Moving off of Xitter and easing into retirement. I'll be out walking my dog, riding my bike in the summer, snowboarding in the winter, and travelling whenever possible.

'Undue': Judge Cannon slammed by appeals court after Jack Smith's report on Trump delayed The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals has ordered U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon to stop delaying the release of the remaining parts of special counsel Jack Smith's report on President Donald Tru...

Appeals court rules Cannon must release the rest of Jack Smithโ€™s report on Trump stealing government classified documents.
โ€œBy suppressing the document she is undermining accountability and the law.โ€ She has 60 days to release them.

Pierre Poilievre, literally banished to an Albertan manure patch, strayed from the path of true traditional Canadian conservatism. Plenty of Conservatives in Canada, even in the CPC caucus, want to return to their principled roots, and KNOW importing MAGA stupidity and bigotry is not the way to go.

You assume that there are any good Canadian Conservatives left. The Reform Party has assimilated them all.

Holy Warrior โ€” The Atlantic Pete Hegseth is bringing his fundamentalist interpretation of Christianity into the Pentagon.

This is incredibly well-writtenโ€ฆ and also maximally terrifying. We have a confused adolescent wielding the power of the โ€œSecretary of War.โ€ What is most sobering is the complete lack of understanding of Americaโ€™s history and *why* the institutions are the way they are. /1

The president had a MRI but won't say why.

He had bruises on his hands but wouldn't say why.

He just had an 'annual medical' even though he already had his annual medical.

He got shot in the ear but has never released the medical records relating to it.

How is any of this ok?

โ€˜When Scott Bessent lived at 720 Park Avenue I would often see him coming home, dusty, from a long day toiling in the soy fields of Wall Street. Sowing the rows between the hedge funds, ignoring the catcalls of โ€˜soy boy!โ€™ from mergers & acquisition jerks. Head down, he persistedโ€™

Longest government shutdown in US history - 35 days (Dec โ€˜18 - Jan โ€˜19)

Second longest shutdown - 22 days+ (Oct 1st โ€˜25 - present day)

Both shutdowns occurred under Trump.

How Americans let this criminal lunatic keep failing upwards will vex historians for generations to come.

Iโ€™ve said it often the past 10 months, but the ONLY thing that will cause many, many Americans to turn against this dishonest, ignorant, dangerous madman is pain. Economic pain. Caused directly by him. Itโ€™s too bad, but itโ€™s gonna take real economic pain to wake lots of folks up.
