The context shared with the depiction is how you determine whether or not the sharing is racist. You don’t need to see it again but seeing it once helps you understand how racist the original poster is.

They are running concentration camps, I don't think they are too concerned with what a judge says.

Maxwell is supposed to be questioned in Congress tomorrow. Her lawyers say she will invoke the 5th amendment on every question.

I'm guessing that will look about as bad as is possible for Trump and Epstein's other friends, in theory you can be innocent and plead the 5th, in practice though this tends to be how it looks, that said it puts immense pressure on Trump to pardon her, she can't invoke the 5th after that happens

Ms. Maxwell’s lawyer, David Oscar Markus, told lawmakers in his opening statement that Ms. Maxwell “would answer questions if she were granted clemency” by President Trump. [nytimes]

It makes no sense that the president can pardon blanket pardon any federal crime. What a strange system they developed down there.

Remember when our premier thought she had the same power, even though she's been an elected MLA in the past, and has covered Alberta politics in media for over 20 years? Somehow, people still thought she was mentally competent enough to lead our province. Good times.

The latest Trump nonsense - Canada has foot the bill to build the Gordie Howe Bridge over the past 3-4 years and is scheduled to open later this year. Trump now wants to block the opening until U.S. 'is fully compensated for everything we have given' Canada.

“What does the United States of America get — Absolutely NOTHING! Ontario won’t even put U.S. spirits, beverages, and other alcoholic products, on their shelves,” Trump said

Well, I guess it isn't opening then. Let the Michigan businesses put the pressure on him.

Ok don't open it.

It probably means just as much for business in Michigan as it does for Ontario. Just get out of the way and let him score more own goals.

What was the last one? Decertifying planes? And the one before that was the 100% tariff if we made a deal with China?

Hard to keep up.

Laugh all you want, but this is a real threat. There is a red button on Jinping's desk, just one press and poof, all ice hockey is gone. Give Trump whatever he wants Carney.
