The folks of Gander Newfoundland, Canada opened their hearts and homes to some 6000 passengers and crews who couldn't fly home to the US on 9/11. I'll always remember what these Canadians did to help Americans in a time of need. #CDNPoli

In the midst of an awful lot of ever-so-sophisticated equivocating and oh-so-thoughtful-chin-stroking and too-clever-by-half-over-thinking, I just want to say, simply and unequivocally and for the record:

The United States and Canada have been friends, partners, and allies for more than 150 years across 32 presidential administrations. And now, solely because of the arrogance, incompetence, and ego of the current occupant of the White House, that relationship is being driven straight toward a cliff.

Witnessing aggressively to a captive audience assembled for other purposes, is an old tactic with a new target audience designed create a 1st amendment case

A decade+ ago. this was attempted in a public school. The person encouraged to yell missionary language was a child yelling at their peers
Yelling your beliefs at people who are captive is an assault, and should be treated as one.

It’s wild that basic constitutional knowledge isn’t required to be a federal judge. Judicial nominee John Marck couldn't even say if a president can serve a 3rd term under the 22nd Amendment—saying he'd need to "review" it. The Constitution is clear: the answer is NO.

MAGA is so cognizant of Trump’s insecurity that they have to make sure EVERYTHING is about him. Even when they’re supposedly eulogizing Lindsey Graham
Hannity: "My President, Lindsey probably has a heavenly version of Mar-a-Lago. It may even be a little bigger. I wouldn't be surprised if he added one big beautiful ballroom and an arch somewhere on the property. Because he would want to obviously duplicate his dearest friend in life. You."
