Canadians, it might be a good idea to NOT vacation in or visit the USA this year. Probably for the next four years. Try Europe instead. We love you and we’ll let you know if/when it’s safe to come back.

I got to hand it to The Onion. When Trump won I thought reality would get so strange The Onion would not be able to top it, or be at a loss for words. But the Onion is keeping up just fine and I’m in awe.

It is now apparent that the President of the US, Donald Trump, is completely under the influence of Russia’s Putin. From Trump’s words I can draw no other conclusion. Trump’s treatment of President Zelensky and Ukraine is disgraceful.

Well per PC Mag: MapQuest Lets You Name The Gulf of Mexico Whatever You Want. Good for MapQuest for seeing an opportunity for some publicity, plus not caving in.

I can see where having essential Internet services be located outside of the United States would be an asset. Things like email servers, search engines, private communicators, social networks, storage, web hosting all fall into this. I never thought I would have to say that.

Trump has to know that Ukraine will reject any “peace plan” cooked up by the US and Russia alone, without Ukraine there. I think that is what Trump wants. He can then abandon support for Ukraine and pretend it’s their fault for rejecting his peace plan. Trump can pretend the blame is on Ukraine.

You can’t make this stuff up. Trump administration wants to un-fire nuclear safety workers but can’t figure out how to reach them

Typical for President Mush and Trump.

If I’d been fired like that I’d be demanding a raise in salary before I came back.

I think Trump and Vance wake up each day, look at a map and pick a new country they can piss off that day. Meanwhile President Muck is in charge of destroying the US economy and his own businesses.
