Trump’s Bizarre 51st State Obsession is Starting to Look Like Evidence of Cognitive Decline
Trump's bizarre obsession with insisting that Canada become the "51st State" has pivoted from trollish trash talk to something in which he seems to believe.

Thank you, President Trump! Our long national nightmare of accurate weather forecasts is coming to an end!
“There’s no question it will lead to errors. It’s just a matter of how bad will it be... We know these things help with forecasts, so why are we cutting them?”

With fewer weather balloons due to government staffing cuts, forecasts may be less accurate
At least 10 sites have suspended or limited weather balloon launches, which used to occur twice daily, because of the Trump administration’s cuts to the National Weather Service.

Totally agree, George!
I see more criticism here of Democrats in Congress than I do condemnation of Republicans.
And yet it is the GOP who are enabling Trump.
It tells me a lot when I see you regularly bash our side but say nothing, ever, about the other.
Reflect on your choices. You may be helping the fascists.
