In all seriousness, what was the point of Article 25 if it wasn't to protect against Presidents who think they're King of the Jews and want to buy Greenland? What other sign do you need?

This is Kevin Gausman, Blue Jays Ace, teaching his daughters how to ride bikes at the Evergreen Brickworks farmers market the day before the biggest start of his life. Everybody knew who he was. Nobody bothered him. Watch out Mariners. He looks happy and loose.

Just a quick question for Canadians on my list, how long have you had to wait to vote in an election? I have never missed voting, and the longest I ever waited was fifteen minutes. Has anyone here ever had to endure these massive American wait times?

Canadian progressives: Please remember this. This is real. This is lasting.
The PM’s marine protection announcement makes up an area larger than Nfld and Labrador. It means the Trudeau govt exceeds its goal to protect 10% of marine and coastal areas by nearly 4 per cent. PM: “this is what real change looks like”. #cdnpoli

Try explaining to any American political commentator that the biggest scandal in Canadian politics over the past year boils down to a one time payment of 1500 bucks to the Prime Minister's mom.
Breaking: We Charity just posted documents for Parl Committee. Included: “Between February 2012 and March 2020, Sophie Trudeau attended a total of 8 WE Day events.
She received a one-time speaking fee of $1,500.00 in 2012. The total amount of expenses... 1/2

Absolutely not a correction. The line in the article up now, reads "An independent assessment by two dozen Canadian academics found that Trudeau has kept 92 percent of his campaign promises, fully or partially, the most by any Canadian government in 35 years." You're lying.

One of the most exciting projects I’ve ever worked on. Andrew and I have cowritten a political thriller about the potential collapse of American democracy. It will be the most informed political thriller ever imho.
Excited to share that @StephenMarche and I have collaborated on a novel “The Last Election” about an election in the not-so-distant future that changes everything. It’s a thriller and comes out September 12th! To pre-order use 30% disc. code LASTELECTION akashicbooks.com/catalog/las…

November 11 is different in the US than everywhere else. In the US, it's about the greatness of soldiers and their sacrifice. Everywhere else, it is about the immensity of suffering and the insistence that war never happen again. Historical memory matters.

This thread is much crazier than any piece of dystopian fiction ever written.
You have probably heard dozens of variations on the "litter boxes are in schools" lie.
You might have heard it from Joe Rogan, talking to Tulsi Gabbard, from his "friend's wife who works at a school."
Or maybe Lauren Boebert. Or maybe Marjorie Taylor Greene. It's everywhere.
