Well, why would you expect the Manchurian Candidate to be patriotic?

you could read in the latest New Yorker magazine:

Or, if you prefer auditory information over the written word, there is NPR 'Fresh Air' for today:

But this is from Eastern Elite Intellectuals, so it must be all fake news. I look forward to our President For Life.

US imposes 300% duty on Ryans, accuses Canada of handsomeness dumping



WASHINGTON, D.C. – NAFTA talks took another nasty turn as the U.S. Commerce Department announced an immediate 300% tariff on all Ryans imported from Canada.

“The United States remains committed to free, fair and reciprocal trade,” stated Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, “but we cannot sit idly by when Canada cynically dumps its excess handsomeness onto our markets.”

Ross cited Canada’s universal healthcare as an unfair subsidy that allows Canada to produce smouldering hunks at a fraction of the U.S. cost. Ross said, “Americans believe the government has no business in proper nutrition and medical care, which is why 30% of our Ryans suffer from lethargy, rashes, and hair loss caused by scurvy. They can’t compete with your Reynolds and Goslings. Besides, now that Seacrest is starting to turn into leather, all we can offer in return is Ryan Lochte, and nobody wants him.”

President Trump has made clear his loathing of the current state of Canadian-American attractiveness trade – although experts speculate that this is because he knows that every Canadian, from pop star to politician, makes him look like a rotten pumpkin topped with a puked-up hairball. Rumours are circulating that further draconian trade restrictions are being considered including a 50% cut to imports of RnB artists from Toronto and a blanket ban on Justins.

Canadian negotiators were left scrambling to counteract this surprise move. Retaliatory proposals included a broadcast blackout on late-night hosts named Jimmy and a rejection of all superhero movies that do not include Robert Downey, Jr.

In case anyone didn't catch on, The Beaverton is a Canadian equivalent of The Onion or other similar satirical takes on current events.

As long as you're talking about Dumb'old Trump and his track record as a businessman, I'd just like to say that Steve Jobs would have undoubtedly been a better president than Trump.

But that's not really fair, comparing Apples with oranges.

What the F**k? A spokesperson in the Trump administration with a sense of honor/shame?

I have long been wondering just how ICE and Justice and Trump have managed the framing of sanctuary cities so completely. This is not about humane treatment. As always, follow the money. It is about using state taxes to enforce federal regulations.

And good bye Mr. Tillerson. You did show competency and knowledge that made you an outlier among the cabinet.

Almost the worst thing about the Trump 'administration' (well, not the worst and probably not even in the first chapter of the Book of Worst Things) is that he has made me feel sympathy for the likes of Rex Tillerson and Jeff Sessions. It will pass.

From me, maybe a scintilla of sympathy for Tillerson. For Sessions, not even a whisper of a hint.

Tillerson gone... how could this possibly happen?

I saw this headline in the NYT:

Trump May Make America
Miss Rex Tillerson

For a fraction of a second there I completely misread it as

Trump May Make Rex Tillerson
Miss America

I know he's out of a job; and I know Trump likes his beauty pageants; but that did seem a stretch even for him.
