He canceled VOA and the internet is off - now he expects the Iranians to install a new government with no international news and no way to communicate.
I found out about this a couple of weeks ago, and it was pretty much life-changing. I’ve been gathering documents (made slightly more difficult by the fact that Nova Scotia didn’t issue birth certificates for several decades in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries), and my mom and I will be submitting our applications for Canadian passports fairly soon.
Thanks for being born in Canada, Great-Grandma MacDonald!
Kamloops is the home of the Blazers! Which -- among others -- gave us Stu "The Grim Reaper" Grimson, who played for my hometown team in their first year as my hometown team. That counts, right?
I’m reporting from the mall food court with a big thing of Arnold Palmer. Woke up itching to move around, and the best place to do that and work through window-shopping thoughts is here.
The US says 3 service members are dead, and Iran says 50 or more. Given how frequently the maladministration lies to cover its own ass, it is safe to assume the number is significantly higher than three.
This illegal war needs to be at the front and center of Democrat strategy going into the midterms. Republicans in Congress have done nothing to prevent this.
Also, can I claim Canadian-ness if I’m descended from Acadian refugees?
About the potential tsunami - is the word a slur or not? I was in elementary school when Nixon’s thugs sabotaged Edmund Muskie’s presidential campaign.
I have only been to Canada once, when I was kid. We visited my temp step mothers family in suburban Montreal. Wasn't super impressed... except that they could ride their Skidoos on the streets!!
Minnesotans have powerfully organized but haven't yet been able to take back their state from the Auto/Theocracy that attacked it. How does Big Baby expect an entire country to do it?
Being a sane American right now: it's like the United States is riding in the back-seat of a car and Dad is driving drunk. Mom is the Republican party, riding in the passenger seat: she knows Dad is completely sloshed but she goes along with it because she's afraid of getting beaten up again if she says anything. Some of your brothers and sisters are excited because they like carnival rides and think speed and chaos is entertaining. But you feel slightly insane because you're the only one in the car who understands the danger everyone is in and no one seems capable of stopping the maniac at the wheel.
Minus the "beating up" part. My dad would have just made it unpleasant and would have yelled a lot and been a bitch about it, so she would just keep her mouth shut. :(
I guess it's time to trim the beard- it's giving off either Indian Fakir or, "Shit, we let a homeless person into the building!" vibes....
Then: Kamala Harris would start a war with Iran.
Now: Kamala Harris wouldn’t have had what it takes to keep Americans safe by preemptively striking Iran.
Have some Rachel balm... she brings up every point that none of these idiots thought of.
Big Baby steps up to the podium in that white cap and no tie like he just finished the front 9... 8 minute speech and off to the back 9.

Transitive property. If they don't allow it, they're denying math!
my dad's first wife in '44 was canadian. Does that count?
No.
Jebus, 44 is a lot of wives!
Can you imagine the nagging? Heyooooooooo!
President ‘No New Wars’ says his new war against Iran could last up to four weeks.
Is he twoothing from the bunker?
Headline in the Globe right now:
"Trump stays out of public view after US assault on Iran"
Why am I supposed to believe a vague war schedule from a lying fascist fuck who said he wouldn't START any Middle Eastern wars?
Trump: Military campaign against Iran could last for four weeks… or less
https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/trump-military-campaign-against-iran-could-extend-for-four-weeks/
TFG should bear in mind that Russia thought its invasion of Ukraine would be over in a week...
"Yeah, but those people are stupid. Me, I'm smart!"
You're right, Fredo ...

This counting problem goes back to ‘Nam. You have to tally the boxes at Dover.
"Big thing of Arnold Palmer"
heh heh heh
Mind out of gutter, you heathen. It’s the best tea drink—sweet tea plus lemonade.
It’s called an urn nowadays.

He did what is illegal to even say aloud. Start with State decapitation.
You seem to have been mislead into believing that these impulsive, reactive filth actually HAVE a tangible plan.
it may distress you to learn, they haven't put a lot of thought into that.
I don't know, but we really need to.
Oh, wait, did you mean *Iran*?
I don't even know what this is in reference to, but it certainly seems APT.
Yes, And.

wait,how did you know about my childhood?
When I die, I want to go quietly in my sleep like granddad and not kicking and screaming like his passengers.
Dad insists on driving in reverse, too. With no mirrors.
(Mom is also shitfaced drunk, any occasional qualms numbed with liberal application of gin)
I like speed and chaos, but there's never any way I'm ever going to endanger someone else with it by being drunk.
These enablers and the porcine in chief don't give a fuck.
have you ever looked into a career as a repo man?
Swine libelz!
Do it stoned. Can’t hurt anyone at 20MPH
I've been in this situation.
Minus the "beating up" part. My dad would have just made it unpleasant and would have yelled a lot and been a bitch about it, so she would just keep her mouth shut. :(
interestingly, in my house it was the same, only with mom/dad parts flipped
