Meanwhile, Trump has now made Canadians hate Wayne Gretzky.
I’m sure both of them will frown very convincingly each time they vote to confirm the nominee.
If Wayne Gretzky (hey Don, what two teams did he play for? What was his number?) comes out in favour of Canada joining the USA, I can only conclude that Trump and Putin have combined Novichuck and LSD into a mind-control drug.
Can Dave Semenko (Gretzky’s enforcer / bodyguard) please knock DJT to the ice? The five minute major will be worth it.
Is David Beckham going to state his support for the annexation/purchase of Greenland next?
Drat, missed the window. Didn’t know/recall #99 also played for the St. Louis Blues and the despised NY Rangers (Islander fan, knock me to the ice)
ETA: Argh.
In 2024, Wayne and his family attended the victory party for Donald Trump during the 2024 United States presidential election.[274] Trump subsequently suggested Wayne Gretzky should be prime minister of Canada.[275]
Good freaking god!
If I had “foreign-seeming” small children and lived in the U.S. I would be considering leaving, their citizenship or lack of it notwithstanding.
The thought of a child of mine at the tender mercies of racist knuckleheads with a quota of deportations to meet just chills me to the bone.
This cartoon makes a comparison I’ve made on this Board:
Yebbut, little kids are easier to round up.
Wouldn’t Peter Schmeichel be a better example?
Smaller targets though. They haven’t thought this through.
Not sure if that ^ is sarcasm or not…
Door Gunner ICE Agent: Easy! Ya just don’t lead 'em so much! Ain’t war ethnic cleansing hell?
Who do you think was behind all those, “Could you beat 50 5-year-olds in a fight?” questions a few years ago.
This goes deeper than you’d ever imagine. Follow the memes. #DeepTrout
If he went to Trump’s victory party I suppose he would be. I’d think any Dane not known as a Trumper taking a stance that Denmark should sell or give Greenland to Trump would not be popular.
I didn’t recognise the name at first, and thought you were talking about the Matt Damon role in the Stella Artois commercial during the Super Bowl, where he plays David Beckham’s twin brother, yet he is “Dave Beckham”.
I was just going for the ‘sporting hero in Denmark’ angle. Beckham didn’t go to Trump’s party did he, surely not (I assume Gretsky did).
Peak GenX middle child. I would never use sarcasm.
older fart here. I was being sarcastic about my own post.
Stupid Poe.
He’s proven it’s no act.
Yes, unfortunately Gretzky did. ISTR he and his wife were W Bush backers but probably backed Trump in 2016 as well. However, I’d venture to guess if he ran as an MP on a “Let’s join the USA as a non-voting territory” platform he’d be booted out of any hockey halls of fame and booed at any events.
If Musk throws enough money at Denmark’s far right as he just did in Germany, and somehow got Peter Schmeichel to cash in his fame for a “Let’s sell Greenland to America” platform, I’d expect he’d get similar treatment. Same if Beckham joined the Reform UK party and backed Nigel Farage.
5 out of 8 SSA regional commissioners resign.
I assume similar departures are occurring across the board. I just read the 2/26 OPM Memo (not sure if it is available publicly) instructing Agency Heads to prepare for “large scale RIFs” and reorganization. It invites proposals to rewrite regulations, renegotiate CBAs…
We ain’t seen nothing yet!
