- “Honey that stripper wasn’t giving a lap dance to ME — she was giving a lap dance to EVERYONE who advocates for freedom!”
- Honey I was just auditioning Stormy Daniels for The Apprentice, really. It had nothing to do with me, it was for the audience.
- Grand jury did in fact indict.
- “Judge arrested for not having heart of stone.” www.nytimes.com/2025/05/13/u...
- A grand jury will indict a ham sandwich when given any evidence by a prosecutor.
- Indeed. Transparency is only a necessary ingredient for accountability, it doesn't do the work when the entire system - from Congress to the media to the Supreme Court - is populated mostly by cowards or immoral co-conspirators.
- (And of course, in Canada, the land where transparency goes to die, we don't even know the full extent of political corruption and other major problems infecting our systems).
- A line from Yes Prime Minister comes to mind by Sir Humphrey Appleby ““Open government, Prime Minister. Freedom of information. We should always tell the press freely and frankly anything that they could easily find out some other way."
- Is it me or does it seem like McDonalds is making a big deal with the Trump administration of hiring what suspiciously seems like a completely normal practice of hiring summer students during their summer break. Is this what corporate servitude looks like? How many students were hired last summer?
- McDonald’s on Monday announced plans to hire up to 375,000 workers this summer at a news conference that included U.S. Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer. cnb.cx/3S1aEao
- The Trump Organization has entered into real estate deals in all three countries Trump plans to visit this week wapo.st/3F11lnU
- If you do it out in the open and often enough, corruption becomes almost normal accepted behaviour. At least until a Democrat attempts it, at which point the Republicans will bring out the pitchforks again.
- Greetings from Nuuk, Greenland May 13, 2025 Temp: -1C (30F) Weather: Cloudy Special Guest Star: P572 HDMS Lange Koch Yes. That’s the actual name!
- Those temps remind me of Northern Ontario mornings in May.
- Why? There is no emergency. Trump clams border crossings are down. This is an assault on America.
- Bending the knee for fear of harm from your own voters if you try to follow the constitution, and don’t kiss the ring. What a way to run a circus.
- I don’t know what role the U.S. played or didn’t play in helping to broker this India-Pakistan ceasefire. But maybe US media outlets should actually look into the matter before repeating Trump’s assertions at face value.
- It probably involved some Chinese and Russian diplomacy, since Russia and India are pretty close and China and Pakistan are similarly close. Neither of those two want conflict in the neighbourhood, especially China which also has issues with India.
- Why are they wearing masks?
- Because they are so proud of their work?
- Another intelligence loss for the U.S. Ally Denmark likely to stop sharing intelligence. For no gain. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/08/w...
- That is something Canada should consider too.
