Hey Jim the US is working with Russia and China to undermine Ukraine. Weakness is not the characteristic at play rather it is subterfuge.

TACO, bitch.

Northeastern and Northwestern?

That would be the entirety of the North and given that a lot of MAGA is still fighting the Civil War, that makes sense.

I'm also pretty pissed that Carolina hasn't done the work to be on this list. Stupid Republicans in the GA and our leadership.

Well, western NC is MAGA country so I wouldn't expect anything less than heckling college students defying GQPer voter suppression efforts.

But I was relieved to see in that clip that no MAGA had used their car to mow the students down as they bravely trudged almost two miles along a dangerous highway to cast a vote for democracy.

What were they voting for?

“… When pressed, Bondi, while saying she hoped to see Maxwell “die in prison,” repeatedly shifted the discussion to the killing of Iryna Zarutska, a Ukrainian woman who was fatally attacked on a Charlotte light rail train in August. …”

Doesn’t seem like much of a burn against a Rep from Raleigh.

 

[Mulberry Heel]

It really says it all about this administration that they spend far more time looking for dirt to sling at their opponents during congressional hearings than in doing their jobs competently and professionally and without bias. It's all about trolling and owning the libs and in carrying out Dear Leader's most petty whims, not in serving the people fairly as in most other presidential administrations.

“In a secret deportation arrangement, the Trump administration flew nine people, nearly all of whom had been granted U.S. court protections from being sent back to their home countries, to the African nation of Cameroon in January.

None of them are from Cameroon, according to government documents obtained by The New York Times and lawyers for the deportees, and the United States has not made any public deal with Cameroon to accept deportees who hail from other nations.…”

As wild and off the wall as these accusations may(or may not ) be, the sad thing is this is plausible...

“…Winning a referendum—possibly in October—is a taller order than getting it on the ballot; polls suggest support in Alberta for independence sags toward 30% and wagering on Polymarket puts the odds of a yes vote at just 13%. Opposition to independence—and Trump—is strongest in urban Alberta.

For Canada loyalists, polls are cold comfort in the age of social-media disinformation, untraceable political money and shocks like Britain’s exit from the European Union, not to mention the Trump factor.

… A vote favoring Albertan independence would trigger a complex, and untested, series of constitutional procedures before taking effect. “It doesn’t mean separation happens,” said David Percy, a law professor at the University of Alberta, citing hurdles including ratification by the House of Commons and seven of 10 provinces.…”

But this administration is not racist. That’s what MAGA keeps saying.

Reuters: "Recent polling shows separatist sentiment is not backed by the majority in Alberta, with 71% of residents polled wanting to remain in Canada."

Reuters is one of only a few sources of real, factual, unadulterated news I trust. 71% want to remain whereas fewer than 20% want to leave. The other 9+% either didn't say or sit on the fence. So over 80% of Alberta does NOT agree with the separatists.

However, NONE of those <20% want to "join the U.S." but rather try to start up their "own" country.

The separatists can somehow magically get a referendum going, but they don't stand a snowballs chance in Mar a Lago in getting it ratified.

This is all sound and fury signifying nothing. Greenland has a better chance of joining the U.S.
