Being a dog slave saves me from thinking too much about the future and needlessly ruminating about the past.

Hang in there, Heather. You are not alone. Izzy-E keeps my wife and I grounded in the here and now. All she cares about is the moment (and me, occasionally). Without her tearing us away from the darkness, we don't know what we'd do. ❀️✌️

I will never forgive Pierre Poilievre for actively supporting the white trash that descended on my neighbourhood in 2022, crying freedom in one of the freest countries in the world.

I'd like to ask the prick how many Nazi flags is one too many.

So much "winning".

*Whining.

I find it interesting that there have been no defamation lawsuits filed by Trump against those who have been referring to him as a paedophile.

The reprobate must fear the discovery process? Why that guy hasn't been run out of DC on a rail, I will never know.

Such a laughable situation. No one knows what caused it?

A snow removal company piled a bunch of snow on the roof top. The roof collapsed right underneath the pile. Peter, I think you and I can reach our own conclusions. ✌️

Trump administration drops effort against law firms after judges find president's orders unconstitutional Numerous judges have ruled against Trump's executive orders targeting certain law firms.

This flew under the radar, but Trump's DOJ has abandoned its legal assault on the law firms that courageously refused to bend the knee to him.

This should serve as a reminder for the firms that sucked up to Trump: appeasing a tyrant will get you nowhere.

REF Trump attacking the UK and Starmer.

Trump quoting Churchill - what a laugh, Winston would not have had any time for #Felon47

His reaction would have been rather rude with ✌️ in reverse.

Trump a draft dodger and COWARD.

And just like that the plight of the Palestinians is tossed into the dustbin of history.

Netanyahu needs to appear before the International Criminal Court.

Why he hasn't surrendered is a mystery to me (sarcasm).

There is zero humanity in the man.
It's all about the transaction and the accumulation of material wealth. I believe he knows he's universally hated by those within his orbit and the rest of us. It's the reason why he blows sunshine up his own ass. Self preservation.
