I'll never forgive Oprah for giving Dr. Phill a soapbox. He's such an in incorrigible asshole.

Been there.
Sweet Caroline, 'Cause the crowd will join in an mask your vocal weakness.
Will was easier to come by in the 60's. The War was over and America was in ascension. Progress was abundant, life was affordable, and The Dream was within reach for many* 2025? Not so much. People struggling to afford gas are disinclined to fuel a rocket. Let alone the R&D/Material/Ops/Logistics...

...and Czechoslovakia, not France, at the time. One of the first dominoes in what was to quickly become a "pattern of behavior". JD, a simple hillbilly, has a lust for power and relevance that makes him very... forgetful of the history he once knew.
The reporter should have informed the editors right away, kept the money in trust, killed the immediate story, and seen how the scandal would evolve. $200 can only just be a feeler.
You know he's incapsulated in his own narcissistic bubble when he doesn't realize that bragging about being an asshole to the leader of a country, 3yrs into a brutal war, isn't the flex he thinks it is.
Where's DOGE when you need them? π€·πΌββοΈ
I'm a tad cynical, so this strikes me as laughably pedestrian in the hierarchy of scandals. It needs Benny Hill music. $200 to cover up a pay-to-play scheme which is just another notch in the Adams campaign's belt? Wake me up when there's a scandal that's not stained by Adams' usual incompetence.
Canadians sitting in lawn chairs along the border...
But if you throw a sandwich...woo boy. Better hope it isn't in the direction of law enforcement.
It's ramped up exponentially, even with my friends/family account. I suspect their contact lists have been compromised, 'cause I don't use that email for anything online.
They're impairing all the institutions, especially Justice, brick by brick. For reasons.
Fuck Putin and all his vatnik minions. There's a special place in hell for them.
Rubio sold his soul when he surrendered his own ideals to become one of Trump's sycophants.
Texas v. White renders secession moot so long as people follow the courts. In the absence of that we'd witness a breakdown of the legitimacy of SCOTUS and here be dragons... the seeds of violent civil disobedience. Troops deployed to cities for political reasons are a terrible idea. Nothing good.

Would he accept the dryer as a compromise?
Reagan is rolling over in his grave at the GOP pivot to Russia.
I don't hate it. π€
We need Judge Dredd for stings like this.
Oh well. It's a beautiful day.
Sadly, that's an accurate assessment. If this nonsense extends to cities across America and voting gets suspended* "due to widespread fraud...", and protests are shut down immediately - and eventually violently - how many NG and LE will say "I was just doing my job!"? *Use your imagination here...
Kilmeade is so uniquely stupid he should have his own chapter in the next DSM.
Trump should never get into a room with Putin, let alone a vehicle. Putin is far more intelligent and he will play Trump like a fiddle every time.
This is deeply disturbing. I don't care that the number is small in the grand scheme, it shouldn't be happening at all. www.theglobeandmail.com/gift/589c2f3...
Keep up the good work. You know where to find me. I'm trying to save my own parks up in Canada. π€ π«‘
I'll bend over backwards to design you guys a shirt.
They were. When Trump 1.0 started burning records.
It's coming to America.

Do you sell shirts like Rogue NASA? I'd buy one if it helps you afford commas. π But seriously, love how you're bringing attention to nature and what's left of our wilderness. Thank you so much.
It's a $6B hit, IIRC. It might not be the last hit the F-35 faces. I have a feeling Canada won't complete their entire order. I'm guessing at least half, and then cheaper alternatives for CAP. European customers? Likely backing away in favour of their own domestic 6-gen. Guesses. We'll see in time.
Welcome back.

Disgusting. π€¬
But here's the thing; this narrative is getting a LOT of traction with the head-in-sand crowd.

The Olympics will be interesting. $100 says ICE fucks up and arrests an athlete or a tourist.
Trump supporters have been willfully blind since day one. Just now they're finding out there's been gambling going on in this establishment!? #cult

2016: Ransomware will cripple your network and local PCs. 2025: Your AI chatbot child will spill eggs out of the fridge and lie to you about it. To cover it up they'll burn your house down. 2026: Have fun air gapping your backups if Clippy has a cool idea.
Rhode Island is the epitome of scandals. Texas: "Hold my beer".
I think it's remarkable that the PDB is now a colouring book.

If it's any consolation these cosplaying clowns are profoundly uncomfortable in the wicked heat of summer. Let them sweat under their masks and kit while they reflect on their poor life decisions.
I'd argue we've been here for 30 years.
They spelled "front" wrong, but ya, good news.
The Sony PS1's wobble groove on their CD-ROMS was also sneaky.
... and more money for critical infrastructure, education, child development.... I could go on, but my list isn't cheap. Gov't needs to address the revenue shortfall. Tax cuts for the wealthiest and gutting IRS is backwards. A border wall? What about the desperately needed shipyards? π€·πΌββοΈ
What do laws matter when there's no enforcement or punishment?
Trump, working in concert with Putin, is trying to force Ukraine into a "peaceful" surrender. He's dumb enough to think he'll get a Nobel Peace prize for it.
Merry Canada Day! π¨π¦ #ElbowsUp
And, to that end, "If we don't manipulate elections, they will". Every accusation is an admission.
I'm still gobsmacked by how ambitious this proposed land sale is. A flagrant abuse of the public trust.
Call me old fashioned, but I think that policies once championed, and later implement, by Nazis are a terrible idea, especially for a country that reminds me before every game that they're the land of the free.
"Big Billionaire Bill". Perfect.
That's the price of... *checks notes* making America great again? π€·πΌββοΈ
I was driving across the bridge the other day and there must have been 15+ vehicles in front and behind me that were white. What are the odds? I thought. Turns out, in N.America, better than any other colour (still slim, however).
In Maryland that's a terrifying observation.
Hearing more and more stories like this, and worse. nationalpost.com/news/canada/...
At best, all Canada could hope for, should it choose to abandon F-35/ FA-18 SH, is to join Tempest, or some other euro 6-gen aircraft. I could write a paper (oh, wait, I did... in highschool) on why the Avro Arrow was, despite being an awesome achievement, a bad idea from the get go.
Your daily reminder, if you needed one, that Charlie Kirk is an incorrigible asshole.
Arrowleaf balsaroot?
Can confirm.
Pretty epic. If only I could erase the memory and watch it again for the first time.
Exactly.
If I was Ms. Bertrand I would hang this on my wall as a badge of honor. Well done @natashabertrand.bsky.social
Wow. The highs in that song are challenging, but he sounds high? Drunk?

Who thinks we should auction off pristine public lands to pave and build more luxury homes????? PLEASE CALL YOUR SENATORS NOW to DEMAND THEY REJECT THIS NONSENSE
I was 18 working as a landscaper and they just handed me a chainsaw and pointed at a tree. No experience, no protection whatsoever. Things can go terribly wrong fast. I totally get why we have WorkSafe (OSHA in the US).
Nobody would hire Trump. But 70M+ voted for him. That's a problem.
With this weaponized DOJ there's a bounty of examples, and there's more to come. Also, stay tuned for the slam dunk cases they elect to drop. Trump picked Bondi for reasons...
I suspect a lot of meetings that should be happening aren't because countries are just too frustrated with the amateur hour they'd have to deal with.
Yup. And guess who's going to fill in the gap. Killing USAID and RFE/RL was a terrible own goal.
Everyone thought Trump was gunning for a Nobel Peace prize. A trinket for his ego. But what he really wanted was his own asymmetric war. He'll move fast and break things (ODS/OIF) and leave the mess for others to sort out, all the while declaring victory.
As alarming as this is I feel like society has essentially given up on any expectation of privacy. Not everyone, of course, but most. The lack of outrage is deafening.

This is disgusting. Afghan allies, who put their lives, and the lives of their family on the line, deserve better than this. π‘
Awesome. Great parenting behind this.
NOAA/NWS/FEMA... I'm gobsmacked that a bunch of fratboys thought these were expendable and the admin (and Congress) let them cut away.
I'm just waiting for her book to come out in five years where she reveals that she'd been stringing along the SVR/GRU the whole time with the puppet strings Putin used for her that the brilliant mastermind in the Oval Office cut so she could reveal the Deep State in America.
Same same. π΄ππ
This doesn't end well. I'm worried America is past the tipping point. I listened to Trump's speech at Ft. Bragg and dispaired. He was laying the foundations for purity tests and violence, and soldiers cheered. This summer is just the beginning. This is 2025's backswing. Wait till they hit the ball.
On behalf of all Canadians, Secretary Hegseth can go fuck himself.
