I have no doubt that fucking Ukraine will be a prominent part of the deal.

It would be tricky to reconcile that story with the news that the attack was moved up on intelligence that all regime leaders would be in one room this morning.

On my walk this morning a young woman backed her SUV out of her driveway across the sidewalk without checking for pedestrians. She actually bumped me a bit. I didn't kill her, though.

That's unfortunate. I'm sure she would testify truthfully, but as a "domestic terrorist", her testimony would be considered untrustworthy by 37% of the population.

Who yells "No! OMFG!"? That starts as the shooter begins to pass in front of the car, well before the gun shots. Can that be a response to the shooter drawing his weapon? I hope the BCA can interview the person who yelled.

In the footage from the bystander you can see that he's holding something in his left hand after the car has sped away. I think it's probably the phone. (Also, the CNN anchor said the new video was from an ICE agent's phone, although they didn't specify that it was the shooter's phone.)

Thanks. He has clearly gotten out of the path of the car before he stops aiming the phone. He must be drawing his weapon while still looking at the phone.

Are we sure the guy with the phone is also the shooter? That seems to be the case, but I'm having trouble figuring out how he moves his attention from filming to shooting in the split second of time available.

On the day before I started law school my fortune cookie said "Avoid legal entranglements [sic]". It was right.

PaleoNazis are old-fashioned Nazis, as opposed to neoNazis who are the very chic modern Nazis currently on the ascendant.

This strongly suggests that most white people are elderly male high school dropouts.

I had an astronaut's finger in my rectum once. I also had an astronaut's finger on my doorbell. Two different astronauts. (One was my family doctor. The other was my MP.)

Of course you can't invoke habeas corpus for a class. That would be habeas corpora.

On the bright side, we won't have to try too hard to get Trump supporters to avoid trans fats.

I know, but I'm sure there are at least some US-resident medical workers who are (a) fluent in French, and (b) eager to escape to a safer place that needs their services.

The objective isn't to punish Facebook users. It's to punish Facebook's owner for his sniveling kowtowing to Trump.

I came here to say that. We should pull the plug on Facebook, too. I'd love to hit Amazon, as well, but the effect wouldn't be sufficiently focused on the billionaire.

I'm afraid this is is going to be more than a brief spat. Even if the tariffs are withdrawn after a few months, the long term effect is that nobody can trust the US to honour its own legal obligations in international trade. Why should anyone risk making a trade deal with the US?

Maybe, instead of applying countertariffs, we should strip-search every American entering Canada to make sure they're not bringing guns.

Best thread since Rumplestiltskin. A pity you missed Montreal, though.
