And I'd like to deliver world peace, prosperity, … and vitamins in the form of cotton candy, but it's not going to happen. Give me a glitzy golden prize anyway.

What departments or specific functions would they consider as waste? The general statement sounds good because saving money is appealing, but when they need to contact someone in government — other the local elected representative — who do they think is in a position to resolve their problem?

The list is longer than this, but it is a good start.

We've seen numerous peace deals involving Israel agreed to and signed over the years. They've been celebrated and ultimately they have failed. Let's wait and see how this one pans out. If the peace is only temporary, then it's merely a reload.

It occurs to me that the negative press is always focused on Tylenol, rather than acetaminophen. Someone should ask RFK Jr. about that. The makers of Tylenol have yet another reason to launch a lawsuit if they are being singled out while other manufacturers of acetaminophen remain under the radar.

They'll support such an initiative and then turn around and feel they deserve praise for any assistance given to those severely injured by it. No, that just takes them closer to the zero point at best. The deaths and lingering horrors means there is nothing positive attained, just less negative.

Too few people comprehend exponentials. Humans cannot grasp the concept. We have no feeling for such a rate of change.

And when this is all over and IF there is the opportunity to charge her, we'll hear how it should be ignored in her case in the interest of "healing the nation". That is crap of course, but get ready for it. (I hope there will be such an opportunity in the future.)

I presume that their health insurance coverage has been impacted by this as well & they will be required to re-qualify once work resumes.I might feel differently about this if elected members were in the same boat, but they voted to secure their financial packages, failing to do the same for others.

Perhaps Antifa is led by interstellar aliens capable of extreme subterfuge . . . might as well embellish the myth of the existence of such an organisation, though a very disorganised one lacking a leader.

In answer to all three of your questions: Because $$ must now be directed to those causes dear to Donald, such as farm subsidies to shore up his MAGA support as he contemplates another run in 2028, and funding directed to the tech zillionaires in an ongoing welfare for the wealthy program.

Frustrating to hear people attempt to blame such a candidate for their inability to convince the voter. I think it's because some people cannot take ownership of their bad decisions.

I hear how he has security clearance, just hasn't bothered to renew it 'cuz it would be used to silence him. I'm unimpressed by the reasoning. I don't care about clearance he managed to get yrs ago; I'm concerned about today. His silence would be golden: no more vitriolic barking of falsehoods.

Trump thinks you should get a job. He also has no realisation that many people lack substantial savings, so there is no time to "tolerate" any negative situation and ride it out.

At the very least, they should be subjected to the most severe punishments. They have terrorised people and brought disrepute upon government representatives. (Yeah, even though a large number of actual government representatives are bringing disrepute upon themselves and the country.)

Carney’s Rope-a-Dope: We Flattered the Toddler, We Got Our Leverage Mark Carney’s flattery was pure diplomatic strategy to buy time and expose Trump’s ego-driven trade war, proving Canada’s win was walking away calm, clean, and un-annexed.

I thought all MAGA said that they knew what Trump meant when he delivered his verbal word salad.They claimed they knew he was just kidding when he said certain things.They laughed at the concerns expressed by those who did not agree with their views.I doubt they have reached enlightenment, even now.

Re: Also, a couple of subtle jokes at their expanse would be nice.

For a very brief moment, perhaps. But when negotiating long-term agreements with another nation on behalf of over 40 million Canadians, a more subtle and respectful approach is far wiser and likely to be more productive.

Boycotts by Cndns are preferable to imposed sanctions.No one can force you to buy USA or travel to the USA.Support Cndn companies & turn the tide in our favour.Sanctions R the government making USA goods more expensive for Cndns. THAT annoys others countries (USA). People Power: Boycotts are great!

Perhaps they need to update their definition of tyranny, with examples.

Lovely lighting — and I wanna buy a hat just like that!

He criticises, and rather than offer realistic and effective process, offers universally-desirable general goals with claims of simplistic and unrealistic actions to achieve them. His approach is child-like and naive, but appeals to those who lack knowledge of the complexities of the situation.

Trump's flirtation with pardoning his old Epstein pal Maxwell isn't just tone-deaf, it's a grotesque reminder that the powerful always protect their own, no matter how many lives they ruin.

Jeffries: "Why don't Republicans want to swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva. Is it the Epstein files?"

Love this. Superbly done. Please send this far and wide. @donwinslow.bsky.social

But they won't be because no one is willing to hold Trump accountable. The order of priority appears to be: #1 Trump, #2 Trump friends, #3 USA tangible assets, especially if they can be sold or used to enhance the life of Trump … #? Citizens of the USA

No joy is having the opportunity to shout: I told you so, is there?
