Trey Gowdy is implicated in the Russia scandal. Wonder how long he'll last? He's god-awful.

Just in case any of you hadn't noticed.

The debt ceiling

This is how a leader should react.

Ottawa, Ontario
June 4, 2017
The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, today issued the following statement after last night’s terrorist attack in the United Kingdom:

“Canada strongly condemns the senseless attack that took place last night in London, United Kingdom, which killed and injured many innocent people. I am heartbroken that a Canadian is among those killed.

“We grieve with the families and friends of those who have lost loved ones, and wish all those injured a speedy and full recovery.

"Londoners and people across the United Kingdom have always displayed strength and resilience in the face of adversity. We recently witnessed this after the attacks in Manchester and in the Westminster area of London. This time will be no different.

“These hateful acts do not deter us; they only strengthen our resolve. Canadians stand united with the British people. We will continue to work together with the United Kingdom and all our allies to fight terrorism and bring perpetrators to justice.

“The Government of Canada will not comment further at this time out of respect for the family.”

Yes.

Trump is manifestly unfit for his role. What's it going to take for the GOP to do something?

And a related piece - from last week.

Legislative agenda

Democracy going well

Rep. Steve King’s challenger drops out of the 2018 race, citing death threats
Weaver says her “personal safety has increasingly become a concern.”

I'm disappointed but I can't blame her. It's a very real issue.

Roussette · 04/06/2017 19:24

Yes, it becomes more obvious every day that Trump does not have the energy, intelligence, diplomatic skills and knowledge to handle this position, he is getting more and more out of his depth as time goes on.

Loved this pic...

MSNBC anchor: Is Trump "trying to provoke a domestic terrorist attack"? hill.cm/1huHzH4

Yes, I think he is.

Orlantina · 04/06/2017 19:31

I hate to imagine the reaction if / when a domestic terrorist attack takes place in the USA. I fear it's only a matter of time.

Roussette · 04/06/2017 19:39

I think he is provoking this to happen too.

He would put the whole of the US into lockdown, stop all air travel... then try and squeeze through his muslim ban

Orlantina · 04/06/2017 19:40

But if it was a mass shooting by a far right terrorist, I bet he would do nothing.

BiglyBadgers · 04/06/2017 20:04

Of course not orlantina. He would have to ban white men from the US and we all know how much he hates to leave the country Hmm

.@jonkarl: Some discussion at White House of possible London trip later in week to show solidarity after attacks

Some discussion at White House of possible London trip later in week to show solidarity after attacks

No. Just no! Trump os the last person we want here. Talk about misjudging the mood. When I half-joked last night that someone should wrestle his phone off him before he started tweeting, I had no idea he'd go that low. His tweets are crass and offensive in the extreme, and divisive to boot. Not someone we want here.

OhYouBadBadKitten · 04/06/2017 20:17

I'm already working out how I can rearrange clients if he does come later this week so I can protest. But surely he can't? not with the election.

annandale · 04/06/2017 20:20

Oh God. Remember those cards in the 80s 'in the event of my being involved in a disaster I do not wish to be visited by Mrs Thatcher'?

Can we have a new version for the whole UK?
