BREAKING: A Russian newspaper today — “America no longer sees our country as a threat… The US leader’s philosophy is closer to the values of Russia’s president, not the politicians of the Old World… he sees Europe as a liberal stronghold that must be destroyed…”

Read that again.

THE NEW MONDAY COUNTDOWN PODCAST DROPS AT MIDNIGHT:

When do we start bombing RUSSIAN "terrorist scum who have been targeting and viciously killing innocent Christians in" Ukraine?

Trump says we're bombing terrorists to protect Christians in Nigeria. We are in the Crusades business now. Let's go!

Just a reminder when the war criminal hiding his bunker comes out to say the Ukrainian govt is illegitimate because they can’t hold an election during wartime

No big deal, but the Alberta government just increased the fee to submit a citizen initiated petition from $500 to $25, 000. After the separatism initiative was approved, but before Corb Lund's coal mining petition gets re-approved. No political shenanigans going on here.

So commenting on the obvious physical weaknesses of the frail old man currently despoiling the U.S. presidency (and both figuratively and literally destroying the White House) is seditious?

Huh. Glad I’m Canadian then.

Btw guys the transcript of the Witkoff phone call really is much worse than you think and I do think you should share it with literally everyone you know

The Trump admin is sinking fast into backstabbing chaos. After the absurd argument about whether the 28 point plan was authored or given to the admin by Ru, now someone leaked Witkoff's soft treason word for word-- coaching Pu's aide how to sweet talk Trump.

In a recorded Oct. 14 phone call between U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff and top Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov, Witkoff told Russian officials he could pressure Ukraine — and U.S. President Donald Trump — into accepting a Moscow-friendly peace deal, Bloomberg reported on Nov. 25.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.

They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Trump has literally given a deadline to a plan which never even existed. He just read of it in the press, leaked by Russians, and just said:

“Ukrainians have to accept it.”

The level of this incompetence or malice or both is just remarkable.

In case you were wondering why some random Nigerian dude invariably has an opinion that Ukraine should just give up.

Serious question: what do these rulings even mean? If the IRS “acted unlawfully” as an organization, will anyone go to jail? No, they won’t. So this is performative.
The IRS acted unlawfully when it turned over tens of thousands of taxpayers’ addresses to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, a federal judge found Friday, in a ruling that also limited immigration authorities’ ability to use the information.

A federal court finds the agency acted unlawfully by turning over taxpayer information to immigration officials.

So apparently this is fine but Canadian governments using advertising to share views with Americans about trade is completely inappropriate.
