The UN became obsolete when they elected Muammar Gaddafi's Libya as President - President no less - of the UN Human Rights Commission and that was way back in 2003.

Many people on the left seem to focus way too much on personality and not actions. No doubt about it, Trump's personality does rub a lot of people the wrong way while others see his style as refreshing. Trump Derangement Syndrome is a real thing with left wingers but I would guess that most Trump haters know little about his actions in the White House or his past accomplishments. Before entering politics , I don't recall ever hearing about him being called a racist , that only happened when he ran as a Republican and won. Anyone that only watches CNN ,MSNBC or the like will likely have a very unfavorable opinion of Trump. Let's not forget that the mainstream media is overwhelmingly left-leaning and they have little interest in fairness. So many false assumptions by such low information voters.

They can never be proud of America, because to do so would undermine their entire base and platform of permanent victimhood.

Obstruction of justice is a crime. And I’m pretty sure all that self-dealing directing taxpayer money to his businesses is criminal

Being the forum noob, I was trying to be polite ?

Quite to the contrary, engage as one pleases...or not. Those who wish to silence others are the worst of all.

By the time covid is gone, the enduring legacy of it will be: 1) Massive carnage among small to medium businesses, while mega-corporations like Home Depot, FB and Amazon experience growth 2) Twice as many deaths as a regular flu season, but almost exclusively in the very elderly demographic. People of middle age or lower will have very few deaths, and there will be less than 1% of the deaths of a regular flu season among children. (Less people will die of covid in the US this year than die of medical mistakes every single year, and at the height of the covid 'pandemic' in BC, more people died of fentanyl than covid. Yet covid dominates 70% of our newscasts as if it's the biggest killer ever, and everywhere we go we are indoctrinated in the fear of covid) 3) The government has effectively used the MSM as a fear-mongering tool to exert a huge amount of control over us, possibly even forcing vaccinations on every single one of us, even though nothing that they have said and done during the Covid scare has made any sense. Remember that liberal politicians on both sides of the border did everything possible to kill people via covid at the outset - now they all act like they're the champions of the cause. They did things like oppose travel bans, encourage large gatherings in Feb and March, encourage rioting & looting (large groups of people in close proximity exerting themselves and looting buildings), told people NOT to wear masks, put infected people into care homes... (Honestly, lib sycos need to look over that list and try to find a single example of me not being 100% correct - and what I'm saying is = "Libs/Dems intentionally killed tens of thousands of people"). There's no room left for stupidity as an excuse, the overall pattern is too overwhelming. When you look at #s 1 & 3, you can see how covid has been a blessing to a small few elite companies, and how they could easily see the value of promoting C19 hysteria. FB and other social media, busier and more profitable than ever during covid, are all notorious for shutting down all talk of HCQ, and are pro-vaccination. Social media and the MSM are acting as the book-burners and brownshirts of the covid fascism. The government has even allied themselves with agents of social chaos/terrorism in Antifa and BLM. And at the end of the day, when you look at all the things that are wrong with fascism/communism/socialism, compare the actions of the liberal NA gov'ts with the rise of Hitler, Stalin, etc (dither about the differences between fascists and communists all you want, a lot of the evil things they did were achieved the same way) and you see a lot of similarities: The government is killing the entrepreneurial spirit of the country (more gently than true communists) and narrowing down the economy to fewer companies which all promote their screed, stripping away individual rights and freedoms, exercising extreme control over the main societal narratives through their modern-day brownshirts (FB, Antifa, BLM, state-controlled media, etc), pushing false narratives to divide the people, diminishing the power of legitimate policing, increased dependance on the gov't by citizens, etc. The attack on police, by malcontent losers and the liberal government, is outright disgusting. The complete frenzy that liberals go into when you say HCQ is very telling. They don't want a cheap, off-patent drug to protect us from the monster that is covid, which could eventually kill 0.05% of us if we're not careful. We will have our freedoms severely limited if we don't take their precious vaccine - no flights, can't visit or work in certain places, etc.

OK, so you completely edited your post after I responded to it, kudos for realizing how pitiful it was. Sadly, this is just another shallow, empty accusation where you failed to have good reason to disagree with what I said. FYI Barack Obama FULLY supported protests against the police, he FULLY supported anthem-kneeling, and even during the worst periods of violence during his Presidency he never spoke out against rioting, looting, arson, violence and racial division. He never commented on the criminal nature of BLM or how they were selectively editing video to drum up hatred and fear of police. He even fanned the flames of racism with comments like: "I can't help but notice that Trayvon looks like me.... etc" Just in case you don't know how the English language works, let me explain to you the entire meaning of the above sentence. "If that was me when I was younger, and I was obeying the law and being respectful, I never could have survived a walk down that street because Zimmerman was a white-supremacist Mexican-American and he was looking for a black kid to kill, like a lot of other cops. Trayvon was black, and that's the only reason he was killed." The notion that Trayvon's skin colour was the only or the main reason for his death was completely farcical conjecture and Barack Obama's comment was entirely divisive and shameful. Period. Given the amount of thought that Obama puts into being clear and concise, there's no reason to believe that he wasn't actually trying to fear monger when he said that. Do you like stats camper? Did you know that BLM actually had a chance to patrol American streets for 3 weeks, thereby ensuring the safety of African-Americans in a 7-block area of Seattle, referred to as CHAZ? Yep. BLM police controlled 7 blocks of sovereign US soil for 3 weeks and they only killed one black child. Think for a second about the fact that there are about 30,000 times as many police officers working across America as there were Chazis, and in just 3 weeks they managed to kill a kid and then clear the crime scene of evidence. In order for the "regular, racist American cops" to keep pace with the Chazis, they'd have to kill 30,000 black kids every 3 weeks. Lets pretend that there are only 10,000 times as many "normal, racist cops" as Chazis. They'd still have to kill 10,000 black kids every 3 weeks to keep pace with the Chazis. That would be 170,000 black kids that they'd have to kill. And don't forget that they'd also be destroying all the evidence on those scenes as well, just to be on par with the Chazis. Quick Camper, what's the name of the 16 yr old black kid that was killed by the CHOP Gestapo? What was the name of his 14 year old friend who was critically injured? Can you find some video of Anderson Cooper saying those names? Or Don Lemon? Or anyone on CNN? Just find me one video where CNN showed their faces and named their names Camper. One video. Honestly, they were children, killed by police, and the evidence of what happened was removed from the crime scene. If cops in Tulsa or Podunk did that, you'd know their names little man. You'd still be seeing them every day. Toodle off now.

I have already provided a recent poll reference for Trump and Biden "support" levels in the U.S. military, which includes far more than just the "army". As a former member of the U.S. military, I can confidently say based on experience that political support varies by candidate and circumstances.

I didn't miss anything...U.S. military support varies depending on circumstances. Clinton defeated two WW2 combat veterans.

There was never any real evidence and no charges were brought for any of the many things Star investigated. They finally got Clinton for trying to cover up an affair. Boy! Imagine if Mueller (a lifelong Republican appointed by another lifelong Republican) had demanded an interview with Trump and started asking about his many affairs! How many charges would have come out of that!?

Sorry Michael, I cannot locate the article with the 85% figure. The following article will have to do: Gender-nonconforming and transgender students are four times more likely to report mental health issues compared to the rest of their peers, according to a new study that is the largest so far to focus on this population of college students. Researchers relied on data from the Healthy Minds Study, an annual online report on student mental health from college campuses across the country. The new study examined responses of more than 65,200 students from 71 American institutions who were enrolled in college between 2015 and 2017. Roughly 1,200 respondents said they had an alternate gender identity, meaning they do not identify with the gender that matches their birth sex. The researchers grouped these students -- about 2 percent of the study's sample, which included transgender students, gender-queer students and gender-nonconforming students and others -- into a category called “gender-minority students.” Almost 80 percent of these gender-minority students reported having at least one mental health issue compared to 45 percent of their cisgender peers -- students whose gender aligns with their assigned birth sex. source: https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2019/08/20/survey-finds-mental-health-issues-are-common-among-trans-college-students

Thanks to Democrats, police retirements up 87% in New York City.

Why a lifelong Republican is going to be voting for Biden. In 2016 I broke with the Republican party for the first time and supported the libertarian candidate. I vote in a solidly Democratic state, so I had the luxury of casting a protest vote against a system that made Americans choose between two members of the New York elite, the least popular presidential candidates in history, both of whom acted as though becoming president was their birthright rather than the highest privilege. But this time, I’m protesting by joining the other side. There is a candidate in this race who, while far from perfect, has a history of reaching across the aisle. He has based his campaign on reuniting the nation and, perhaps most importantly in this election cycle, has reminded us that it’s OK to apologise now and again. America does not have a monarchy. The President is our head of state and our moral compass. Trump has proven time and time again that he is unfit for these roles. I like to believe a Republican leader is waiting around the corner to restore the values and principles that once made the party great. Until then, I’m happy for the Oval Office to be filled by someone who has a different vision for America than I have, but who loves the country and what it stands for nonetheless. https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/why-this-lifelong-republican-has-to-vote-for-biden

Well the confirmation hearings for Amy Coney Barrett to become the next judge on the Supreme Court are over. Luckily the Babylon Bee was there to give us the scoop on what happened.

The Convair 880/990 was one of those jets...really nice on many levels, but missing the market-share race to the 707 and the DC-8. It used the same basic engines as the B-58 minus the afterburners making it faster than the rest. It more or less needed noise suppressors to operate at most airports. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convair_880 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convair_990_Coronado https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Electric_CJ805

By standing by instead of taking responsibility as they were duly elected to do. But that is about to be rectified, hopefully, as Federal District Court in Washington just upheld a lawsuit by more than 20 Seattle businesses and citizens who justly claim there lives and businesses were harmed during the protests. "More than 20 businesses and individuals sued the city on June 24, alleging they suffered severe economic losses and were forced to live in fear and among filth for weeks when protesters took over several blocks not far from City Hall, and city officials effectively ceded authority and control to the protesters." “Plaintiffs plausibly allege that the City’s actions — encouraging CHOP participants to wall off the area and agreeing to a “no response” zone within and near CHOP’s borders — foreseeably placed Plaintiffs in a worse position than they would have been in absent any City intervention whatsoever,” Judge Zilly wrote. “Their allegations are also sufficient to show that the City acted with deliberate indifference to that danger,” he wrote." https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/oct/16/seattle-chop-lawsuit-upheld-federal-judge/ I hope they win billions.

As usual, Canada approaches another foreign election in the United States with sphincters set to very high pucker factor because those damn Americans have so much influence...no lessons have been learned in Canada from elections past. Seems it is better to worry about the possible disruption of north-south trade with Trump or Biden rather than improve and remove barriers for more east-west trade between provinces. Maybe these Canadians hate each other more than they hate the volatility and dependence on trade with the world's largest economy. Whether it's Joe Biden or Donald Trump, America's choice will alter Alberta's future

Obama's DoD guy has an opinion "The shoot down was not the result of a baited ambush." I've heard other opinions. But I'm not sure that matters because as far as the credibility of Biden as leader goes this remains a fact: https://www.independentsentinel.com/flashback-joe-biden-revealed-navy-seal-team-six-killed-osama-bin-laden/

Charges have not been levied, and no wrong-doing has been proven in a court of law. Politics is different from criminal liability. The Democrats failed yet again. If Trump was in Canada, he could funnel money to his family members with impunity, just as Trudeau has done with the We scandal.

Trump wasn’t exonerated. The courts simply ruled that the members of Congress who brought the suit didn't have the legal right to bring the case because they do not constitute a majority in the House or Senate.

? Fascists have always been anti-socialist.

Another crackpot right wing conspiracy theory that doesn’t even make sene. But don’t take our word for it. Here is the official DOD report on the deaths of the SEALS, which found that the deadly helicopter attack was not a pre-planned revenge attack targeting those servicemembers. https://nsarchive2.gwu.edu/NSAEBB/NSAEBB370/docs/Document 12.pdf

So let me translate that. I'm saying presenting Trump as a Psychopath incapable of human empathy is merely what you'd like to believe. And your argument to that is "No. You are." Thanks then maturity level is indicated there.

The ME that Obama inherited wasn’t cozy but it had a trajectory, which wasn’t “straight to hell”. The fact that it went that way is all on him. The ME of 2015 2016 was a shit-show of biblical proportions. There was literally a massive country dedicated to religious bigotry, slavery and genocide. Thats what Trump inherited. Obama said that turning it around was a 5-yr process. He was dead wrong. After only 3 years there were suddenly diplomatic relations between Israel and two arab countries. The US was not a racially divided shithole in 2008. It was a racially divided shitshow in 2016. Period.

The Fourth Estate feels itself above all the others. This needs to be rectified.

Trump does that all the time. Do you think he's a dictator-in-waiting?

This crisis has really caused a rift at least here in Finland among nationalists. On one hand there are people who decry that the government isn't doing enough to combat the virus and there should be much stricter regulations, even curfews. On the other hand there are people who say that this crisis is the biggest bullshit ever invented and only created to justify more power to the government. This disagreement goes among people who otherwise agree on issues such as immigration that there is too much of it happening.

Well, the pushers and creators of this Convid 19 lie are at it once again. I knew that this Convid lie would start all over again this fall. We are once again being told by our dear comrade political leaders and the lying leftist lieberal media that this Convid 19 virus is back again and that we all must once again endure a winter of forced face diaper wearing masks, keep your distance, isolation, lock downs, and contract tracing. There is no pandemic going on here. How much more will it take for the fools out there to wake up and see as to what is going on here. I see more fools than ever these days wearing masks everywhere now. They just wake up in the morning and put their diaper on before they go out. It's becoming the new norm now. And there can be no doubt about it that once a vaccine comes out the lineups will begin. You know Canadians? Always ready and willing zombies to do as they are told to do. There can be no doubt about it that Canada is fast becoming a fascist or communist state. This Convid 19 farce is doing just that. Turning Canada into a communist slave state and it's citizen's as communist slaves. This has nothing to do with a virus at all but more to do with seeing how much most people will accept having their rights and freedoms to be taken away from them without a whimper by their so called dear leader politicians who are just loving all this power and glory and control that has been handed to them on a gold platter. I thought that Doug Ford was a real conservative but I was wrong. That fool is just as bad as the other treasonous political party's and politicians out there in Canukistan land. We the sheeple are surrounded by traitors to Canada. Sad, but oh so true.

Thanks to Trump and his war on these pedophile creeps we are starting to see plenty of these Zionist billionaire scum like her whom are behind these pedophile rings being arrested and jailed. Sadly, there are more of her ilk still getting away with crimes against humanity like this every day. I was surprised to see that the Canadian media even reported this story. WestCanMan you are the best.

This buffoon of a crime mistake of Canukistan should be arrested and charged for all of his crimes against the Canadian people. There is enough chit on him to do so. The liberal PC party won't do a bloody thing to him. I guess that this shows us all that they all do work together protecting each other's asses while they screw we the sheeple every day. But there is some hope on the arisen. There is one organization out there called Action4Canada that still is and has been holding protests for months now against Teflon Don Trudeau and this Convid 19 lie. But most people would probably not have heard of or know about them because of the lying leftist Canadian media who no doubt is ignoring them on purpose. The lying Canadian leftist liberal media is in cahoots with those criminals in Ottawa. We are in a fight for our freedom today. We either want to get back to our old normal lives as we once lived seven months ago and hang onto our freedoms or people can keep on believing what their dear comrade lying politicians and the lying Pravda media keep telling them every day about Convid 19 and protecting the many many Teflon Don crimes being committed against the Canadian people. It's getting later than you think. This is from a member of Action4Canada. You and others here would be wise to check out their website. Just a suggestion to you all here.

The same kind of minds who have watched Biden for 47 years and all of his great "plans". “Don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to f*** things up” - Barack Obama (2020)

Biden is a funny old senile man and certainly not of presidential calibre, never was, but he is unlikely to be passionately hated by anyone and that alone could turn this election to his favour. Namely, 4 years ago people viewed Hillary like a witch. Even more unlikeable than Trump. Another thing working in Trump's favour was that it seemed ridiculous that there had been two members of the Bush-family as President was there going to be two members of another family too. People didn't like that idea.

So I was working on some back exercises and flicking through the news channels and on came FOX, which was broadcasting Biden's speech live. I watched it. It was a good speech, what I saw of it. It was all about his plans, and what he would do for the country, and bring jobs back and put an infrastructure plan in place, and unite people. It was earnest, hopeful and optimistic. Then Trump started speaking so of course FOX cut away. The difference couldn't have been more pronounced. All Trump talked about was himself and how mean people have been to him, and how great a job he's done and then how terrible Biden was, and that his son was a crook and Biden was being used by Marxists and Socialists and that everyone would regret it dearly once they were in power. blah, blah blah. It was a dark and whiny speech with not a word about what he could or would or wanted to do for his country. It was all about him and his enemies, who are evil and hate America. What kind of a mind could watch both and think Trump was the guy to vote for is beyond me.

I've already said that I expect I will despise the Biden administration as much as I despised the Obama administration. But America run by at least partially 'woke' morons is still far better than it being run by a brainless narcissistic crook that Putin has by the balls. I mean, if Trump had at least surrounded himself with smart advisors and been willing to take their advice he could have gotten by. But he didn't. He fired all the smart people and surrounded himself with yes-men and grifters.

Generations. Read, then talk. He also created the DPA law for the criminal entity known as SNC Lavalin, the company that was already busted for bribing a Liberal politician with $2.3M for help winning the $127M Jacques Cartier Bridge contract in Mtl. He also made himself the de facto AG of this country when tried to coerce JWR to let SNC off the hook with the shiny new DPA law when she knew they shouldn't be. So the little bastard fired her, and then bad-mouthed her when she couldn't speak in her own defence because of attorney-client privilege, then he forbade his cabinet from speaking to the RCMP and effectively shut down the investigation himself. He lied about all of it, every step of the way, but the MSM that he bought and paid for with $1.3B of our taxpayer money said nothing. They even hid the fact that SNC has a court-documented history of bribery in this country. Trudeau didn't just have "close ties to We". At one point he offered them over $1M of taxpayer money to host an event which his mom got paid to speak at. They also used taxpayer money to make propaganda for him. In short, Trudeau was just a sleazy little criminal with We and once again the media has his back. The media, except for Rebel, but they're banned from being in his glorious presence - they'll get strong-armed by the Gestapo if they get too close. Baloney. He's so god-damned stupid that he followed the WHO's advice, which made Canada one of the first ten countries to 5,000 deaths. The fact that we got so much covid here meant that we had to shut down our economy, costing us hundreds of billions of dollars. As the country with the world's 40th-highest population and 187th-highest population density we should still be shy of 5K deaths, but Trudeau screwed us, either intentionally or with his vast stupidity. His bought-and-paid-for MSM act like he was a hero by comparing our situation to that of the NYC MSA, where the population of Quebec, BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward, Newfoundland, Labrador, Yukon, Nunavit and the Northwest Territories all live in an area the size of Vancouver Island. Sadly, a lot of Canadians are too stupid to comprehend the difference between people from Moosamin giving covid to people in Charlottetown, and people from Queens giving covid to people from Manhattan who are sitting beside them on the subway. Anyone who doesn't realize that Trudeau screwed up badly 'fighting' covid is just a completely worthless dolt. There's no smear campaign QM, you're not calling out anything. You're just being overly sensitive. Trudeau is a sleazy little criminal and the people with whom he associates are sleazy little criminals or they're entirely suspect for their poor choice of company.

Well...at CBC, so-called right-wingers (I do not and will not vote CPC) are not imagining the effort to make an echo chamber of anti-Trump rhetoric. I wouldn't care so much if CBC was a private media outlet, but this is a taxpayer (me & you) funded entity. An entity that had golden days where it was #1 on the planet bar-none in objective reporting/programming...especially CBC Radio which was beyond special in the Peter Gzowski days. Gone...and I'm now their apparent enemy...even if I was once one of them on a regular basis (always loaned-out to CBC Engineering Dept). I think you'd find me surprisingly liberal...certainly libertarian...over a beer or three in the backyard. Where you and I are going to forever clash is Islam. I know the religion and I know the history. It's peaceful & friendly like my cat is a concert violinist.

This is a real problem with the message coming from the left. "Whatever happened before in history is irrelevant to me, as I didn't care back then. But I care now. And my own feelings are more relevant than facts." "And now, I shall go forth and change the world. For the Better!!!" .... Now we know why Stalin needed the dumbocrats. The technical and scientific classes were the first to be killed, because they knew history and could refute his emotionally inflamed nonsense.

So this thread started getting derailed here: The problem was hyperbole. All he was really saying was many on the right in America believe there is a problem with what is called "the Deep state." They believe neo and anarcho Marxists are causing problems. They believe the Progressive or as some call it, "regressive" leftist infection has even spread into our Canadian system. They believe this segment of the political left is self-destructive. Remove all the hyperbole and there's no real argument with that. Although we on the rational right would be happy to have it. No need to derail.

That's right. Canadians don't care as long as they have the Canadian essentials in life- a hockey game, and a bottle of beer.And now they have what is essentially government-grown dope. Thanks to J. Trudeau: "Opium is the opium for the masses." - Albert E. Oftenwrong

I think the destruction is wanton and must be stopped. Why the word is wanton, I dunno but they are reckless and destroying things, not even in the name of something. You can't destroy without a cause. To be legitimate there has to be a cause... No I wouldn't call it terrorism. Just a scumbag movement. Filth and detritous are always attracted to any spectacle. Legitimate protest is now defeated.

Covid has already killed almost 160,000 people in the u.s. in just over half a year now. Still want to compare it to the flu?

Given what we know about the dangers of speaking moistly yelling moistly in someone's face could be considered an assault.

I have contributed to that thread, here. Anyway, why would it matter if I'd contributed nothing? That's irrelevant. Oh, BS. The rules on this forum are that personal insults and comments are forbidden and that such will be sanctioned. I'm merely attempting to help you enforce your rules: Be polite and respect others. No Trolling/Flaming. No personal attacks. If I wanted to censor or control fellow posters, you'd be hearing a lot more from me - especially about the Russian bots and trolls that are allowed free rein here. So next time I feel that someone deserves to be insulted, I expect my post to stand as an expression of my "freedom of expression" and to see nothing from you in my inbox. In the meantime, I got a point in July 2019 for calling someone a hypocrite. I expect that point to be removed since the rule against insulting other posters don't really matter.

It is ok to insult people by saying "you racist piece of garbage": Reporting and ignoring was unsuccessful in this instance.

Things BDS supporters like... #1 Hitler...he was a good man...keen on killing the Jews and bringing about the Judenfrei state run by the al-Husseini Clan in British Palestine. http://www.worldfuturefund.org/wffmaster/Reading/Total/hitler.mufti.htm I mean...what's not to like? The Third Reich and BDS...hand in hand through history.

The whole Palestinian Cause relies on the hope that Westerners simply do not remember the history of the region. Mufti? What Mufti? What's a Mufti??

Ironic, considering European Countries and the UN looked the other way when Arab Countries ethnically cleansed nearly 1,000,000 Sephardi Jews from North Africa and the Middle East in the aftermath of the 1948 War Of Independence.
