In 1988, this photo ended Gary Hart's presidential hopes.
Today, Donald Trump could defecate in a child's open mouth and he would still be celebrated by his braindead legions.

20 undeveloped morning thoughts on saving the world (from a mostly Canadian perspective):

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley.
Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo.
Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles.
Get them out!

One side-effect of getting older is that I can't keep up with changes in colloquial language. Case in point: I don't know what "vibes" is supposed to mean in its current popular usage.
Also, please no one try to explain it to me. Please don't. I don't actually care.

One random takeaway from the Epstein files is that Jeffrey spent so much time responding to emails its a wonder he had any time for throwing parties or diddling girls.

Well done, CBC. Debunking rumours before they start.
Fact check.
Is his name in there? Yep.
Is it only mentioned as parts of news stories and links to news stories? Yep.
So was Carney hanging around Epstein? Nope.

Fact check: Is Prime Minister Mark Carney in the Epstein files?
CBC’s fact-check team searched for Mark Carney’s name in the U.S. Justice Department’s Epstein Library. Here’s what we found.

John Wayne played Genghis Khan (historical figure)
Keanu Reeves played the Buddha (historical figure)
Joseph Fiennes played Michael Jackson (yes, that one)
Lupita N'yongo plays Helen of Troy (fictional character) and the internet goes crazy.
What's the pattern here?

Here's the million dollar question.... will this ironically increase his support in America, where the more brazen racists are now literally throwing off their sheets to show us who they really are?
This is the put up or shut up moment for race relations in the USA.

The thing is, it wasn't just "one belligerent fool." He was empowered and supported by an entire army of smarter sycophants who supposedly knew better. But their spines and morality were not up to the task. They still aren't.

Sometimes I ask myself, what's the point of commenting and complaining about *waves* all this? Then I realize that it's therapeutic.
So I'm going to keep complaining until I find something better to do.

What Apprentice tapes? Why am I only hearing about this now?
This is overt racism. Full stop. There’s no ‘misinterpretation’ and no excuse. This is who he is, who he’s always been, and why he should never be anywhere near power again. And there’s a reason the tapes from The Apprentice have never been released.
