People expect their leaders to be there when there are big natural disasters. Remember 4 years ago when there was a horrendous winter storm in Texas? Ted Cruz got substantial criticism (even by Republicans) for flying off to Cancun while the rest of Texas was suffering.
While is the operative word here. If Bass had flown out of LA the day after the fires started I’d say she has her priorities backwards. But she was already overseas, the fires started Tuesday, she was back home Wednesday.
Personally I have no issues with that timeline and I’m someone who has very little political opinion about Bass one way or another.
Not comparable.
Or – it need be said – Bass ackward.
Besides, her President asked her to be a part of this delegation, so – as always – It’s Biden’s FaultTM.
What a childish sour grapes fucking dunderhead.
yeah SO THERE
Land. Canada has lots of land. ShitGibbon knows all about real estate.
I’m sure the Northwest Territories still has some beachfront property available for cheap.
It’s there no way any fines could be levied? Or is it a case that no legislation supports fines in lieu of incarceration? I could see why that might be a good thing.
They may not be able to touch Asshole-In-Chief, but they can arrest any of his buddies that have felony convictions for hanging around other felons. No more Mar-A-Lardo weekends for the hangers-on.
What about maple syrup? I imagine it’s a breakfast staple for a lot of his voters. And doesn’t Canada produce like 85% of the world’s supply?
Aunt Jemina or Mrs Butterworth. I confess that I’m not sure if I’ve ever had actual maple syrup, and I’m pretty damn old.
Didn’t Aunt Jemima brands go woke and change their name?
I guess “table syrup” is the imitation product of true maple syrup. Settling for imitation seems about right for Trump. (I recall stories of Trump giving “Harry Winston diamond” cufflinks as gifts that, when appraised, were cheap cubic zirconia.)
Color me skeptical.
Oh. Wait. No. Not at all:
Yup. It’s now “Pearl Milling Company.”
I’ve had both. I like both, but they are different.
Table syrup is thicker, goopier. Also, the flavor is slightly different. Plus, the table syrup flavor hangs in the mouth a bit longer.
If you really like table syrup, you may or may not care for maple syrup. It’s about what you’re used to.
But I know one Canadian US resident who brings real maple syrup when going to IHOP or the like.
Replying to my own post: Dick Cheney wasn’t either.
I prefer it and bring my own when I’m dining out and getting waffles or pancakes for breakfast. Having said that, a lot of people don’t like it better than the standard ‘table syrup’ offered. It’s thinner and a lot more maple-flavored than they’re used to.
It reminds me of when Ren and Stimpy became members of the Royal Canadian Kilted Yaksmen.
At one point they recalled that Canada’s greatest natural resource was “dirt”. And they decided to strike it rich and dig for dirt, and struck a dirt “geyser”.
All that foolishness hinted at the truth that Canada does in fact have a crap ton of land. How valuable it is, that’s another story, but there’s no question that there is a lot of it.
Trump should be billed for this shit… That’s how he pissed me off today.
The security plan includes drones, various security checkpoints, more than 25,000 military and law enforcement officers from across the country, and over 30 miles of anti-scaling fences and barriers.

Hey! Look on the bright side! Trump can claim a crowd of “more than 25,000” people attended his inauguration.
Bigger than Obama! More bigly than whashisname!
