I remember growing up in a conservative household I was told about how in communist dictatorships, the people starve while the leaders build opulent palaces and ballrooms. Anyway, not sure why I brought that up.

I made my choice in the last election. I made a clear choice that I want Carney as PM and Poilievre is extremely unfit for his job. I expect my choice as a voter to be respected. If I have to repeat myself louder next time- so be it.

'This is not a game,' Carney says as he signals he's ready to fight election over federal budget | CBC News Prime Minister Mark Carney signalled at the close of the APEC summit that he'd be prepared to fight an election over the upcoming federal budget — remarks that set the stage for a parliamentary showdo...

I don’t want an election.
I don’t think we should have to waste millions on an election.
But if an election is forced on us by the opposition parties, I am 10000000000% prepared to make sure they suffer for it and will vote for Carney again.

Danielle Smith isn’t just picking fights with Ottawa; she’s threatening Alberta’s future.

If she wants a referendum on separation, bring it on.

Albertans will defeat it.

'This was bonkers': Diplomacy expert cringes at Trump's 'out-of-control' UN speech

Rid me of this meddlesome priest, Pam! How mob boss Trump sped through all of Watergate in just a single weekend.

"We are watching a Watergate-level presidential scandal unfold basically every day — and they’re happening so quickly and so blatantly it’s nearly impossible to process," writes @vermontgmg.bsky.social in his latest newsletter.

I know “every accusation is a confession” gets said a lot but holy shit this is a doozy. The whole conservative media sphere is funded by dark money and being the death drive for a third of the nation is its whole point. Keep buying guns. Don’t get vaxxed. No preventative care. Work until the grave.

Most countries recognize deeply unserious leadership candidates, but American exceptionalism being what it is …

“Democracy dies in darkness*“

“*Or, with our help, in broad daylight.”

For the record, the Soviet Union made an obligatory hero/object of reverence out of Pavlik Morozov, a boy who according to the myth was heroic for ratting out his father to the GPU/Thought Police, and a martyr because his family killed him for it.

This is out-Sovieting the Soviet Union. "You are free to express any opinion at all as long as it's the right one, and the consequences for all the others will be severe, and ratting out is an important part of our free society."

I think we should start referring to the CDC in the style of "X (formerly known as Twitter)"--"Empty buildings in Atlanta formerly known as the CDC."

A cult of personality. What could go wrong?

Let me see if I understand Christian Nationalist logic . . . God spared a rapist like Trump so he could take food and medicine from little kids, but he didn't spare two little kids in Minneapolis this week.

In fairness, it is consistent. Neither Christian Nationalists nor God like little children.

Abrego Garcia Requests Asylum in the United States

The irony is that most countries would give Kilmar Abrego Garcia asylum from persecution *in* the United States.

"Literally no one thinks prayer is a substitute for action."

Then why is prayer, literally, *always* the substitute for action, you willfully obtuse asshole?

This is officially known as the "Alan Dershowitz" form of snowflakery.

If Ashli Babbitt's parents really wanted to avenge her death they would, instead of pitifully whitewashing her legacy, be suing Fox News for filling their child's gullible head with dangerous nonsense that directly led to her death.

Oh, honey . . . JD Vance isn't even ready to be *vice* president.

Funny how every Republican who talks about venerating our history has such a terrible grasp of history.

If that's so, then aren't you releasing the files? 🤔

Pritzker: "It's cheating. Donald Trump is a cheater. He cheats on his wives. He cheats at golf. And now he's trying to cheat the American people out of their votes."

Norman: "Higher Prices Are For Good Of The Country" - Joe.My.God. “I think a lot of people are seeing higher prices. Our family’s in the construction business, and we get a lot of our timber from Canada and other countries. Yes, it’s higher. Steel prices are up, but...

But thank GOD they are bankrupt their own trashy base! Knowing they’re suffering too, hopefully worse, is a little satisfaction

This seems desperate. As in if Trump were in the clear, you wouldn’t have to deflect attention.

are all the wannabe dictators on some kind of signal group chat or something

i know this is quaint of me but the white house renovation is crazy illegal and actually really emblematic of how trump sees the presidency as belonging to him
