Bob hopes to make lots of money...'nuff said.

Anyways...the attraction of Trump to those who do not share is that he prevented America from crowning its first hereditary queen. She was next in line for the throne, I realize...but that's not how the game is supposed to be played. Trump will go in his due time. I suggest yoga if you have issues.

Meh. Does this anonymous so-called senior admin official exists - or, is that so-called anonymous letter a fabrication - and the writer will eternally remain anonymous? The loony left have been exhibiting such derangements over Trump - anything is now possible.

Massive immigration is a farce. Canada cannot support all the immigrants that are coming to Canada. There is not enough work for them all. Someone should ask the unemployed Canadians out there that are looking for jobs that are being taken away from them if they are in support of massive immigration with all of this overboard immigration to Canada going on. Massive immigration is the main reason as to why wages are so low. Canadians should demand a moratorium on immigration for at least a decade. Canada will still survive. We did it back in the 60's with a low population and survived back then. All more immigration does is the government having to create more infrastructure and more health care services which is in big trouble today. We never saw decades ago where Canadians had to sleep in hospital hallways like we are seeing today. Now it's normal. No one can tell me that this has nothing to do with all of this massive especially massive third world immigration that is going on in Canada. Only a fool would argue that massive immigration is good and great for Canada. It's great for immigration lawyers and special minority immigration groups who appear to have an interest in more massive third world immigration. My opinion.

Bob Woodward?? C'mon... He sees dollar signs.

Exactly. Those loony leftist liberal losers are fighting to keep their swampster lives alive and well. Woodward cannot or will not show as to who those anonymous sources are. Just more bull chit and lies, coming from another desperate swampster loser. Sadly for Trump he is surrounded by many of those lying losers. This story will go away in another couple of days like all the rest and another we got the president now story and no doubt be popping up very soon. Just wait and watch and see. They won't give it up. It's endless with these nut case swampsters.

...and then there is this....

To be honest, I believe the Whitehouse is "Crazytown". There's more being done in a week in the Whitehouse than usually gets done in a month, and it's all happening under the dark cloud of the Russian investigation and with 85% of the news media making up false stories about Trump day in and day out.

1.) So you're equating the f-word to racism? I guess that pretty much trivializes racist speech into oblivion. 2.) American culture is much more open to controversial speech and ideas than is Canadian culture. And the difference is more or less ingrained in the respective legal systems of the two countries. American First Amendment rights are sacrosanct which is why "hate speech" laws, for instance, are much more constricted in the U.S. and some states have no such laws at all. And the mere expression of ideas and opinions that might be construed as legitimately intolerant are far less likely to land one in legal jeopardy, such as in front of a human rights commission, south of the border than is the case here. 3.) If the Middle Ages is your starting point, I think you have much more reading to do before commenting on the motivations underlying behavior modification. Maybe you could start by reading Orwell's book, '1984'. Or perhaps you might read a book or two on the great dictators of the 20th century. 4.) I referenced M-103 as an example of a mentality by prefacing it with 'a la' to indicate 'in the style of' - a relatively commonplace rhetorical technique. M-103, of course, is not in and of itself a law but, rather, illustrates a mentality that seeks the legalized imposition of restrictions on opinion and speech and in fact emboldens the federal parliament to enact such restrictions. The best analysis of M-103's insidious impacts was a piece by Neil Macdonald that was published on the CBC's website, 'Liberals' anti-Islamophobia motion is a politically brilliant, sinister piece of work'. You might want to run a search and give it a gander. 5.) I'm not sure what you're trying to say to address my concern about whether we're undermining Westernism, which as you should know if you study history has evolved over the past few centuries largely as an oppositional response to imposed orthodoxy and hierarchy in the contexts of religion, governance, culture and economy. Our societies weren't "designed" for peace and prosperity as though we established institutions that were from the outset intended to achieve these qualities. In fact, these societies and the institutions they built emerged as consequences of centuries of messy and contentious conflict, including the Reformation and revolution-inspiring Enlightenment, where competing ideas themselves served as the fuel for change. We evolved into the world's most prosperous, open and dynamic societies without any clear plan or centrally imposed vision. If we take away the messiness, debate and conflict, there is no West. Philosophically, openness to opposition and conflict is fundamentally who were are as Westerners and why we are who we are. 6.) Why not compare us to the rest of the world if one insists on maintaining, as many progressives instinctively do, that Western societies, including our own, are deeply and hopelessly intolerant and racist, an allegation that's seldom supported by much other than anecdotal reference? At least an exercise in comparison might offer some perspective. And if objective comparisons don't suggest that we're particularly racist after all in contrast to other places then perhaps we might ponder the actual delineation between incidental intolerance and ingrained societal intolerance. As a friend of mine who is Chinese notes, Canada and North America aren't particularly racist compared to most other places to which he's traveled and in which he's lived. In China itself, he says, racism is seldom ever discussed and non-Chinese are generally and uncontroversially viewed and treated as outsiders.

Best-known means squat. The whole news media from NY Times to CNN & MSNBC is pure garbage and anyone who can't catch them lying is a complete moron or they're in denial. "Did Trump commit treason when he asked if Russia could find the 33,000 emails?" LMAO. Obviously it was a joke but they didn't like it so they literally tried to start up the conversation about whether or not it constituted "treason". That's not an adult level of conversation, let alone professional, or having a shred of integrity. "Jeff Sessions may have committed perjury when he said "I didn't have any conversations with Russian officials or agents about election meddling" because's there's new evidence that he talked to a Russian".... Ooooh so he talked to a Russian and that's means that he lied? No, we're supposed to assume that he talked about election meddling and that he committed perjury, because that's the level of integrity they in the "news" these days. They use the phrase "Trump's policy of separating children from their families" on CBC, CNN, CTV MSNBC like it's the truth or something. It's no more accurate than saying "Trump's policy of holding an election every 4 years" is it? Can Hannity now give credit to Trump for the fact that the US is holding democratic elections? That's accurate by CNN standards. It literally drives me insane when I turn on the news and I see that crap. CBC and CTV made "Maybe the PM personally paid back Canadians for Duffy's $90K worth of questionable expenses" seem like the crime of the century for THREE FULL YEARS. The current PM has been caught accepting foreign gifts, some of the Liberal MP's claimed over $100K per person for moving expenses, and Trudeau has misspent billions of dollars & he'll end up $10's of billions over budget but Liberal corruption is treated like a frivolous topic. It's not actually even a topic. It makes me think back to when I was a kid and I was just casual about watching the news, how stupid I was to just allow that BS straight into my head without the internal rejection filter set to "most likely bullshit". Russian collusion, lmao. Hillary actually used a law firm to knowingly/intentionally funnel money to foreigners for the purpose of election interference. Obama was caught on a hot mic telling Dmitri Medvedev to "Tell Vladimir (presumably Putin) that I'll have more flexibility after the election". And they think it's a crime if Trump's son allowed a Russian to give him dirt on Hillary? Since when was it a crime to allow someone to tell you that they have evidence of a crime? It's not. At all. If someone offers to give you information about a crime it's never illegal to listen. Hannity's topics have all proven true so far, and at the start they seemed a bit far-fetched. Bias and corruption at the highest levels of the FBI...? Crazy right? Time for the tinfoil hats everybody! Guess what? Several top members of the FBI have been fired and there's more to come. Hannity is reporting actual, pertinent news about serious corruption at the highest levels of the FBI and "that woodward guy" and CNN think it's a complete non-story. Yeah," that Woodward guy" is a useless tool.

THIS WOODWARD GUY ! One of the defining and possibly best-known journalists of the 20th century... guy.... Well, he's no Hannity...

Again...so what ? Trump was elected president after displaying and even celebrating such attributes in American media, far wider in scope that another author pushing his latest "insider" book. Month after month, the Trump haters pin their hopes on the latest "revelations", only to cry in their beer again. Impeachment will happen any day now, right ?

...and yet, President Trump's "incompetence" has not resulted in the shooting wars, market crashes, hyperinflation, energy crisis, Cold War, assassinations, invasions, etc. that are associated with more "competent" American presidents and foreign leaders. Be careful what you wish for. Donald Trump is just another American president with successes and failures...there will be others.

No big deal...and very, very presidential. Here is FDR and Stalin....

It can last through a complete first term, including another campaign for a second term, wherein Trump will go to new levels of disruption, insult, conflict, turmoil, and shocking behaviour given his success the first time around. No American president has ever been removed from office for being erratic and combative. Trump's desperate critics will have to pray that he actually does shoot somebody in broad daylight on Fifth Avenue.
