PM Carney was like the wise therapy dog, patiently listening to a resident in the Seniors home ramble and prattle on about everything and nothing.

Jim Carrey expresses best how it felt to read that "reporter's" statement...

Trump is the wrecking ball. And in his orbit, he has gathered other wrecking balls. It is a wild, mendacious and lawless infant's mobile of wrecking balls.

This is what happens when you elect an authoritarian who told you he was going to tear down your democratic institutions.

Nope. It's not terrible to want this. Completely understandable. The real challenge is making it hurt for the Trump, his enablers and the oligarchs. The markets (Dow, NASDAQ, S&P) need to crash. Money is the only thing these selfish trolls understand and the only thing they care about.

Sometimes a thing is easily and precisely what it looks like. Any complexity you find in one nation's dictator invading by force another sovereign nation and inflicting billions of dollars in damage and thousands of casualties, is a failure on your part to understand the facts.

For the first time, and prompted by the disgusting behaviour of Trump and Vance today, I donated. Time to put our money where our mouth is. And as a Canadian, it's clear what awaits us as Trump sets his sights on us.

Because they've built a bubble of conspiracy and ideology and misplaced beliefs. Anything that might crack that bubble in the slightest would mean their make-belief worldview is wrong.

The problem is in the American DNA. American exceptionalism and the self-assured certainty of your infallibility and power will always leave the door open for the next Trump wannabe. How could we ever trust you again, regardless of your collective (and genuine) pleading for forgiveness?

Add Fox News and Limbaugh, and you complete the trifecta. These three stains on our discourse started the ball rolling toward the decline that Sagan feared.

This is deplorable behaviour. Hillary may have been on to something.

I might refine this a bit and classify MAGA politicians as the stupidest. Particularly since they typically have the means, money, staff and wherewithal to know better. And yet...well, Mace proves the point.

Uninstalled the CNN app today. Enough is enough.

This and a thousand other disappointments amongst has to hit and hit hard. Unfortunately, pain and suffering that is objectively a result of their dear leader is the only way for those MAGA rose-colored glasses to come off.

The most kleptocratic of kleptocracies is about to show us how money, real money, can buy anything. Nothing is out of reach for those who can pay to play. And those who voted for this disgrace will suffer the most.

Wait...what, why?? Bluesky team, please fix this!

Good call

You know you've won the argument when your opponent descends to calling you a smug pr**k. Rubin has nothing substantive but puerile name-calling.
