At this point, it doesn't matter. I'm in bluest of blue DC and people here need to suffer (well, since a lot of us are feds, we already are, but you know).

Like the people who were strutting around suggesting Trump was all bluff and bluster?

He's trying to figure out the optimal amount of "woke" references.

The corporate MSM is totally complicit, delivering disinformation to the American people on a daily basis. The MSM is owned and sponsored by conservatives who either fell in line or actively wanted Trump back, for ratings and power.

So today's random Trump reason for the tariffs is..

*shakes magic 5 ball*

Because US banks aren't allowed to operate in Canada.

In the land of "Personal Responsibility" I'm not about to let them off the hook for their choices.

Lol, I completely forgot about this one. Seems like his reasoning changes every 30 minutes. Last night it was because of fentanyl.

"It is decidedly so I have gonorrhea"

"President Musk says Yes"

"Ivanka won't have sex with me"

"Putin says Nyet"

Jason Kenney on CBC basically echoing Trudeau with some strong language of his own re: the economy, and I find myself agreeing. What a world.

For all of Kenney's faults, and there were/are many, I'll give him this: he is a nationalist and believes in Canada. Smith on the other hand...

I know right? And his comments on how "Russian and Belarusan potash is now at an advantage vs Canadian potash / what message does that send?"

God damn I still hate when I am forced to agree with Jason Kenney.

Let's not pat him on the back just yet. Still no return on that "investment".

Kenney is clearly a few weeks/months behind reality. You could hear in his voice he couldn't quite comprehend the logic for attacking Canada and easing sanctions on Russia regarding potash. He'll get there eventually I'm sure, but at this point he hasn't worked out that Trump is clearly a Russian asset. I suspect many politicians know this, but you can really tell the ones who haven't made that final acceptance.

Fox News idiots this morning led by their Bubble Blonde in Chief comparing Trudeau’s “Donald” comments with Zelenskyy and declaring that Canada will face a similar response from Trump.

I'll save you the anticipation:

- "We still believe that diplomacy and cooperation is the best strategy, even though it hasn't worked at all so far."

- Absolutely no export taxes on Alberta energy (which I reluctantly agree with, for now).

- No provincial actions on imports like liquor, or on procurement because: freedom.

- Softer language towards Trump than any other jurisdiction in Canada because Smith still admires him greatly.
