None of the items listed would have made any difference. Trump voters would not have a cared about corp safety protections or if charging stations got built faster. Immigration and inflation were the big issues, and if the Dems weren't going to fix them, then they would elect a demagogue to do so.

NEWS: Federal agents crashed with woman’s car, pointed guns at her, dragged her out by legs, tossed her in a minivan, held her and (eventually) let her go without charges. This as Chicagoans say the immigration blitz is out of control. (DHS blames her.)

‘If it was anybody else, we’d arrest him tomorrow,' Justice Department aide said of Trump

A handful of documents found by the FBI at Mar-a-Lago were so sensitive that even a senior Justice Department official didn’t have authorization to see them.

We've been blathering on and on about this for almost 20 years, and we don't even have the EA done to build the *supply road* yet alone a mine (or roads to the south). I'm doubtful "rush" is a word that should be used in this context.

Yes, plus they let him get "pie-ed" on at least one occasion too.

There were a few incidents led Chretien to be less than impressed with his RCMP protection.

But, you've embellished the story. Madame became aware of the intruder and locked the bedroom door, and Chretien grabbed a soap stone sculpture for protection until RCMP showed up. There was no braining.

People think that “fed up with the status quo” means angry, oppressed people fighting back when it usually means bored, privileged people causing chaos while thinking they'll be safe from the consequences.

Well, Tim Alberta describes how pastors have been admonished on Sunday mornings for preaching the Sermon on the Mount. I think it is more that evangelicals have had their minds poisoned.

Sooner or later, someone is going to respond to one of these ICE goons by returning the violence and it's not going to end well -- not for the goon, not for the victim, not for any of us.

So I have a Friday story for you. It’s one I promised to tell before. The themes are “seek help when you need it” and “communicating with family is important” but also “pay attention to how your coms work.”

I gotta be real, I did not suspect we would reach "roving mobs of white folks chanting "shame" at ICE" within 9 months, and it really feels like a sign of how much more horrifying it must be on the ground than those of us not there can even imagine.

This does not look like a crowd that typically, or perhaps ever before, goes out in the street confronting law enforcement. This is more PTA than 'antifa', but citizens get fed up with armed arrogant outsiders antagonizing their neighborhood

Funny that this is not part of history classes.

One worry I have about becoming aware of this is that it might mollify some Americans into thinking that, "Oh well, if it happened before and we survived it, we'll survive all the crap that Trump is doing too."

“The unvarnished truth is that the real and greatest threat to our kids on Halloween is the automobile. Kids are 3X more likely to be hit by a car on #Halloween than on any other night of the year. By focusing on imagined dangers, communities are failing to take action to actually protect children.”

Opinion: Who hijacked Halloween?

Urban legends abound during Halloween. Some are harmless, but others cause extreme reactions to wholly imaginary dangers.

Cattle farmers should figure out how lumber producers are able to consistently get the US government to slap 45% tariffs on Canadian lumber, despite every trade ruling going against the American position and despite it driving up the price of homes.

(I'm kidding.)

This is horrific.

Danielle Smith is dismantling the public healthcare system, and this is the result.

When is enough enough, Alberta? I mean come on. No amount of devout party loyalty is worth screwing over kids with cancer.

I felt compelled to explain this to my eldest, with the not so subtle message that I'm not a dummy.

Me (putting on my best Grampa Simpson): "Back in the old days, I got mid-80s in high school, and those were considered *very* high marks! No one got 97% like you're getting."
