It all started in 1955 with a misprint in a Colorado newspaper and a call to Col. Harry Shoup's secret military hotline. Shoup played along with the tiny voice who called, and a tradition was born. From the NPR archives.

The idea that explains every decision the Trump admin makes is that absolutely everything they do is for Content, for Posts. They believe retweets control the world, and being famous online the one true ambition. All the MAGA figures are competing for attention, sometimes by murdering men on camera.
While the Brown University shooting investigation remains underway, the FBI Director seemingly found time to talk about his love life.

What an absolutely disastrous interview for Poilievre on CBC this morning.
Just when we think he can’t possibly look any less capable of managing his own caucus - let alone a nation - he succeeds in looking like a file boy with some big opinions.
I just want an effective opposition, FFS.

Imagine if a foreigner moved to the US, had a plan to have as many children in the US as he could, and sabotaged the infrastructure. That would be terrible. But I don't think the children should be punished, I think the wealth should be stripped and Musk himself imprisoned instead.

Tariffs apply to goods, not services. Zero in on the goods-producing sector, and you'll discover that it's hemorrhaging jobs. Indeed, the start of the trade war marks the peak in that sector, and it's been in recession ever since.

The United States is no longer negotiating with Canada because the America's Republican President does not understand his predecessor's view of tariffs.
Forget the clip that worries the President. Reagan was consistent, and here's a different speech where he made his case.

Anyone blaming Canada for not getting an agreement with this lunatic should shut it
Trump is pissed about an ad that Canada recently ran in the U.S. showing Ronald Reagan talking about tariffs in 1987.
“Based on their egregious behavior, ALL TRADE NEGOTIATIONS WITH CANADA ARE HEREBY TERMINATED.”
