If it’s illegal and all that, yes, they should be held to standard.

But given the fact that this administration likes to slap the word “illegal” on anything they don’t like, was it really? Or is it a boy crying wolf again?

If it was the other way around he’d never let Carney hear the end of it - “Carney, the guy who had to get someone else to quit in order to keep his seat”.

Politicians gonna politics, no surprise there.

Some people joke about Carney’s lack of a “celebrity charisma”, or being “too boring”.

Tells you all you need to know about why the US is going through its current “historic chapter”.

Better to have an economist learn how to be a politician, than a politician learn to be an economist. Too many countries allow themselves and their parliaments devolve into complete fish markets where the person talking the loudest, or getting the cheapest “gotcha” moment, are deemed to be “awesome”.

Give me boring, please. “interesting times” are only good to learn about in history books, not as they happen.

Decades from now students will learn about this whole period in schools - and they’ll call the teachers liars and say there’s a shadow government altering history.

Because no one will believe we had this level of stupidity and idiocracy. You literally can’t make this shit up if you tried your best.

He’s really going around bragging “Heh hurr durr, check out these plans I have access to because I’m the mf’ing top dog, I’m so good, let those doubters calling me a drunk eat a fat one.” Repeatedly. Micro pp energy all the way.

Bro really thought, after everyone else involved since 2014, he could just get in the room and say:

  • "Hey, c’mon. Let’s just stop this. Killing is bad, peace is good. I also want Ukraine to give up all the taken territory and I want 50% of Ukraine’s minerals in perpetuity, in exchange for nothing.

  • “And then everyone clapped, and the war ended for good, just like that, with everyone happy. Zelensky hugged Putin, both kissed Trump’s ring, and they shared some champagne overlooking the beautiful US Gaza Trumpland sunset, surrounded by AI bearded ladies”.

  • The End.

Children raised on silver spoons often expect others to simply obey them, no questions asked.

Slow clap. He really managed to come in when Ukraine had the upper hand with allied help, weakened their efforts by humiliating, extorting and cutting off aid and intel, as well as making them lose their bargaining chip in Kursk, and now they just say “this is too much after all” and bail out.

Just to show up again at the end to claim victory after Europe and any other allies have seen this through. Mark my words.

Best thing for Zelensky is really meeting Trump one on one, without his chaotic advisors dissuading and adding fuel to the fire.

Trump is a coward at heart, he’ll be less likely to throw tantrums and play the “big man” act without his cheerleaders around. Plus, meeting on neutral ground is also great, since the worst place to meet a bully is in his own home, where he feels safe and calls the shots.

Still, not that it matters much in the end. Even if Zelensky convinced Trump of anything through stroking his ego, his cheerleaders will talk him right out of it as soon as he leaves the Vatican. Or Putin, after a quick call. That’s how fickle he is.

I think I see many reasons why Debby is no longer in the picture.

Anyways, how far along, truck chief?

Despite the internal issues Canada is facing, sadly, there are worse external problems to worry about at the moment.

European here, proud of Canada for standing up to those echoing totalitarian rethoric. We all need unison, and given that even the so-called ‘freest nation on earth’ is at the precipice of fascism, no one should underestimate that possibility from happening to any other free nation if given the chance to fester.

For a safer world for all of us, Europe has your back.
