Stupid f*ers. Couldn’t find Norway on a map but if he says shithouse they clap like seals.

The New York Times@nytimes.com

At a campaign rally on Sunday, President Trump disparaged Norway to express his irritation over not winning the Nobel Peace Prize. Norwegian government officials have repeatedly said that they do not have influence over who is awarded the Peace Prize. nyti.ms/4zfrGFA

I think we’re missing the point when we celebrate our win against the separatists. They knew they would never win this thing. The point was to legitimize their cause and in that dani made them wildly successful. And 1/4 of us voted with them!!! One in four! WTF!

Here's Danielle Smith asking Justin Trudeau for more people to immigrate to Alberta. Given this request, it's strange she didn't have to foresight or aptitude to understand these people would have to use basic services. RESIGN SMITH❕

*Spoiler Alert * I’ve just binge watched The Diplomat, and my god is there no one down there in that government that has any balls or backbone to say *nope, that’s not ok and I won’t be a part of this.” No one???

Republicans Against Trumpism@rpsagainsttrump.bsky.social

Trump signed an executive order Friday suspending sweeping tariffs and sanctions targeting Russia, just two days before they were set to take effect under the Lindsey Graham sanctions law he signed last month. Trump told Congress the move was in the U.S. “national interest.”

The much vaunted 🇺🇸USA Constitution with all its fancy checks and balances isn’t worth the paper it’s written on, much like the old Soviet Constitution. 🇺🇸🙄🇺🇸

"The system made it as easy as possible for the separatists, but nearly impossible for a citizen with a cause the government didn't like... Meanwhile, the agency that can't count straight will soon be swamped with millions of referendum votes."

Meanwhile in Canada: "cartoon by Michael de Adder: signs #DonaldTrump is killing the US economy: global selloff of US Treasury Bonds, repatriation of gold reserves & declining use of the Petrodollar... the guy who conned his way through life & managed to bankrupt casinos is an economic disaster..."

If the US wants to sell their booze in Canada then they should make it in Canada. Not the US beer though… we already have lots of water.

One thing that's been bugging me today: people who claim Dolly Parton wasn't political. False. She was very political. Her art and life's work were about interrogating power + amplifying the powerless. You only think she wasn't political because she did this by example, not bullshit slogans.

“GAP IN PERCEPTION???” WTAF, man. Are you sentient? Are you a journalist? We don’t perceive ourselves a country. We ARE a sovereign nation, not the US annex of your fever dreams. You can all GFYs.🤬

Justin Wolfers@justinwolfers.bsky.social

Americans hear "51st state" as Trump trolling. Canadians hear it as an existential threat to their sovereignty. That gap in perception is why Carney can't afford to look conciliatory, even if the economics of retaliation don't add up. This isn't just a trade war anymore.

Watching Leylah Fernandez play Osaka in round of 16 at Rogers/NBank open. Commentators can’t stop glazing Osaka and her brave mental health break. Perhaps spare a word for last years exhibition of her mental “health” lapse and lack of grace vs Vicky Mboko in the final. Just sayin.

I disagree. This isn’t delusion. This is an amoral power-addled man exploiting what has become the norm in the USA: facts are what you say they are. Objective truth is dead.

Spiro’s Ghost@antitoxicpeople.bsky.social

I mean this in all seriousness, this is a severely mentally ill & delusional person who not only should be removed from office under the 25th amendment, but he should be in a psych ward. This is pure insanity on so many levels. He lives in a fantasy world. He is unwell & has lost touch with reality.

Gotta love a coherent leader who publishes official missives available to all citizens, rather than magniloquent bs to the cultish slavering maga cunts on “truth” social.
