In a healthy country, these should disqualify him from the presidency, produce a mass popular revolt, and generate articles of impeachment. But Trump’s ability to influence supporters in America’s propaganda-soaked media environment is peerless, and his supporters are heavily protected against reality in one way or another. So his approval rating has been relatively stable, and the country’s been in shock. Crashing the economy with penguins and F-minus math tariffs is a different fish.
Alex Ovechkin breaks Wayne Gretzky’s unbreakable record, but his greatness is only part of the story

Alexander Ovechkin was already unforgettable. He has been one of the most electric hockey players in history over his last 20 seasons: the goal-scoring god, the fearless freight train, the king of the Russians. Breaking Wayne Gretzky’s all-time goals record of 894 is one of the most remarkable feats in the modern game, but Ovechkin was already a legend. Breaking the record just carves Ovechkin’s name in the rarest stone. So of course the NHL tried to make it special.

You ever tried to reason with a dog? It’s not easy. You can explain that the dog is doing the wrong thing; you can show the dog charts and graphs. Odds are, the dog will just keep on being a dumb ol’ dog. In related news, on Wednesday Donald Trump tried to crash the global economy with tariffs. It is hard to grasp just how historically, world-alteringly stupid this is.

Maybe you could spin the new Rogers TV deal as a patriotic act. Many Canadians consider the right to watch their favourite NHL team to be a sort of inalienable right and, in buying up the whole package for another 12 years, Rogers made sure those rights stayed in Canadian hands. Sure, a fair number of people in this country rage against Rogers, and for that matter Bell. But at least they’re our infuriating semi-monopolies.

Is this a joke
Has America lost its moral compass? We ask Trump’s pastor https://t.co/T4Jy9kIHeh
Parties can rot from the base, and Canadian politics often do American politics karaoke, and US conservatism is firmly post-reality and post-democracy, and radicalism moves in one direction. The idea that Elections Canada and the polls can't be trusted it definitely coming fast.
This is dangerous, dangerous stuff. And if you're trying to avoid comparisons to Trump? Incredibly, almost impossibly stupid.
