Wednesday Stuff

David Doel informs us that U.S. support from Canadians is plummeting, which should come as absolutely no surprise given the antics of our 34-count-convicted-felon *preznit...I think I mentioned already that, when it comes to Canada and the military, there was no hesitation at all from them about invading Afghanistan after 9/11 in accordance with honoring Article 5 of the NATO pact (an attack against one nation is an attack against all – of course, Orange Sh*tstain is too dumb to recall that or even know it in the first place)...oh, and by the way, as Doel notes, all of this nonsense from our Toddler-In-Chief is helping support for Canada’s liberal party – talk about unintended consequences...and that bar graph about America’s favorability as viewed by Canada after 1/20 of this year really does tell the sad story...yep, #47 is responsible for a wave of Canadian nationalism affecting their economy (which could have been foreseen by anyone with a functioning brain synapse), and I can’t see how anybody will know what kind of impact that will have on this country...



...and Farron Cousins tells us more on how King Elon I is causing chaos in the White House of Cantaloupe Capone...hadn’t really thought that DOGE is just another tool to create a smokescreen for the Gropenfuhrer, but if there’s a single thing this ruinous administration is good at, it’s misdirection (aided by our thoroughly compliant corporate media), and it makes sense that Elon is a tool for that, among other things...didn’t know there was a pic of Elmo behind the Resolute Desk, which should offend everyone in this nation (but good luck with that I know)...



...and David Shuster of Rebel HQ brings us the tale of Trumpist Judge Carl Nichols blocking the Gropenfuhrer from trying to dismantle USAID and laying off 22K workers...also, we get an update from 19 state attorneys general trying to stop King Elon and DOGE form accessing private data from the Treasury Department...and gee, isn’t it interesting to see how Little Marco was for foreign aid before he was against it, as well as Huckleberry Graham...and “tremendous fraud, tremendous waste”...projection much, Diaper Boy?...not sure why they included that idiotic Jonah Goldberg clip again; already pointed out that Goldberg is full of sh*t...



...and Jesse Dollemore tells us about Our Ochre Abomination not necessarily endorsing Couch Boy for ’28, in response to a question from Bret Baier of Fix Noise...I don’t think this was “throwing Vance under the bus,” but it was definitely a lukewarm endorsement, which is the best you’ll get from Our Treasonous Orange Pustule...oh, and apparently Baier goes to Mar-a-Lago to golf with the Gropenfuhrer; as Atrios might say, time for another blogger ethics panel (the joke being that filthy, unkempt liberal bloggers such as yours truly aren’t privileged enough to share “the discourse” with our Beltway courtier media and their brethren)...



(And by the way, like legacy corporate media and “independent” media, which I try to be in my way, I know I’m spending a lot of time on President Fergus Laing because of the threat he poses...believe me when I tell you that I’d like to spend at least as much time on what the “D” team is doing in response, but that exercise is greatly hindered by nonsense like this...and I mean the response from the "D" team, not people contacting them.)

Update 2/14/25: OK, this is positive (from earlier this week)...

Want to know what the DNC is doing? Mainstream media will not report this. Here is what they did today.

...and we’re planning for a parade in these parts for the world champion Philadelphia Eagles (and the projection is for a million people to attend – I have a feeling they’ll make that number easily), and yours truly may be there also – that’s not decided at the moment; in the meantime, Robert Reich lets us know about these private equity bastards investing in the NFL...right now, they’re limited to a 10% stake in each team as Reich tells us, but yeah, we DEFINITELY should keep an eye on this...



...and with the David Doel clip in mind (re, the Trumpist idiocy against Canada and Mexico in particular), I thought I’d periodically put up clips from vocalists/musicians in those countries, and I want to start with this from our neighbor to the north.
