You mean that hussy is cheating on me????

That just gave me an interesting thought. I wonder what the Venn diagram looks of Trump/Poppinfresh supporters and people who don't use adblockers...

"Bartell went on to say, "Hey...It's cheaper than a divorce. m'iright or m'iright", gave this reporter a fist-bump. Smacked the behind of a passing blonde and backed away while giving finger-guns.

We've reached out for comment. But so far, his motivation remains unclear."

Did Putin order it while winking?

Holy shit that is the most hilarious thing I've read today.

Apple will keep charging whatever their marketing department can convince idiots to pay.

Their profit margin has zero basis in the reality of how much it costs to design, build, and market a particular product and is instead a function of how high they can push it until their customer says no.

That's why they have the spare cash to produce goddamn television shows... That they THEN make you pay to watch!

IPhone users have already paid for appleTV a thousand times over. But hey, gotta look cool in front of your coworkers I guess.

Prime Minister Kinew (canoe) would be the most Canadian sounding thing ever.

Because Ford has a personality. And he used it to make a big show about (pretending) to counter Trump, which gave him a boost.

For the most part, not even Conservatives in Canada like Trump. It's a mistake to think that Canadian Conservatives are just "Northern Republicans". Some are. But for the most part, Conservatives here (especially Ontario provincial Conservatives) are still human beings.

Poppinfresh, on the other hand, made his entire schtick about basically copying Trump style tactics. He and his cronies are to federal conservatives what MAGA is to old-school republicans; a hard-right political fringe that is attempting to wrest control of the Conservative narrative by appealing to the same demographics as Trump, clamping down on what Con MPs are and are not allowed to say to the media, personal attacks and three word slogans instead of actual policy, etc...

And it almost worked. For a while it looked like he would succeed. And it's why he was absolutely desperate to get an election before Trump took office; before the idea of a Trump presidency became the reality of a Trump presidency. Because even among Conservatives, Trump's chaos craters the popularity of any politician that seeks to emulate him, which Doug Ford certainly did not do.

Thanks to Trump, the Liberals have been gifted the best possible campaign season. Poppinfresh has spent his entire time as leader doing only three things:

  • Basing their entire campaign on Trudeau

  • Coming up with stupid three word slogans.

  • Outwardly and openly styling himself after Trump in order to court our own version of MAGA.

They'd be stupid not to take advantage of it earlier rather than later. It's primed for all this shit to blow up in the Cons faces in an exceptionally hilarious fashion.

an unfortunately not insignificant percent of the population in the central provinces who would probably side with the US

As someone from the prairies (Saskatchewan), I can assure you that while, yes, we do have our fair share of pretty hard-right leaning individuals, most of even THEM are anti-trump because of the sovereignty issue. Even the ones who agree with what he is doing and would like to see Poppinfresh in power to do similar up here, would never side them militarily in an annexation attempt for the same reason that American MAGA flies the US flag...sovereignty is their identity; CANADIAN sovereignty.

There is a TINY number (some dipshits in Alberta) who actually want Alberta to join the US. But they are fractionally insignificant.

And yet, there is actual proof (albeit circumstantial) that conservatism is literally the result of brain damage. (eg. Fetterman)
