This will make no difference ... the case will work its way up to the U.S. Supreme Court, which will rule 6-3 that the Speaker of the House has "plenary authority" to do whatever the fuck he wants.

Let's watch.

Dear Canadians:

There are so many serious problems with the F-35, compounded by our extreme weather in the Arctic.

1. The F-35’s logistics system has no way for foreign F-35 operators to keep their secret data from being sent to the US. #F35s

This is really disappointing to hear, and I think you owe the owners of Canada an explanation as to why this is still going forward when none of us want this. None of us will ever trust the equipment nor should you you are potentially going to put Canadian

This level of corruption is beyond comprehension ... the Republican Speaker of the House refusing to swear in and seat an elected Democratic congressperson.

No reason ... just refusing to accept a Democrat being elected.

This is an important point ... even if tariffs disappear, and even under a new (Dem) administration, those markets should *never* come back. Surely by now Canadians should have discovered all of the top-notch Canadian spirits and vacation spots to take the place of American alternatives.

Canada's boycott has crushed the United States wine and tourism industry. The market is not coming back. This is my latest on Canada's determined resistance to the MAGA threat.

Just for clarity, not only did all those donors get charitable tax receipts for their donations, but Skippy McDouchebag also got a tax receipt for his contribution to the food bank.

We're all subsidizing this grifter and con man.

BREAKING! Lifelong grifter and conman who just held a $1,750/plate fundraiser donates $14 worth of groceries to food bank; makes sure his private photographer is there to record his unbridled altruism.

I also need to know: I am fairly middle-of-the-road on Taylor Swift but someone I know called her the Greatest Living Lyricist. She is not.

This is why I think Canada should show Alberta the door ... that entire province is too fucking stupid for words. Cut them loose and move on.

Trump and Bessent clarify that they will only help out Argentina as long as Milei is in power. Trump adds that the same thing goes with NYC, where the White House will hold up funds if Mamdani wins.

My sister-in-law just had her spleen removed. I was going to e-mail her with a detailed discussion of what the spleen is and its purpose in the human body, but I did not want to be accused of "manspleening."

Ba-dum-bsssssssh.

I'll show myself out.
