Holy shit! Trump has no decency or compassion.

A reporter asked if he planned to attend the funeral of Sarah Beckstrom, the National Guard member who just died.

Instead of offering condolences, he said he would β€œconsider it” and pivoted to bragging about his margin of victory in West Virginia.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave a spoken directive, according to two people with direct knowledge of the operation. "The order was to kill everybody," one of them said.
A missile screamed off the Trinidad coast, striking the vessel and igniting a blaze from bow to stern. For minutes, commanders watched the boat burning on a live drone feed.
As the smoke cleared, they got a jolt: Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck.
The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack - the opening salvo in the Trump administration's war on suspected drug traffickers in the Western Hemisphere β€” ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth's instructions, two people familiar with the matter said. The two men were blown apart in the water.

I have volumes of ugly tracts about how Jews, Germans, Finns, Hungarians, Poles, and "Papists" can't possibly acclimate to American life because they are hereditary degenerates.

If we don't privatise everything that the people own and award contracts to the company that donates the most to a political party then where do we expect politicians to make money from when their terms end

What I always find fascinating about comments like this is that they have been made about literally every immigrant group throughout American history: Germans, Irish, Miller's Jewish ancestors, etc.

Re: Yasny/Dumbarovsky missile launch failure, I had twigged this NOTAM earlier today, together with a NOTAM over Kura, but wasn't sure if they were actually going to launch or not.

Guess they answered that.

The method to Mark Carney’s madness The memorandum of understanding with Alberta might look like surrender. Look closer

Mark Carney managed to trade a pipeline that will never get built for meaningful progress on industrial carbon pricing and electricity interties β€” both of which will get more wind and solar built.

Remember when people thought he wasn't good at politics? www.nationalobserver.com/2025/11/27/o...

New pipeline deal with Carney is Alberta's 'moment of opportunity,' Smith says | CBC

Trudeau had taxpayers buy a pipeline and Alberta just pissed in his face about it.

Smith is so full of shit, her rhetoric is only believable if you're an idiot.

I don't support taxpayers subsidizing foreign owned companies.

There's a scene in one of the Dracula movies where he wakes up on the bottom of the ocean only to walk up on a beach on the coast of England. He hides out in someone's apartment and asks them if they are royalty - given that they are surrounded by riches unthinkable to past kings.

It’s almost like kicking people out of hospital immediately post-surgery, with only a 2- or 6-week follow up and no access to govt funded OT, PT, dietitian, or social work support - and nowhere to call - isn’t working out the best.

Do you think it’s the underfunding by ghoulish premiers? Maybe?
