Trump’s message to US media:

“Thank you for your lack of attention to this matter”

If the US could operate those refineries without Canadian oil, if they could keep the lights on without Canadian electricity & uranium, if they could grow crops without Canadian potash, only then would the termination of “negotiations” be of concern to us.
As it is, it’s just theater.

There are no real “negotiations.”
The US buys stuff from Canada that they need - as Jean Chretien once pointed out, it’s not because they “like” us.

During a power failure in NYC, the police received many calls about strange goings-on in the sky: a lot of people had never seen the Milky Way before - it’s an open question whether they thought it had only recently sprung into being.

Saving!
Remember that?
From what I see, far from “saving,” a great many people incur debt just to eat.
If they can manage to scrape together a few dollars, some crypto scammer will squeeze it out of them.

Clearly, you should charge eye-watering prices to desperate people whose lives are in the balance.

Duh!

From pitching A ball to the World Series in one season.

Remarkable.

If Bichette isn’t fit enough to play the infield, then Springer will have to give up his DH position and play outfield.
Not having seen him in the outfield in a long time, and considering he might have a bum knee, this could be a tough call for Schneider…

Imagine - from starting the season at A ball, Yesavage is going to open the World Series!!

What a ride this kid is on.

I saw the Expos play at Jarry Park and the Jays at Exhibition Stadium.

That, I guess, makes me pretty old!!

An even better metaphor was promoted by the felon himself, in which he shits liberally upon America.

Baseball is funny that way: I’ve always hated the Royals, mostly because of George Brett.
(Nothing against George Brett!)

Although I am a Jays fan, I’m a little worried that LA is just too strong. To win, the Jays have to get around Ohtani, and that won’t be easy.
Still, Bichette will be back in the lineup and he was missed against the Yankees and the Mariners…

Oh No!
This determination of yours, if known to the team, would surely spell their doom!

“Trump shits on America”

How hard is that? The headline writes itself.

“Poop strike?”

A perfect metaphor, especially considering the aerial poop strike.

Hard to decide which is more appropriate ….

How can you tell that Putin’s getting very very worried?

Because he gave marching orders to Krasnov to put pressure on Zelenskyy.

Won’t work - winter forecast for Moscow is dark and cold.

Not just camera work: Vladdie’s reaction to the crowd and their reaction to him…. a moment he will always remember.
Just sheer love from 40,000+

In a way, good news: Putin is hurting and no end is in sight; lights will soon go off in Moscow and gasoline shortages will only get worse.
In a last desperate attempt, Putin put some pressure on Krasnov; a sign of weakness, not strength.

If this a government run X account, and they have defamed you in such a public way, you would have grounds for a libel suit - government agencies aren’t allowed to be “edge lords.”

“I know you are but what am I?” seems the appropriate response to this “official” communique from the US Government.

“Your Momma,” said KL

The level of discourse has become so degraded, it’s pathetic.

That ANY US citizen is okay with this is an immense tragedy.

Dutch intelligence service is very effective - the Dutch have scored quite a few wins against Russia in recent years.
They hacked Fancy Bear and routinely bust Russian agents - no surprise they don’t want to share info with the US.
