And Canada is the biggest US trading partner, so what? Shift happens, remember how it all soured quickly when Morrison jumped on the Trump China Virus bandwagon? China stopped buying your wine, trade war lasted years.

Too much calling politicians names, not enough substance. Focusing on facts and specifics on how to resolve issues would help. We know Trump's an idiot, no need to repeat it 100x a day

No more babbling about walking away with the NL West. With the Giants and Padres, the Dodgers may only be third.

Carney met with the Toddler, who called him PM instead of Governor. Step forward. The Dems are lost and confused. They need a solid white candidate so race and gender are not factors. I think Harris provided fence-sitters with enough excuses to go Retardican

Seemingly tries? Nobody understands the process so everything goes to SCOTUS. Either Trump has the authority or Congress does, which is it?

"...washing or rinsing meat or poultry increases the risk for cross-contamination in the kitchen". Don't believe it, just rinse gently, don't let water spray all over. Removes shards, feathers, random gunk.

Especially given Trump had a hissy fit over NAFTA first term and renegotiated it then. A few years later the only significant change is the US trade deficit has grown wider, now he's on it again. Make your own plans, Canada, which Carney is starting to do

I just watched a recap of today's mtg chaired by Starmer. Turkiye's NATO rep says it's too early to commit to boots on the ground, but it's urgent to see who's in and at least plan. Maybe they'll warm to the idea soon? US must be booted, talks with Putin ended, and plans set in motion

Trump was trying to end the war quickly to get a Nobel because President Obama has one. Now Trump has revealed that the "art of the deal" is a joke. He's a nightmare at diplomatic negotiations.

I rarely hear mention that Trump hates Zelenskyy going back to his first impeachment in 2017 for trying to extort dirt on Biden from Zelenskyy. That's the key point for me
