It’s just kind of weird that humans would allow the ability for a person to become the leader of a place that could inflict the death of 6mm or more. It actually makes literally no sense when you think about it.

Not sure if I can link to this image, but Trump posted this image of himself last night, his face morphing into Elvis. Anybody left who does not already view this guy as a complete narcissist should really have some self reflection about their ability to judge people's character.

Perhaps he's just predicting his own death? "Going to the toilet, may not come back."

The US govt has a truth problem

Kevin Hassett suggests Canadian authorities are covering up major fentanyl operations: "I can tell you that in the situation room I've seen photographs of fentanyl labs in Canada that the law enforcement folks were leaving alone. Canada's got a big drug problem."

Dude just making s*** up on the spot with nothing to back it up. This is why Canada keeps using America's own border patrol stats to make their case.

Interesting comments from one of the top Democrats in the US on trans athletes in women's sports. Newsom is making a big departure and moving in the right direction.

Quote:
California Governor Gavin Newsom has broken with many elected Democrats by saying he thinks it is "deeply unfair" to allow transgender women and girls to compete in female sports.

Newsom, a potential 2028 presidential contender who leads one of the most liberal states in the US and has long been a trailblazer on LGBT rights, made the comments on his new podcast.

"I think it's an issue of fairness. I completely agree with you on that," Newsom told conservative figure Charlie Kirk. "It is an issue of fairness, it's deeply unfair. We've got to own that. We've got to acknowledge it."

Newsom's change of tone comes amid a debate within his party over the extent to which cultural factors played a role in their resounding defeat in November, when Republicans won the White House and both chambers of Congress.

A number of Democrats quickly denounced the governor's comments.

"We woke up profoundly sickened and frustrated by these remarks," a statement from California's LGBT legislative caucus read.

Kirk argued that Democrats were out of touch with everyday Americans because of broad support within the party for transgender athletes competing in sports, which he said was unfair.

"I revere sports," said Newsom. "So, the issue of fairness is completely legit."

He's a God-damned Kardashian. He is a case study in Narcissistic Personality Disorder. The fact that he ever rose to this type of power is an absolute embarrassment. To this very moment I sometimes struggle to accept that this is real, but here we are.

Elvis? At first glance I saw Steven Seagal(sp) the hero of Ukraine.

The right stance is that it isn’t really a problem or even a controversy in all but a couple isolated instances. For the most part, the ruling bodies all have adequate and reasonable rules.

However, that is a losing political message that requires too much nuance and explanation. The democrats have to move beyond that issue for now.
