This Week's Quote

Donald Trump and his sycophants spent yesterday bragging about the speed with which they’ve moved during these first 100 days. They’re right. Never has a president failed so spectacularly, so often, so quickly, as Donald Trump.

The Ehs Have It

It must still be the Easter season, as Canada's Mark Carney has risen from the dead.

Canadians elected Carney prime minister yesterday, just months after he and his Liberal Party appeared destined for a drubbing of historic proportions.

What changed? Above all, the presence of a putz south of the border.

During the campaign's first week, Donald Trump announced tariffs on car imports. Yesterday, Trump wished Canadian voters "good luck" and repeated his threat to convert Canada into the 51st state.

The result of that and all Trump's shenanigans in between has been a surge of what The Washington Post calls "Trump-induced Canadian patriotism."

What the hell does that shameless cantaloupe have to do to induce American patriotism?

Santos Sentenced

The only human being who lies more than Donald Trump was sentenced today to over seven years in prison. George Santos, who pleaded guilty last summer to federal wire fraud and aggravated identity theft, will begin his stretch in July.

Gucci, Ferragamo, and Burberry may be sorry to see him go, but the rest of us are not.

The openly gay New York Republican served less than a year in Congress, becoming just the sixth member of the House in history to be booted by his colleagues. He got to Washington thanks to a resume that was more fictitious than the Hitler Diaries.

I'll always remember the images of Santos chumming in the House chamber with Lauren Boebert, Matt Gaetz, and Marjorie Taylor Greene, the Four Hosers of the Apocalypse.

His defense lawyer had asked for a sentence of two years, saying Santos had been bullied his whole life. Believing "that the world would not accept him for who he was," Santos created an alternate persona. His lawyer also claimed, "Deep down, he is warm, kind, caring, and thoughtful."

So deep down. So, so, so deep.

Remember, when they try to blow smoke up your ass, it means a new Secretary of Defense has been chosen.

For the Record

It should be clearly understood that meeting with the American vice president did not kill Pope Francis.

Praying "Lord, take me now" is how EVERYBODY reacts to meeting with JD Vance.
