Yes. This business shows that not only does Trump not understand tariffs or trade or economics, he doesn’t even grasp the basic purpose of money.

So RFK’s stance about not being antivax but wanting more transparency and information about vaccine safety was a lie after all. As soon as an expert engaged with him in a good faith attempt to meet these demands and give RFK all the information he said he wanted, he hid in his office while sending his goons to fire the guy. Clearly he was pissed that someone had called his bluff.

Yes, Americans have somehow come to believe that, among the things the USSR did, providing housing and education to ordinary people is bad, while disappearing people based on their political opinions to be killed or worked to death in gulags is good.

Line must go down.

But US industries will surely appear by magic, immediately and without any prior planning, to fill the gaps. All the government needs to do is make it incredibly painful for anyone to do business with anyone.

If they still want him as leader they’ll just arrange for him to have a seat in some safer riding.

Enola still sounds a bit woman-y. Maybe replace it with something manly like Donald.

He’s evidently working to destroy the USA and its alliances, which serves Russia’s interests. But it’s hard to know whether he’s doing so deliberately or unwittingly.

Are fish in the sea wet? Or are things wet only when they have some water on them but not all of the water? So then do fish get wet the moment you take them out of the water?

UK was ahead of its time with Brexit and Liz Truss/Kwasi Kwarteng. Economic suicide is all the rage now.

PP looks at the USA right now and thinks “Yep, that’s what I want for Canada.” Vote, and keep him away from power.

There’s another one behind him, underneath all the orange spray paint.

And taking the rest of us with them. Measles is popping up all over the place.

We’re not out of the woods yet.

Because someone has to pay them so they can make a living doing it, and the public are very reluctant to pay for news.

I have a bunch of colleagues like this. If they were left to their ways we’d still be using unpatched frameworks from 20 years ago. I find it pretty frustrating.

If Pierre Poilievre is not a true conservative, what is he? Bourrie attempts to pinpoint this and ends up with a blend of nationalism, populism, a hint of racism, and something close to demagogic fascism. This depends on the lie for its success. The bigger the lie the better, and Poilievre is a master of this art. Sometimes well concealed.

Poilievre does nothing positive, has never had a proper job, always criticizes others for what they do while offering no initiatives of his own. He’s a political grifter, a fake, who has no idea of how to govern and no interest in doing so. All he knows is how to complain and tell a self-serving lie. It’s easy to criticize others but difficult to do better oneself, and his solution has always been not to even try.

The poor need to rebalance this interest calculation for them.

*The right bathroom.

Gonna need some funds for that.
