Wrong. You’re just gullible easily fooled by people you really really really want to believe no matter what. LMAO no I’m arguing with an idiot who is just desperately trying to split hairs and play word games. First you idiotically said since Trump told the rioters to “walk” to the capital and not “march” it didn’t count (even though the event was called the “Save America March”) which is stupid enough in and of itself. Then when confronted with Eric Trumps called on the mob to March ON the Capitol you’re making up another nonsense rule that says it only counts if he told them to march TO the capitol. You’re a desperate loser just like your emasculated impotent lame duck leader that foolishly worship like a god. Some what some guy’s criticism of the ROE at a point in time doesn’t prove your broader point. You conveniently ignore everything else including the maps and data of territory captured and fighters killed. America and the white house in particular has been a chaotic dysfunctional dumpster fire for the past 4 years . America’s slow, long-term decline of American civilization and continued rule by corporate oligarchy is something hat neither Trump nor Biden nor Obama can stop (or want to stop) and it’s been going on for 40 years under Republican and Democrat alike. But at least an unstable idiot won’t be disgracing the country and accelerating the decline on a daily basis with erratic and absurd policies and matching personal conduct.2 points

International and interprovincial travel has been legal in Canada outside the Maritime bubble, yet people who travel are being publicly shamed and losing their jobs. I realize there's the idea that political leaders should be held to a higher standard and that they are seen as hypocritical for asking Canadians to make sacrifices if they won't make the same efforts. I suppose, but people make choices based on all sorts of varying criteria. I'm going against the witch-hunters and saying that as long as flights are allowed, people should be able to fly without having to defend it, if they can do the necessary quarantining. It's nobody's damn business. If people have cottages or other properties, they should have the right to visit them within their own country, no questions asked. Allowing governments to restrict movement is an issue. What if we had extreme violence or food shortages and the state prevented people from being able to flee dangerous areas or hunt for survival? I don't think government should be allowed that kind of control. Thankfully such restrictions aren't yet in place, and I don't think it's right to shame people for traveling. Essential means different things to different people. Be careful what freedoms you give up because precedents are being set. Right now some provinces are considering curfews among many other tight restrictions on movement. I understand that much of this may be necessary, but it must be targeted and temporary. I certainly don't think it's fair to shame people for not following a restriction that hasn't become policy. https://apple.news/ARymylQ4qTqisTCMFCzBYVw1 point

I am more Libertarian than most, but let's also try to be pragmatic. First of all, we DO (or SHOULD) hold politicians to a far higher standard, because we elect them to lead us. IMHO that means presenting a public figure in line with what is policy and "for the greater good". Personal freedoms are a cornerstone of Western democracies, so it's not fair to assume these rights have been breached without just cause. If it was a matter of putting only yourself at risk, IMHO go for it. BUT: when the consequences of you travelling and not exercising due caution (un-necessary travel itself being the case) is that someone else could be come infected and/or deceased and YOUR treatment (as well as your victims') will cost the taxpayer a significant amount of money, it's time to make some kind of declaration of public emergency and suspend personal freedoms. The other consequence especially of poor examples being set by politicians is that everyone else gets the "if they can then I can" when business in general and owners in particular are being asked or demanded to make very expensive sacrifices for that one and same public good. Always remember that an elected politician is being paid by US, not doing things on his or her own nickel.1 point

So tell me what exactly did Trump do that wasn’t already being done?Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller? Oh wait here’s an expert analysis Taking territory In this map, light green territory was taken back from the Islamic State group under the Obama administration; dark green territory was taken back under the Trump administration. https://mappingisis.com/maps/ In 2014, the Obama administration launched a military campaign called Operation Inherent Resolve to use U.S. and allied troops and provide aid to other groups to fight the Islamic State group. Military, government and outside analysts agree that the campaign was successful on all fronts before Trump took office in January 2017. For instance, the U.S. envoy to the international anti-ISIS coalition testified in June 2016 – seven months before Trump became president – that the Islamic State “has lost 47% of its territory in Iraq, and 20% in Syria.” The 72-nation coalition stated “by November 2016 Islamic State had lost 62% of its mid-2014 ‘peak’ territory in Iraq, and 30% in Syria.” And the British think tank IHS Markit reported that by the final months of Obama’s presidency, Islamic State territory in Iraq had shrunk from 40% of the country to just 10%. Pentagon and State Department maps further demonstrate that in the two and half years the war was fought under Obama, the Islamic State lost its only international border (with Turkey) and vast swaths of territory. They clearly show that approximately half of the Islamic State’s territory had been liberated by the time Obama left office. A Pentagon map of progress against the Islamic State by October 2016 shows the group had already lost the territory marked in green.U.S. Department of Defense via U.S. Institute of Peace In this U.S. State Department map dated December 2017, light green shows the area the Obama administration took from the Islamic State. Dark green is the area the Trump administration took in its first year in office. Red areas were still under IS control in late December 2017.U.S. State Department Under the Obama administration, the Islamic State was driven out of most of Iraq.Brian Glynn Williams/MappingISIS.com, CC BY-ND Killing IS fighters The Islamic State group also lost large numbers of fighters under Obama. In December 2016, a month before Obama’s term ended, CNN reported that the Pentagon said it had killed 50,000 militants in airstrikes since 2014, leaving no more than 15,000 Islamic State fighters to defend their collapsing state. Just weeks after Obama left the White House, Gen. Raymond Thomas, head of U.S. Special Operations Command, told a symposium in Maryland, “We have killed over 60,000 [ISIS members].” In addition to losing territory and fighters under Obama, the Islamic State lost most of its oil-producing capacityin 2015, as a result of a massive bombing campaign known as Tidal Wave II, which drastically limited the group’s ability to fund its operations. https://theconversation.com/who-really-defeated-the-islamic-state-obama-or-trump-1480661 point

LMAO there you are lying gaslighting again. So now Trump was just innocently repeating the fraud claims because he heard some other people making them! ?? It’s a lie HE STARTED and he even promised to tell months before the election even started. And he continued to tell it and attack the character of even his own people after the bs claims were debunked and dismissed and then he tried to pressure all kinds ofstate and federal officials to just declare him the winner anyway. He said HE knew for a fact he won by millions of votes nationwide which is not something that would be in any local poll worker’s affidavit. You Lying liars jusr can’t stop lying. Last I checked nobody’s been found guilty of libel or slander, unlike all the guilty crooks uncovered and convicted in Trump camp. And Trumps impeachment failed because the Republican senate protected him saying that all of a sudden you cannot impeach a president for minor crimes like obstruction of Justice. I guess getting a blowjob is a major crime to all those pearl-clutching conservatives Same thing moron, nice try. Also just to be clear Eric Trump also spoke to the crowd and said “Have some backbone. Show some fight. Learn from Donald Trump and we need to MARCH on the Capitol today.” Giuliani also told them to do “trial by combat” and Trump also said fight like hell” and “Have some backbone. Show some fight. ” and This is all nonsense including your continued reference to this magic video which did absolutely nothing. More right wing alternate reality. It’s like you never heard of the Magnitsky act which Trump tried to trade away in exchange for diet on Clinton or all the powers struggles to influence the Ukraine or the unprecedented Russian cyberattacks on the US government that just happened in recent months which to nobody’s surprise Trump tried to pin on everyone EXCEPT Russia despite all expert analysis to the contrary. Or you don’t recall the absolute ball-washing and tongue bath Trump gave Putin in Helsinki denigrating his own US intelligence service while saying he believes a Putin over them and praising Putin as being “very powerful”. Intelligent people understand words. Idiots only want a picture you can’t understand or put in context. So here you go dummy1 point

China is a major threat to our economy and national security. The Canadian government should have taken steps to curb the CCP's activities within our borders yet they continue to fail badly in this area. Government agencies were provided with a database of over 1.95 millions CCP members working abroad with their sole purpose being to steal technologies and intellectual property. The USA has taken a strong stand against the CCP yet our elected officials refuse to do anything about it, instead standing by until something happens. When "the shit hits the fan", they respond with diplomacy instead of taking actions to avoid problems first.1 point

Americans do have the right attitude. Donald Trump has been hard on China, unlike Sleepy Joe who's said China is America's allie. Trudeau's been soft on China - we need a government that takes a hard stand on countries like China that have horrible human rights issues and whose agenda is to wreak havoc on the world's ecomonies. China has been working to dominate the world economy and has accomplished exactly that by unleashing the CCP virus and then concealing its existence from the world, although temporarily, then blaming the USA for its incarnation. Yet, it's been reported that the Canada Pension Plan is still pouring our federal pension funds into the Chinese market, largely controlled by the CCP. Furthermore, the are doing so with the full knowledge that Chinese law prohibits foreign oversight of the reporting by the Chinese companies. What does that mean? These Chinese companies can report whatever looks favourable to the CCP and they don't have to be transparent whatsoever. A lot of people hate Donald Trump, however he has been the only President of the USA that's been hard on China, realizing that they are the greatest threat to world economies and national security. Under his leadership, the US has passed the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act in December 2020 which forces Chinese companies listed on US stock exchanges (ie Alibaba) to open their audit books to US regulators or be delisted from these exchanges. In contrast, our current Liberal government doesn't appear to recognize the existing and future threats to our economy and national security by the Communist Chinese regime. I woudn't put it past the Biden administration to overturn the new Act passed in December 2020 but that's another story. I encourage all Canadians to stand up and contact their federal MPs to put a halt to the practise of investing our future retirement CCP funds in the Chinese economy. The Canada Pension Plan has so far invested over $15 billion with plans to increase those investments by 20%. If the USA can have a tough stance when it comes to dealing with China, our elected Prime Minister should be taking just a hard a stand in its dealings with them. China is the biggest threat to the world. The CCP has millions of its membership infiltrating government agencies and public corporations in its efforts to steal our technology and intellectual property. Yet our government seems to be reactive instead of being proactive. We need a leader who stands tough against Communism, not invest in it.1 point
