Tearing out speed cameras. Underfunding health care. Ripping out bike lanes. All decisions that lead to a certain increase in injuries and fatalities. How do we normally describe people who not only act like this but make it the cornerstone of their “contribution” to society?

W and now Vance. Yale’s “poster child” department needs some work.

That still leaves 52 million people clearly unfit for the level of thought the rest of us consider a bare minimum for civil society.

Does he have to post an official certificate of clinical insanity before the people who have the power and responsibility to take action against a manifestly unfit and increasingly dangerous mentally infirm head of state actually act to preserve peace, prosperity, stability, and sanity?

I love those days, live for those days, days that make the gear-grinding ones worthwhile.

The problem here, unlike the bike lanes that aren’t an obstruction, is that Doug Ford is the obstruction. I assume he uses his months of vacation time to block the hallways of every ER in the province. What else could he possibly be doing?

Come on, Philippe. It’s a minority government with 28% of the vote. We come to you for sober stats, not overheated headlines.

I’m not American, Kyle. And you’re right. The Biden administration response to Trump’s criminality was abysmally inadequate and is a reason we are all where we are. Biden’s criticism, words as you say, are unimpeachable. His past actions, or rather lack thereof, were a gross dereliction of duty.

While history had always indicated it was at best temporary, let’s nevertheless have a brief moment of silence for the phrase “the world’s longest undefended border”.

Hagnostos @chrisstait.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
And I bet the best and only defense they’ll have to Biden’s unimpeachable criticism is to double down on their own malfeasance and say that he’s “just jealous he didn’t think about doing the same”.

We have reconsidered and we still consider it good. The boycott stays. Fix the country and, sure, we’ll re-reconsider, but no promises.

I uncontrollably launched a dessert item at the tv when that ad aired. If Ford had appeared in it, it would have been the whole table.

The White House is far from a sacred place for many reasons, including its current residents, but fundamentally because it represents precisely the opposite: secular power and authority. It is literally the “Presidential Mansion”, in former times presidential, these days more mansion.

Quick grammar question. Can you lose something more after you’ve already lost it, e.g. “His mind is even loster than it was before?”

You should see the foreign polling on this. It ain’t pretty. They use even more creative means of removal in their sampling questions. Are catapults even a thing anymore?

As an Ontarian I can confirm that Doug Ford disrespects the premier of Ontario everyday by being Doug Ford. As for Jessie Waters, who?

It was the diplomatic equivalent of him saying, "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters.” Raving lunatic then, batshit crazy now, and still not a straight jacket in sight.
