Can anyone point me to a time where a governing party pulled an election trigger this early and actually benefitted from it? Seems recent history is that the electorate doesn’t reward governments that do this

For those following the story about East St Paul not releasing the names of candidates before the nomination deadline, this has some pretty nefarious implications: The Mayor of ESP is also the president of Sio Silica This same individual breached conflict of interest regulations

Oh , one other thing on my political wish list: All the city owned garbage receptacles along major roads get rotated 90 degrees. Right now they are perpendicular to the street and they block sight lines from sides streets. I know the city loves the ad revenue, but it’s a safety hazard.

More wish list items for this civic election: Work with MPI to move park and ride from all purpose insurance to pleasure Proper wayfinding signs for park and ride - not the small signs on the wrong side of the road, an actual overhead sign - make it easy for people to use

The only thing I wonder when reading stories is how were any Democrat senators stupid enough to vote to confirm any of Mango Mussolini ‘s nominees?

Add lying under oath to his list of wrongdoings and crimes.
 Screenshot of a tweet from CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale reporting that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth falsely testified to both chambers of Congress that troops were deployed to voting locations in 15 states under Biden in 2024. Dale notes that all National Guard activations were ordered by individual states, not Biden, and that all 11 states that responded to his inquiries confirmed zero troops were sent to voting places. The Pentagon declined to comment.

It’s like we’re living through a real life version of “the Emperor’s new clothes” except instead of being naked, Mango Mussolini is an idiot and instead of admiring clothes that aren’t there, his syncophants are trying to show him they’re just as stupid

There is a reason that we do not have MLAs decide on electoral boundaries. Tossing out the Electoral Boundaries Commission and replacing it with a UCP-dominated committee is not just a bad idea. It is really bad for democracy. Ask the US, ask Hungary. This is not normal!

Things that help calm the nervous system, quickly: - Box breathing (in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4, hold for 4, repeat) - Immerse your face in cold water (activates mammalian dive reflex) - Humming (stimulates vagus nerve) - Exercise (anything helps, outside even better) - Impeachment and removal

I think when Dotard starts inevitably whining about a Nobel Peace Prize next year, the only reaction from the committee that awards it should be simply to tell him to F-Off

So why was the earlier penalty a double and this one only a minor?

Sooo….. They’re going to send a river boat? Across the ocean? Given how stupid this administration is, it’s likely to be a paddle wheel, and when it inevitably sinks during passage, Dotard will blame Greenland and declare war.

A couple of notes on the Carney v. Trump at Davos: As usual, Trump always looks like some kid wearing their dad’s suit. Too big, tie too long, etc.

With everything awful & scary going on in the United States & the world, we might momentarily forget that here in Canada, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre STILL REFUSES to apply for the normal security clearance that EVERYONE else in his position has. It’s reasonable to assume he can’t pass it.

This is good —the Mayor of Yellowknife NWT in Canada’s far north weighs in on “Car Bloat” (truck bloat actually) and its many big costs & consequences (thanks @davidzipper.bsky.social for heads-up). And like most who dare tell the truth about that, he’s taking flack. www.linkedin.com/mwlite/feed/...
Screenshot of LinkedIn post from Yellowknife Mayor describing the costs and consequences of trucks having gotten so much bigger. In the link, he explains the backlash he received for his post.

Trump is ordering the military to use “full force” against an American city, while the Supreme Court declares him the Sun King and Congress hides under a pile of coats. The checks and balances only work when the institutions aren’t run by utter cowards and the complicit

I’m curious. For the “ think of his wife and children crowd” Did you express that level of sympathy for Melissa Hortman’s children? Victims of other shootings? The multitudes of orphans in Palestine? Or is it just reserved for Kirk and his ilk?

to my mind the woman who dies of sepsis because of antiabortion laws, or the person who dies because they can't afford insulin -- these are just as much victims of political violence as the man shot through the throat while making a racist speech
