If you need the real news watch CBC or BBC. They correct every Trump lie. Which is pretty much everything he says.

That is a unanimous, adamant YES. The sooner the better.

This administration is committing Watergate level crimes multiple times per weekβ€”and those are the ones we know about. It’s crazy to think about what else will come out after.

It’s absolutely essential these criminals are held responsible for their crimes. We must end elite impunity.

And it will get worse this summer vacation season. Last summer people already had vacations planned and payed for that they couldn't get their money back. So they just went with it. That will not be the case this season.

I used to go to the US for work and pleasure, never again. There is nothing there that I want or need and I certainly don't want some ICE gestapo disappearing me for a frickin bounty.

There's not much in the USA that's worth dying in an ICE camp over.

Go to the bank, pay them a service fee for making you do your own transactions, get your money, spend it in a store where they make you do the job of the cashier at the self-checkout.

I wish being a fan wasn't so much work. You're always told to do free PR. You must wishlist, write reviews, if you pay this way they get more money, or that way it's less. Make sure to listen to each song straight through, all the way. Like and subscribe. Leave a comment.

Reminder that I don't want bad things to happen to good people. That's my hot take.
My cold take is that it's okay for a movie to be long it just has to earn the length a bit more.

Gas prices are nothing. Wait till Iran is killing American citizens while ICE is locking up people who were trying to be citizens.

Trump pressed oil executives to give $1 billion for his campaign, people in industry say "This is a scandal" and "an indictment of the system" β€” but probably legal, one legal watchdog told POLITICO.

Remember when Trump summoned oil executives to Mar-a-lago, asked them for a billion dollars for his campaign and promised them it'd pay off for them?

It's paying off for them.

Another word you might use for it is "looting".
