Saturday update, sorry for the second reply, but given that Carney’s negotiating team walked away from the bad deal last night, I am interested to know what your thoughts are now!

The draft versions we have seen are “leaked” from US officials, which is why I’m taking the reports with giant crystals of salt. We see already what happened to the UK-US trade relationship, they were super cooperative with the Trump admin, and Trump keeps threatening to reneg on their deal again. So whatever is the final deal will hardly be worth the paper it is written on. The money the US government might even extract from the whole tariffing thing will likely be tied up in courts for many moons anyway, so this isn’t even a win for the US no matter which way you look at it.

JD Vance:

Ha! Canadians, you don’t even know it, but we’re winning so hard right now!! 😤

I think Carney has always had out the items Canada is willing to negotiate on, and it’s the Trump administration that’s been trotting around like a peacock making a show of everything, looking to take what Canada’s offering (e.g. Keystone XL) at the last minute and pretending it is Canada that relented. The DST and GH bridge were battles we seemed to have lost but we’re trying to run the clock, far as I can tell, for an administration that can better be held to their commitments.

Double his sanctions everytime Trump’s lawyers put forward another frivolous “expedited” motion.

Colour the article with your assessment of Troy Jackson in the post body if you like, but you shouldn’t editorialize the article headline that significantly.

I would like Jackson to be loudly progressive like Platner, which so far I have not heard too much on, and he used to be a Republican, but even in those years, he was arguing for stronger states’ rights for labour. He is far from a conservative corporate Democrat, he supported Sanders over the DNC favourites and campaigned plenty with Platner.

If the Grits are known for “virtue signalling”, the Tories love what I’ll call “vice signalling”, making flagrant displays of intentional bigotry and cruelty to show how tough they are against the ills of society. They’d do that constantly if they can even wield the smallest semblance of controlling power. You see it all the time from Washington DC, and with PP in charge it wouldn’t be at arms length anymore.

I laid out about a month ago why minority C was not necessarily the only alternative outcome in the 2025 election, and why I disagreed with a very similar opinion that minority C would be worse than small majority L.

Exciting looking game! Reviews rate the mechanics well, but it seems it lacks depth a little but I think some time in development will fix that. I’ll keep it on my radar.

Please, DNC! Be officially pro-Jew, anti-Israel.

Precisely. While I do think it is frustrating that original replacement components are being phased out right around the time these components might start failing…

As long as Valve aren’t artificially blocking 3rd parties from making compatible parts, then I don’t see it as anti-consumer as much as it is a technically poor way to supporting the long-term legacy of their own product.

It does put a small concern in the back of my mind for the Steam Frame, which I desperately want to know more about.

In other words, Pete Hegseth introduces mandatory gender-affirming tests as part of servicemember health evaluations.

Lol it’s the Inmate #P01135809 commemorative coin. The design seems inspired by that mugshot.

And then conveniently as soon as Biden was gone and Trump is back, all of a sudden, US Supreme Court steps in and is like “no more striking down federal policy nationwide”!

Schrödinger’s Senator

Mr. Brennan sure slammed and blasted the Trump DoJ with those words on the paper.

Jokes aside, perhaps every suit against the Trump admin should include lines on how untrustworthy the admin’s officials are now.

Bah! What are the Supreme Court Justices doing, relying on this pesky thing called ‘precedent’? They’re supposed to be making up justifications as they see fit, based on who invited them to their yacht or resort retreat!

A major part of the news story is that 4 of 9 US Supreme Court justicies switch off their brain to support election conspiracies…

Call Donald Trump to organize your next disappointing failure of an event!

This is intended, a colony of brain-eating worms runs the Department of Health and Human Safety after all.

I mean everyone that wanted one gets a fair shake at it in the randomized queue. I suppose I’m just hoping and speculating that Valve can detect and remove mass preorders from scalper bots.

I’m glad this judge is not entertaining the administration’s silly games with the court on this issue. More judges I suspect will treat Trump’s political appointees with suspicion over the next several years, and they really should with these corrupt liars.
