Hiiii!!! A simple check of wikipedia would reveal that Jes Staley was fired in 2021 and ate a lifetime ban from the British finance industry because of his ties to Epstein coming to light! Just thought folks would enjoy knowing that!

NEW MEMO: Democratic AGs File 50th Lawsuit Challenging the Trump Administration’s Lawlessness - Democratic Attorneys General Association WASHINGTON, DC – During the first Trump administration, Democratic attorneys general were quick to protect Americans by suing the administration over 150 times to prevent unlawful and harmful policies...

I don’t think this is accurate at all. Tish James tried to get Trump in jail, for instance. Democratic AGs have launched dozens of lawsuits:

I just want a nice night on the internet ca 2014 when you could think about Denver Airport conspiracy theories without worrying that maybe they were right

I think the Bat would be upset at people preying on children! Never forget: Bruce Wayne is the secret identity

I don’t think that’s entirely comparable to 2014. And I agree that 2014-2016 the response was uh tepid.

U.S. Senate: Joseph R. Biden, Jr. Cabinet Nominations

I sympathize! But, Rubio aside, Biden’s Cabinet also got a ton of bipartisan support, so the actual and perceived levels of obstruction may be slightly different

i think this is dead on re: the first. Woke 2 needs to lean in heavy on "he a little confused but he got the spirit"

i do think once it gets announced once the petition gets verified, the right-wing influencer world in the US is going to start pushing for turning Alberta into American Manchuria

Looking at this image, here's an accessible alt text description:

"Aerial view of downtown Winnipeg's skyline in winter, showing several modern office towers including prominent MTS and Investors Group buildings rising above mid-rise structures. The cityscape extends to the horizon under clear blue skies, with parking lots and snowy patches visible at street level. Visible signage includes Ricoh and Wawanesa."

Any picture of a Canadian midsize city looks more like a U.S. midsize city than a U.S. midsize city

Is this Buffalo? Indianapolis? Milwaukee? Salt Lake City? Nashville? Use it in your next powerpoint and see if anyone notices
