... The city of 85,000 across the border from Port Huron, Michigan is an energy hub with 26 transnational oil and gas pipelines. Residents of both cities for more than a century helped each other out, for example, if a fire broke out. They jointly held hockey tournaments, the last one just two weeks ago. Their economies are very integrated and personal bonds run deep, Sarnia mayor Mike Bradley told AFP. "But it all seems to be coming to an end. And it does not appear that we're going to be able to resurrect that relationship in the future," he said. ...

Do try to stay current with the actions of the President.
Or, do you want me to start asking about fmr Pres GW Bush?
All that aside, the apparent, and failed, deflection attempt of your current alias speaks volumes about the weakness of the position it holds on the current actions of Pres Trump.

Double standards and all that.
I've outlined what I think is the root cause and it's been building for decades. Overturning Chevron' was a great start toward moving the government back toward the people.

None of the above happened. Especially "crapping on Israel".

#8 Probably best thought of as a tic in Jeff's case, with prevarication being the default setting. (Which includes incessantly hilarious adolescent goalpost shifting.)

Unfortunately reading a map is too advanced for DumbWaiter.
Playing the US National Anthem at the Raptor's/Clippers game didn't go over well in Toronto. I applaud the Clippers wearing "Black History" t-shirts, though. We all have to shove Trump and his "proud boys" back into the closet. I wish we could eliminate their toxicity completely.

That's our Jeff. Deflecting attention away from his dear leader Trump. Can't hold Trump responsible for ANYTHING. It's par for the course for him.
