Mark Carney's approval rating is actually the *inverse* of Donald Trump's.
CARNEY: 70/30 approve/disapprove
TRUMP: 30/70 approve/disapprove
Apparently, competence doesn't go unnoticed in either country.

Lot of issues here but one part that sticks out in light of the almost-attacked-a-Chinese-ship story today: people with very important jobs where lives are at stake have bought the hype and outsourced their whole brains to AI. We're going to see more and more of this.

French far-right logic:
1) Endorse Trump and cheer on his war against Iran
2) Watch oil prices inevitably skyrocket

Step 2: Describe it in the most favorable light possible, since he won't read it anyway.

More U.S. troops have died amid Iran war than Pentagon has disclosed publicly
Officials who spoke with The Post expressed frustration that the additional loss of life in the Middle East is not reflected in the Defense Department’s casualty database.

I know this won’t happen, but the entire WH press corps should walk out. Trump craves attention and is obsessed with his coverage. Not covering his Oval Office Lie Sessions would hurt him more than just about anything.
