My last visit to the U.S. (10 years ago) was my last visit to the U.S.

"There were two people on the ballot in 2020. Joe Biden and Donald Trump. You won't say that Joe Biden won the election so you must believe that Donald Trump won. So, did Donald Trump win the 2020 election? Wouldn't it be better to watch them squirm to avoid saying he won.

This is a joke. If a nominee can't answer this question then the response from any Democrat asking the question should be simple. "No more questions. I'm a NO on this nomination. Next." But if they insist on playing this game how about they try rephrasing the question -

I think George may be referring to a number 33 draft pick now being MVP. But I am a genuine lightweight when it comes to basketball knowledge so I could be way off.

Rogan is as full of shit as Trump. He just dips his toe in the water of plausible deniability from time to time. It is so transparent I fail to understand why people insist on attaching benign motives to the man.

It’s hard to imagine anyone believing you’re not fully committed to this regime-change war. In doing so, you’re cementing your standing within the party—and ensuring your legacy as one of its most failed and widely despised leaders.

They don't think you're dumb, they're certain you are weak. That reality gives them license to do just about anything.

In this century Democrats have only managed to win when Republicans have FUBAR'd the place. And while them winning the midterms is far preferable than the alternative, it seems fairly certain that with current leadership it will be a temporary respite.

Keith Chartrand @kdchartrand.bsky.social · 25/01/2026
You are supposedly one of the better Democrats and you don't appear to get it either. And by the way you all accepted the idea of lawless status quo when you went back to BAU with Republicans after they refused to convict on impeachment.

Mr. Secretary, these appeals to conservatives to finally find Jesus is not just disconnected from reality it's irritating. And this is from someone who actually likes you.

How about the Democrats just announce that any takeover over of Greenland either by extortion or military occupation will be immediately reversed by the next Democratic administration.

Keith Chartrand @kdchartrand.bsky.social · 20/01/2026
It might be Mommy/Daddy but I always felt it was as much about Republican voters favoring attitude over aptitude. If some Democrat could come along who has both they would win handily. As it is they only seem to win when the alternative is proving to be a disaster.

Might I make a suggestion to get Schumer's attention. Take away his attention. Unfollow him on Bluesky. Get his number down to immediate family members.

Pardon my French-Canadian but when it comes to Rogan I have turned the dial to f*** all the way off and am not interested in giving him any credit whatsoever for today's blind squirrel success.

Surely the image of a 75-year-old man, his glasses perched on the end of his nose as he shakes a balled-up fist at them, will be enough to inspire the fear needed to bring them around.

One of the greater irritations of these times is that we are obligated to give a shit what Rogan thinks.

What might be an issue is the indication this provides of an attempt to install a true lackey when Powell is done. And what you hear out of Republican senators who are still by and large going along.

Keith Chartrand @kdchartrand.bsky.social · 12/01/2026
At this point I think the markets are accustomed to the mayhem. Pretty good bet that Powell isn't going to suddenly acquiesce on rates and his term is done soon anyway. I could be wrong but I expect a drop and recovery on the recognition that the status quo still applies.

Well this should help boost that 28% approval rating.

Past 7-8 years?!! Birtherism goes back almost 15 years. And that propelled Trump into the lead in the Republican primary. JFC I'm Canadian and know this history.

Bullshit. Look for the political motive. I could argue just as easily that the conservatives on the court might be trying to do the Republicans and Trump a favor by squashing the tariffs.

When was the last time you suppose that oral arguments swayed the court in any way on a case with true national implications.

The idea that oral arguments at the Supreme Court matter any more is quaint.

Clauses that have been rendered absolutely meaningless. Along with emoluments and an ever increasing number of amendments.

Ouch! That new replay angle shows how ugly close that was.

Too bad. Clement would have been a deserving hero given his post-season performance.

We're the same age George. Which means we're both too old for this sh*t. 😰

Their ranks are being indicted or threatened with arrest. Blue cities are being specifically targeted by ICE and Federalized National Guard. All of this at the direction of a convicted felon who they couldn't manage to beat in an election. This bar for winning isn't just low it's on the floor.

To contrast your courage and willingness to fight with the cowardice and fecklessness emanating from the likes of @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social makes it all the more obvious the urgent need for a change in Democratic leadership.

You really have become the Susan Collins of the Democratic Party. Your sternly worded letters/videos and demands for action are every bit as hollow as her Ben and Jerry's variety of concern levels.

Sternly worded video. Can we apply the Susan Collins level of concern meter to you as well?

I'm old enough to have seen both of the unique structures in this picture being built.

I think I have had my fill of these all too charitable conversations with right-wing assholes. It's an accommodation that only ensures more of the same behavior or worse.

Despite that obvious quality, he was elected and re-elected. Yet you still want to cling to the quaint notion, "this is not who we are".

You really need to retire that expression. As a country, on the whole, It IS who you are.

Given how disastrously wrong you were about Iraq, it’s remarkable that you still feel entitled to weigh in on yet another Middle East conflict without a hint of humility.

How about they don't do this because of January 6th? Democrats are as responsible for normalizing Trump as anyone. Maybe more so. They are obligated to respect the results of what they deem to be a free and fair election, but they are under no obligation to respect Trump.

This call is starting to look a little premature. The current gap is less than 5 seats.

Projected Minority government. Makes things a little more complicated, especially with a separatist party holding some sway.

Given the polls have been narrowing a bit in the last few days (I know, not so much in Ontario), it seems a stretch that he loses. Regardless, if the polls largely hold from here, his days as leader are numbered, whether or not he holds his own riding.
