Hot on the heels of "The most stereotypical Canadian thing ever," we have this absolute gem. 🇨🇦
The GOP continues to be a disaster for the country. Let's see what Republicans like Trump, Vance, Musk, and more are doing.
Hegseth put Signal on Pentagon computers. To be fair, he may have been too drunk to remember. https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2025/04/23/hegseth-signal-pentagon-computer/
Plastered Pete's chief of staff just left. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/04/24/hegseth-chief-of-staff-pentagon-leaving-00308721
Hegseth was also screaming at a Joint Chiefs Chairman. Yeah he probably was drunk too. https://www.mediaite.com/politics/ill-hook-you-up-to-a-fg-polygraph-hegseth-reportedly-erupted-at-joint-chiefs-chairman-he-suspected-of-leaking-to-press/
Likely high on something else, Musk had a meltdown in the oval office. https://www.thedailybeast.com/new-details-emerge-in-wwe-style-blow-up-between-musk-and-bessent/
Trump doesn't want to tax the ultra-rich. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-23/trump-says-millionaire-tax-would-push-wealthy-to-leave-the-us?srnd=homepage-americas&sref=vuYGislZ
Bloomberg notes Trump's been the chump on China.. https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2025-04-24/trump-tariff-war-won-t-bring-us-allies-on-board-against-china
Sensing weakness, China makes demands - cancel all unilateral tarrifs first. https://www.ft.com/content/3e076fb5-3988-4e21-9119-3fc637afebb8
If disease-obsessed Republican RFK gets his way, we'll face millions of measels cases over the next decade. https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/04/24/measles-cases-deaths-vaccine-rates-rfk-jr/
