Trump raises prospect of 'friendly takeover' of Cuba US President Donald Trump has raised ⁠the prospect of a "friendly takeover" of Cuba, telling reporters at the White House that Secretary of State Marco Rubio was dealing with the issue at a "very high...

Saw this coming from a mile away. Take away any means for others to assist by threatening tariffs and then swoop in like some sort of saviour to "save" them from the disaster Trump and his regime created. What an absolute piece of shit of a human being.

Greenland says ‘no, thanks’ to Trump’s US hospital boat Leaders of both Denmark and Arctic territory rebuff US president’s claim that islanders are ‘not being taken care of’

This is the typical Trump playbook. Create your own narrative and conjure up something that does not exist - or do what's necessary to actually cause that problem - then swoop in like you're some sort of saviour. But the world isn't as easily fooled as the US is.

Live updates: Secret Service shoot man after 'unauthorised entry' at US President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida Authorities say the US president was not in Florida when a suspect carrying a shotgun and fuel can was killed.

Trump's sex life alone has resulted in numerous unauthorized entries at Mar-a-Lago.

Trump announces increase of new global tariffs from 10% to 15% After most of his tariffs were outlawed on Friday, Trump announced new global tariffs of 10% - which he says he has now increased to 15%.

This geriatric fuck changes his fiscal policies as often as most people change their underwear. I doubt he even remembers changing it in the first place.

Purchases of mega warehouses and Trump administration’s new memo destroying refugee protections paints a terrifying reality for immigrants DHS just showcased their intention to ramp up arrests and deportations.

Just one more step to ensure that Trump, his regime, and the Republican party go down in history as the most racist ever. Trump thinks he's building a legacy for himself, but he seems to think a legacy can't be a monumental pile of shit and him looking like a fuckstick.

Cuban man’s death at El Paso tent camp was result of “spontaneous use of force,” ICE says His death is the first homicide in ICE custody in recent history, experts said. It comes after the deadliest year in ICE detention in decades.

"ICE officials this week reported that the death of a 55-year-old Cuban man at a detention facility in El Paso was the result of the staff’s “spontaneous use of force” to “prevent him from harming himself.”"

I guess mission accomplished. They just did it for him. Idiots.

It is fucking glorious to see Trump having an absolute fucking meltdown over the Supreme Court's decision on tariffs today. It's also stunning - though not a surprise for Mango Mussolini - for him to publicly say the decision is "against the US" while ignoring what's legal or not. Fucking idiot.

U.S. Supreme Court finds Trump overstepped authority in imposing tariffs under emergency law | CBC

Well that's a welcome and surprising turn of events. Now to see how long before he merely ignores the ruling.

Smith reads the room only at arm's length. She has little to no idea what the world thinks or how it operates or even what the average Albertan wants. And forget the assumption that we should prioritize our laws over federal - how about the fact that legally we can't. What a waste of time and air.

Good luck. I've known actual everyday Albertans pushing for this since the early 80s but everyone seems to get it except the politicians.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith announces fall referendum on immigration, constitutional questions | CBC News Premier Danielle Smith wants to hold a referendum in October on measures to limit immigration to Alberta and changes she believes would give the province more rights under the Constitution.

Smith is an utter idiot. What sort of intelligent human being would, in the same breath as saying budget shortfalls are due to the volatility and unpredictable nature of the cost of oil, also say that the solution is to rely even more heavily on oil for revenue?

U.S. trade deficit totaled $901 billion in 2025, barely budging despite Trump's tariffs The U.S. trade deficit swelled in December, closing out a year in which the imbalance was essentially unchanged.

Good job. Trump raises the cost of products in the US and around the world and doesn't even accomplish the one thing it was supposed to do. Everyone but that piss-haired fartmonger saw this coming.

It's like there's something not quite right in their heads.

There's a certain amount of "they get what they deserve" except the blast radius is so far beyond his voter base. If their mess was contained to their country, it'd be one thing.

Trump threatens to block opening of US-Canada bridge The Gordie Howe International Bridge, which connects Michigan to Ontario, is set to open this year.

Trump is having yet another tantrum. Canada paid for the bridge, for fuck sake. He's refusing to allow it to open until Canada "treats the United States with the Fairness and Respect that we deserve." I'd sooner see Canada demolish the bridge before caving to a tyrant.

Trump Calls U.S. Olympian Hunter Hess a 'Real Loser' Over Comments About Representing America Donald Trump called U.S. skier Hunter Hess a "real loser" after he expressed "mixed emotions" about representing America at the 2026 Winter Olympics

I don't think a draft-dodger has any right to call anyone, especially an Olympic athlete, a "Loser." Yet here are. Ol' bonespur just can't help but be a piece of shit. Yet again.

Who is in the Epstein files? Millions of Epstein-related documents released by the US justice department include the names of the world's rich and powerful.

"The anti-aging influencer and CBS News contributor Peter Attia exchanged hundreds of emails with Epstein"
I don't think describing Attia as "anti-aging" differentiates him from anyone else who was in Epstein's circle. Based on what went on, they were all anti-aging.

“Republicans ought to nationalize the voting”: Trump eyes radical power-grab Those concerned about democracy don’t have the luxury of simply shrugging with indifference to the president’s latest conspiratorial nonsense.

Now Trump's latest scheme is suggesting that Republicans take over elections. The same asshole caught on tape trying to coerce Georgia to just give him "a few more votes." Where to even begin with what the fuck is wrong in America right now. Vote this fuckstick out.

PP has been one of the most prominent figures in Canadian politics when sowing the seeds of dissent. It's only when facing the possibility of being shitcanned that he's suddenly promoting unity, because he knows it worked for Carney. You can't trust anything PP says.

That's true too. It also comes down to what his handlers are telling him to do.

For a country that allegedly has such a robust economy, Trump sure feels the need to hobble any competition that exists. The more he says and the more he does, the bigger admission that maybe the US economy isn't doing quite as well as he keeps lying to its citizens.

Protests erupt after man is shot and killed during Minneapolis immigration crackdown Federal immigration officers shot and killed a man Saturday in Minneapolis, drawing hundreds of protesters in a city already shaken by another fatal shooting weeks earlier.

It's important to note Trump is falsely saying the governor and mayor "are inciting Insurrection." Those are important words because that's exactly the wording that he claims allows him to send in the military. If they're sent in, this situation is going to explode.

Aww. It looks like we struck a nerve with Mango Mussolini. Good. Meanwhile, Trump is so dense that he doesn't realize he's doing exactly what he was accused of doing in Carney's Davos speech, using their size and tariffs as weapons. Can't read the room to save his life.

So now Trump's latest thing is that because he failed to win the Nobel Peace Prize, he's no longer under pressure to go after peaceful resolutions, and so that's why he's going after Greenland. Even though he threatened to take Greenland even before his failed Nobel bid. What a fucking idiot.

Federal Agents Used a Battering Ram to Enter a Minneapolis Home Without Valid Warrant, Video Shows “Any American should be terrified by…such an egregious violation of the Fourth Amendment,” said the arrestee’s attorney.

ICE agent who shot Renee Good suffered internal bleeding, officials say Jonathan Ross, who shot Renee Good in Minneapolis last week, suffered internal bleeding after the incident, two officials said, though it's not clear how extensive the bleeding was.

What utter bullshit. The vehicle brushed him at most. What are his organs made out of? Paper mache? Given the spin and lies the administration has spewed for months now, I see no reason to believe this is anything more than another bullshit story.
