Is Trump dead? Asking for a friend. If he is dead are we going to witness a Weekend at Bernie's thing waving from the White House balcony like a Soviet dictator or are we talking Maga Zombie?

Russia is currently flying surveillance drones over German bases and routes used to ship weapons to Ukraine. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/u...
Does anyone with half a brain trust mercenary companies like Blackwater with international peacekeeping? It's like an invitation to ignore them as a deterrence because they can be written off on account ledgers. You want soldiers representing democratically elected governments.
US military desperately needs to reopen all the ranks messes on base and lower the drinking age on base to 18. That would do a lot to cut down on all the drug dealers near bases... probably.
Due to the interconnectivity of players and lines, a whole lot of them need to have better results. If Pettersson plays like he did last season then his wingers wither on the vine because they're not getting set up for scoring chances.
RFK Junior is the Secretary of Pestilence and Human Sacrifices for this insane White House administration.
RFK Junior is the Secretary of Pestilence and Human Sacrifices.
RFK's title of "Secretary of Health and Human Services" might as well be changed to Secretary of Pestilence and Human Sacrifices during this insane administration.
The White House might as well have sent the My Pillow Guy to negotiate with Putin as Witkoff, who didn't even bother using his own translators but relied on ones provided by the Kremlin.
You probably want the people fighting these wild fires as citizens a hell of a lot more than the people arresting fire fighters at work during their anti-immigration crackdown.
At this point they'd need to build a series of court houses just to handle the volume of cases brought against the Toddler in Chief.
The state of American democracy is that the GOP would have to lose in a massive landslide just for the Democrats to win a thin majority, thanks to excessive gerrymandering and it's only getting worse.
In America this is called Wednesday. You can't call yourself moral and just shrug off this many mass shootings.
Definitely. As a non-smoker I have picked up cigarette butts beyond count on course and after exercises. I'd have zero problems with once a year day deployments as service to the community to pick up trash in public spaces, but what's going on right now is unconstitutional.
Reenlistment in these units deployed on dumbass missions like this will come back to bite the military, when they lose their best people.
We've long since arrived at the point where Europe is shifting away from buying anything from the American Military Industrial Complex if there's another option, while ramping up their own production. From here on in the US will have to rely on a few Middle East despots to buy their stuff.
Where I grew up, Soy Sauce was the only "exotic" thing in the general store. People arriving there from different experiences and cultures have thankfully changed that.
What it really means is that the food options are about to drastically improve, especially the condiments.
The Venerable Bede clearly hated Jutes so much, he tried to write them out of history itself. I can just imagine that one Jute cart driver who nearly ran him over failing to understand just how far a monk can take a grudge...
All this civil unrest is making me hungry...for Freedom! And a sandwich.
Only a tiny amount of the Americans coming to Canada right now are claiming refugee status. Most of them coming from the US to Canada right now are academics and professionals looking for less insanity at the beginning of what could be the biggest brain drain since 1930s Germany.
What's with this White House Regime and sex offenders?
Most of the streets in Langford are incapable of managing the the current volume of traffic. You won't always know that the left hand lane vanishes to being just a left hand turn at the light until the last moment, which can lead to messy merges into single lane traffic.
Well, that's certainly not going to help Russia meet its emission targets for the Paris Agreement.
Why is Reuters promoting staged fights? Are they going to start covering WWE matches next? How about asking Thor what if felt like to finally defeat Thanos?
Ukraine already has a security agreement for protection that to this day being violated by Russia, America, and the UK. Without international troops deployed on the border as an actual deterrent (like those in the Balkans right now), any treaty won't be worth the ink it's pages.
Looks like a closeup picture of the newly renovated Oval Office...
How exactly are investors dealing with putting it all on crazy, with all this chaos going on. They should be moving their money out of the US as fast as they can and find somewhere sane to invest in.
Is that headline about the Epstein files, because is sounds like it's about the Epstein files...
The only mathematicians the GOP support are the ones helping create their abstract congressional boundaries via gerrymandering.
Apparently those colors didn't run fast enough...
Kelowna is a city caught in a cultural tug of war between Vancouver and Alberta, while the locals are told to shut up, so around half the city will be in favour of this concert going forward.
Not a huge shock and good to see a lot of people keeping up the pressure on this creepy White House regime.
It really hits home when you visit a massive glacier you were at on the same weekend of the year ten years ago and it's pretty much gone now.
Like everything else, the big statistical numbers in crime were caused by the Baby Boomers. Now that Boomer criminals are either dead, in prison, or too old to mug people, the crime statistics are way down.
The biggest drop in tourism comes from a combination of The White House insulting anyone who isn't Russian and using tariffs to attack everyone's economy. People who do travel to the US are getting hassled by border agents and tell everyone about it when they get home. Nothing but winning.
It's fill your pockets with gold as fast as you can in the Gilded Age 2.0 and screw the generations that come after you.
Three US States to waste the time of a bunch of dedicated soldiers to stand around and try not to die of boredom, before a lot of good people quit the military because this isn't what they signed up for.
Throwing away a perfectly good sub in this economy? That's how you know this guy had a high caliber lawyer on retainer...
In a functional democracy that would be the last public statement you made before being kicked out of your party for drinking that much of the Party's Kool-Aid and embarrassing yourself. In America, it's called Tuesday...
All those National Guards who transferred over from the reg forces to keep their options open. All those National Guards who joined to be ready to pitch in during actual emergencies. A lot of good people will quit their units if they keep doing these embarrassing sham deployments.
The Toddler in Chief looked like an over eager teenager meeting his crush on their first date, when he got all excited about Putin coming down the red carpet.
Last season, the Canucks had two bonified snipers (Brock and DeBrusk), but nobody to set them up because the centres were a disgrace. They had to get setup by defencemen because nobody else would or could. If DeBrusk gets teamed up with a playmaker on his line he will fill the net.
Bush Jr tried this same anti-immigration movement stunt 4 days into office, but the money told him to sit down and shut up, so he went back to his golf course.
The most anticipated Canucks game is the one after they get a legitimate 2nd line centre.
Now if only they could deal with the Russian asset in the White House...
Meanwhile, the Toddler in Chief's position on Putin getting away with excessive war crimes in Ukraine: "I can't stay mad at this guy."
That was their flag ship! Seriously, you can't get Russian Navy ships anywhere without a full compliment of tug boats to drag them around.
For me this scene was always about a lack of noise discipline on a patrol...
I figured for the Air Force the oldest equipment would be the swizzle stick at the Tiki Bar...
America can cede Brighton Beach to Putin. They've already given him the White House.
When the US government's highest offices are filled with people who are parodies of themselves, making fun of them doesn't even give that much satisfaction to such a pathetic situation.
No data coming out of the US federal government is reliable anymore because they fire anyone reporting facts. It's just fantasy numbers to support the current regime in the White House.
In Vancouver, David Booth's stick was where plays went to die. He'd get the puck, skate straight ahead, until he either got checked or shot it at the goalie's crest, with zero sense to ever pass. It was pretty painful to watch.
Rewarding Putin by carving up Ukraine sounds a lot like the Partitions of Poland by European powers in the 18th century. The White House might as well have sent the My Pillow Guy as their negotiator, with Witkoffs masterly strategic move of only using Russian interpreters.
Some people are still a bit salty that the slavers lost.
The Toddler in Chief's position on Putin has continually been "I can't stay mad at this guy", so I'll believe it when I see it. His fake aid proposal for Ukraine is the equivalent of setting up a Best Buy in a famine.
The Boomer criminals have either aged out of committing crime, are in jail, or dead. They caused the big bubble in crime stats when they were young or in their prime.
I thought it was generally understood by the international community that the penalty for high treason and an attempted coup against a democracy was a temporary Twitter ban...
For a lot of soldiers the kiss goodbye on the way out of the military can feel like a long term relationship the way it seems to take forever, so this might be a good thing for a lot of people who are just dragging their ass around waiting to escape.
I have low expectations of Helburta's government to choose the right decision on any issue except by accident, but Saskatchewan trying to be more like Alberta is not a good look.
He's like a dumber version of Goldfinger, who has become a parody of himself.
Europe gives more aid to Ukraine than the US. 75% of US aid doesn't go to Ukraine. It's mostly spent domestically on the US military and corporate welfare for the arms industry. Changing aid into guns for cash is the US government going after the last 25-30% of aid that actually went to Ukraine.
Instead of buying US arms in the guise of aid, wouldn't NATO allies just use those funds to buy EU arms from people not constantly threatening them with tariffs or trying to run the foreign aid equivalent of setting up a Quality Foods store during a famine.
Tomatoes grown on the vine at home are so much better than the ones at the grocery store that taste like wood.
I'm not saying the correct response by Canada is flooding the US media with Epstein & Trump bromance ad spots, but it's a start. :-)
Turkey needs to defend itself against Russia, and the US has become an unreliable trade partner, ally, and vendor.
Good luck Helburta with land ownership, because once Alberta leaves Canada the land rights revert to the First Nations and all those people who vote to leave become illegal squatters that nobody else wants either. They are officially the dumbest separatists on the planet.
When the Helburtan government and their unhinged supporters show you who they are, it's probably time to call in the police (who aren't hopefully the ones doing it like there were in Lethbridge).
The Helburtan government lied? Cue the shock and horror. I'd only be surprised if they accidentally told the truth some day.
I already refer to Victoria as "South Saanich", so that's available as the new municipal name. A police force amalgamation would end up with the downtown entertainment district siphoning off most of Saanich policing.
Got to get with the times and rename them the Washington Epstein Files.
So many people overreacting over every little thing makes for an internet drowning in drama that nobody needs. Life is always best when you just let people be. I do have some very strong opinions about ice cream flavours though...
I guess he's just figured he'd just get a temporary ban on Twitter as the established precedence for trying to overthrow the government. Who knew there were countries that take high treason seriously?
But the Toddler in Chief gave Russia 50 days to stop committing war crimes at an accelerated rate or they would get tariffs.
I'm pretty when Poland heard that there was a military cooperation treaty between Germany and Russia, they were saying: "Really, Germany? You were planning to do this again?"
What a relief. That only leaves technical assistance from Russia, North Korea, and India to deal with. The fact that someone would have to tell them to stop shows some pretty gross negligence in oversight that should have been stipulated in the contract at the outset.
They don't want to ban them because they're a useful tool to hunt down dissidents and 'wrong thought'. Russia lacks to manpower anymore to go door to door looking for banned books.
He's planning to sue the government and I imagine there will be lawyers lined up around the block for the kinds of settlements that are going to be extracted by these cases. The people running this circus don't care though because it's not their money.
Canada had better hope the Cons never form a government until after they've been weened off the crazy pills and go back to being just unpleasant.
"Incel Number One, if I was being detained, what would you say to me first before sweeping me off my feet and dumping me in a concentration camp?"
C'mon unhinged MAGA conspiracy theorists, connect the dots. It should be obvious to your randomly firing neurons that Trump was replaced by the Lizard People. Why else he be flip flopping on releasing the Epstein files?
Cue the MAGA conspiracy theories about Trump being replaced by the Lizard People...
The GOP worked the Epstein client list conspiracy theory hard. They promised their unhinged MAGA followers that they had the list in their possession, had seen it, and were going to publish it. Now they look just like the people they promised to expose.
For the GOP this is nothing that excessive gerrymandering can't solve.
Unless you want to have Chinese salvage teams cutting it up, you'll want to keep its location secret, because they have no respect for military sea graves.
Thank you for understanding that Superman isn't a just another story about super beings playing smash up derby with each other. It's about hope; something the world needs more of these days.
Good luck getting paid by Russian companies, who are stiffing their own citizens.
It's hard to believe Ted Cruz would cut funds for weather forecasting. I mean, how is he going to know when to flee the country ahead of the next natural disaster if he doesn't get any warning?
On a certain level you can understand the Toddler in Chief thinking you'd have to be insane to come to the US when he's the president...
It's nice to still have somewhere to hide your flash drives and SD cards from the security services of fascist governments...😂
I laughed, I cried, and was suitably horrified. I get that the concept of Lizard People is a crackpot conspiracy theory perpetuated by the truly unhinged and some grifters, but Thiel really does look at other humans like they're insects...
It looks more like a self-propelled barn.
I've always felt that what the world needs most is more billionaires in politics, fighting for the rights of the 1% of the 1% wealth holder minority.
Canada has been infected by American unhinged political culture for a couple decades now, where right wing extremists are aping what they see south of the border thanks to some well financed social media channels like Canada Proud.
