Ajax white tornado commercial when I was very little. The woman in the commercial opens the bottle and the tornado spins around the room and sucks all the messes in the room back into the bottle with it. I figured it would probably swoop up a little kid that got in the way!

He should have kept reading. Psalm 33:16 No king is saved by the size of his army; no warrior escapes by his great strength.

He didn’t write this. There are words that he couldn’t read from a cue card, let alone articulate himself. This is a threatening message to those running that they better not try to distance themselves from him.

What they still haven’t figured out is that they will have to sell their farms and ranches cheap to billionaires. Then they’ll be expected to be the underpaid labourers on those farms for the new owners.

More to the point, what did trump agree to give China in exchange for them patronizing his foolish ideas?

The guy who thinks he is a genius business man feels that, after he advertised the fact that he needs our resources and no one else has any to sell him, our price for him should go down? That why he kept going bankrupt folks.

He doesn't get a cut of that banana money. That is what he is looking for. Every country he allows to trade with is supposed to give Trump a personal gift (like a gold trophy or a plane). He sees no reason to allow trade that doesn't enrich him.

Darbyfish @darbyfish.bsky.social · 18/09/2026
Ah...but you see, the MAGA plan is that all the money will simply be concentrated in the hands of the few top Trumpy sycophants. No money for the poor, and no bananas for them either.

I spent time in Ireland during his first term. I am surprised that he has 20% approval. Irish people were lovely and polite when they thought I was American but when they realized I was Canadian I got to hear how they really feel “about that trump fella”.

But trump and his handlers were perfectly fine with trying to send American citizens to jail to salve his tender little ego. That should terrify every American. Who knows who will hurt his feelings next time? It could be you.

He missed this verse, too. (Genesis 1:27)"So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them." Sounds kinda specifically and deliberately non-binary to me.

He has been posting bizarre stuff all day (or his binky has been). He is desperately trying to get people to forget about his unfortunate hair weirdness. With all the real issues he has caused, this is the thing weighing on his mind. People are laughing at his ridiculous hairpiece.

If you make women stay home and tie health care to the fathers’ job you can ensure that women can’t afford to take their children and flee abusive relationships. These laws are designed to make sure horrible men have no consequences for their actions. How very on brand for Republicans.

Where your beef is coming from might not be a worry in a couple of years. Not enough is being done about Lone Star ticks. Deer ticks can spread lime disease but Lone Star ticks spread Alpha-gal syndrome. That can cause a deadly allergy to red meat. www.cdc.gov/alpha-gal-sy...

Alpha-gal syndrome can occur after certain types of tick bites and mostly affects adults.

One of the things he vilifies Canada for is our policy on medically assisted dying. He wants them to die but he thinks they should suffer while doing it.

It isn’t that he ruined it, it wasn’t great before, but that he really believes that he somehow is smarter than everyone that came before him and can fix things that they couldn’t. It doesn’t matter if it is a ballroom or a reflecting pool or a war. He doesn’t know he is an idiot.
