"There’s no talk about a mutually beneficial relationship; Canada, Trump says, is not even a vassal state. Its very existence is dependent on the US, which means it is dependent on him personally. 'Canada lives because of the US,' he says, like a domestic abuser sneering." — @paulwaldman.bsky.social
Trump blames Canada

Danish and Greenland ministers just left the White House. It did not go well.

January 6 was like a much dumber version of Hitler’s Beer Hall Putsch and yet a plurality of American voters were like, Yeah, let’s give that guy the nuke codes again. An absolutely world historical debacle of societal ignorance. I’ll never understand it.
