That quick fly-in meeting they had in Alaska made it crystal clear. Putin owns his big ass.

As usual, we North Americans fall further behind the envied European lifestyle.

Man, if you didn't know better, you might think Putin wrote the plan!

Jivani should pack a bag. I'm sure the PM will shortly accept his kind offer. Or possibly an Ambassadorship to Lower Slobovia would be to his liking?

Maybe, or they can pull a "Gulf of Tonkin" incident. When your only tool is a hammer, everything begins to look like a nail.

Remember the class the White House occupants have had? Before the white trash moved in and took it apart? Thanks for posting this clip, I would probably not have seen it otherwise. What a lovely lady, Michelle.

And now these hours later, the story is even sadder. God, why can't we treat mental illness? Is it jail or homelessness, nothing else? Why do we blame addiction to drugs on the users and not the big Corps that pushed opioids? And your President is lowlife scum.

I bet a lot of us (me included) would be stunned to discover how intense the hatred is for anyone they (trump and his sycophants) believe to be liberal. It's a living thing, like a cancer, and I really think ICE is just the tip of the iceberg.

A new low until the jerk outdoes himself in a day or so. So horrible to think a third of the Country still supports him, or are those old figures?

Thanks for the warning. Sometimes you can waste precious minutes reading junk like his before it dawns on you, and those minutes could have been put to far better use!

It sounds like "Round up the usual suspects" kind of thing. Something ICE would do.

Yes, most of us Canadians will avoid crossing the border willingly. No need to be humiliated and maybe roughed up.

There's a mini MAGA movement in Alberta that wants to separate from Canada and join the USA. Some Canadians would be happy if they took their damned 'clippers' and left, thus shortening the drive to beautiful BC! (OK, we have silly dad groaners too).

Putin has to pinch himself occasionally to make sure he is not dreaming. Such an overwhelming success was never imagined. Even he had believed some of the "checks and balances" nonsense.

Country folk have a saying: If you are digging yourself into a hole in the ground, the first thing you should do is throw away the shovel. If you guys don't do that in the midterms next year, you will be so deep you won't ever see the light of day again.

Exactly. But, for reasons I don't understand, he is revered to the point of worshipment by many. He was a Corporate darling who partnered with Thatcher to worsen the lives of working people around the world.

If any functioning democracy in the world had a leader saying those horrible things, he or she would be out of office in hours.

Of course money was in play, but it is highly likely ICE will be busy, busting all the POC they can during the World Cup. The temptation will be too great.
