Heh USA, ya' got yerselves one classy guy repping for you. Definitely LOW class, and not merely low class but the lowest of the low. Ya' picked him more than once. Must be loads of folks just like him in the USA, since you are so supportive of him and his minions.

That's just one of his many delay tactics. He is used to a default being in his favour, and he is counting on the general public losing interest in the case.

He's nuts. Take your pick: walnuts, pecans, almonds, cashews, pistachios ... personally, I'll go with peanuts. A cheap and plentiful groundnut, particularly appealing when ground into a fine paste.

This protest signs sums it up nicely, my feelings about Traitor Trump and his MAGA morons.

Talk to SCOTUS. Seems anything Trump does while President —or before, between and likely after—is okay with them, though many thought it might have been better (not good, but better) had it restricted the free pass to AS President. Attempted bribery of USians is not actually a duty of the President.

Apparently, this is exactly how it works. Shouldn't be, but is. I agree and probably said the same thing before Letterman, but I am a nobody. As soon asTrump's narcissism was confirmed, I advised anyone who would listen to me that you don't play his game — you protect yourself, your property ...

Probably just wants to use public funds to purchase investment properties in the Middle East in order to enrich himself and by happenstance, other members of his immediate family.

Mark Carney in Canada has hit 70% and that wasn't a blip either. His approval rating has been steadily increasing and is the highest in Canadian history at this point. I predict it will continue to increase. I hope Natalie informs Trump of this.

I am quite certain he can come up with some military justification for this too.

Let us just for a moment assume that is correct and that it matters. Despite that, Mark Carney has done more to bolster the Canadian economy than any PM in my lifetime, essentially working against his own best interest, right? (The thrust of the argument as presented in the posting is faulty.)

Jean (J.A.) @gibbensauthor.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
Fun with Numbers: It is a 70-30 split. If you add Carney's approval rating with Trump's, you would get 100%!

Jean (J.A.) @gibbensauthor.bsky.social · 13/09/2026
Well, sharing 50-50 seems fair, right? (And then they return yet again and demand 50%, as it has been deemed an appropriate split because 50-50 is fair.) Repeat ...

How can a Bioni suit, likely bespoke, look so very horrible. It is both too tight and too loose and ends up appearing to be something that has a self-belt sewn into it at the back. Weird.

Cartoon depicting Xi Jinping, holding a document reading: China imposes 125% counter-tariffs,  pushing his hand into Donald Trump's face and holding him there as the smaller Trump character tries to punch the Chinese leader.

You wanna call it Lake America, go for it. We really do not care. It will only be called that by Trump supporters and has no significance outside of the USA anyway. We just think it is a really STUPID thing to do, and like other things Trumpish, defies logic ... and likely costs the USA taxpayer.

Somehow this is related to the thinking (I use the term loosely) process of those who think that it is a bona fide miracle that water is triggered to boil at 100 degrees Celcius and freeze at 0 degrees Celcius. It is impossible to get them to understand the reality.

The USA, after launching an unprovoked attack against Iran still has WARships in the waters along the coast of Iran and attacks Iranian non-military ships in retaliation for an Iranian attack of those WARships. Take your WARships out of the region and you will not be attacked. Go home.

The world is not suffering from a low population problem.Stop killing people, stop starving people, start administering treatments we already have in order to provide max health.I suspect that the drive to increase sperm count will not be for all males (with a low sperm count) but on certain groups.
