The gall of lecturing about "harsh restrictions on speech" from a country whose government will attempt to punish every opposition stance or criticism

The facile pun I’ve resisted making about Trump’s Board of Peace is that it belies the greater truth of Bored of Peace.
A hegemon committing suicide by dismantling the world order it created for its express benefit out of ennui, decadence, and gleeful ignorance. A historically grotesque display.

Yeah I still have doubts about this whole Chinese Century thing.
Zhang Youxia, the senior of the two vice chairs of the powerful Central Military Commission, is the latest figure to fall in a long-running purge of military officials.

i think a lot of Canadian elites (especially in the LPC) assumed that the annexation threats began and ended with Trudeau's final years as PM but Trump is likely to seize on what he views as someone who the rest of the world likes more than him
prediction: Trump is going to either explicitly endorse the Alberta separatists in the next two weeks or double down on the "Canada as a Chinese proxy" claim

I would advise Mayor Frey to go back onto Jake Tapper's show and when Tapper tries to bully him by saying this is all his fault for failing to Turn Down The Temperature he should call it horseshit and ask if he workshopped that one with Sean Parnell

I am tempted to say it is a priority for Ottawa in any security crisis to keep close tabs on Rutte and make *absolutely sure* that he is on the same page as us and does *not* promise or imply any concessions to Trump that we are unwilling to offer.

I would advise you to have the most blatantly racist passages of Jake Tapper's "Gangbanging in Media Land" article close at hand and be prepared to read it back to him verbatim on air the next time he tries to eyeroll you

I would advise you to, when Dana Bash asks you about the latest ridiculous statement that donald trump made, turn the question back around and ask her if it sounded to her like trump was "growing into the kind of leader we need right now"

I would advise you to remind people at every opportunity that Katilin Collins is homophobic Alabama white trash and the only news story she wrote of consequence before CNN hired her was ranking Syrian refugees by fuckability when she worked for Tucker Carlson

@fritschner.bsky.social @kenmartin.bsky.social I am *begging* you guys to realize how many of our problems are downstream of the mainstream media hating your guts and how many problems you've caused for yourself by refusing to act like it
Sean do you understand that by using Naughty Language, Jake Tapper will now say it was your fault? Or have you guys not figured out yet that the press hates your guts

stop assuming they don't know how to do their jobs and start realizing they just disagree with us on what their jobs are
Message to fellow journalists (and anyone claiming to be one): do not “police-involved shooting” executions in broad daylight.
Obfuscating language like that is completely journalistically unnecessary and, even worse, sanitizes reality.
Words have meaning. Use the right ones.

An objective description of Canadian policy vis-a-vis China trade over the last couple decades is that we keep trying to work with the US to approach is together; the US stabs us in the back, laughs and cuts a solo deal with China; then Canada tries to cut a solo deal and thr US goes fucking nuts.

After watching the NDP fail to make the housing crisis the number one or two plank of their platform seeing them to capitalize on this moment is not at all surprising. The rot runs deep and it will take more than a new leader to fix it

Yeah I figured something like this was a matter of time. However Trump felt about the deal at the moment, it was not going to be long before the American right’s stroke-out encountered the ‘last person Trump talked to’ effect.
“If Canada makes a deal with China, it will immediately be hit with a 100% Tariff against all Canadian goods and products coming into the U.S.A.”

It’s actual lunacy that so many democracies tolerate a system whereby you have a segment of the population that is denied full rights or any political representation whatsoever despite paying taxes and using the same services as everyone else around them.
Your status doesn’t actually make a difference to anyone, for better or worse, if you’ve already made it through customs.
Nobody you’ll meet in the street has any idea if you’re here for a week or the rest of your life. They’re not going to ask, and their priors make the answer largely irrelevant.

One of the things about the immigration system that is totally absent from most discourse is that it doesn’t actually address any of the concerns people have with newcomers. It just puts ordinary people through hell for no reason.

The thing is the state has a moral and political duty to all its residents, and that includes kids. If that duty involves defending kids against their parents: so be it
