Canada is sovereign. Mexico is sovereign. These are not hard concepts. Putin told Trump that if he shanked his own brother, others would fear him. He never counted on his brother shrugging it off and coming into the boards elbows-up.

Back when Donald was a failure in real estate, he was famous for not paying his contractors. He would come up with fictional fault in their work as an excuse not to pay them. Now, this unscrupulous cretin is short-changing the National Guard. www.rawstory.com/trump-infuri...

Must be nice to have a job that only takes up 2 days a week and 3 minutes a day. Tell me again about Newsom needing to go govern. 🙄🤪🤡 August 26, 2025 119th Congress (2025 - 2026) "Adjournment: The House met at 11 a.m. and adjourned at 11:03 a.m." www.congress.gov/congressiona...

GOV. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social : “Facts are stubborn things… Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas…. Alabama is a top 3 murder state. Where is the President? — He isn’t focused on crime & violence. It’s about an expression of authoritarianism.” (H/T @acyn.bsky.social )

Pushing out top officials. Firing hundreds of lifelong public health experts. Trying to slash the CDC’s budget by billions. How is this “Making America Healthy Again”?

Yes, look. "The U.S. has the 28th-highest rate of deaths from gun violence in the world: 4.31 deaths per 100,000 people in 2021. That was more than seven times as high as the rate in Canada." www.npr.org/sections/goa...

The police officer had a duty to provide protection, felt threatened, stood his ground. That kind of defense was once bread and butter to the GOP.

If Susan Collins is "extremely alarmed", a "pretty big lesson" can't be far off! Right?? This stuff isn't all for nothing, right? Susan??? SMH. 🤪

I hope the rest of the world noticed so no one buys U.S. food. That should kill the market worldwide.

Cop had a duty to protect, felt threatened, stood his ground. This used to be all the defense that the GOP required. Now????...

No wonder their leader wears Depends - someone has to be ready to soak up all these snowflakes that melt down in public. Sad.
