...and folks continue to kiss Trump's sizeable ass. Makes me laugh every single time one of his surrogates or acolytes experiences the tires on Trump's bus.

Same in Canada. Rural areas vote conservative. Hell, I've seen Trump 2024 signs west of Ottawa in the Lanark Highlands. I don't get it, and never will.

Iran, which is being beat to HELL, has apologized and surrendered to its Middle East neighbors, and promised that it will not shoot at them anymore. This promise was only made because of the relentless U.S. and Israeli attack. They were looking to take over and rule the Middle East. It is the first time that Iran has ever lost, in thousands of years, to surrounding Middle Eastern Countries. They have said, β€œThank you President Trump.” I have said, β€œYou’re welcome!” Iran is no longer the β€œBully of the Middle East,” they are, instead, β€œTHE LOSER OF THE MIDDLE EAST,” and will be for many decades until they surrender or, more likely, completely collapse! Today Iran will be hit very hard! Under serious consideration for complete destruction and certain death, because of Iran’s bad behavior, are areas and groups of people that were not considered for targeting up until this moment in time. Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Trump's psychotic, murderous post: "Iran is being beat to HELL … They said, 'Thank you President Trump.' I said, 'You’re welcome!' ... Today Iran will be hit very hard! Under serious consideration for destruction & certain death are groups of people not considered for targeting until this moment"

Meanwhile….”US could lift sanctions on more Russian oil”

I’ve asked this same question repeatedly since the Trump regime began destroying everything: is this toxic administration doing anything differently than if it were a traitor regime filled with Kremlin assets working to sabotage America?

Asking Texas to do the right thing is like asking Alberta, Canada to do the right thing.

Hope springs eternal as does disappointment.

I just watched PM Mark Carney address the Parliament of Australia. I am so proud to have him representing Canada on the world stage.

We desperately needed his kind of leadership. We now have someone establishing strategic alliances with trusted middle powers.

We can no longer rely on hegemons.

"Can I be honest," asks Trump.

Well, that's a really stupid question.

Markwayne Mullin, Maga β€˜warrior’ and ICE defender, to replace Kristi Noem Trump-backed US senator and ex-MMA fighter a vocal supporter of ICE’s β€˜red-blooded American patriots’

"When naming [Mullin] to succeed Noem, Trump called [him] a 'Maga warrior' and highlighted his undefeated mixed martial arts career."

Mullin will be such an improvement over Noem πŸ™„.

The US political system sure knows how to pick 'em.

Russia is aiding Iran’s war effort by providing intel on US military targets, sources say | CNN Politics Russia is providing Iran with intelligence about the locations and movements of American troops, ships and aircraft, according to multiple people familiar with US intelligence reporting on the issue, ...

Super shocking. Given that Russia helped our enemies during Vietnam, Korea, and both gulf wars, who could have guessed this would happen. www.cnn.com/2026/03/06/p...

I mean, why even go there unless you want to gin up your base of racists? Someone, somewhere, needs to hide MAGA's dog whistles.

BTW, Trump's administration and the cult on Truth Social are saying a lot of shit "out loud" that is completely anathema to the values we Canadians share.

Fuck off!
