Donald Trump has reportedly contacted Justin Trudeau with an offer to buy Alberta, asking the Prime Minister to name his price for the Canadian province.

We would still have to press 1 to speak English, 2 for Spanish, and now 3 for French.

And she realized how dumb it was to say that and deleted the tweet. Another golden opportunity for a politician (ex-politician in her case) to have kept their mouth tightly shut. You think they would have learned by now. Must be an occupational hazard to think that because you're in the job then you must have something important to say, despite the overwhelming evidence to the contrary. I was kind of amazed that this episode drew any attention at all considering that in the political celebrity circuit, she's C-list at best. I mean, who cares what she says about anything.

I see that the story du jour is that your President may have fired an assistant because of what she said that he had said about his daughter not being slim enough to be in pictures with him. Is this really the kind of issue that POTUS should be in the news about? I'm not sure which is worse, the fact that it may have actually happened the way it was reported or the fact that this kind of lame crap has become normal.
Anything that could be printed that would demeanize Trump to look bad is fair game for the new political hobby of "getting Trump".   All the sniping might backfire come election time as people have to actually make a choice between Trump and another septuagenarian: one who can't remember yesterday, another a commie and the third a minority wannabe.  But who knows?  People are fooled by this stuff and often believe it.

Fact checking, Democrats style:

Quote
U.S.—Joe Biden recently made a strange claim: that 2+2=5. He was ridiculed for his gaffe after making the statement while speaking at an elementary school. The kids all said, "Hey, dummy! The answer is 4, not 5!"

But the crack squad of fact-checkers at Snopes quickly got to work on Biden's incredulous claim. Their findings? Biden's statement was actually "mostly true."

"Sure, Biden got some key details wrong," said Bob Snopes, founder of Snopes. "But the central concept of what he was saying, that two numbers put together make another number, was completely accurate. Sometimes two and two make four. Sometimes they are five. Sometimes they are three. Sometimes they are all of them at once. It is not easy to become sane."

The website's 6,000-word defense/fact-check of Biden's claim further pointed out that 80% of the answer was correct, and it's only the one additional number that was a mixture of truth and falsehood.

As the event neared its conclusion, Biden claimed there were five spotlights lighting up the stage even though there were clearly four. One bald man in the back shouted, "There are four lights!" but was dragged from the room for reeducation.

Of course the media protects Biden. He's a Democrat. They only go after Trump.

Source?

It was a satyrical piece by the Babylon Bee.

Of course.

By the very fact that you took it seriously is telling.

Another shooting tragedy in Texas barely averted. Apparently, in some states it's easier to buy a gun than food. It could get worse when they run out of the Beyond Meat burgers.

Got to love The Onion!

‘Help! Help! Who Am I? Where Am I? Who Are You People?’ Says Biden In Embarrassing Campaign Gaffe
The Democrats and the progressive liberal press really don;t want Biden.  They want someone who will turn America into a socialist haven.

Biden's a lot like Trump.  He a "normal" guy who let's things hang out.  He's not scripted so often his words get messed up.  Add to that a media who want to take him down, so they amplify every misspeak. He's probably wondering why they treat him like Trump.  Frankly I think Biden is Trump's biggest adversary.  The press will help Trump if they take down Biden and give us, let's see, Pocahontas Warren or Comrade Sanders.
