Soft secession
If there ever was a DEI hire of the kind that conservatives complain about, that's him.
That's just fucking stupid.
Recreational properties fluctuate way more than main residences but that probably has more to do with where the property is located. In any case, one may want to make a certain declaration on an application just to see what sort of terms you may get.
Why does that even matter? In Canada, you can declare any property you own and occupy, whether your main residence or a recreational property, as a principal residence for income tax purposes. As for the mortgage, the lender may be interested in what the intended use is because valuations of ...
Birthing person
God, I love these.
There is no bigger asshole in politics.
Voting party over country and this is what you get.
Yes they did. It's not like they weren't warned.
If Biden had acted with more courage instead of doling out aid in a piecemeal manner, maybe Ukraine wouldn't be in the position they are currently in. It's not all on Trump.

Thank you. A very useful list.
He knows this is a lie. It won't happen overnight but America will feel the effects of this years from now and I'm not sure it can be reversed.
Right. So now go after Obama.
Beyond Helsinki, really.
Not that his father would have acted on them even with that information.
Not sure about that last point.
We came close to that in Trump's first term.
Phil Collins and Steve Hackett wrote a song about that in 1976.
Waiting for the outrage from the plurality of Americans who voted for Trump and those who stayed at home.
I will never understand why a plurality of Americans are OK with this. Where's the outrage? This is disgusting.
Or one sentence: shut it down.
Boris Johnson on the Trump-Putin summit: “Just about the most vomit-inducing episode in all the tawdry history of international diplomacy.”
For cheap.

He sold his soul for cheap, didn't he?
Saturday morning.
"His excellency."
You're preaching to the choir here and I have absolutely no confidence that any of this matters until I see Trump's approval ratings drop to 30%. People just don't understand or don't care.
But where's the thumbs up that usually accompanies that cheesy grin?
There was that moment in the Zelenskyy meeting at the White House where Zelenskyy told him how to do it.
It was funny listening to the Atlantic take on this trying to put a positive spin on this: "whew! He didn't sell out Ukraine completely or publicly".
Why does this not feel like satire?
Blumenthal: "My stomach turned when I heard the president of the United States characterize Vladimir Putin as his fabulously good friend. Vladimir Putin is a war criminal."
On the 80th anniversary of the end of WW II.
It's as plausible and explanation as any for Trump's total capitulation to Putin at every turn.
It's been one humiliation after another by Putin and yet the most vengeful, vindictive guy on the planet takes it in the ass repeatedly without resistance. That's some powerful shit Putin has on Trump.
Good for her. Hole she keeps her job.
Translation: no consequences at all.
I wasn't sure who you meant until I read "moron".
A willfully ignorant population spoiled by decades of prosperity and unwilling to reflect on what led to that prosperity.
I take your point but it really is not the same thing at all. Chamberlain was a decent and accomplished man. Britain had already experienced a devastating world war and Britain was not prepared to enter another war. Trump is a lazy ignorant blowhard cosplaying a "successful" businessman leading...
We really need to hear more from her.
Only if the good guys get to write the history books, which is really not certain.
This is genius. More of this, please!
I'm so happy to see this but really is this what the majority of Americans want? Trump's approval rating should be zero and anything more indicates way too many people are OK with this.
Indeed. Voters who didn't show up are OK with this. That's exactly the problem and I'm not sure there will be any change to this.
JFC.
Hear, hear!!!
On the fucking anniversary of the end of World War II no less!!! Were all those lives sacrificed in vain?!? Are a plurality of Americans really OK with this?!? There have been some really low moments in this administration's foreign policy but this...
But do Americans care? Apart from people here on Blue Sky.
Fun Getaway With Murderous Dictator Just What Exhausted Trump Been Needing
Yes.
Better late than never. Hope it's not too late.
The US might have to.
That lets man off the hook for responsibility for those evils he commits, doesn't it?
I'm amazed that Ontarians were so willing to overlook the corruption of Ford's administration in the last election. They were certainly happy to toss Kathleen Wynne for McGuinty's bumbling but why the free pass to Ford's?
OMG I was just about to post something like this. Except I would have added ten years from now we will be asking China for the cure for whatever epidemic strikes us and they might oblige after they've taken care of their own and their allies.

Putin is humiliating and playing Trump for the whole world to see and Mr. "Get Even" sits back and takes it.
I'm amazed they kept 2/3.
Yikes!
Watchdog Group Downgrades U.S. From Democracy To Whatever Political System Lobsters Have theonion.com/watchdo...
This is so Victor Orban. He fired the head of Hungary's National Meteorological Service when the Service's prediction of extreme weather during a fireworks display on Hungary's national holiday, and thus forcing the cancellation of the event, never materialized.
Trump and his servant, Kevin Hassett, are lying about the Bureau of Labor Statistics to justify Trump's firing of the BLS commissioner, whose only offense was telling the truth about the economy. How do I know they're lying? Because I have video of a witness exposing the lie. The witness is Trump.
What an asshole.
I'd love to see a debate between you and David Frum on this.
But who is rigging them?
Man, does that sound like what's happening right here.
You think maybe people shouldn't have voted for Trump?
I hear that they have this cutting edge technology. It'd called a "battery". Anybody else hear about it?
And yet, he's the president.
Fucking hell
Stop it already. My ribs are killing me.
🤣🤣🤣
Even this is not a bridge too far for MAGAts. Even after all their passion to go after sexual predators of children, they are OK with this.
What a truly stupid comment.
Really, 77,300,000 voters knowingly wanted this?!?
Maybe women shouldn't have voted for the sexual predator? This all should have ended with the Access Hollywood audio.
Seriously, does Trump really want to go to discovery on this?
Just Canadian media?
Are Albertans' really behind this or is it just Smith performing for her base?
Too bad voters ignored the message. "Yeah, he sexually assaults women, but eggs!"
I love this but how do you get the red voter in Iowa to care?
Like Russia,Russia,Russia and Covid.
Who doesn't love to experience hyperinflation in their lifetime? It's so much more interesting to experience it in real time as opposed to just reading it in a textbook.
🤣
A+ tweet, or whatever they call it.
Funny how Trump recently called Canada "nasty" during trade "negotiations".
And you don't ace a cognitive test.
You know who would agree with this? David Frum, of all people. The question becomes how do we get there.
I know. It's been said countless times but sometimes The Onion is indistinguishable from reality.
A+ tweet, or whatever it's called here.
Have a nice day, Karen.
Most Americans voted for him anyway and that is the problem.
(and a pox on Robert Mueller for not investigating those ties). Those ties go a long way to explain Trump's deference to Putin and Trump being Putin's preferred candidate. But he isn't the fucking Manchurian Candidate.
I do know about Trump in the 80s etc. All his misdealings have been well documented. It's why it's a mystery to me how he was ever taken seriously as a presidential candidate. There is evidence of financial ties to the Russians although the full nature of those ties is not known...
The Access Hollywood tape should have been the end of Trump’s political career. Instead, the sordid episodes of Trump’s life just kept piling on and on and on and the American people said "I'm OK with that."
