To any fascists who might accidentally happen upon my profile...

For those of us who celebrate.

Damn, this is so well done. It captures the fascist oligarchy and the Cult of MAGA perfectly. There's so much going on here that it'll take several watches to catch everything.

Guess there's no genocide for Trump today. Thank goodness for TACO Tuesday.

The fact that he doesn’t even have to explain this says everything.

This is al Pam Bondi will be remembered for. This will be her legacy: Failure and protecting a pedophile.

It's all right there in the clearest third grade English he knows: You are not as important as his illegal war with Iran. Your health and well-being, and that of your children, are irrelevant because we need all the money for war. DO YOU UNDERSTAND YET, MAGA?

Well, well, well. If it isn't the consequences of her actions. "The Best People™" sure do get fired a lot in that regime, don't they? Good riddance to bad trash.

Trump just got absolutely bodied by the SCOTUS on birthright citizenship—and he was there, in person, the first time this kind of thing has ever happened, to watch it unfold in realtime, thinking his presence would intimidate his appointed justices into ruing in his favour. Oh, how wrong he was.

Just imagine what it would be like on the other side of the coin. For the cadets having to deal with the arrogant, entitled brat. For the TACs and NCOs training him, his troop placing their lives in his hands in a firefight. They'd all have PTSD before even entering a theatre of war.

This isn't mental gymnastics, this is the mental para(noid)lympics.

The current situation at America's airports in one photo.

In other news, The Department of Justice will soon be renamed to The Maintenance Closet of Justice.

The Economist's March 21st cover, titled "Operation Blind Fury," nails it.

Old: Enigma machine. New: Diarrhea regime.

This could be absolutely catastrophic. If Japan cashes in $1.2t in treasuries at a time when Trump is looking to raise $200bn for his stupid war in Iran, it would absolutely tank America's economy, guaranteeing his war is a failure and plunging the US into a deep recession he won't easily fix.

The thing is, Trump doen't even keep up with his lies. He barely even tries. In the span of one presser he can end up changing his narrative five times because he can't remember the lie he told two minutes ago.

This illegal and mind-blowingly idiotic war of Trump's is a clusterfuck of clusterfucks. Oil prices are spiking, then dipping when Trump makes up shit about talks with Iranian leaders that they flatly deny, LNG is running out in the middle-east, fertilizer...it's an absolute catastrophe.

I don’t believe anything he says anywhere, and time, about anything. If he declared that water was wet, I’d immediately be worried that my faucet is about to start dispensing sand.

Congratulations Scott for joining the @meidastouch.com network! Now more than ever, this is exactly the kind of straight-shooting, to the point, truth-telling independent news we need. No fluff, no carefully worded reports, just the classic five Ws.

I would prefer to phrase this as, "Republicans have devolved below society's tolerance for them."

Anyone who can read this and still think Trump is lucid and has full and vital control of his faculties must share in his mental state.

Call me incredulous, but whether it's true or not, every time I hear the Rothschild name brought up, my brain immediately goes, "Cuckoo conspiracy theory."

Trump revelling in Mueller's passing was petty, gross, and entirely on-brand. Mueller investigated him, therefore he was an enemy, and he glories in the deaths of his enemies. That is Trump's one-dimensional thinking. To him, you are the balance of what you've done for and against him. Nothing more.

I mean, that's a hell of an attractive platform to run on.

Trump keeps going on about how other countries are a national security risk to America. Turns out, the biggest national security risk to America is its leader, for myriad reasons.

This is insane. Air Canada Express flight collides with a fire truck on the runway at NY LaGuardia airport, killing both pilots. I'm sure the investigation will reveal the fault in due time, but I'm given to wonder how much of this is due to Trump's cuts and putting morons in charge.

Funny how every time he's called out for his bullshit, he shoots back with "I am representing the people of PA!" Yeah, pull the other one. It's got bells on.

I am absolutely with Mexico on this. Trump's sanctions are petty and punitive, based in no way on reality, and deserve no respect.

It is the end of an era, and the end of a legend. Chuck Norris has passed away at 86. A seemingly invincible tough guy to the end, the subject of endless memes (which he himself has indulged in), and a legendary action star. RIP Chuck. Kick ass in heaven. www.nbcnews.com/news/obituar...

Aww, what a shame. Donny's social media company is making only about 0.5% of what they're shelling out to keep the lights on as its stock prices plummet to levels that'll need a plumber to fish out of the toilet.

So basically, Trump is musing about just making all the mess he wants to make and then forcing the rest of the world to deal with the cleanup to reopen the Strait of Hormuz. What a goddamn lunatic.

Just like Venezuela was ostensibly about drugs they didn't make or smuggle, Iran isn't about nukes. It's also not really about oil, though that is a side benefit. It's about distraction from the Epstein files and an attempt to get a forever war going so he can try (and fail) to suspend the midterms.

It's such a shame Kat lost. I was hoping she'd edge out the competition. But on the good side of things, she defied every expectation, gave the GOP the biggest run for its big-spending money and showed America that grassroots movements work, and the people are ready for progressive leadership.

Trump's illegal war is having a global effect. But even as every nation flatly rejects Trump's plea for help in its stupid, senseless war, he continues to lie about how much support he has for this war. He's completely alone in this, and he just can't handle it.

That's putting it kindly. A slightly younger but even worse version of the same thing. But as usual, Trump and his regime don't give a single thought to consequences. The seat of their collective pants has worn through from how much they fly by it.

Clearly he didn't learn (or care) from the migrant farm worker shitshow. Now he's effectively banning migrant truckers, which is going to completely fuck the economy even worse when store shelves start emptying faster than a public bathroom Trump's using.

Éirinn go Brách! Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Good! Let's see how much she spills in an effort to save her own ass.

Nazi, MAGA, four letters, same definition.

Dickhead Doug is doing backflips trying to justify his changes to the Freedom of Information laws in Ontario that will hide his dealings from public scrutiny. Nah, Doug. No. This is not how transparency works. Hide your personal life all you want, but your official acts should be fully transparent.

Grampa isn't just sundowning, he's midnighting.

This was entirely predictable, and any sensible government would have been warned of this outcome had they even expressed the slightest interest in potentially attacking Iran. But this is the Trump regime. "Sense" is not in its vocabulary, nor are concepts like planning or, y'know, thinking.

This is an interesting report from Paul Stewart II on Substack. Here, he deeply analyzes Mark Carney's first year in office factually and impartially. The bottom line here is that he's done better than I think most people even realize. He truly is the adult in the room, and the PM we needed.

America has tried to intimidate us, belittle us, pressure us economically, accuse us of being unfair trading partners, and more. We’ve just turned around every time and showed them who we are. But they still don’t get it.

Two sides of the same coin: Buy Canadian, boycott American.

All war, no peace. This is what America is now.

Welcome to Sucker Punch Spring. Our uppercut arrived this morning in southern Ontario, and currently has is in a full Nelson.

With Doug Ford's latest debacle calling for Ontario's Freedom of Information laws to excuse himself and his cabinet, it's more important than ever to get Ford the hell out of office for he good of the province and its people. Sign the petition and let's force him out.

He looks like be belongs in a marching band. Except he'd be unable to march, on account of his bones spurs and all.

This is a week old, but I didn't realize Iran was painting images of helicopters on the ground to fool enemy planes into bombing them. Funny thing is, America did something similar during World War 2, building a "ghost army" of inflatable tanks, fake vehicles, and other elaborate ground deception.
