Their cause was basically libertarian really, as in “Don’t tell me to wear a mask or get a vaccine just so your or your friend’s grandma or immunocompromised child won’t end up on a respirator and maybe die! F*ck that!!” - So they behaved like dicks.
Hence PP supported them, he too is a dick.

Awesome! BTW, the town is Branch, Newfoundland if, like me, you avoid CTV (it’s originally a Cdn. Press story)

Should we refer to Danielle Smith, and Scott Moe as Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum now? Per Tweedle Dum “there are no B.C. coasts (ports), there are Canada’s coasts (ports)”. By such logic let’s also say ‘there are no such things as Saskatchewan’s potash or Alberta’s oil resources, they’re Canada’s!

Congratulations! Wondering if you said “happy anniversary my love, we’ve been married and you have had me, Al Franken, as your husband for 50 years” 😉😆or some variation of same.

Funny, not funny, poignant humour for sure. But, why a uniform and trappings that resemble Gen. MacArthur (a heroic figure in history)? The uniform should resemble Mussolini’s!

Not that the law seems to matter to the USA’s glorious dictator Drumpf; but they cite the IEEPA as his authority to impose these tariffs. The IEEPA specifically excludes materials including, but not limited to, publications, FILMS, phonograph records, photographs, artwork, news wire feeds, etc.

This is the kind of thing you say when you have no idea how anything actually works.

Post by Donald Trump that says: 'Our movie making business has been stolen from the United States of America, by other Countries, just like stealing “candy from a baby.” California, with its weak and incompetent Governor, has been particularly hard hit! Therefore, in order to solve this long time, never ending problem, I will be imposing a 100% Tariff on any and all movies that are made outside of the United States. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! President DJT'

If SCOTUS rules against the clear language of the 14th ⬇️ then why do they even have a constitution under Dictator Drumpf?! “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”

From the outside of what was kinda of a shining city on the hill (USA), but now seems to be a lantern at the end of an alley no one wants to visit; it sure is Orwellian. Weaponization of the Justice Dept. is by the ones that falsely accused the Dem’s of it - they’ll be after thoughtcrimes next.

This is fantastic and positive news to be shared widely! (Of course RFK jr. will be checking to see if any funding from the USA can be cut from what he might call “dangerous gene therapy”) www.bbc.com/news/article...

Tylenol, schmylenol. Raise your hand if your mom smoked and drank while she was pregnant with you (basically anyone Gen X or older).

Found this today; I love music, and I have been a bassist for an incredible folk/cowboy song writing artist for decades but he died Feb. 1/25. This song is wonderful, it found me in my ongoing grief. I don’t know if I will ever play bass again but thanks Big Thief m.youtube.com/watch?v=l-B5...

Here's my message to MAGA ambassador Pete Hoekstra.
He gaslights our nation, blames Canadians for being mean to the US. He accuses of us being anti-American.
He says we are mean and nasty and doesn't like us saying Elbows Up.
Too bad Pete. We are proud anti-fascists

Wait a minute, Kirk was Greek and used to be called Saul, he slagged Jesus but then was blinded by the holy spirit and then he realized that Jesus’ teachings about love, forgiveness, compassion, and mercy even applied to him so Jesus restored his sight? That doesn’t sound right at all…
