During Trump's little "Tariffs if you're not for a U.S. Greenland" speech, he also said the following:

We're reducing healthcare by numbers that you haven't seen.

Which is pretty true, as I haven't seen healthcare in the U.S. reduced to zero. At least in my lifetime.

Nothing to see here -- that Venezuelan oil money is super-safe!

Trump sending proceeds from Venezuelan oil sales to Qatar bank: report

Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, the ranking Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee, hit out at the strategy and said: “There is no basis in law for a president to set up an offshore account that he controls so that he can sell assets seized by the American military.

“That is precisely a move that a corrupt politician would be attracted to.”

Holy smokes! Sounds like the Dems are about to lash out with all their might! He'd better watch himself. He could end up with a sternly worded letter in his file.

Canada's deal with China signals it is serious about shift from US

Carney says Canada's relationship with China has become "more predictable" than that with the US, as his country searches for trade certainty.

We are on our way to being a pariah nation. And we've worked hard for that!

Trump's despotism extends to DC golf courses

He views the entire world as a private club he owns and profits from.

This is great, except the Midterms are an ETERNITY away and actually getting these people in office to do anything is 2 eternities.

If they reduced healthcare numbers its because we afe going back to the days of "I can't afford the doctor so hopefully it gets better on its own if not well, I am poor as fuck so I will be better off."

Don't forget - this is the same President who didn't want to publish COVID numbers, thinking if we ignored them they would go away.

That's a bit of a mouthful, though.

How about "Chomo Chickenking" or "Donnie Diddles-Kids"?

I'm sure you native English speakers can come up with better insults than me.

It doesn't matter what we choose, Donnie will sue.

How can anyone think this Eagle Scout with all those badges is a pedophile????

Charles Whitman kinda blew the whole cover story for the Eagle Scouts ...

Now Charlie made the honor roll with ease
Most all of his grades was A's and B's
Real hip snortin' trigger squeezer
Charlie proved a big crowd pleaser
Though he had been known to make a couple of C's

Some were dyin', some were weepin'
Some were studyin', some were sleepin'
Some were shoutin', "Texas number one"
Some were runnin', some were fallin'
Some were screamin', some were bawlin'
Some thought the revolution had begun

The doctors tore his poor brain down
But not a snitch of illness could be found
Most folks couldn't figure just why he did it
And then the good would not admit it
There's still a lot of Eagle Scouts around

-Kinky Friedman, "The Ballad of Charles Whitman"​

America’s gunboat capitalism will make the world poorer

And Donald Trump’s use of companies as a tool of state will make it no safer

Midterms are "only" 290 days away. Ugh.

Thats 2900 days in "Trump years" sadly.

Something of an understatement, I'd have thought

Growing sense of embarrassment at Fifa over Donald Trump peace prize

I'm waiting eagerly to see how the US immigration and passport control cope this summer with fans from all over the world arriving and then travelling between the US, Mexico and Canada and back again, watching their teams.

Throw ICE into the mix in cities where teams from Central and South America are playing, and it's going to be ... interesting.
