Somebody smarter than me, and that's a large demographic, who is from the U.S. please explain to me why Trump is not being impeached right now. Explain it like I'm a 5 year old.
Put aside all his illegal and immoral acts from his last year in office. Just focus on this week - illegal attack on a sovereign nation, kidnapping that nation's president, siphoning oil from that nation and declaring the revenue will be under his personal control, defending ICE goons who murdered an innocent American citizen, and arbitrarily increasing the U.S. military budget from $1T to $1.5T without any oversight. Where are the checks and balances? Where are sensible Republicans? Where the fuck are the Democrats?

So yesterday Trump mused about a 3rd term, said ideally he'd cancel elections because Democrats are evil, and today it emerged that he's appropriated all the proceeds of Venezuela's oil industry -

Where is the resistance? Who is trying to save what's left of America's reputation?

Good Morning #Canada I've been thinking that it's time for another "Something" Week, perhaps related to wildlife well known by Canadians.Good Morning #Canada
I've been thinking that it's time for another "Something" Week, perhaps related to wildlife well known by Canadians. I have already posted dedicated week-long content for the first two critters on the attached list of iconic Canadian animals. Since it's winter, something large and white might be appropriate.
The #WWF list is a good reminder of just how fragile some of these species are. Only 72 or 73 Southern Resident Orcas are estimated to remain and are critically endangered. The Monarch Butterfly is also at risk because it's long distance migratory lifestyle is impacted by environmental changes over a wide area.

If you're packing for a trip to the U.S. then don't forget your toothbrush and a burner phone.If you're packing for a trip to the U.S. then don't forget your toothbrush and a burner phone. A stripped down cell phone is no longer the tool of criminals and spies. Now you too can smugly hand over your phone to a customs agent and say, "Knock yourself out...". Unless you're non-white because then you are going to get disappeared anyway....

2 part poll - Employment.@mayintoronto @jeffhorton
During COVID I realized that if I made some personal financial changes, I could retire at age 65. Then I got a new boss who pretty much convinced me, through his mismanagement, to do just that at the end of 2021. Horrible boss but great catalyst.
