J.D. Vance was booed so badly at the Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony that even the announcers commented on it.
“There is the Vice President J.D. Vance and his wife Usha—OOP, those are not… uh… those are a lot of boos for him. Whistling, jeering, some applause.”

they want to cut more than 40k but don’t think they can sell that, so they’re doing the “totally not layoffs” strategy

The Canadian media is choosing to pour gasoline on separatist sentient instead of reporting on the decimation of Canadian law by the Carney government or the surveillance / police state he is creating. I am finding it very hard today to feel bad for journalists.

It mind boggles me how Bill Clinton, a blowjob, and then perjurying himself got him impeached.
But Trump having raped and assaulted underage girls, including all the corrupt shit in office...nothing.
Republicans have absolutely NO moral compass if they protect this pedo president from impeachment.

Canadians horrified by what ICE is doing should realize the RCMP uses the same tactics domestically against Indigenous people and yet barely anyone speaks up.

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

The thing that shocks me most is that all of this incriminating stuff was sitting at the DOJ for 4 years and Biden & Garland were not cynical or ruthless enough to use it against Trump & Musk in the run up to 2024.
If only they were the evil ‘weaponizers of government’ that MAGA claimed they were!

Super glad Mark Carney laid off 1,400 food inspectors today.
There's a massive food recall (including Cheerios, how I found out) yet the only news article I can find about it is on People dot com. What is going on?

A Canadian-made armoured vehicle was spotted on Minneapolis streets the day ICE murdered Alex Pretti.
The company that sold ICE that monster as part of a $10 million deal? Roshel.
What’s more:
Canada’s government brought Roshel’s CEO on a trade mission SIX DAYS AFTER Renee Good was murdered.

"Get out of Minnesota" so ICE can terrorize other communities?
Why not Abolish ICE? If you refuse to lead, just resign.

Carrying out violence against a targeted group with the goal of affecting political outcomes is how this country defines terrorism and I am struggling to come up with a clear reason why the federal rampage on Minneapolis shouldn’t be thought of that way
Pam Bondi's conditions for Minnesota: 1) give us all your state data on your food programs, including SNAP 2) repeal all your sanctuary policies in the state (since it has led to "so much crime and violence") and 3) hand over your state voting rolls. Letter here: www.fox9.com/news/minneap...

I appreciate those out there protesting at great risk to their lives however i think the nation needs to grind this economy to a dead stop.
It's something everyone can do safely. No spending on ANYTHING but absolute necessities.
I understand some shut ins can not do this but very many of us can.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

I remain absolutely furious that all this shit in Minneapolis started because a barely-literate homeschooled mormon made a video trying to run up in daycare centers trying to find people of Somalian descent doing fraud despite the ringleader (a white woman) being in jail since March. Demonic.

By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.
