I don't think judges are even overruling Trump at this point, just issuing injunctions and restraining orders to put things on hold while they sort out whether Trump is allowed to do what he's trying to do.

They rewrote the taskbar and Start menu for Windows 11, and left out stuff like being able to move the taskbar or even have separate taskbar items for each instance of an application. Rewriting the whole OS would be a disaster.

At some point countries need to just stop sending the US anything Trump puts tariffs on. He says tariffs on steel would be for "national security", but I bet having a chunk of their steel supply cut off would be a bigger national security problem than whatever he's pretending to solve.

I have enough money that I don't worry, but not necessarily enough that I shouldn't worry.

It's still handy to have enough money that losing your job wouldn't be an emergency.

Republicans in Congress won't complain until they notice they're no longer worth bribing.

We have a third party, the NDP, but the best election result they've gotten is being the official opposition. The Liberals are supposed to be the "center" party, but somehow when we're pissed at them the country almost always goes right rather than left.

The list of items in the second round of retaliatory tariffs was supposed to go up for public comment for 21 days before it kicked in; the government should go ahead with the comment period while Trump's tariffs are paused so all the tariffs can be implemented immediately if Trump's tariffs get unpaused.

The law doesn't matter. With Musk's position in the government this will basically end up as extortion: Settle or I'll make things difficult for you.

“Have you noticed how shithead has not left the White House since he was sworn in?”

I guess she hasn't noticed shithead was back on the golf course a week after he was sworn in.

So the bathrooms have bidets, right?

 

There was a time when sneering at international law would not have been a good look for someone aspiring to be Prime Minister of Canada.

But, charting new territory, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre contemptuously called Justin Trudeau “woke” for indicating Canada would abide by a ruling of the International Criminal Court (ICC) — a court that Canada helped establish to punish war criminals.

Poilievre specifically rejects the legitimacy of the ICC charges against Netanyahu, on the specious grounds that Netanyahu was democratically elected.
