I get these junk surveys about once every 2 weeks, either from Judicial Watch, some Ralph Reed group or the NRA.

In ONE way Trump was a blessing for Canada...They were on the fast track to making a huge swing to the right with this guy...Fortunately they cast their eyes to the south and noped out of that disaster...If they voted him into office he'd hand Canada over to the US as the 51st state...
For now. How much money will the big backers put towards those MAGA dipshits in Congress when capricious bullshit is hurting their bottom lines? After all, many of them got elected with outside PAC money.
Also, too -- MAGA congresscritters aren't worth buying, as they've made it clear they're just going to sit back and let PAB do whatever the fuck he pleases.
Now that SCOTUS has declared Donnie a Special Little Boy who can crime all he wants, and btw, there's no such thing as a "bribe" any more, the quid pro quo stuff is right out there in the open, huh?
My sister was going into surgery for a back thing and half my sibs kept doing these clapping hands and I was all.....why are you applauding that? And they were all THEMS PRAYER HANDS and I was all...but they are clapping
President Donald Trump bitterly attacked “60 Minutes” shortly after the CBS newsmagazine broadcast stories on Ukraine and Greenland on Sunday, saying the network was out of control and should “pay a big price” for going after him...
...He called on Federal Communications Commission Chairman Brendan Carr to impose maximum fines and punishment “for their unlawful and illegal behavior.
Let's just hope CBS doesn't cave on this one. He doesn't stand a chance in a legitimate court, but that hasn't stopped other media from groveling. If that keeps up, even Putin will envy his Agitprop.
Poilievre is not nearly as weird as my junior high drama teacher's name (I swear this is real): Mrs. Poisson Pantalone. I don't think any of us really understood the joke, but it was funny.
RFK Jr. is seeking to destroy the consensus around vaccines, one of the greatest public health achievements in human history. People will die because of it.
"Soooo, if I 𝘥𝘰 vaccinate, there's an infinitesimal chance that I get side effects, if I 𝘥𝘰𝘯'𝘵 vaccinate, there's a much bigger chance that I get the real illness and give it a foothold in my community! It just exactly the 𝘴𝘢𝘮𝘦!!!"
The US is just full of big thinkers doing their diligence.
Like it will be to control your bladder, or clear up your skin, and you listen to the side effects which are near half the commercial and they are all liver damage and kidney disease and oh yeah death
"potential adverse events" that are less likely and less dangerous than getting sick with the targeted condition. "Oh no. My arm hurts and I felt puny one day."
I do get informed about what I'm about to receive and possible consequences. One can always ask. I suppose they mean informed about "the stuff they don't want you to know".
When an ex-gf got really into new age shit, one of the recommended books was "what doctors don't want you to know" and the frontispiece was a chap with scary eyes wearing a mask and hair covering and holding a syringe.
It was about as scientifically accurate as you'd expect. Relationship didn't last long after that.
I love this article. I was bored by the car porn. Gee, wonder why he's polling so low with women?
I wouldn't vote for corporatists (Liberal or Conservative) if you paid me a million Ameros.

Back as a young one in Canada we had embarrassing bad TV compared to US. This ad is a throwback to this time.

It's still a risk but we're doing our best.
better than us down here in the states!
It's our Monday morning reminder that "Kamala is incompetent" ...
And not old enough to be taken serriously
Brownish and female. OMG!
I know someone who worked with Kamala.
We dodged a massively competent person who could have made things happen in preference to an orange moron who is trashing the world.
Kamala - not quite Hilary, but damn she's good.
Fuck. Fuck fuck fuckety fuck with a fuck topping and extra fuck sprinkles.
Both times.
I'd put her ahead of Hillary just because of Hillary's baggage.
Give them my apologies. Not my personal ones, I voted for her and all, but general apologies.
Oh, she (my friend) knows. It's not our fault. Any of us here.
Four AM German time is a shitty time to check election results.
Hillary and Kamala. Against the same fucking asshole.
Too left, not left enough, and also a she, also, too
She danced with Black kids.
https://laneykt.weebly.com/uploads/1/0/5/1/105162993/ljentrance-dancing-2-2_3.gif
And she laughed too much. And too loudly.
... and melanin challenged.
And was going to cause a huge drop in the stock market.
The explanation? Lee Zeldin is a total dickhead? Is it that easy?

The chaos is the strategy.
the chaos covers up how they are outright stealing that money for themselves
Pretty much
Neat trick
Freeze the funds, not tell them why, get sued, then claim you can't tell them why because of lawsuits
I'll post this again in tabs, but this editorial in the WaPo is the most accurate I've seen in a long while. It almost gives me hope.

That’s all good and well, but you got one Political Party standing behind him.
That hasn’t stopped others from suing Trump.
And a Supreme Court, who might find some way to wiggle out of it.
For now. How much money will the big backers put towards those MAGA dipshits in Congress when capricious bullshit is hurting their bottom lines? After all, many of them got elected with outside PAC money.

That.
However, if his grift cuts into theirs, they might start suddenly remembering that it is THEIR job to money
And when the PAC money grift stops flowing because Orangini is fucking up the big money donor's profits ...
Why pay for lots of little nails when one spike will do.

Now that SCOTUS has declared Donnie a Special Little Boy who can crime all he wants, and btw, there's no such thing as a "bribe" any more, the quid pro quo stuff is right out there in the open, huh?
The DOJ has no interest or actual, functioning department to investigate them anymore, so it's open season.
And the wholly-owned "justices" on the SCOTUS is ruling to allow this ...

'The businessmen drink my blood
Like the kids in art school said they would'
Poilievre is not nearly as weird as my junior high drama teacher's name (I swear this is real): Mrs. Poisson Pantalone. I don't think any of us really understood the joke, but it was funny.
Oh come on. I want that to be real but who'd call their kid "Poisson"?
I AM VINDICATED: https://substack.com/profile/647850-bosgrl/note/c-108711572?utm_source=notes-share-action&r=dvvu
It was her maiden name. I'll try to find my playbill from Children of a Lesser God from 1978 or 1979. I swear on Joe Biden's soul it's true.
The kind of parents who'd name their NASCAR driver kid Dick Trickle?
A couple of mathematicians.
A possible distribution but I am skeptical.
Well, with nonzero probability.
And she married someone named Pantalone and, thus, became Mrs. Fish Pants.
I'm from a rather classic French family and my real name is Monsieur Boite du Merde. From the Alsatian Merdes, you know.
My nieces and nephews affectionately call me Tante Pisse une Rivière
Perhaps they think of Nice or Saint-Tropez when they do it.
I'm going on vacation in Nice in a few days. Gonna look at houses up the road in Vence.
Improbable...
https://substack.com/profile/647850-bosgrl/note/c-108711572?utm_source=notes-share-action&r=dvvu
I'm not lying about this. Do I usually lie for attention? Never.
I phrased it inartfully, I didn't mean to, and would never challenge you on this kind of thing. I am sorry.
I was going for a mathematical humor:
"The Poisson distribution is a statistical tool that measures the probability of a specific number of events occurring within a set..."
No apology - LOL, seriously, we can’t read tone over text. I was just pretending to be outraged.
:D see link above
It's like the stories going around when I first went to University and people swore they knew a kid called "Wayne Kerr" and ... it's not gonna happen
I went to school with an Asian kid who was rather unfortunately named Rango Tang
Wayne Kerr Electronics is acknowledged worldwide for the quality, accuracy and the capability of its component measurement products.
Registered Office: Wayne Kerr Electronics, 14th Floor, 33 Cavendish Square , London, W1G 0PW. Registered in England No. 4198428
I am actually aware of that company. And that's a nice address.
'Allo! I am Massimo ter Baitor! Call me Mas! It is different in Dutch!
The phone books (remember those?) were full of Richard Head (or Heed or Hayd, etc) whereever we went.
Some parents are just dicks
I did know a kid whose father was Richard Raymond Ash.
Dick R Ash
Simpler days.

The crowd for AOC and Bernie in Utah was pretty big!

Now we must turn that into action. How? I'm not 100% sure ... but the whole movement is gaining steam.
Yay, today I see the surgeon about my gallbladder and hopefully he'll give a timeline for getting it out!
Fingers crossed!

RFK Jr. is seeking to destroy the consensus around vaccines, one of the greatest public health achievements in human history. People will die because of it.
“According to an email obtained by The New York Times, H.H.S. intends to revise its web pages to include statements like ‘The decision to vaccinate is a personal one’ and ‘People should also be informed about the potential adverse events associated with vaccines’” https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/13/health/kennedy-vaccines-confidence-access.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share

The US is just full of big thinkers doing their diligence.
We already are informed of the potential adverse affects. The real ones
That one on TV right now which has a possible side effect of taint fungus. Like, you wouldn't advertise that unless you had to do it.
I've heard that taint amputation can be done in the outpatient surgical...
Those ones on TV are bonkers
Like it will be to control your bladder, or clear up your skin, and you listen to the side effects which are near half the commercial and they are all liver damage and kidney disease and oh yeah death
I don't think it's a fungus, I believe it's a necrotizing bacterial infection. Nasty stuff.
"potential adverse events" that are less likely and less dangerous than getting sick with the targeted condition. "Oh no. My arm hurts and I felt puny one day."
I do get informed about what I'm about to receive and possible consequences. One can always ask. I suppose they mean informed about "the stuff they don't want you to know".

Exactly -- they want to be "informed" in a way that confirms their beliefs.
Should we cheer the dumbs self-eradicating?
FUCK no, because we're libs and hate to see (almost) anyone suffer from stupidity.
Damn, this timeline.
This is just the first step to banning vaccines or punishing those of us who get them.
It hurts kids. They are most at risk. That's what burns.
Some fucking guy with oakleys and a goatee dumbing it and dying of covid? I'll laugh at that. Not kids though.
I am sure brain worms is fully vaccinated
Dude's had more needles in his arms than he can count.
I have to admit, after getting into fights with a few idiots - I'm sick of having the burden of protecting them from their own stupidity
It didn't need to be this way, but maybe we are just overrun with idiots and it's going to take alot of death before Americans bother to fight back.
I'll admit to a lot of schadenfreude with the Herman Cain awards and I *would* like to see PABbles suffer for his stupidity, but in general, no.
