artificial turf. On. The. Backs. Of. People.

It’s interesting to note that the people who are most vociferous in their “hold the line” exhortations are comfortably ensconced in the middle class and not dependent on SNAP benefits, one paycheck from being evicted or losing their home, or about to lose their job.

“As part of the deal, Democrats would get a vote on a pre-determined date on health insurance tax credits that they have long sought to extend.”

This is the important point. Dems will force Repubs to bote against health insurance tax credits.

Stay tuned, people.

Watching movie on iPad with headphones. Have to use that adapter for audio plug because Apple eliminated audio plug. Now battery low, so have to stop watching movie to recharge battery.

Herein lies the strategy: Johnson forced to bring House in session, swear in Grijalva, vote on Epstein resolution.
“‘We will not support spending legislation advanced by Senate Republicans that fails to extend the [ACA] tax credits. Johnson will be compelled to end the seven week Republican taxpayer-funded vacation,’ Jeffries said.”

Johnson will have to bring the House back.

Typical social media exchange in 2025:

“The man who invented scissors, C.S. Izzers, was a great man.”

“He stole the idea from G.R. den Sheers! He was a fraud!”

“He was a a racist and misogynist!”

“You know nothing of greatness! What about Z. Ippers! Where would clothes be without his invention!”
