Clickety-click, I'm sixty-six. How did I get this old? Lefty-wonk, woke, SJW and all the other stuff that good people are. Affiliated with me, myself, and I only. Former Brit, naturalised Canadian.

Angus - "How the hell did you get hired, Pete, to be the ambassador to what was America’s number one ally? But let’s face it, Pete — we know Canada is not America’s number one ally anymore. Vladimir Putin is." #cdnpoli
I like sport, but Baseball is beyond me. I do understand that it's a game that has great statistics, but the terminology just floors me. I remember listening to sports reports on the radio when I arrived here and barely understanding a word. Each reporter seemed to use their own vernacular, too. :(
It's hard to comprehend how people in USA would allow masked, armed thugs to lift people from the streets and beat up defenceless seniors. It's cowardly and distinctly un-American. The claim to be "the Land of the Free" rings hollow these days.

This weekend, we turn our clocks back an hour.

The Trump administration, however, has already turned its collective clocks back to the Jim Crow era,
I'm a relatively new Canadian and have no interest in Baseball. I hope Toronto does well, but beyond that it's a closed book to me. I tried reading some of the reports in the paper, but it's all gobbledegook to me. Mind you, I'm sure my fellow Canadians would similarly struggle with Cricket...
It beggars belief that anyone thought Trump was ever capable of bringing Israel and Hamas (or the PLO in earlier times) to heel. Far more pragmatic people have tried and failed, so why would anyone think a lying, grifting, orange sack of shite could achieve peace in the Middle East?

New in PN: The triumph of bullshit

"We’re a long way from 'covfefe' and tumescent hurricanes Sharpied on a weather map. This is an era of lies as policy, where government priorities are based on right-wing conspiracy theories and fear-mongering."
The triumph of bullshit
Internet conspiracy theories are now official government policy.

Summing up one of America's great flaws in one stupid sign. Be a real human, pay your taxes and be proud that you're helping those less fortunate than you. You never know, you or your family may need the kindness of strangers one day
Another lie, to go with all the other lies. I could be wrong, but isn't one of the Christian commandments "Thou Shalt Not Bear False Witness"? I'm pretty sure that means his god is going really mad at ol' Masturbatin' Mike come the day of reckoning.

COUNT I

Kat Abughazaleh did, while law enforcement was in heated pursuit, paint what appeared to be the entrance to a cave on a sheer rock wall, causing law enforcement to forcibly bonk into said wall.

COUNT II

The same thing on a different wall, but then a train came out and ran us over???
What did the Chair of the committee say? Truth and integrity? That's Trump out on both counts.

Do they typically award Nobel Peace prizes to someone who murders people every day by blowing up their boats while claiming they deserved it for transporting drugs, but doesn’t give them due process, a fair trial, or present any evidence or proof of guilt to anyone?

"[Not using the funding already allocated to keep SNAP going] is a decision the president is making--on his own--to allow people to go hungry."
Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

Mike Johnson allowing Jeffrey Epstein to keep Arizona’s 7th congressional district without representation for now nearly 8 months.

700,000 more Epstein victims thanks to enabler Mike Johnson, who has weaponized the files against them.
A quick check on "milquetoast" gave me the alternatives: Sissy, Pantywaist, Pansy, and Milksop. Say no more.

Meiselas: Donald Trump just got schooled by the Chairman of the Federal Reserve, Jerome Powell. Powell said that based on how Donald Trump is harming our economy, it is far from a foregone conclusion that there will be further rate cuts. Hide that ketchup bottle from Donald Trump.

The very definition of delusional.
They vote Reform because Farage has reached their basic racist tendencies. They don't know, or seem to care, the all his other policies are equally abhorrent.

Ask someone why they are voting for Nigel Farage and you will get a racist rant or a belief that he will do exactly the opposite of what he would do

Nigel Farage hates pensioners
He hates Disabled People
He hates free Healthcare

If you are old Nigel Farage will kill you

Least surprising developments in journalism:
hire a rightwing hack that has never been a reporter to head CBS --> disgrace ensues
turn the WaPo editorial page into a conflict-ridden, unsmart rightwing rag --> become a backwater newspaper that can be ignored

I found it easier to understand Speake Mike Johnson once I realized he's not just a "flawed Christian."

He is the new Roy Cohn, another duplicitous closet case always eager to advance the agendas of genuinely awful people.
Liverpool is a city built on immigration (and emigration). That's what makes it such a great place.
