Implicit in every pardon is an admission of guilt. A pardon is not an exoneration.
NEGUSE: AG Bondi, that man works for you now, right? The man in that video from J6 yelling 'kill them!' at cops. His name is Jared Wise.

BONDI: He does work for us, yes. I believe he was pardoned

NEGUSE: And you expect hard-working police officers to believe you take law enforcement seriously?

JFC, how idiotic, cruel, and irresponsible.
Within hours, we already had an elected official—B.C. MLA Tara Armstrong—blaming the Tumbler Ridge school shooting on gender-affirming care.

Love this part: "My first instinct — that I didn't think too well on — I walked out and punched it right in the face,"

So much for "Trust your instincts." 😄

A starving and cold moose was huddled against the house, tucked next to the warmth of a dryer vent. It didn’t take long before it attacked Angie Tuffnell.

If I ever do something stupid that gains public attention, I pray to all the gods that Ben Shapiro doesn't come to my defense.

Hoo, boy, I wish. But it was only a couple of days ago, U.S. media were talking about Trump "softening" his position on ICE.

This prayer can essentially be boiled down to this: "Dear God, please make our president less of an asshole. Amen."
wow -- with Trump standing behind him, a man (not sure who he is) offers this prayer: "We pray that he would be mindful of the poor and that he would be invested in the alleviation of suffering happening in the families preparing to bury their loved ones in Minneapolis."

Damn.
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Chuck Schumer is obviously living in the timeline that I wish I were living in. That's unfortunate, because the rest of us are stuck in this timeline.

I get that men our age (Chuck's and mine) have difficulty adapting to abrupt, wrenching change, but my oath, what a failure to rise to the occasion.
Democrats want commonsense reform for ICE:

End the roving patrols and racial profiling.

Take accountability and abide by the same rules as local police.

Masks need to come off, body cameras need to stay on—no secret police in the United States of America.

He's gonna rip down the f'in Kennedy Center now. Just watch.
Trump: "I have determined that the fastest way to bring The Trump Kennedy Center to the highest level of Success, Beauty, and Grandeur, is to cease Entertainment Operations for an approximately two year period of time, with a scheduled Grand Reopening that will rival and surpass anything."

How are we in Saskatchewan doing with life expectancy through COVID? Pretty awful, actually.
New Statistics Canada report shows SK life expectancy is 2nd lowest of 🇨🇦’s provinces in 2024, down from 3rd lowest in last year before the pandemic.

Jesus H Delusional Christ, they shot him AFTER they already had him on the ground and had disarmed him. His phone could have looked like a rocket launcher and it wouldn't justify shooting him in the back while he's facedown on the ground.

“Kelly creates his own version of Saturday's tragic events by claiming a black iPhone or cell phone looks exactly like a gun, and if Pretti pointed it at the ICE agents as if he was going to shoot them, then the ICE agents had cause to shoot him.”
