@yuhasz01 @Free_Press Vanity. When you have a turkey neck, leaning forward takes some of the emphasis off of it. It's a Senior Citizen trick.

Stuck for over a year in a defunct American military base on the edge of Doha, 1,100 former Afghan allies of the U.S. and their families have escaped Afghanistan only to find themselves trapped in uncertainty. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/04/27/world/politics/us-afghan-allies-qatar/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #afghanistan #taliban #us #immigration #qatar

Regarding the attempted shooting at the Correspondents Dinner, I think this quote best expresses my feelings:“It's a very terrible thing that happened. And it's just terrible to see that happening. It's just terrible. So surprising to see it here. But, we have to get over it. We have to move forward. We have to move forward"So sad, but apparently that’s just the way life is, Mr President. You said it yourself. Just get over it. #USPol #Politics #GunViolence #Trump

I agree with my colleague NDP MP Don Davies and don’t buy these excusesThe local MPs Zoe Royer and Ron McKinnon, are over seven months late and have not complied as of today.MPs are required by law to provide their conflict of interest ethics disclosure 60 days after the final election results are published. That was 7 months ago. #fediverse #canpoli #cdnpoli #politics #fyp

It’s a disgrace that the mayor #minneapolis #minnesota was at the dinner last night. He should be removed from office. #news #Politics

@f800gecko My only disagreement with your original statement is that it's basically pro MAGA propaganda that makes it seem like Israeli defense isn't predominantly a right wing issue now.
