David Simon is all of us.

I will simply celebrate her decision and hope the end comes soon.

If you look closely you can see the moment Rubio's soul leaves his body.

I'm certain they're acting in good faith.

100%.

I just don't see MAGA coming around, nor do I believe their movement is new.

They've always been cranks, bigots, bullies & conspiracy theorists & we've recognized them by those labels.

It's just that now they're legitimized with a new name by their champion - the world's most powerful man.

These people have existed in large numbers across the country, simply waiting for the right opportunity/vehicle to allow them to do what they've hungered for.

The common enemy is roughly half the voting population - both those who voted for Trump despite knowing what he was and those who didn't oppose what he was enough to show-up and cast a ballot against him.

It's a terrifying thought to consider.

Luna doesn't breathe without Trump's approval.

If this is happening - and there's no reason it should - it's happening at Trump's direction.

A picture of the June Callwood quote:

If any of you happens to see an injustice, you are no longer a spectator, you are a participant, and you have an obligation to do something.

My favorite on the subject...

Dougie's cabinet sees the Premier's corruption and wants to impress their boss by matching him.

Do those large companies have out-sized influence on the process? Sure, but I believe the jurisdiction and willingness of those regulators to push back matters too - but I hear you...

Huh? I must have missed the part where I complained more about E-bikes than cars. We were discussing bikes, so I mentioned the issues with high speed E-bikes...

I drive a car, too. Would a treatise on the ills of single-driver commuting or distracted driving sooth your chafe?

The yo-hos who've invested in those illegal bikes here seem to have missed that memo.

Sure. That doesn't mean people should be riding Class 3's weaving between lanes, ignoring stop signs & red lights, and pulling onto the sidewalk when it's convenient.

As a cyclist myself it always seems the people buying Class 3's are the worst of us who couldn't follow the law on unpowered bikes.

It's even better to do it safely.

The people I see on them need to figure out what they're riding.

You want to drive at 50km/h like a car? Cool. License them. Take up the space a car would. No riding on the shoulder, weaving between cars, and stay-off sidewalks.

Now there's no problem.

I'm in Toronto and fairly regularly see E-bikes keeping up with - or passing - cars doing 40 to 50km/h.

Its crazy...

Has anyone ever publicly asked him what Trump has on him or what Trump told him that day they went golfing and his opinion of him did a 180?

The fact that people like Johnson are so comfortable lying - about profoundly consequential things - is proof they have no conviction in their faith.

If he really believed, he'd know his actions will send him to hell.

After operating for years as a 'theme park' where you could pay to watch whales slowly be killed, Marineland attempts to extort taxpayers to pay for their care - or they'll kill them

The Fed needs to shut them down, pursue legal action against them, and save the whales!

People get roped in with his folksy demeanor and occasional call out of Trump, but we need to remember who Doug is...

A former dealer, a long-time friend and fan of Trump who turned on him when it was expedient, a man with a history of secrecy and terrible decisions.

Doug's not our friend.

If that's the plan McGrath should just stay home.

Really, though?

If Satan were running for President, and people didn't explicitly vote against him though they knew he was Satan and was friends with the Project 2025 guys, they chose Satan.

Whatever the reason for abstaining, the result was the same as if they voted for him...
