The primary purpose of impeachment is to remove a president from office. Democrats are now in the process of ruining another institution of government in order to “get” Trump. It reminds me of Moby Dick. Democrats need their whale, at all costs. Even if it further polarized the country. Meanwhile, there still isn’t a covid relief bill, and instead of having the senate in session for that, they’re going to run an impeachment trial in which the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court has refused to participate. There isn’t a more disgusting group of people. It’s going to be so fun when they get their ass handed to them in the mid term election and lose the house and senate by huge margins.

A San Francisco teacher has been ridiculed for her 'performative wokeness' after she claimed that viral Bernie Sanders wearing mittens at President Joe Biden's inauguration was a lesson in 'white privilege and male privilege.' High school teacher Ingrid Seyer-Ochi penned the San Francisco Chronicle op-ed published on Sunday, nearly two weeks after Sanders and his mittens took the internet by storm. In it, she criticized the 79-year-old senator for wrapping up against the cold in his mittens and winter coat, while she claimed that his female colleagues, and especially women of color such as Vice President Kamala Harris, did not have the same opportunity to dress down for such a prestigious event. "Sen. Sanders is no white supremacist insurrectionist. But he manifests privilege, white privilege, male privilege and class privilege, in ways that my students could see and feel,' Seyer-Ochi, who earns six figures working for the San Francisco Unified School District, wrote.

Watch out for crows. They seem to be growing in number, which is creepy. I counted almost 1000 crows in the trees around here the other night. These birds are up to something, I tell you!

"Hold Fast". February 1, 2021

The Dems are actually using the impeachment as a reason to keep the 25,000 guardsmen at the capitol, and the guardsmen are at the capitol to incite fear of the alt-right bogeyman. The Dems are just itching for something, anything to happen, which will seemingly legitimize large-scale actions against civilians including (but not limited to) the seizure of their guns.

Can you please substantiate these claims? 1. The assault on Rand Paul by his neighbor was not politically motivated. 2. The powder-filled envelope was by a mentally ill Canadian women. You emerge more and more as a delusional nutcase, as each day passes

I don't think we have to look in the rearview mirror at Biden's long, long Senate career any longer, to figure out how he will act (or not) as a president. So far, now that the flowery rhetoric has begun to lose its petals, the Biden Admin's early actions reveal he is the same amoral, do anything to curry favor with powerful interests type -- Wall Street, big pharma and military+security police state complex leaders, and dismiss or give symbolism more than substance to grassroots base support groups that the Democrats depend on for votes at election time. So, among Biden's cabinet appointments are Janet Yellin who has been hopscotching between government and Wall Street bank and brokerage firms like every other finance appointment in recent decades....most noted for getting paid over $850,000 per speech by banking groups. Something that should be illegal on the face of it, but the obvious quid pro quo has to be overlooked, at least since the Dems ran Hillary Clinton for president! And among the rest, the most likely damaging appointment (for the American people) is Lloyd Austin, ret. Army general and until he was given a special deferment (another red flag) for being out of the military forces for less than the required 7 years, to become the new Defense Secretary. The whole point for that 7 year rule was to provide a buffer and maintain real civilian control of the Armed Forces....something US governments have given up on since JFK got himself accidentally shot! But then there's all the 'little' things that most people will only pay a passing glance to, since all of their Democratic Party-allied media and social media will not mention such negative stories more than once.....like the Biden Administration's decision to carry over the Trump decision to remove Grey Wolves from protection from hunters, as endangered species in the lower 48. This is one I did not expect! Now, it looks like the same environmental agencies and volunteer groups that fought Trump policies for four years, have to keep fighting the new Biden regime!

The Governor of Michigan has issued a notice ordering Enbridge Inc. to shut down Line 5 in May after terminating the easement for the pipeline. Enbridge Line 5 carries Canadian oil east, providing around half of the crude oil needs of Ontario and Quebec.

Meanwhile back at the topic subject of "Dems Blatant Facism"... By his own definition, Biden is already governing like a dictator "I have this strange notion, we are a democracy ... if you can’t get the votes … you can’t [legislate] by executive order unless you’re a dictator. We’re a democracy. We need consensus.” Those are the words of Joe Biden. And, no, this isn't a matter of unearthing a clip from the 1980s or '90s in an attempt to play a game of gotcha on some antiquated flip-flop. That's Democratic nominee Biden, less than three weeks before the 2020 presidential election, talking to ABC News' George Stephanopoulos about the dangers of governing like a dictator." https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/536317-by-his-own-definition-biden-is-already-governing-like-a-dictator

CNN’s prime time ratings down 44% during first week post-Trump. #Karma

has he always been like this or is it particularly bad at the moment? i was obviously away from this forum for awhile... but was thinking, wow, now i see why there are only like, five people, in the US politics section. its dominated by WestCanMans zealot veiws. its impossible to have to have a rational discussion. you're either in zealot la la land our your a leftist terrorist! which means everybody else is leftist terrorist. i'm assuming that he's just having a bad time recently and thats why the mods haven't already banned him for a spell.

You. Are. So. Desperate. Trump and his goons incited the violence from his deplorable sum-of-the-earth supporters. He told them to march on the capitol. I never said that was a verbatim quote You are so sad and desperate that you’re hanging your hat on that now....especially after all your false claims that Democrats especially Obama and Harris encouraged the riots! Funny now you’re like ‘but he said “to” not “on” and “walk” not “march” “ and then after demanding the quote for Eric as proof now you’re like but that was Eric not Donald”. Watching you constantly move the goalposts and contradict yourself and quibble over trivialities is entertaining! Oh and go ahead insult me some more, we all know that’s just your sad effort to redirect the topic of conversation to be about me and distract from your disgraced and crooked insurrection-inciting failed ex-president

9h the irony... #China temporarily bars entry of foreigners travelling from Canada #cdnpoli https://t.co/1isCt4IDlm

Anyone care to guess why that 9-year old got pepper sprayed? Could the fact that people like Michelle Obama support violence towards the police have anything to do with it? Even during the coverage of this incident, reporters neglect to mention that people don't have the right to assault police. That girl is lucky that this incident happened to her as a 9 year old instead of as a 19 year old, she might have been strong enough to put herself in a position where she got shot.

For the umpteenth time, you lied, and that makes you a liar. Trump is the one who's accused of sedition, and you said that Trump told people to march on DC. That was a lie. Then you tried to act like the dictionary was wrong, that was you lying again. What Eric Trump says and what Donald Trump says are two different things Beave, you still lied.

First your stupid magic word games are not how the world works He gathered a mob, worked it up into a violent frenzy and sent it to the capital where it committed violence...you think a silly preposition makes a diff? Like if I paid a hitman to shoot “towards” someone but don’t say the magic word “at” someone then I can just go to court with a dictionary and get found not responsible? Try finishing high school sometime to understand the world doesn’t run on magic words. You make Bill Clintons “definition of is is” argument seem like genius in comparison SECONDLY: You second been caught lying multiple times about your own stupid irrelevant magic word games now. At first you falsely claimed nobody used the word “march” even though the official name of the event was “March to save America” and Multiple people including Trump himself used the word “march”. And now you’re lying that you haven’t been provided the Eric Trump quote to “march on” despite the fact I’ve provided it to you at least twice. How convenient that you can’t recall it For the THIRD TIME NOW: “Have some backbone. Show some fight. Learn from Donald Trump,” Eric Trump told the crowd. “And we need to march on the Capitol today. “ https://www.google.ca/amp/s/www.politico.com/amp/news/2021/01/06/trump-threat-primaries-gop-lawmakers-455366 https://www.google.ca/amp/s/www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/federal-investigation-capitol-riot-trump/2021/01/07/178d71ac-512c-11eb-83e3-322644d82356_story.html%3foutputType=amp So you’re getting owned at your own stupid irrelevant magic word game and have resorted to lying. Typical.

This whole country is running on auto pilot. No matter which government institution you call, what time of day, month or season they always "Currently experience higher call volumes than normal." I could not even reach the TD investment services after two hours on hold. Now they have the COVID to use as an excuse. A bullshit place this is!

no election fraud. hmm... interesting. 2020 Post Election Poll Analysis of an Election Like No Other Trump pollster's campaign autopsy paints damning picture of defeat i think the mods can put a nail in this thread.

Update: City of Ottawa released a new version of Covid-19 information site, complete with "Source of infection" statistics. It took almost to day, a year. In the chart, please note exactly two (1, 2) informative columns: "outbreak"; "travel". And everything, including two unknown sources (out of 5) must be, according to the science of the day, due to a "Close contact". Now, a second year IT student should be able to put a bunch of CSV files online in basic diagrams on a two-week project (and does it show as though an attempt at sophistication has been made?). This is the service that we bought for a year of busy work and probably by a department. Ok I have only one question: sure this approach worked 150 years back in a rustic backwater of the world exporting lumber and beavers. But are we certain it's going to work in the 21st century, with problems like Covid, climate change, globalization and so on?

The wall to block caravans of illegal immigrants has been shut down: That doesn't mean Chairman Xiden is against walls in general though.

As I said he’s the least worst option in a system that can only produce bad options. Bernie and the true left will never be viable contenders for the throne. The only viable candidates for most important offices are corporate puppets in the corrupt US political system. Characters like Bernie and AOC are just for show but don’t ever stand a chance

i don't think things are so rosy. haha. Trump had one term and in the process lost the house, senate and presidency. Trump can say that he turns out R voters but what he also does is turn out D voters... even more. the R bean counters know this.

As long as the base loves Trump the political whores in the Republican Party will continue to bow before him. Greene is not the only nutjob in that party, either. There is a ton of money available for anyone who wants to primary sitting Republican leaders by promising to be further right than they are and cut taxes more. The moneymen don't care how nutty these people are as long as they promise to cut their taxes. Most Republican congressional seats are completely safe, either because of gerrymandering or because they're in deep red states. What they really fear is being primaried. That's the real election. The general election is an assumed win. Witness the aforementioned nut job Greene, and her soul sister Lauren Boebert. Along with other greasy types like Tommy Tuberville or Devin Nunes.

The Republican Party is full of douchebags and sleazoids. Lauren Boebert is no different. They did none of that. China increased its trade deficit. Wall Street made record profits. Big Tech increased its power and profits. And the only thing they did for ordinary working men and women was take away much of their health care and let them die of covid.

The extinguisher episode seems more like an unfortunate accident in the heat of a brawl. It was tossed over a barrier and hit a cop. You're free to provide footage of the bludgeoning, though...have at it. Or is that too difficult?

Democrats double-down on their racist equity programs. You WILL be judged by the colour of your skin. Either you're a victim...or you're an oppressor. Which are you?
