there are a few old school, russia-hating republicans still left in congress. they just also hate a few other things closer-to-home a bit more to actually do something about the track the administration is sending us down.

most those ‘red’ states are burdens on the federal wallet, too… receiving far more per capita from the feds than they contribute.

they’re looking for any shred of an excuse, however flimsy or pathetic, to discredit and smear ukraine and their allies.

why? they’re paying for it.

i don’t thank verizon or the cable company for their services. quite literally the opposite, actually.

this won’t end well.

The high Canadian tariffs on American dairy products outside of the USMCA quota…

the usmca?

the very same usmca that has the moron-in-chief’s name scribbled in sharpie at the bottom of?

whoever pulled the $424m out of their backside took another dose of taxes out of the payment that already had taxes deducted.

i’ve literally paid more in rent for my small apartment than the entire (5 unit) building is worth. i crossed that threshold years ago.

none. sounds like you’re cursed to ride the windows train for life.

maybe instead, pass a law. one with substantial penalties for failure to comply, that requires ‘social media companies’ of a ‘certain size’ to do (reasonable) ‘things’ in order to operate or make themselves available in canada. things that spaceman fireball would never do

it’ll be an inside job.

is this so they don’t get any warning when the doge squad comes to clear 'em out?
