I've said this before and I think it's pertinent... In the topsy-turvy world of my imagination, it is only a matter of time before people start tasing ICE agents and securing them with zip ties, removing their masks and disappearing them to who knows where. I'll wait. πŸ‘

I was born in Montreal, but spent my baby-hood in Kingsport, King's County, NS. with my Mom and my grandmother (when my Dad was busy with the RCAF Korean Airlift). While growing up, I spent many summers in NS, and I miss the visits to Halifax. I love the place! Welcome to Bluesky! πŸ‘

It has been reported that a member of Trump's team was responsible for the escalator mishap and his teleprompter malfunction. So much for hiring "the best people for the job". πŸ‘

As I said elsewhere: "If you think your name might be listed within... and the release of the Epstein files will give you a headache, try Tylenol !!!" πŸ‘

Hey humans! You need more balance. Whatever upsets you, change it, or let it go. Try and see things for what they really are. Be grateful for the good things (and there are many)! Oppose the bad things because they are the root of any unhappiness you may feel. Be kind. Don't hurt anyone.

I so wanted to press the "This guy is an A$$hat" button, but as usual, it wasn't there. πŸ˜’

Tomorrow he meets with Zelenskyy and allies. I hope they remind him that he has no cards, no deals, no power. He is morally, diplomatically and credibly bankrupt. If he really wanted to accomplish something concrete, he would sanction and tariff Russia. The king of word salad, maker of nothing.

Thoughts and prayers... maybe some hope.

As a response to "How are you?" one might say, "Could be better." I usually say, "I'm okay... I hope." πŸ˜‰

It would be an appropriate touch if Zelenskyy (with his allies and supporters) reminded Trump that despite his threats and promises, and based on his actions and results, he (Trump) "holds no cards" to negotiate anything for anyone. πŸ˜’

"six times longer than Dr. Phil’s"... Excellent! That's an accomplishment worth being proud of! πŸ‘ Keep up the great work!

O’Leary seldom knows what he's talking about. A king of bad advice. He's from Canada. Thank goodness he's pursued more money away from here. He's an embarrassment to our flag and an insult to everyone's intelligence. Don't listen to him... and don't pay him for his pointless opinion.

Sure... let them wear masks, but before they proceed with any actions, they should produce proper and complete I.D. and a valid warrant... and if they fail to do so, they should be arrested for kidnapping. πŸ˜’

Both are interesting, but portray very different "feels". πŸ‘

...the last thing you'll get to say before they tase you! πŸ˜’ It would seem the U.S. used to have laws and a constitution that are now ignored by the current administration. ☹️

In addition, Carney has had success inking alliances with other countries like Japan to deal with the potential losses of trade with the USA. Carney can think. PP cannot.

"Carney did not say if he's willing to accept tariffs... Carney said Canada will sign an agreement "that's in Canada's best interest, and only that."" It's easy for the unemployed PP to cast shade on the winner of the election, especially since many in his own party support Carney's stance.

I would have guessed 50-something or maybe 60-ish, but I found out that he is 44. That is what acting like a useless turd can do to you. Has he raced alligators yet? It only takes one bad decision. πŸ˜‰

Really lovely work! ...but "crotched" or "crocheted"... there is a subtle difference in spelling, but the images in my brain are so very different. πŸ˜‰

According to Wikipedia: "Born: May 21, 1993 (age 32 years)", but life has been hard for her... after all, she is a staunch republican and doesn't know what "communism" means. πŸ˜‰

That's not a nice thing to say about a person who is 32 years old and looks 47 (with the mind of a spoiled 11 year old). πŸ˜‰
