Canadians are getting fired up (and united) over the orange buffoon's suggestion that they should become the US's "51st state":

https://newsroom.co.nz/2025/03/07/canadians-go-from-anxious-to-angry-over-trump-moves/

The 51st state suggestion is one that has united Canadian politicians in opposition.

The fightback has also given Trudeau’s Liberal Party a major boost. At the beginning of January, the Liberals were down at the polls by 30 points, but the gap has now vanished, and some surveys even have them ahead. That could be partly because the leader of the Conservative opposition, Pierre Poilievre, has been compared to Trump, talking recently about cutting foreign aid, calling people names and lashing out at the media.

On that subject, Trump may get nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize as he unites a lot of the world against him:

Trump and JD ignored that, didnt answer that bleated that you can't do a deal if you call names. Ok if Trump calls VZ a dictator, ok if JD bags EU recently.

This guy [Marco Rubio] didn't help either even though he could have said something to help Zelensky, glad to see he got called out for this:

Some more on this: https://archive.ph/nm2tj

While Rubio was quick to get in line in the days after the Zelenskyy showdown, the historic confrontation did indeed reveal a fault line inside the administration: Rubio is privately frustrated that Trump has effectively sidelined him...One of the sources said they felt as though Rubio is often the last to know when foreign policy decisions are made in the White House....“Trump has Marco at State because it’s the consolation prize,” a Republican close to both told me.

Jesus: "For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?"

Musk: "Retard. The value of a man's soul is about the same as a Model 3. Plus you qualify for a $7,500 federal electric vehicle tax credit, idiot. I'm the only messiah here, bro "

Elon Musk’s Tesla Fined $50,000 Following Texas Worker’s Death: Huffington Post

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration has fined Tesla nearly $50,000 following a worker’s death at its Gigafactory in Texas, underscoring owner Elon Musk’s ethical entanglements as he and the Trump administration hack at federal agencies.

The workplace safety agency opened an investigation last year after Victor Joe Gomez Sr. died on Aug. 1, 2024. Gomez was an electrician working for a subcontractor at the automaker’s Austin facility when he was electrocuted, according to a wrongful death lawsuit his family filed against Tesla.
...
OSHA’s findings are a reminder of just how many conflicts of interest Musk faces as the White House guts federal agencies and fires federal employees by the thousands.
...
Musk has tangled with a host of regulatory bodies due to his various business interests, which include Tesla, his rocket company SpaceX and his social media site X, formerly Twitter. Now he’s in a position to cut or undermine agencies like OSHA, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Federal Aviation Administration and the Consumer Financial Protection Board.

The CFPB, which would regulate a payment system Musk hopes to implement on X, has been effectively closed by the Trump administration, with hundreds of staffers facing layoffs. Musk had previously said he wanted to “delete” the agency that helps guard consumers from predatory financial practices.

I've heard some Gen Z using the term "banality of evil" with Trump and Elon.

Hannah Arendt's lessons for our times: the banality of evil, totalitarianism and statelessness:

If you spend any time on the internet, you'll no doubt be aware of Hannah Arendt’s famous image, that young, sad woman, cigarette in her hands, staring into the mid distance. You'll no doubt be aware too of her quotations that seem to drop into social media every time we have another political outrage.

“There are no dangerous thoughts,” Hannah Arendt says, “Thinking itself is dangerous”. “The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced communist, but the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction no longer holds”.

“The practise of violence changes the world” she also says, “but the more likely change is into a more violent world”. You'll also remember Hannah Arendt for her famous phrase: "The banality of evil".

Donald Trump is surely not a Russian asset. But how else to explain his behaviour?: Prospect magazine
...
I have heard ... our current president is not a very good negotiator. Expert negotiators do not make sweeping concessions before they have even arrived at the table. Yet, with Ukraine, that is how Trump appears to have played his cards.

It is possible, in other words, that Trump is a bit stupid.
...
A second theory I have heard is that, if not exactly stupid, Trump is maybe “not all there”. He is, after all, the second oldest person to hold the office of president ... Maybe Trump struggles in the way many seniors do and is easily muddled. Though three years younger than his predecessor, he can’t remember whose side he is supposed to be on.

538 has been shut down 🙁 really disappointing as I liked their graphs and polling.

What's a good reliable place to track the orange buffoon's approval rating these days? Something that plots it on a table that's easy to follow.

Summary: The video shows Trump nominee to run the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). He worked as a lobbyist

large law firm defending energy companies in lawsuits alleging damages from climate change
Duke Energy: implicated in legal actions related to climate change deception, misleading the public about the dangers of fossil fuels and delaying the transition to renewable energy
The American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM): launched a $3 million advertisement campaign targeting Vice President Kamala Harris claiming she aimed to end the sale of gasoline-powered cars if elected, spent over $30 million to a ballot measure proposing a carbon tax, worked to pass laws to imposes felony penalties for protests targeting oil and gas facilities, stopped enhanced chemical safety disclosure of manufacturers' trade secrets,

From NRDC

"The first Trump administration was a disaster for the environment. Now, with a second administration set to take office, the damage will be much worse
…
At its core, Project 2025 is a blueprint to hollow out federal agencies and shift power into the hands of political appointees and their industry taskmasters. This would transform agencies like the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), into empty shells, incapable of carrying out their regulatory responsibilities. Instead of protecting public health and the environment, these "zombie agencies" would serve private interests disguised as political priorities, further marginalizing populations that are already underserved.

Communities across the nation will feel the devastating impact of an EPA stripped of its power to regulate and protect against environmental harms. People rely on the agency to ensure clean air, safe drinking water, protection from toxic chemicals, and action against our changing climate. The stakes are now even higher for the communities who are always hit first and hit worst by climate disasters and pollution."

A journalist spent 24 hours in MAGA media hell, where Trump is a genius, nothing is wrong, and reality is whatever they decide.

This Canadian company is letting you plan ahead - 4 years worth of beer! They're assuming you're going to want at least one every day, and given how unstable the orange buffoon has proved so far, I think that's a fair call 🍺
