What I find oddest about calling Trudeau a ##### is that, of course, every single guy who calls him a ##### would trade places with him in exactly one nanosecond. Look at that Ivanka picture again. How many guys would kill to have a regular looking woman gaze at him with the "please #### me" eyes, let alone Ivanka who is a very good looking woman? If women wanting you badly makes you a #####, sign me up to be the biggest ##### alive.

What I find oddest is that Trudeau is the furthest thing from the euphemism Tacopuck was aiming for. The dude is fit as hell and could probably destroy any of us in an actual fight.

I've only caught snippets of coverage but color me impressed with Trudeau's performance down there.

Just watched the presser now, and I think it scarcely could have gone better.

In fact, if I didn't know better, I would suspect Canada set the agenda, lining the day up with a Trump-to-sleep-inducing morning of listening to women entrepreneurs, followed by canned speeches about stuff Trump isn't very interested in. It looked to me that Canada is so low on the USA's priority list they really didn't have much of an agenda of their own today - just a box to be checked on their list of social obligations.

That's pretty much exactly what I'd want: the US administration to view Canada as so vanilla we simply pass under the radar for the next few years. Meanwhile, just by emphasizing Canada's values and approach - without denigrating the US - Canada ends up looking like a beacon to the rest of the world in contrast with our southern neighbours.

Full marks today for Trudeau. I think this was his biggest test yet and he passed it well. There's clearly no warmth between him and Trump, but no frigidity either. Just passive, polite, understated tolerance.

Also, I would not fight Trudeau (skip to the 8 minute mark).

Let's turn an old joke on its ear:

Why is the word "#####" used as a euphemism for weakness? It should be the opposite! Something that bleeds for four days and doesn't die is not something I'd want to tangle with.

Also, it smacked of desperation which is a surefire way to remove any humour that may have been present in the first place.

Real a-list material.

Couldn't agree more, hence why I made the reference to cats, its far more fitting.

When it's permanently attached to the President's ass, it must get dry.

Tagged it as NSFW.
Didn't repeat it after the original post.

Hardly find that overly offensive. Unfunny to some, yes.

I'll leave it at this. Spoiler its just a Wikipedia page about origins of the word.

Beyond that, they're capable of pushing out 10+ pound human beings and bouncing right back.

The link won't work, but give it a rest. You were wrong to post what you did. Accept that, and move on.

From what I have seen Trudeau did a great job maintaining a strong relationship with Canada's closest ally while not coming across as Donald's lap dog like Theresa May did.

This. When people find out I am Canadian I am usually asked about maple syrup or hockey. Now that Trudeau is the PM, I also receive comments about how lucky Canadians are to have a real statesman in charge.

Maybe JT makes Canada look so damn good, a company like Google says, fkit, we're moving to Canada. That'd be cool.

The White House was informed of Flynn's vulnerabilities ahead of time.
