What a fantastic legacy for trudeau you govern a country so poorly, mismanaged every single issue actively made your citizen's quality 10x worse were now government assisted suicide is the 4rth highest cause of death. And because Trudeau isnt fit to run a Starbucks let alone a modern nation. Justin's legacy the thing that will be written on his tombstone is "Here lies the man who wiped Canada off the face of the map".
I love it when the leaves rake themselves.
 
Holy shit I’m going down a taibbi rabbit hole now, do you guys have any greatest hits re: his writing? I have only been aware of his twitter files stuff.

Relatedly: do any of you subscribe to the racket news paid Substack? Price seems low enough it doesn’t look insane compared to some others, and clearly this dude does serious work.
Taibbi strikes me the same as Greenwald. Not evil but so obviously pissed off by TPTB that he will idiotically defends the opposing PTB. The golden standard for Journalism is still James O'Keefe. If you aren't actively making government workers want to kill themselves because they got fired after you catfished them WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING.
 
Canadians: "yeah sure, we're being replaced by 3rd worlders, a crack shack of a house cost as much as a literal castle in Europe and we can be hit with hate crimes if we ""misgender"" someone, but at least we've got free healthcare americhuds"

Can we call Elon Musk a dick? CNN investigates.
I can almost feel the cringe in the newsroom here.

Oklahoma Republican Senator James Lankford proudly presents Federal Fumbles: A Playbook for DOGE.
My fellow taxpayers: You have spoken, giving Congress and the President a clear mandate to make the government more efficient. In previous editions of Federal Fumbles, I highlighted ways the federal government has dropped the ball. In this special edition, I focus on persistent inefficiencies within the federal government and methods to save billions of taxpayer dollars, while restoring an effective government. By now, you have heard of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). As a founding member of the Senate DOGE Caucus, my goal is to create a roadmap for DOGE, identifying key areas within the federal government and solutions to fix them.
This special edition focuses on five major areas that cover a vast array of problems within the federal government, paired with the most valuable policy (MVP) that can address each issue either through legislative action or executive action. Since my last edition of Federal Fumbles in 2023, our national debt has grown over $5 trillion–we are now over $36 trillion in debt. It is time to stop talking about what we can do and start acting on what we should do. The damage has already been done, but that should not stop us from repairing and restructuring the way government works. It is time to stop fumbling and start scoring.

That one guy sprinting away down main street after James confronted him is peak journalism.

I said something along the lines of Dems needed to lose so horribly that they are forced to step back and look at their party. There are things they can absolutely run on (that I would vote against) and probably stand a chance of winning if they stopped acting like screeching retards for a while. In the 90s and 00s they had their vision laid out pretty solidly and everyone saw them as hip and cool, now they're all ran by crusty old woman that love censorship and wagging their finger at you. The best shot at a presidential candidate in 2028 is starting to look like fathead Pritzker, who will absolutely lose, because HES FAT.

I really don't want one of the two political parties in my country to be this retarded. There are retards among the Republicans and they will get into office if Democrats can only put up even more retarded people against them. I hope the poor fuckers manage to find anything resembling a soul in their fucked up party but it doesn't look like it's going to happen anytime soon. Maybe we can replace them with lolbertarians (slightly less retarded) or something and call it a day.

That has basically what got us in to this whole mess. Republicans and their lose with grace retardation basically cemented democrat power for 20 years. Now we have a brain broke Democrat party. Partly because the Reublicans were to fucking retarded to keep them in check. But now i feel the reverse is going to happen. A Democrat party so retarded, that it keep the Republicans in for years. That leads to stagnation, corruption and retard behaviour. To keep MAGA strong, it does need more than a weak brain broken Democrat party to beat up.
