With all of the CRAP going on in OUR government, how is it "breaking news" when Canada's Trudeau

makes ANOTHER public apology for appearing in brownface a couple decades ago?

And, yes, vaping is not a good habit and is implicated in half a dozen deaths, but it pales in comparison to school shootings as a cause of death for young people. Isn't the fact that Trump has "promised" to do something about it the main reason it has lasted several news cycles?

Here's some "Breaking News" for those who are supposed to break the news to us: our democracy is facing the gravest threat it has encountered in my 70 years. Trump is dismantling our government at the behest of foreign adversaries and for his own gain. THAT is what you should be investigating and reporting 24/7. This IS an existential crisis.

Which are rendered quaint in comparison to our messes.

Yes, I'm very disappointed in Trudeau and hope that any atonement on his part is genuine as opposed to politically expedient.

And that's about all I have to say about that.
