Show me a society that doesn't understand and appreciate that one of the fundamental roles of government is to protect its most vulnerable, and I'll show you one that elects a malignant narcissist to the highest office in the land.

My first question:

Why is there a "2" next to the Blue Jays?

(Should be 3: 1992, 1993, and, umm... THIS YEAR! 😁)

Hey #Math teachers,

Start telling (or reminding) your students that:

Subtraction π™žπ™¨ addition (...by the additive inverse); and
Division π™žπ™¨ multiplication (...by the multiplicative inverse)

In other words, subtraction & division are π˜Ώπ™€π™π™„π™‰π™€π˜Ώ as:

a - b ≝ a + (-b)

a Γ· b ≝ a Γ— b⁻¹

It's also important to know when to step aside. That time was a decade ago.

Next logical step:

Schumer follows Pelosi's lead and announces he's also stepping down.

"We are calling for projects that would link communities across Canada with clean electrical power and modern high-speed rail."

That's the sort of nation-building that Carney's budget should have contained -- but didn't.

"Electoral reform would be tantamount to enacting political antitrust legislation."

Exactly. Politicians shouldn't be allowed to set the rules by which politicians are elected. This is the job of an independent, non-partisan body in the form of a Citizens' Assembly.

If Democrats think that the *long-term answer* to dealing with Trump's disastrous presidency is to simply vote him and other Republicans out, they are mistaken.

The *structural weaknesses* that have been exposed by Trump need to be addressed.

Will they actually do this? Almost certainly not.

I should call asking if I can vote in the New York City election.

Ya know, since I live in Toronto, Canada.

This is the president of the United States taking a break from gold-and-marble interior renovations to say he’ll defy a court order to feed hungry Americans.

Nero would be proud.

Agreed. There is an entire army of people surrounding him who are only too happy to stroke his flimsy ego and manipulate him. His presidency will require a lifetime of work to undo the damage it has done on the world stage to America's (former) partnerships. Starting with the one with Canada.

I guess you missed the fact that the Dodger racked up a TON of errors, while the Jays were, overall, magnificent on defence.

That stupid ball that got stuck at the outfield wall was the difference in what was essentially a coin flip of a series.

It's unclear to me why anyone would sit and read the transcript when everyone [who isn't a member of his cult] already knows the guy is a professional liar and a con-man. Nothing coming out of his month can be trusted.

The lack of understanding of the power of, and susceptibility to cults is one of America's greatest weaknesses. Is it a surprise that it's the birthplace of the Mormons, the Jehovah's Witnesses, the Church of Scientology, and countless others?
