And another day of a man-child pretending to play leader while screwing over allies and the people he supposedly governs, as well as said man-child letting his loyalist know that he has plenty get-out-of-jail-free cards at the ready comes to an agonizing close:

"We have to believe that at some point, common sense will prevail. But we see no sign of that in this action today by the US administration," Canadian PM Trudeau says after new US tariffs. We’re trying, Mr. Trudeau. We’re trying to right this sinking ship.

U.S. hits E.U., Canada and Mexico with steel, aluminum tariffs, sparking trade war. Because that’s what decent people do, they fuck over their allies...oh, and when you’re somehow the leader of a country and you do this, then you fuck over the citizens of said country as well.

Congressional Republicans lining up against Trump on trade.

Trump reportedly said he wants to stop German luxury car imports in the US.

Trump has reportedly made multiple attempts to persuade Attorney General Jeff Sessions to retake command of the Russia investigation. The actions of a desperate, guilty man.

Trump on Thursday pardoned a conservative commentator Dinesh D’Souza and said he was considering pardoning lifestyle maven Martha Stewart and commuting a former Illinois governor’s prison sentence, prompting critics to accuse him of subverting the rule of law. Remember, nothing happens by accident when it comes to politics. He’s setting shit up regarding the Mueller investigation.

Former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich got a new lifeline when President Donald Trump said he would consider pardoning or commuting his sentence on his federal corruption conviction. Ah, connections to a stupid “reality” tv show.

No, Samantha Bee's vulgarity isn't equivalent to Roseanne Barr's racism. Because being foul-mouthed is not the same as a white person calling a black person an ape, or a Jewish Holocaust survivor a Nazi.

US government wanted to keep them secret forever but Guantanamo detainee Abu Zubaydah's drawings of his CIA torture have just been ordered released.

Planned Parenthood cancels abortions in Arkansas after restrictive law is reinstated. There’s suddenly a rush on wire hangers.

Denmark has banned the wearing of face veils in public, joining parts of Europe in outlawing the burqa and the niqab worn by some Muslim women.

Researchers just made a disturbing discovery about your child's risk of schizophrenia.

It's true: Teens are ditching Facebook.

Life’s short. Live, love, create, and help others.

Until next time, my friends. Good night.
