Watched “House of Dynamite” and it’s this generation’s “Dr. Strangelove, but without the satire.

General Brady is what we fear the military is *really* like.

The character he played had a lot of drive to achieve his ambitions, although his ambitions were a bit warped.

You might say he even had warped drive. 🤔

“Canadian boomers — those between the ages of 61 and 79, traditionally known as the snowbird generation — have seen the largest decline in trips planned to the U.S.: down 66 per cent from last year with only 10 per cent planning to head to the U.S. this winter.”

Well done, boomers! 👍

“44 per cent of Canada’s Gen Z population — those between 13 and 28 — still have the U.S. on their destination list, down just 18 per cent.”

What the fuck is wrong with these Gen-Z kids?

Thirty-seven. Per. Cent. Drop.

If I lived in D.C. I’d dress up as Tom Homan and carry a Cava bag full of Monopoly money and tell homeowners I wasn’t accepting candy, only cash. And maybe some “nose candy” if it had some substantial street value, like six-figure street value.🤔

Canada’s government passes legislation with a simple majority. There is no concept of the “filibuster” in a parliamentary system.

Yet we have not turned into rabid dogs snarling at each other’s throats, passing and then annulling legislation with each change of government.

Funny listening to commentators on @msnbc.com talk about the horrors of eliminating the filibuster. They exclaim with horror that governments with a simple majority in the House/Senate would become unstoppable madmen, doing unthinkable harm.

Apparently they never heard of the parliamentary system.

While government workers are trying to figure out how to make their next rent or mortgage payment, SNAP recipients examine their cupboards to see how much food they have and how long it will last them, and regular working folk try to stretch their paycheck to the next payday, King Trump shows this.

I’m calling it now: Stephen Miller and Vampirella will flee America after Trump loses/is deposed/is replaced.

Likely fleeing to a nation where their political views are mainstream. Perhaps the Transnistria region of Moldova.

If you ever wonder why the U.S. never makes meaningful progress on social issues, perhaps it’s because they have this retrograde “filibuster” that impedes progress.

Just a thought.
