I think that Time magazine cover is trying to encourage Trump, not discourage him. It's just further normalization for him in his mind, because you know he's not going to read the actual articles, and that's assuming any of the articles are actually anti-Trump and he'll even be able to understand them to begin with.
By Perfect Blue Go To PostOh come on, World War II is the one history thing US conservatives expect each other to know. They fucking love that shit.
LMAO
Remember when Captain America and the Red Skull teamed up to beat Napoleon on D-Day? Matt Damon was so heroic that day. It’s why we must always stand for the anthem.

Exclusive: U.S. immigration authorities sending 1,600 detainees to federal prisons
WASHINGTON/SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - U.S. authorities are transferring into federal prisons about 1,600 Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainees, officials told Reuters on Thursday, in the first large-scale use of federal prisons to hold detainees amid a Trump administration crackdown on people entering the country illegally.
An ICE spokeswoman told Reuters five federal prisons will temporarily take in detainees awaiting civil immigration court hearings, including potential asylum seekers, with one prison in Victorville, California, preparing to house 1,000 people.
Officials of a prison employees’ union said the influx of ICE detainees raises questions about prison staffing and safety.
Union leaders at prisons in California, Texas and Washington state who spoke to Reuters said they had little time to prepare for the large intake of detainees.
At Victorville, the prison getting the largest number of people, workers are moving about 500 inmates in a medium-security facility to make space, said John Kostelnik, local president for the American Federation of Government Employees Council of Prison Locals union.
“There is so much movement going on,” said Kostelnik. “Everyone is running around like a chicken without their head.”
ICE spokeswoman Dani Bennett said, “U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is working to meet the demand for additional immigration detention space, both long and short term” due to a surge in illegal border crossings and a U.S. Department of Justice zero-tolerance policy.
“To meet this need, ICE is collaborating with the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS), the Bureau of Prisons (BOP), private detention facility operators and local government agencies,” she said in a statement to Reuters.

By Lunatic Go To PostFord won and Caps won. All is well in the worldA quarter of his candidates were facing lawsuits or under legal investigation, he never explained his own platform and couldn’t get through a single week without a scandal of his own, but okay.

Congrats on getting wannabe Trump elected. Shitty $1 beer for all.Man I was just born London, Ontario and went back to UTM for school. I didn't even vote because I no longer live in Canada but I saw where the province was going and it wasn't being fiscally responsible. CPP at the rate it is going won't even exist by the time we need it. The whole sanctuary province shit killed the NDP's.

OHIP for all! No student debt!”) and publicly had to admit they fumbled the math on their own platform to the tune of $1.4 billion. I was pretty unimpressed by them too.
On the other hand, the “fiscally responsible” conservatives couldn’t tell anyone how much their platform cost until a week before the election, reversed course on a bunch of things then reversed back, and couldn’t tell anyone where the magical $6 billion in inefficiencies were because they don’t exist. Then you throw in Ford being an actual crook with mob ties and Trump slogans (“Crooked Christine!) and it’s like...yuck. I’m shocked the margin turned out to be as wide as it was.
The NDP had Toronto Centre sewn up so I voted Green for the only time in my life because if everybody sucked I might as well register a vote for not melting the earth.

I honestly wasn't shocked at all. A lot of the province is fed up with Trudeau so are trying to get his party out.

US President Donald Trump says he may pardon boxing legend Muhammad Ali for a draft-dodging conviction, even though it has already been quashed.
Mr Trump told reporters before he left the White House for the G7 summit that he was "thinking about Muhammad Ali" and some others "very seriously".
Ali was convicted in 1967 after refusing to fight in the Vietnam War, but this was overturned in 1971.
Analysts say such a move would be a purely symbolic gesture.
"I'm thinking about Muhammad Ali. I'm thinking about that very seriously and some others," the president reportedly said.

Trump considering a pardon of deceased Muhammad Ali. There's just one major problem...
Ali's attorney, Ron Tweel, responded to the President's gesture in a statement Friday.this dude ...
"We appreciate President Trump's sentiment, but a pardon is unnecessary," the statement said. "The U.S. Supreme Court overturned the conviction of Muhammad Ali in a unanimous decision in 1971. There is no conviction from which a pardon is needed."
