"Why do so many of your critics have issues with falling out of windows or getting radiation poisoning?"3 points

Couldn't you just smell the liar? How many countries has the U.S. invaded, without any just cause, unilaterally and in a blatant violation of international law, to subjugate and/or annex? The three Baltic states Finland Poland Romania Czech Republic Hungary Afghanistan Lithuania (after declaring independence) Moldova Georgia Chechnya (after declaring independence) Georgia again (2008) Ukraine (2014-2022) Ukraine again (2022 - ) Are you counting, still? Is this USA? Check your glasses. There's a cause! Ai-ai so threatened! Pathetic, worthless excuses of a brutal, murderous psycho bent on capturing, controlling and complete subjugation of his victims. This is who and what you're trying to excuse and explain: nothing less.3 points

If he doesn’t win, he will be in jail for quite some time. If he wins, there will be a new constitutional crisis when he fires the guy prosecuting him and then pardons himself. Whether he wins or not is still 50/50, imo.3 points

The vote to impeach Yanukovych was unanimous. Because his Berkut killed 100s of peaceful protestors in Maidan. Duh. And also cause he reneged on his promise to sign a trade deal with the West and signed one with Putin instead after being BRIBED. I can tell you right now, Putin will LIE his ass off and Carlson won't call him on it. Which is why Putin is talking to Carlson. 🤮3 points

Because that is not legal, and The Dumb-Dumb Party, at Trump’s insistence just blocked legislation that they wrote which would do that. They also blocked additional border protection funding. You are complaining about a Republican-Party created “crisis” being used as an election plank. I am against illegal immigration and even excessive refugee immigration. But the government must use legal means to stop it, not dictatorship. Personally, I think the law should let law enforcement or a court ask for proof of legal residency in the U.S., and if you cannot reasonably prove you belong here (not on the spot); you should be put on a bus. I have no problem with that, but it must be legal.3 points

its an age old gag for "conservatism" in the US... that "conservatives" aren't conservative at all. they are just another vehicle for the richest of the population to get richer and a lot of it directly from tax payers. the gag goes like this... get people all riled up about some imaginary enemy ("social conservatism")... gays, "wokeness", immigrants, abortion. the issue doesn't really matter, it used to be something else, the actual issue can be switched on a dime. this works mostly with uneducated rural types. just keep repeating that they are in danger and they will believe it. now the center of the GOP support, the uneducated rural types are already pissed that they've missed the "american dream" economically because GOP policies mean they've been getting more poor for 40 years. they need someone to blame. get them to blame gays and immigrants! studies show that people who suffer more from black and white thinking lean "conservative". and so these people are targeted by the business status quo. Political Ideology and Black-and-White Thinking and then have a god like cult figure like Trump to push these people over the edge. a cult like figure that will attack the faceless evil. save the country from "wokeness". while only making them more and more... poor! Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (no Jobs there!) "under the Act individuals and pass-through entities like partnerships and S corporations would receive about $1.125 trillion in net benefits (i.e. net tax cuts offset by reduced healthcare subsidies) over 10 years, while corporations would receive around $320 billion in benefits. The CBO estimated that implementing the Act would add an estimated $2.289 trillion to the national debt over ten years" "Bloomberg News reported in January 2020 that the top six American banks saved more than $32 billion in taxes during the two years after enactment of the tax cut, while they reduced lending, cut jobs and increased distributions to shareholders." meanwhile, Democrats continue as always to support unions and working people. no one can point to ANY policy evidence that the GOP support working people. they only support business and promise "economic trickle down" except that that hasn't been working for 40 years. as a business owner here in Canada... Trudeau has not made it easy for me. because i control the corporation from which i make money, my effective tax rate went up from 8% to 11%. poor working stiffs have to pay a minimum of 17%! but i'm aware that the happiest societies are those where the wealth gap is smallest. Income Inequality Makes Whole Countries Less Happy and with that wealth inequality destroys democracies... because it leads to concentration of power.2 points

Supporting an allies' defense against an imperialist aggressor is not "advocating for war" it's understanding that there's already a war on and we need to pick a side.2 points

Of course he won't. He stayed at home for 2 years for a flu-like disease, and then pretends to be a courageous warrior since Feb 2022. Coward. I never advocated for a war. You are the one advocating for it. You are the one to go to the front line, mr Chicken Hawk.2 points

The admission by the Left that they would not talk to a World Leader capable of starting a major nuclear war is an admission of their warmongering. No one on the Left dares to bat an eye when journalists and politicians talk to Xi Jinping, despite him literally making concentration camps and being THE rival of the US. Russia bad. China good. This is preposterous. This foreign policy is extremely unproductive, as China will not be on our side towards Russia and vice versa. The Nazis allied themselves with their mortal enemies; the Communists, before WWII. Here we have the Russians and the Chinese who are allying themselves, because like the Nazi and the Communist Regimes, the West made it convenient for them to ally. Russia and China are supposed to be rivals. They have territorial conflicts. Now they are united, and we must thank Antony Blinken, Barak Obama, Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden for that mess.2 points

I listened to the opening arguments live, and they are night and day different in terms of clarity and efficacy, but I am deeply skeptical that this court is going make the plain judgment. They will 100% weasel out of it because it's a political hot potato and it's a highly political court.2 points

I'll be watching too. I have always liked Carlson...even when he was on CNN...and I want to know what Putin thinks. That's called "knowledge" and the accumulation there of. But check out the 2 Tweenkies here. They have no desire to hear anything that might contradict their firm belief that war is good...as long as its not them getting shot. I do hope Tucker asks Putin some uncomfortable questions...which I'm sure he will. The interview should shed some light on the blackout Comic-Boy's state media is feeding these lackeys.2 points
-
Will Tucker ask Putin anything useful at all, such as: 1) Why have you refused interviews with all the other American journalists who requested them? 2) Why are all of your political opponents in jail? 3) Why have you jailed so many Russian journalists? 4) Why are Russians jailed for opposing the Ukraine War?2 points

The US certainly exercises force, but I'm not sure you know what the word "aggressive" means. The US is active in world affairs. In the last 50 years it has often often played the role of peace maker or peace keeper or otherwise intervened in conflicts, often as part of a coalition. It has taken defensive action. It has taken retributive action. But it is not wantonly invading other countries. It is not conquering. It is not expanding. In short, it is involved in many conflicts, but it is not, as an aggressor, starting conflicts. The one very notable exception to this is W's invasion of Iraq. He definitely started that war--and without reasonable justification. It was entirely elective and is a huge black eye on the legitimacy of the US as force in the world for stability, freedom and peace. This doesn't mean that the military itself is perfect, or that I personally agree with all of the actions, objectives and aims of every intervention. But the US is not, generally, aggressive. And we certainly aren't trying to gobble up our weaker neighbors and steal their resources. You're welcome.2 points

A federal appeals court has unanimously ruled that Donald Trump can be put on trial for trying to stay in power after losing the 2020 election, rejecting Trump’s sweeping claim of presidential immunity and moving the case one step closer to a jury. “For the purpose of this criminal case, former President Trump has become citizen Trump, with all of the defenses of any other criminal defendant. But any executive immunity that may have protected him while he served as President no longer protects him against this prosecution,” the panel of three judges wrote. “The interest in criminal accountability, held by both the public and the Executive Branch, outweighs the potential risks of chilling Presidential action and permitting vexatious litigation.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2024/02/06/trump-jan-6-immunity-appeal-denied/1 point

Okay, well have fun pondering. You're welcome, if you so choose, to hold the heterodox opinion that people shouldn't be liable for inciting criminal action. But it's just not relevant to the reality of Trump facing liability under established law.1 point

You need to be more clear - back in the day there were many. Income splitting for families, specific tax breaks for kids sports, tax breaks for trades people as they entered the job market to make it easy for them to buy tools and clothes, and of course significant cuts to taxes and the handling of the recession could easily get its' own entire post and still scratch the surface. Nothing is "ALL' woke. Woke generally addresses the motivation behind it or it's effect. Eliminating racial bias in hiring people isn't woke - banning whites from applying at all is. Canada needs a certain level of immigration and traditionally ours is WAY higher than anyone else's per capita and yet far more successful than most other countries. We've always done it well, since the changes in 2006 we've been nothing short of spectacular. but when immigration exceeds the capability of our very carefully designed systems and supports to accomodate as well as our infrastructure in homes, medical facilities and staff, educatoin for children, etc then you get very very serious problems. Which is what is happening right now. And that can cause permanent damages to the immigration system AND canada Sure, that's a thing. It's a common enough tendency - just like all people on the right are nazis or at the very least 'far right', everything (including math) is racist, and back in the day every social idea made you a commie. People do that, but it doesn't change the fact that there were nazis, there were commies, and there is racism. Woke these days tends to refer to anything where the end goal is a social ideology rather than an actual positive result. There's no good reason to bring in 1 million people right now, other than it checks the boxes of some left wing people and groups for various reasons. It's actually causing real harm to at risk groups in canada. Therefore it's "woke'. I think that unfortunately justin did a LOT of 'woke' things and that canadians are a little fed up with 'woke' for the time being and are desperate for actual positive results which the current batch of left leaders cannot deliver. When you see young people leaving the ndp for hte conservatives things have gotten pretty bad. One can only hope that in the future if the left ever gets a chance to run the country again, they realize that ideology ruins lives as it has here in canada, and that whatever you do it must ALSO produce real beneficial results for the people.1 point

His or mine ? My main point is that the proposal is a ban on misleading advertising, which is already law for other products. We can debate that. But isn't it ironic, don't you think, that this guy cannonballs into the wading pool of discussion with a bunch of falsehoods ? Ironic. We are finally talking about taking the elitists to task and not just sharing fake memes about Bill Gates putting bio-microchips in my Cherios...1 point

And another leftie trying out the "please don't look at the man behind the curtain" routine Why - he fired his speaker over it and did the same thing but hey - why are you guys even talking about it? It's so small!!! The prime minister of canada invited a nazi for awards and lunch. Which is bad. He then pretended he had nothing to do with it and fired his speaker over it. That's horrible. Now we've found out he was lying and yet wont' take responsiblity. That's a big deal.1 point

I tire of chopping off the heads of wives I become bored with, therefore I shall snap my fingers, create a new barely modified church of which I am the head of.

Great you do that! Plenty of non-monarchies around the world have rights so we must be missing something. The truth is we only have constitutional rights because Pierre Trudeau, who did more to enshrine and guarantee those rights when he championed and spearheaded the constitution. The monarch simply rubber stamped the arrangement struck between Trudeau and the provinces, which the monarchy had no part in forming. The monarchy doesn’t defend squat. It signs whatever the politicians tell it to and it keeps its opinions to itself. Also there’s something hypocritical and absurd about claiming we only have rights because the king lets us have them. If the king can giveth and the king can taketh away our freedoms then they’re not freedoms at all.1 point
