Bernie Sanders has always had it wrong: White Working Class Americans abandoned prosperity and the Democrats because the Democrats have principles and support civil rights.

I hate how Ontario assassinated the entire reputation of our country with their weird bagged milk fetish

I absolutely loved this movie as a kid.

I haven’t seen it since so I’m sure it’s pretty terrible, but it will always be a classic to me

The rendering on the left looks like a blowup doll.

The woman on the right looks attractive and realistic

I just feel that a lot of these guys are so deep in the closet they don’t even know it.

lol the grey tribe biotech guys are genuinely so pathetic man

Yeah, so that wasn't good.

Don't misread this.

Deregulation is so insanely good that it outweighs this.

All the biotech deregulation is *probably* still worth this, but man...

We're going to torture a lot of pregnant moms and autistic children for no reason.

“The Biden FBI”

Who was President on January 6?

THE BIDEN FBI PLACED 274 AGENTS INTO THE CROWD ON JANUARY 6. If this is so, which it is, a lot of very good people will be owed big apologies. What a SCAM - DO SOMETHING!!! President DJT

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages

Business Insider headline reads: UPS is telling customers that their packages coming to the US are marked for destruction.

Some of the gossip I heard was that he was bi.

However, considering the source I got it from - I assumed it was just homophobia at the time (this was about a year before they actually separated).

Eugencist

Peronism with American Characteristics @olenargy.bsky.social · 1d

Yeah the North American track record on eugenics is not stellar.

The guy who was voted the Greatest Canadian was a Eugenist by education, although it seems he abandoned what he was taught and never used it when he was premier of Saskatchewan

MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT, 1629: Mr. Cromwell! I make haste with word that the King is threatening to dissolve Parliament!

CROMWELL: [looks at feet] I haven't read the tweet yet

MP: But good sir, we must act, do you not think?

CROMWELL: [looks away] Yes, we must do something about his Medicaid policy

Among the many possibilities for the next few years, the scenario of swapping one pair of dominant parties (Lab and Con) for another (Reform and LD) is intriguing, under-discussed and, in English elections, not entirely implausible either (several county councils made this leap in May)

So you can’t guarantee a private company will build a pipeline to tidewater when transmountain isn’t at capacity.

Just say it. You want the federal government to petrocanada a second pipeline to the coast

Nobody is overstating Republican extremism.
