In Mother Russia, you do not barricade the bridge, the bridge barricades you.

The bridge is and isn't barricaded.  ;-)

The GDR was a Soviet puppet state.  Try again on who is being compared to the Soviet Union.

I was too busy noticing who hasn't allowed this bridge to open and who was way off on their prediction on when it would.  I find the memes which have resulted from that prediction to often be tripling my relaxation.

The reporting shows the delay came from U.S. Department of Commerce, not Trump personally. And the bridge was ready on the timeline I predicted -- the hold was political, not technical.

All I'm familiar with is what is going on in Alberta and I'm really not that familiar with it. What is actually going on there because it seems like they voted to set another vote to be independent. Am I understanding that right? I should start a thread on that. How is that gonna work exactly they are a landlocked country.

Unless you want my opinions on Québec separatism dominating that thread in the same way Beltway's opinions dominate every single thread, no you don't want to start a thread.

I am not in favor of any U.S. annexation of Canadian provinces.  They are their own country and surely they want to keep it that way.

Actually, Québec has wanted to be its own country for over 50 years now. And I'd argue they would've been in 1995 had the government of Canada not rigged the vote.

Quote from: The Ghostbuster on June 14, 2026, 10:24:55 PMOpen the damn bridge now! No one should have the right to delay its opening (especially anyone in the White House)!

When Texas had a bridge closed in the 30s and the governor of Oklahoma didn't like it, he showed up on site with a revolver. Miraculously the bridge was opened.

Just sayin'.

I really hope that he said something along the lines of this bridge is not big enough for the two of us.
