Thanks for what I perceive as a "woke agenda", I am hoping it makes a difference.
In solidarity.

"With Ghetto Stevie"

People, don't you understand
The child needs a helping hand
'Cause he's grow to be an angry young man some day
Take a look at you and me
Are we too blind to see?
Do we simply turn our heads
And look the other way?

I would think an outbuilding, behind the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, with the inscription "See, It Can Happen Again" with a endless video montage of Trump and all his cohorts and enablers spewing their perverse lies might be a fitting tribute.
Or maybe in the Epstein ballroom?

Yeah, I thought it was just murder of innocent people but it turns out that murder of innocent people for a political objective (overthrow a government and put a toady in power to get their oil?) is terrorism so you are right.

I know, always gets in the way of a good narrative or bedtime story.

We must have had a bumper crop here in Nanaimo, lots of big ones and only $3.97 each (cheaper tomorrow I bet).
I would think Jays themed pumpkin carvings and costumes will be the big "hit" tonight alright! πŸ‘πŸŽƒ

"The Toronto Star tallied 5,276 false claims from January 2017 to June 2019, an average of six per day"
Good to see they think he is now a reliable source.

I agree with everything you say and as a Canadian I can add U.S. Ambassador Pete Hoekstra to that pile. Please take him back, even George Santos would be way better, more qualified and wouldn't swear at us.

If had to spend any time with him and his cadre, I would want a place to wash up to try get the dirt and slime off.

Here's the DEA's report on fentanyl from January 2020, I don't see Canada or Venezuela listed as sources so somehow those countries really ramped up production to be taking the hit for this problem. πŸ€”
Or Epstein.

Dolly Parton and Burt Reynolds made a movie about a Little House in Texas that Dapper Donnie (Diaper Donnie?) would have been quite comfy using his interior design skills fitting out.

My wife requested this, by the time I figured out how a guy with limited artistic skills could pull it off I had spent 2 hours.
Go Jays!

Yeah, I am glad of the mute button.
I avert my gaze during breaks and just pretend it is all just for fun and entertainment (I realize that calling out the delusional is a thing, but this is mine and I need it now).
Go Jays!🐦🐦

Unfortunately we don't have Trump strength RAID, and if we did, probably wouldn't use it.

Come nighttime, I dropped them into a garbage bag and let them be furious.
This was my version diplomacy and negotiation.
No use trying to out rage the world's largest rage farmer.

I have a personal experience somewhat similar.
I once had a bunch of mad hornets build a nest under the eaves of my outbuilding. When I approached with aggression, they got madder and more aggressive. I let them be mad and buzz around and carried on with my day.

At least he doesn't hide his disdain for us. It comes across as if he believes we are vermin.
I would hate liking a person and then having the rug pulled out from under us.
Pete Hoekstra is a perfect compliment to his Cheeto God.

Ahhh, Mike, Mike, Mike!
Your self-abnegating behavior trying to ingratiate yourself to your cult leader!
I guess it's always been your greatest gift but now it's at the expense of an entire country.
I would say shame on you, but I am sure that's your second greatest gift.

Well, no matter what anyone has ever thought or said about Erin O'Toole, the one thing I believe we can all agree on, he can't read a room or guage public sentiment on pretty well any topic.

"Hypocrisy is the practice of feigning moral standards or beliefs that one does not actually have or follow. It involves a contradiction between what a person says they believe and how they actually behave, such as criticizing others for an action they themselves have done."

Thanks for doing that, my wife and I got ours recently, similar experience, not wanting to be "spreaders" or be spread upon.
After years of traveling for work in busses and on planes then being in a large office building, never getting shots, I am now amazed how good it feels to always feel good.
