...those who foolishly sought power by riding the back of the tiger ended up inside.

She first got elected in 2018. How many senators got there within three election cycles of their first office? Just because Obama went from Illinois State Senate to US Senate to President in a four year span doesn't make such a climb normal.

When a group of his AI company's investors sue to block the AI company's purchase of Twitter (because in what world did they agree to that?), the Saudi solution goes back on the table.

He's surrounded by a bunch of people who play HoI for the wrong reasons.

Because the world wants to know how hard Polievre fucked himself by hitching his wagon to the trump train.

Also, with an election called in Canada, it probably doesn't cost much to tack a question about current events onto a poll you were already going to conduct.

'After [current guy], our turn', while a nice sentiment to avoid giving up entirely, does not have enough historical evidence to support it as a strategy.

But we've made every payment on that debt since we started borrowing. If lenders can't count on those debt payments, they lose some faith in the currency that undergirds the world economy.

This is quite bad, regardless of where you live.

Future borrowing, both public and private, becomes more expensive (higher risk demands higher returns). This is bad if you live in the US.

People involved in international trade start questioning if the USD is really what they want as the reserve currency (the Dollar is the go between for all other currencies, so if you're in Europe trading with Japan, you exchange euros for dollars for yen, which while a bit cumbersome, is wonderfully predictable) and what they might want to use instead (euros? renminbi? rubles? The chaotic world of direct exchanges of currencies?). This is bad if the country you live in imports goods that you need or exports goods that other people need.

Then, to borrow a phrase popularized by one of the names they're probably highlighting with a Sharpie, lock them up.

If missing $400 million would have them shut down, what's that $14 billion endowment for? Show? It accrued 11.5% last year. That's three times what Trump was threatening to not give them

I'm pretty sure everybody on these websites knows they're more similar to enlisted soldiers than to Vladimir Putin.

It's about the same number of incidents (plane crashes, death agnostic), it's just that a week into the new admin, one of them had the most deaths since the autopilot that aims for the ground crashed those planes in 2019.

But since the other side is willing to just outright lie, it's not exactly a high crime not to highlight that technically it's the same number of crashes.

The optics the recently indicted (and later hastily pardoned) mayor being one of the guys perp walking the sympathetic suspect probably didn't help them either.
