Wasn't that Perjury Greene's threat?

I bet at least part of the reason for the lake running low is climate change too, making Trump and his cronies partly responsible for the very expenses he's having a hissy fit over..

Fun fact: according to the scientific consensus*, The Panama Canal is not located in China

*AKA maps. Geography is a science, after all..

I love how bizarre this headline and pic combo would seem to anyone who hasn't paid enough attention to know the wider context 😄

Speaking as a middle aged cishet white dude who only knows some basic HTML:

Especially when it comes to Biden. He's shown himself to be an extremely stubborn conservative Democrat in the Manchin mold.

Or just come, I guess 🤷

"Government doesn't help you! Re-elect me so I can keep making sure of that!" - every "small government" fascist

Every time you think Greg Abbott can't be any more of a disgusting and gleefully cruel monster, the little piss-baby proves you wrong 🤬

Yeah, best case scenario is that the rest of the world starts to consciously uncouple from the US, taking away the ability of the incoming fascist government to strongarm "allies" into doing and saying everything they want or suffer financial and diplomatic ruin.

Starmer should demand that Trump either drop the proposed tariffs or give New England back 😄

People have a right to exist and to self-determination, not nations. "Israel has a right to exist" is just a strawman argument.

Especially since the Israeli people already have self-determination and overwhelmingly support their government committing countless crimes against humanity to ensure that Palestinians never will.

Summary

Donald Trump criticized Panama Canal fees as “ridiculous” and demanded lower costs or the canal’s return to the US.

In a Truth Social post, Trump also expressed concern about potential Chinese influence over the waterway, despite no direct Chinese control of canal operations.

The canal, transferred to Panama in 1999, is vital for global trade, handling 5% of maritime traffic.

Trump’s comments follow record revenues of $5 billion announced by the Panama Canal Authority. Panama has not yet responded to his statements.

 

I nominate this NYT opinion piece for shittiest take of 2024!

Disgusting, in my opinion.

 
 

From Florida, of course 😄
