It's cold here, really cold. So cold that the garage door won't open without a manual assist from a large man, so Jack and I used the front door instead. School buses were cancelled, so all the parents were driving their kids to school and the line up for drop off stretched back 2 km.
It's too cold to walk the dogs, or do much of anything outside, so Jack built a target range for us. It was actually a lot of fun and I'm a pretty good shot (with a nerf gun).
Colder than trump's heart, outside this morning.
We had a fair bit of snow this past week so they're plowing again. For anyone who wonders why our roads are so wide, this is why; because in the winter, we have something called windrows of plowed snow.
I am so sorry for all my American friends who have been caught up in the ugly chaos that has been rained down on their country. It seems that Project 2025 was intent on getting trump into office, so that they could have a puppet who would do their bidding. trump is too stupid to understand what he's doing and will do whatever they want, as long as they stroke his ego.
There was an article in Forbes a few days ago, looking at the facts behind trump's claims that Canada has allowed millions of illegal immigrants across the border, and that fentanyl is pouring into the US from Canada. These are his "reasons" for slapping a 25% tariff on Canadian goods, fentanyl and illegal immigrants. If it smells like shit and looks like shit, it's probably bullshit.
In fact, in 2024, 17.6 lbs of fentanyl was seized being smuggled into the US from Canada, while 10.8 lbs of fentanyl were seized being smuggled into Canada from the US.
As for illegal immigrants, more people crossed illegally from the US into Canada, than from Canada, into the US, in 2023.
But lets not cloud the issue with facts. The only good thing to come out of all this fuckery, is it has united Canada and Canadian premiers (with the exception of course of our own dimwitted premier), in a way that I have not seen before. Canadians are proud to be Canadians and have no desire to emulate their neighbor to the south.
I stole this from Debra at She Who Seeks, thank you Debra. It's so true, and not just about trump.
Brrrrrr, I say. Brrrr! As for the rest, the political BS, what more is there to say? Nothing new from me, anyway. Just the disheartenment.
ReplyDeleteExcellent synopsis of the orange shitgibbon and project 2025. I have long said that he is their useful idiot. And for that matter, Musk's as well. He is too stupid to understand any of this. If it smells like bullshit.......... Gotta love Schrodinger's Douchebag, so fitting.
ReplyDeleteIt is currently SO embarrassing to be an American.
ReplyDeleteI am heartbroken and terrified about what's happening. It feels like everything is out of our control. Many of us in Washington are hoping to be annexed by Canada. We are south Canada anyway, right? :) That is COLD. I can't imagine those temperatures. Although I live way farther north than people realize and also close to Canada, our temperatures are moderated by the Pacific, thankfully. I would need a whole new wardrobe!
ReplyDeleteYou are so right. Trump doesn't have the brains to tie his shoes without a google video. And here we are- a country being run by billionaires who hold the puppet's strings and now have their hands on the purse strings too.
ReplyDeleteWe have to stop this.
Why in the world would Canada want to become part of the US?
I do like Jack's targets.
Terrified too. Especially since the goons now have control over the treasury. I love schrodingers douchbag! So true, sadly.

I've been mistaken for Canadian, Minnesota being very Canadian like. I am ashamed, embarrassed and angry.. All at the same time. The elected people in Congress need to step up and stop this, no matter what our corrupt supreme court ruled. They ruled against the Constitution, so it really should have no standing. I'm so sorry.
