Relax....it's not like he is going to ask for your approval anyway. U.S. Supreme Court justice nominations were politicized long before Trump became president.

Everything you say is just laced with CNN-level ignorance & idiocy. FYI Trump and the other pro-lifers don't have ulterior motives for stopping abortions. Trump isn't any more in favour of black abortions than white. The mother of American abortions, Margaret Sanger on the other hand, actually was. Hillary Clinton famously said of Margaret Sanger: "I admire Margaret Sanger enormously. Her courage, her tenacity, her vision". FFWD to 1:45 to hear Hillary gush about Margaret Sanger: https://247sports.com/college/west-virginia/Board/103782/Contents/Hillary-Clinton-admires-eugenist-Margaret-Sanger-71651706/ If you don't know who Margaret Sanger is, here's a description of her from a leftist source: https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2020/07/23/racism-eugenics-margaret-sanger-deserves-no-honors-column/5480192002/ Sanger's own words, from the article above: This is literally the worst and most disgusting form of racism ever. That bitch wanted to kill black babies before they were even born, just because of her own racism, and somehow it's her 'vision' that Hillary admires. WTF? You really need a cite for this type of idiotic bullshit Argus. Once again, you're like Bill Buckner bragging about WS G7 lol.

And where is it going to end? I've considered this for some time as I watch the increasing levels of invective and distrust among American politicians and media. I'm quite certain that regardless of who wins the election there's going to be a major increase in political violence. Both sides, and I'm not talking about the nobodies, but the political leaders, are saying the others are cheating. There seems to be a shrinking any ability to work together. And no, it's not all Trump, not be a long shot. I've seen no American political figure in the news that impresses me as anything but an ignorant, self-serving political whore. But I think Douglas Murray, one of my favorite writers and authors, put it quite concisely in his column today. Is America splitting apart? Just a few years ago it would have seemed an absurd idea. Today the signs from the outside do not look good.A people with no shared narrative or history will find it very hard to keep a lid on disorder and violence In Murray's belief, that shared narrative is fading. The left increasingly sees Americans founding, history and traditions as nothing but an example of shameful brutality and wants to tear up its own history, tear down the statues of their own founders, and completely change America. The other side is still proud of America's history, accomplishments and traditions. It is becoming harder to communicate across the gulf, as, increasingly, the two Americas cannot consort or discuss with each other. And if there is one reason above all why that should be the case it is because they no longer have a shared story. A portion of the American people still revere their history, the Founding Fathers, the constitution, flag, anthem and much more. They see it as symbols of a glorious past, a country which has fought for its own and others’ liberty, and the once-admired idea of American exceptionalism. Another portion believe that America is exceptional only in being exceptionally bad. Rather than thinking well of their country or their forebears they see the whole American experiment as unusually unfair and uncommonly unequal. Nor is it unusual for a population to be ignorant about large chunks of its own history. What is unusual, and odd and unhealthy, is for a large portion of a country to only have one set of ideas about their country’s past, and for all of those ideas to be negative. Between these two positions, it is exceptionally hard to see how any consensus can be achieved. People like to pretend that if their candidate wins the election in November, the divisions in American society will stop. But they will not, because the divide now lies at the most fundamental, tectonic levels of the republic, about who the country is. Historically speaking, such a divide will inevitably escalate into increasing violence and even civil war, unless stopped by some great unifying force that goes beyond party politics or identity. But there is no sign of such a thing on the horizon. https://unherd.com/2020/09/can-america-hold-apart/

The superpower-status is the only glue which keeps America together. Without it its entirely different parts would start pulling into different directions. Now it just seems that even the superpower-status isn't helping any longer.

A few Canadians do hate Americans, mostly pseudo-intellectual third year Arts students, too under=educated to appreciate that Americans are the greatest super-power in history. By greatest, I mean the most generous. Most of the things that the whiney minority of anti-American Canadians blame Americans for are things Canadians are "guilty" of. Some Canadian tourists use the Canadian flag to get better service in Europe, to emphasize we are not Americans. It gives us the illusion that we are "superior" to Americans. A year ago, I was in Washington State and I have never been treated so warmly. I don't know any Canadian who hates Americans. As for health care etc, it is the height of arrogance to think we have the right to tell another country whom they should vote for, or criticize their choice to have the right to bear arms, and so on. It is their country and we have no right to stick our oar in. We have come a long way from the days that the Conservative Party's campaign slogan was "No truck nor trade with the Americans." To our wonderful American guests on this forum, let me say thank you for your generosity and friendship, and your tolerance for the clowns who don't know how much you have done for the world.

President Trumps promises to nominate a female justice to replace RBG...but she won't be a progressive liberal ! "Elections have consequences" - President Barack Obama (2009)

Excellent point...to get an absentee (mail-in) ballot in my (Democrat controlled) state one has to provide a mailing address, social security number, driver's license number, and e-mail address. Waycist !

It’s sad to see somebody like Argus resort to playing the race card when he should know how utterly ridiculous that is. Wanting people to be who they say they are in order to vote isn’t racist, it’s logical and necessary. States offer free government issued ID to anyone without a driver’s license. But if requiring ID is racist. Then so is flying on a plane, renting a car, renting a hotel room, buying alcohol or cigarettes, etc, etc.

Canada is a great country to call home. Every Canadian should be proud of their country, even if it smacks of "American style...oh no!"...nationalism.

Hypocrisy on steroids!

Another day...another massive Trump rally.

That'll be okay, too! I'm assuming he'll carry on! I want someone with the same mindset as Trump!
