just taking tonight to really appreciate all these years of journalistic tut-tut-tutting about how over-the-top it was for anyone to focus on trump's affinity for russia and putin.

The largest purchaser of wine is the Liquor Control Board of Ontario.
The shelves of Kentucky whiskey, American beer and California wine are now empty.
The LCOBO was doing a brisk business - good news for Canadian, French, Spanish, Australian, Chilean.
Sucks for Kentucky and California.

First they came for the federal employees,
And I did not speak out,
Because I was not a federal employee

You know the rest of the poem.

Opinion | The way to avoid tragedies like yesterday's crash is to use hiring practices that put only the most qualified people in important federal jobs.

I’m asking companies not to let TikTok stay dark! I will issue an executive order on Monday to extend the period of time before the law’s prohibitions take effect, so that we can make a deal to protect our national security. The order will also confirm that there will be no liability for any company that helped keep TikTok from going dark before my order.
 
Americans deserve to see our exciting Inauguration on Monday, as well as other events and conversations.
 
I would like the United States to have a 50% ownership position in a joint venture.  By doing this, we save TikTok, keep it in good hands and allow it to say up.  Without U.S. approval, there is no Tik Tok.  With our approval, it is worth hundreds of billions of dollars - maybe trillions. 
 
Therefore, my initial thought is a joint venture between the current owners and/or new owners whereby the U.S. gets a 50% ownership in a joint venture set up between the U.S. and whichever purchase we so choose.

Trump's proposal is to save TikTok is to give the federal government, run by him, direct control over TikTok. What could go wrong?

I knew Trump was racist, but I didn’t care until I learned he was racist against people like me.

Absolutely batshit that Pierre Poilievre, who will probably be our next PM, is sitting down with present-day far-right grifter Jordan Peterson.
