Re: If Canada Became a State....

Yes but would Canada take New England, New York and New Jersey as new provinces? Please? I agree. Why do we even tolerate all those tiny bitty little baby-sized states? They need to man up and make a state they can be proud of. Instead of an archipelago of miniatures they.can be a proper Brobdingna...

Is Carville right that Trump will melt down in 6 weeks? I can’t see how it can happen unless the (republican) congress grows a pair and overtly blocks his abuse of authority over areas formerly controlled by them nominally and in practically by a class of professionals expert in highly specific fiel...

Re: You really, really, REALLY couldn't make this shit up

I don’t want similes or metaphors of horrors. I don’t want a richer and more pungent way of describing delusion and fear. I just want it to be over. I just want to know how many buckets and how many shovels and mops we need to clear the muck.

Re: The new U.S. Imperialist Agmany

Th US by comparison to other developed countries was never much of an imperialist power.

Our only “colony” was the Pilipines which we only held for 48...

Re: Trump Has Lost His Mind......

Absolutely breathtaking. His need for approval is planetary. Some of the Vietnamese actually LIKED us and the ones that didn’t, didn’t hate us as much as the Palestinians do.

We are careering downhill with our only hope being a spineless congress to tear the wheel from his hands.

Re: So the fucker did it

Trudeau has made Canada a lot less appealing. His goals are admirable but the methods he chooses are worse than doing nothing. He has damaged and set back every cause he claims to espouse.

Other than his own turd mark I generally wish we were more like them.
