HOLD UP. This headline from the @wsj.com is dead wrong - No one at the actual opening ceremonies thinks the US team was being booed. Come on! The CBC broadcasters & people in the stadium are all crystal clear that JD VANCE WAS BEING BOOED, not the team.

First day in the Game of Thrones writers room:
New guy: How do I write in Game of Thrones english?
Head writer: Instead of “Sir”, it’s “Ser”, and instead of “perhaps” it’s “mayhaps”.
New guy: Is that it?
Head writer: Well, also be sure to add loads of dragons and boobs.
That’s pretty much it.

Then huge BOOS as JD Vance comes on the big screen in the stadium.
Even the commentators can’t hide it…

This was, of course, an attack not just on the Obamas, but against all black people and all people of colour.
The message is that you can become president of the United States, and it won't change how we (racists) see you.
And phony excuses aside, you can't unring that bell.
Impeach him.

If Reynolds and Mac get Wrexham to the PL next season (or even the one after that), I can’t think of a more successful investment within that time period.

1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

Reminder that even as Donald Trump is posting horrifically racist videos portraying the Obamas as monkeys, Trump will always have a loyal fart-catcher in Ezra Levant.

The NDP is firmly in 'yikes' territory.
There is an interesting dynamic in Canada right now. The NDP is much stronger than the Liberals in many provinces, but is circling the drain federally.

Apropos of that Trump video — there is a reason why, when researching my book, I came to believe that Barack Obama's election was the moment when America's democratic crisis began.
It set off a racial backlash to civil rights that has been the defining force in our politics since.
