Peterborough mayor defends her use of the f-word in response to weekend protest
Diane Therrien explains why she sent out a profanity-filled tweet about a weekend protest

The mayor of a small Ontario city is getting a lot of attention today — not for ducking a tough question, but for answering one in some very direct terms.

Peterborough mayor Diane Therrien was called on to respond to a scene that unfolded in her city east of Toronto over the weekend.

A few dozen people had gathered outside the city's police station after a call from a QAnon conspiracy theorist who purports to be the "Queen of Canada" for citizen's arrests of local officers.

Therrien tweeted her reply. It read, "People have been asking me to comment on the events of the past weekend in #ptbo. I hate giving airtime/spotlight to these imbeciles. Here is my comment: f**k off, you f**kwads."

Rushdie to blame for Rushdie attack...

...at least when you ask Iran:

Iran says Salman Rushdie and supporters to blame for his attack

Foreign ministry spokesperson says Iran has no further information about author’s alleged attacker

Although heavily wounded, with probable long-term issues, he survived

I hope it's David Dennison or John Barron, and Donald doesn't know his psyche is fully dissociative.

Do we know if the folks working at Mar a Lago were chanting "Lock Him Up" when the FBI appeared?

Prophetic

[Uncle Sparky]

I hope its Julian Assange.

[Dauphin]

A lot of people are saying Jared or Melania, or somesuch, is the confidential informant. My outside bet is on it being Putin for ****s and giggles.

[Dauphin]

So the FBI planted the documents, but it's OK because Trump declassified them before he left office.

[Uncle Sparky]

Trump has now claimed he could not have taked classified or top secret documents, because, as president, he could declassify whatever he wanted.

This may actually be valid... the Supreme Court of Trump may need to rule.

Apparently in bob woodwards book trumpy told him that the us has a new weapons system that no one knows about...so its probably documents about that...

And maybe the keys for the gates of Area 51

So, did Trump not return the nuclear launch codes? Is that what was in his bigliest safe?

I think he also took nukes with him from the WH's strategic defence reserve

Fortunately the FBI came when he wasn't there
