It's hard to find, but before that wrong way Joe approached a Marine who saluted him and tried to salute him back but started to use the wrong hand so he put it down and then tried to use the wrong hand again so he put it down and then he just stood there. So the marine finished his salute and motioned for Biden to go to the mariners left only to start to go the wrong way. Then he almost stood fscing the wrong direction before shuffling ahead early so the PM and Marine had to pretend that was on purpose and just catch up.2 points

No need to be extreme. No one is trying to sell that to anyone. Finland has one of the most powerful militaries in Europe with a population the size of BC. Surely we can find something between what we have now and your hysterical trillion dollars. Conscription is regarded as a good thing in many countries. In 2013, Switzerland had a referendum on abolishing conscription. 73% voted to keep it.2 points

I think this is an important topic. I feel like most of the people in the world were greatly affected by it. We both know that Fauci lied to the world dozens of times, and that his lies hurt a lot of people. Thousands. Maybe tens of thousands. No one even knows because the number of vax-injured remains a mystery that's shrouded in lies and secrecy. But you don't care. I forgot.2 points

I think there'll always be an expectation that Canadians should still do the responsible thing when a more collective approach is called for, as in the case of any other emergency. I think COVID made it clear that a sense of their shared responsibility is what Canadians abandoned. Given the power of hindsight perhaps we can come up with better ways of checking all the misinformation that compels so many people to mistrust their governments - we already know that misinformation about vaccines and alternative 'remedies' led to thousands of deaths and hospitalizations not to mention the billions of dollars that cost. But of course better transparency and accountability is something we should always be working on constantly. I think it's clear as day that if we don't address public mistrust and another even deadlier event happens sooner rather than later that it'll make COVID look like it was only a bad flu that killed a few old farts. I still get the sense some people think COVID was an opportunity lost and that we should have let it rip.2 points

You are once again ignoring fact. srael has never once recognized Palestine’s right to exist and never once renounced occupation and settlement expansion. Also Israel purposely cultivated Hamas in Gaza to divide Palestinians Including dollars from Netanyahu’s government you cannot separate Israel’s aggression against Palestinians from Palestinian aggression against Israel I am not condoning Hamas or Oct 7 but it is unrealistic to expect that Palestinians should always turn the other cheek and simply find ways to cope under the oppression of Israeli hardliners, settlement expansion etc Yeah looks real peaceful there in Gaza. So what Russia isn’t waging war on Uzbekistan must mean they are peaceful. Israel is waging war on Palestinians and the decades of land-grabs, illegal settlements, stealing water, arbitrarily shutting off water, electricity, import/exports, aiding and abetting militant settler militias….that is all warfare. The war has never ended and has been going since before the bombing the King David hotel, it just takes different forms at different times. “The Palestinians” actually have diverse views and the secular Palestinian Authority unilaterally recognized Israel’s right to exist decades ago and still does….Israel is the one who refused to reciprocate That is a fact! Why don’t you take YOUR rose-colored glasses off and ask Netanyahu that same question since he deliberately isolated Palestinian Authority (who recognized Israel and participated in peace process) in order to cultivate and elevate Hamas (who called for Israel’s destruction)? Netanyahu foolishly believed he could divide the Palestinian people between these two groups and control them both. Also why don’t you ask how Palestinians could deal with Israel whose position is that Palestinians have no right to their own state and no right to be citizens of the Israeli state and therefore fated to be occupied people for all eternity, all while continuously building illegal settlements and carrying out all the other oppressive activities Ive mentioned several times already?1 point

Don't ask me... ask Trump's Cabinet secretaries. Nearly all of them have said that he was a terrible leader. Even Nixon did not face so much criticism from his top advisors. This is not normal by a long stretch. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson: "M0R0N" Attorney General William Barr: "The fact of the matter is he is a consummate narcissist and he constantly engages in reckless conduct that puts his political followers at risk and the conservative and Republican agenda at risk. … He will always put his own interest and gratifying his own ego ahead of everything else, including the country’s interest. There’s no question about it. … He’s like a 9-year-old, a defiant 9-year-old kid, who’s always pushing the glass toward the edge of the table defying his parents to stop him from doing it.” National Security Advisor John Bolton: "By the time I left the White House, I was convinced he was not fit to be president. … I think it is a danger for the United States if he gets a second term.” Joint Chiefs Chairman Mark Milley: "We don’t take an oath to a country. We don’t take an oath to a tribe. We don’t take an oath to a religion. We don’t take an oath to a king or a queen, or to a tyrant or a dictator. And we don’t take an oath to a wannabe dictator.” Navy Secretary Richard Spencer: "The president has very little understanding of what it means to be in the military, to fight ethically or to be governed by a uniform set of rules and practices.” National Security Advisor HR McMaster: "President Trump and other officials have repeatedly compromised our principles in pursuit of partisan advantage and personal gain.” Secretary of Defense James Mattis: "Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people — does not even pretend to try. Instead, he tries to divide us. We are witnessing the consequences of three years of this deliberate effort. We are witnessing the consequences of three years without mature leadership. We can unite without him, drawing on the strengths inherent in our civil society.” Secretary of Defense Mark Esper: "I have a lot of concerns about Donald Trump. I have said that he’s a threat to democracy. I think the last year, certainly the last few months of Donald Trump’s presidency, will look like the first few months of the next one if that were to occur.” Chief of Staff John Kelly: "[Donald Trump is] a person who admires autocrats and murderous dictators. A person that has nothing but contempt for our democratic institutions, our Constitution and the rule of law.” Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao: "I think the events at the Capitol, however they occurred, were shocking. And it was something that, as I mentioned in my statement, that I could not put aside.” HHS Secretary Alex Azar: "Unfortunately, the actions and rhetoric following the election, especially during this past week, threaten to tarnish these and other historic legacies of this administration. The attacks on the Capitol were an assault on our democracy and on the tradition of peaceful transitions of power that the United States of America first brought to the world.”1 point

Continued… BIBI’S COUP In Israel’s November 2022 election, Netanyahu won back power. His coalition captured 64 of the Israeli parliament’s 120 seats, a landslide by recent standards. The key figures in the new government were Bezalel Smotrich, the leader of a nationalist religious party representing West Bank settlers, and Ben-Gvir. Working with the ultra-Orthodox parties, Netanyahu, Smotrich, and Ben-Gvir devised a blueprint for an autocratic and theocratic Israel. The new cabinet’s guidelines, for example, declared that “the Jewish people have an exclusive, inalienable right to the entire Land of Israel”—denying outright any Palestinian claim to territory, even in Gaza. Smotrich became minister of finance and was put in charge of the West Bank, where he initiated a massive program to expand Jewish settlements. Ben-Gvir was named national security minister, in control of police and prisons. He used his power to encourage more Jews to visit the Temple Mount (al Aqsa). Between January and October of 2023, about 50,000 Jews toured it—more than in any other equivalent period on record. (In 2022, there were 35,000 Jewish visitors on the Mount.) Netanyahu’s radical new government stirred outrage among Israeli liberals and centrists. But even though humiliating Palestinians was central to their agenda, these critics continued to ignore the fate of the occupied territories and al Aqsa when denouncing the cabinet. Instead, they focused largely on Netanyahu’s judicial reforms. Announced in January 2023, these proposed laws would curb the independence of Israel’s Supreme Court—the custodian of civil and human rights in a country that lacks a formal constitution—and dismantle the legal advisory system that provides checks and balances on executive power. If they had been enacted, the bills would have made it much easier for Netanyahu and his partners to build an autocracy and might even have spared him from his corruption trial. The judicial reform bills were, without doubt, extraordinarily dangerous. They rightfully prompted an enormous wave of protests, with hundreds of thousands of Israelis demonstrating every week. But in confronting this coup, Netanyahu’s opponents again acted as if the occupation were an unrelated issue. Even though the laws were drafted partly to weaken whatever legal protection the Israeli Supreme Court would give Palestinians, demonstrators shied away from mentioning the occupation or the defunct peace process out of fear of being smeared as unpatriotic. In fact, the organizers worked to sideline Israel’s anti-occupation protesters to avoid having images of Palestinian flags appear in the demonstrations. This tactic succeeded, ensuring that the protest movement was not “tainted” by the Palestinian cause: Israeli Arabs, who make up around 20 percent of the country’s population, largely refrained from joining the demonstrations. But this made it harder for the movement to succeed. Given Israel’s demographics, center-left Jews need to partner with the country’s Arabs if they ever want to form a government. By delegitimizing Israeli Arabs’ concerns, the demonstrators played right into Netanyahu’s strategy. With the Arabs out, the battle over the judicial reforms proceeded as an intra-Jewish affair. Demonstrators adopted the blue and white Star of David flag, and many of their leaders and speakers were retired senior military officers. Protesters showed off their military credentials, reversing the decline in prestige that had shadowed the IDF since the invasion of Lebanon in 1982. Reservist pilots, who are crucial to the air force’s preparedness and combat power, threatened to withdraw from service if the laws were passed. In a show of institutional opposition, the IDF’s leaders rebuffed Netanyahu when he demanded that they discipline the reservists. That the IDF would break with the prime minister was not surprising. Throughout his long career, Netanyahu has frequently clashed with the military, and his strongest rivals have been retired generals who became politicians, such as Sharon, Rabin, and Barak—not to mention Benny Gantz, whom Netanyahu made part of his emergency war cabinet but may eventually challenge and succeed him as prime minister. Netanyahu has long rejected the generals’ vision of an Israel that is strong militarily but flexible diplomatically. … But military and intelligence incompetence, dismal as it was, cannot shield the prime minister from culpability—and not only because, as head of the government, Netanyahu bears ultimate responsibility for what happens in Israel. His reckless prewar policy of dividing Israelis made the country vulnerable, tempting Iran’s allies to strike at a riven society. Netanyahu’s humiliation of the Palestinians helped radicalism thrive. It is no accident that Hamas named its operation “al Aqsa flood” and portrayed the attacks as a way of protecting al Aqsa from a Jewish takeover. Protecting the holy Muslim site was seen as a reason to attack Israel and face the inevitably dire consequences of an IDF counterattack. The Israeli public has not absolved Netanyahu of responsibility for October 7. The prime minister’s party has plummeted in the polls, and his approval rating has tanked as well, although the government maintains a parliamentary majority. …1 point

So what do we have here? A severed Trump head. A woman that fantasizes about making a terror attack. A congress woman that incites violence. Some nut job that can't handle the results of an election. A Trump in diapers balloon? A guy that paid people to attack him so he could blame Trump. A guy that lied about having a pee tape and still refuses to acknowledge he lied. But Trump saying we need to secure the border, lower taxes, simplify regulations and play nice internationally is unhinged.1 point

Well it's all about the marketing. They always like to sneak in familiar terms so that people feel that something new is actually tried and true. We see that all the time. "Processed cheese food slices". Like - if you have to put the word 'food' in there just to clarify it then that's cause for concern. When they say something like dog food or cat food it's to clarify who the food is for, not that it's food. So - Unless this is what you take home and feed to your pet gouda it's not 'cheeze food', they just want to get the word food in there so you think it's actually nutritional. Or they say it's a cheeze 'product'. "We're not saying it's ACTUAL cheese, it is a cheese product. It's actually got nothing to do with cheese but we wanted the word in there" In fairness tho i guess they were a little hard pressed to discribe it. It's not a vaccine, but it's not 'medicine'- that's what you take after you get sick. It's sort of vaccine-ish or vaccine - like in that it's to defend you against serious consequence but it dosen't prevent you from getting it or spreading it, so it's not a vaccine. What would be the word for that? "premedicated"?1 point

well i'd explain it to you, but it might take two sentances and i know that reading that much gives you a headache You don't ask that at all And in fact 90 percent of our 'debates' end up with me repeating the points again and again along with the proof while you try desperately to change the channel or pretend english words mean something entirely different than they actually do or try to change how math works I call you out on that pretty regular And in the end it always boils down to you completely having a melt down and screaming about how it's all my fault because of post count and too much typing Which is about as childish as it gets. Kid - you haven't got an honest bone in your body and you only argue for the sake of trying to 'win' against me, which always ends with you looking dumber than a stump. Then you get mad and do your little hissy fit routine. You clearly enjoy believing you're intelligent. And you're just not that intelligent - and when someone who is intelligent shows up it becomes very obvious you're not that intelligent and you can't take that emotionally. You should think about that for a bit.1 point

Here is the deal, if you take hundreds of millions of dollars from government, then yes, you are beholding to government. Especially if you lay off thousand of people after you take government money. I remember you being all gung ho when grocery store CEO's got hauled before the carpet and they got no government money. So, it is OK for some but not for others?? Every government that Canada has ever had has been somewhat socialistic. Otherwise we would not have health care, welfare, any other social programs and now day care and dental plans and tampons in mens washrooms LOL Governments only give grants to those that apply for them.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/biden-relies-on-reporter-list-notes-during-white-house-joint-press-conference-with-japanese-pm/ar-BB1ls1Ot Yesterday when Joe Biden was at the WH with the PM of Japan, he "took some questions from reporters" lol. Unlike the ice cream cone questions, where he can study the pre-scripted for hours and then rattle off the answer off the top of his head in one or two takes, there were too many Q's to remember the answers to so they just said "F-U, America, we're gonna fake this right in front of your stupid faces." Joe literally had to shuffle through his notes to see which reporter he was supposed to take his question from, then after the pre-scripted Q was asked, he read the answer right off of his notes. There was no attempt whatsoever from the WH to pretend that Joe Biden was answering that pre-scritped question on his own. Leftards here can't weasel out of the fact that the whole Q and A session was a joke and America was the punchline. And Biden didn't just get the questions in advance, like Hillary during a debate, he had the answers to the fake questions right in his hand... 😂 Can leftards try to make the case that Joke Acosta was asking pre-scripted questions? Biden is done now. He's not gonna cross the finish line. There's nothing left. They can indict him for whatever they want now to gain some fake credibility, because he's not gonna be president long no matter what.1 point

Sure, the vast VAST majority of medical experts still stand by their conviction that vaccinations are the best way to prevent further disease and death. They've obviously made some improvements.

Turns out there wasn't and it really didn't. The vaccine was useful for slowing the spread for original covid but that had largely gone out the door by the time delta showed up whcih was right when we were doing mass deployment and forcing people to take it. And it had zero benefit at all in stopping the spread for omicron So - fail. Got anything else? NO? Well there you go - no valid reason. And this is what they used to force people to take it:1 point

Yes there is no more wall, the sun and the moon are that much more brighter, because of it, Russia pulled back, most of the war saw pact see's democracy as more attractive...But Russia still is a combat power that can and will project military strength when ever it feels like...like in Ukraine, Syria etc...and it is not that ukraine is of some strategic importance to the globe, well to most of the world it is just another war saw pact country looking for a home...to Russia it is important, hence why the need to cleanse Nazis or what ever excuse they are using this week. Now to Europe it represents a threat, as they don't know if putin is going to take a larger bite out of their club...anyways the Europeans are all in arms, in fact some of those countries are on a war footing as we speak, with conscription, shopping at amazon for more military equipment, and pleading to have more NATO troops in their countries... Putin knows that NATO is like Russia a mere shell of their former self's... but still have a military capable of doing a lot of conventional damage....NATO is growing daily in strength and size...while Russia is bleeding it's resources in a conflict that really should have taken a few months....Ukraine is also bleeding out of it's people and resources...with only Europe and the US giving them aid, and only giving them just enough aid to hold them pesky ruskies at bay, not much more, as it is not in their best interests right... for a couple reasons... Russia stops being the bad guy and how do they trick congress into buying new toys or the US has spent a lot of time and effor to get Europe into increasing their military so US could downsize...can't do that if theirs is no war...second this war gives NATO time to get rid of all it's old and mouldy equipment and ammo, plus it gets to bleed out mother Russia at the same time, 2 for the price of one, it is a deal...there is more but your really not putting much effort into these conversations... Yes China is now the new world bad guy, it's NAVY has already larger than the US, meaning it has more ships, but lacks in certain ship types...So yes NATO and other defensive organizations have come into the picture to counter China...

Not sure why your hung up on this topic...you seem to bring it up every occasion you can....regardless of why NATO was put into play, nothing has really changed, The Russians still pose a threat to Europe, NATO command has deemed that the Russian threat has diminished slightly, China is now the main threat, which is why you see changes being made to ground forces, and naval forces.... with mother Russia taken second place...Still a major threat regardless of what is happening in Ukraine...NATO forces are the lowest they have ever been in the last 30 years...and it is Russia that has spurred all the latest spending of NATO countries scrambling to get caught up... I think you'll find France rejoined NATO in it's military capabilities only...it does not participated in decision making abilities but it does send troops into NATO conflicts... Your worlds may of changed, our world is still the same only some players have shifted around...leaving NATO would not have any benefits to Canada or our economy, i mean we are part of the club but do not respect any of the rules...were free loaders 99 % of the time...that part is what has changed...from doing our part to doing barely anything.1 point
