Why is it always up to “the Dems” to save America from itself?

It becomes tiresome, all the people whining about “the Dems”. Y’all are responsible for your own democracy.

Who would have guessed that Rubio and the Merry Trumplings would forget to plan for all the U.S. citizens trapped in the Middle East? 🙄

How in all of the multiverses that exist did the Trumpiblicans think this would go well for them, in any one of the infinite number of multiverses that exist?

Quite literally to the surprise of no one.

The only shocking thing is that it didn’t happen yesterday.

Uhmm … no, Petey, I don’t recall any war with Iran under the Biden administration. You *did* start it.

Ottawa won't say if it penalized Gripen jets in 2021 analysis OTTAWA - National Defence is refusing to disclose how it analyzed competing fighter jet bids after a Swedish media report suggested the evaluation was weighted against Saab's Gripen E.

The fact is the Gripen is a 4th gen fighter and the F35 is a 5th gen fighter. The consortium behind the Eurofighter Typhoon didn’t even enter the competition for Canada’s next fighter jet due to the “Canadian content” requirements.

Elite Doctors Served Jeffrey Epstein While Treating His ‘Girls’

Many people made mistakes when associating themselves with Epstein.

This does not mean they’re criminals.

All those in the military with ethics have been “weeded out” by now.

Trump suggests he'll use the military on 'the enemy from within' the U.S. if he's reelected During his first term as president, Donald Trump tested the limits of how he could use the military to achieve policy goals. If given a second term, the Republican and his allies are preparing to go m...

[Trump] has explored using troops for domestic policy priorities such as deportations and confronting civil unrest. He has talked of weeding out military officers who are ideologically opposed to him.”

He told everyone what he would do.

Oh gee, let’s see … Iran closes the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20% of the world’s oil passes. Oil shortages result. Price of gas go up.

Don’t have to be a rocket scientist to figure this out.

Massholes beware: Healey’s traffic cams are gunning for you - The Boston Globe Governor and a few lawmakers get behind efforts to deter speeders in this collision-prone state.

“Massachusetts does have a certain well-deserved reputation for its flagrant disregard of …traffic enforcement. Too many drivers have truly earned their Masshole designation — putting Boston atop the list of the nation’s most collision prone cities”

Someone please send a copy of today’s National Post (horrible newspaper that it is) to His Majesty’s Loyal Leader of the Opposition, because apparently he’s out of touch with things these days.

… misses the point completely. The new defence industry initiative is not about *buying* military hardware, it’s a plan to build up Canada’s defence industry to *make* our own military equipment. How can he be so fucking dense?

(Rhetorical question. It’s Pierre we’re talking about. 🙄)

Carney rolls out 'aggressive' plan to build up domestic defence sector OTTAWA - Prime Minister Mark Carney sent a clear signal through his overtures to the domestic defence industry on Tuesday: it's time to grow.

“Poilievre dismissed [PM Carney’s defence industry plan] as a ‘buzzword-heavy document that leans on new bureaucracy rather than removing obstacles within the system that slow down procurement decisions. We have to [eliminate] all the bureaucracy’”

The Survivor Who Saw the Future for Cantor Fitzgerald Howard W. Lutnick, one of the few at Cantor Fitzgerald to survive the Sept. 11 attacks, has rebuilt his company, and then some.

“Four days after the attack, with the nation stunned and ground zero smoldering, Mr. Lutnick cut off paychecks to the families of his employees, before anyone even knew just how many had died.”

From Sept. 3, 2011.

He was a prick even then.

This is for all the people who whine “Why isn’t Obama saaaaying something?” He’s been telling people things for 18 years. It’s just that some of you don’t listen.

WATCH: Trump, EPA's Zeldin announce end of scientific basis for U.S. action on climate change The Trump administration on Thursday revoked a scientific finding that long has been the central basis for U.S. action to regulate greenhouse gas emissions and fight climate change, the most aggressiv...

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change—all so the fossil fuel industry can make even more money.
