The question remains, what is it about this that you find so outrageous? Not much of an answer I'm afraid. If you were actually concerned about the behavior rather than just the partisan angle, you'd have also brought up shameless Putin-shill and authoritarian Viktor Orban, who's "attacked" the Biden administration, openly endorsed Trump (who subsequently lavished him with farcical praise during the last Debate) and who wined and dined him at Mar-a-Lago. The "visuals" for that don't look so hot either. I think you may actually believe what you're saying, but it's just blind partisanship. The whole reason for remaining neutral regarding foreign elections is to not pre-emptively antagonize the other side (who may end up winning). If JD Vance hadn't spent the last year undermining the Ukrainian war effort and making it clear he'd throw them under the bus, Zelensky would have nothing to say about him. Had Zelensky spoken out against the Democrats, we'd not hear a peep out of you over it. What bothers you about this is the angle.

I'm Canadian you pants pissing m0ron. Christ, you're dumb. A woman is someone who crosses to the other side of the street when they see you.

The GOP invites Netanyahu, he delivers a clearly partisan speech, dines at Mar-a-Lago with Trump, and this is OKAY. Viktor Orban attacks Biden and his administration, pals up with Putin, hangs out with Trump at Mar-a-Lago and endorses Trump, this is also OKAY. Zelensky gives an interview where he says Vance (who's been arguing for some time that Ukraine should roll over and make concessions to Putin, and who's also been claiming Haitians are kidnapping and eating pets) is too radical...and this is NOT OKAY. Interesting logic there mister. The line in the sand is...what? That it was Pennsylvania?

The political system created in the 18th century and for it, runs on a borrowed time: for a while, already. There are no chances, or reasonable prospects for a renewal within it for one simple reason: it does not need it. Whatever happens in the country, it's perfectly fine as it is, no thanks. Talking: for decades, factually, does nothing to bring even minuscule change any closer. In this setting, the democracy will degrade, and decay. And there are no other logical and reasonable paths. So what is proposed is a new political party: the Political Reform party. It's main agenda and plan is the meaningful political change, as much of it as needed, no excuses or superficial causes. Plus competent, pragmatic management fully transparent and accountable to the citizens. It declares its goals outright and maintains them through several election cycles, till citizens could see that it's for real and grant it an opportunity to go ahead with the change. This option is real and very likely, the only one. The default duopoly has zero interest in any meaningful change. And there's no one else, discounting political costume shows. If we begin now, time can be used with good purpose.

I am all about supporting Ukraine and funding their war efforts against Russia... what I am not for is this administration flying him to a battleground state during the election in what amounts to using him for their campaign. This administration used military assets to fly him to America, to a battleground state, where he is engaged in politics against their rival. Zelensky calls Vance ‘too radical,’ suggests he study WWII https://thehill.com/policy/defense/4895400-volodymyr-zelensky-jd-vance-too-radical/ "Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a new interview with The New Yorker that Ohio Sen. JD Vance (R), the Republican nominee for vice president, “is too radical.”

That's who I meant by The Magnificent 51.

Some of these idi ots were also on the list that said the Hunter Biden laptop had all the earmarks of Russian disinformation. Go figure.

Gabby Gifford was the Congresswoman who got shot in the head by a a far left guy who didn't like the answer to a question he asked her so he shot her. He may of been confused because the media immediately after blamed Sarah Palin and her rhetoric because she released a pamphlet that her and other congress people in crosshairs as in these are the vunerable Democrats that can be beat in the election. Notice how after something happens to a Democrat they immediately blame Republicans and when Trump gets has 2 assassination attempts they blame Trump and Republicans even though they have been claiming that it will be the "End of Democracy" if he is reelected.

I'm sure we can clear this up with a letter to his senior campaign staff. Oh, wait, they resigned en masse when they discovered that their guy was a creep and a self-proclaimed nazi.

She's said nothing about her economic plans. But she did say the economy has the lowest unemployment rate but also that people are wanting jobs to come back. And she just declared a national right to vacation. That should be fun.

Seems your senility caused you to forget to post the "slam." LMAO

Copemoji fest. Which is wild that you couldn't provide a link in the exchange I mentioned. Kinda hard to pretend it's about you not wanting to waste your time when you will spend ten times as much time whining about how unfair it is to be asked for a link than it would take to post a link in the first place. It's not reasonable to assume that someone has seen every single post or thread on the board when literally dozens of new threads pop up every day. I never said it wasn't evidence, I said it wasn't proof you id!ot. And it's not. We haven't seen the posts in question, it's literally hearsay. lol this absolutely does not preclude including an account of a conversation that is relevant to the claims being made since that would fall under "what you saw or heard." (eg. "On x date at x time I witnessed so-and-so from ABC telling so-and-so from the Harris campaign 'we will only fact check Trump'") This is my entire point you dimwit: the "whistleblower: claims to have detailed information based on conversations they witnessed (and recorded) first hand but no actual details are included. This Twitter post also doesn't have an attachment of a transcription of the alleged recordings either so that's out the window as well.

Provincial statues don't spell out rights. Here's a refresher for you below. Guide to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms - Canada.ca Provincial statues spell out restrictions. They say what must be done and what can't be done. They don't impart rights. I know you don't understand how the constitution works or what the charter is... Do we need to have another talk about what the constitution and charter is? Here's a rule of thumb. Anything that has a penalty associated with it is probably not a right.

1. Like Joe Biden, whom you also would've voted for. lol 2. A woman is a human being that identifies as a woman. -- Braindead Dog

And then he'll call the Hillary Hotline and b*tch about the 1st and 2nd Amendments. lol

Valid point. The piece of shit needs to come right out and explain what he thinks a woman is.

This is the equivalent to someone arguing cars catch fire using the Pinto as evidence.

People are voting for that Orange Baboon, not the Republican Party. It's nothing but sycophants and weaklings now, and most of them can't get re-elected if they speak out against him. Look at how they scramble and cope with all of the batshit things he says, desperately trying to reconcile it with reality somehow. "Okay, they weren't literally kidnapping and eating pets, but Trump was rightly pointing out the immigration crisis in Springfield..." 🙄

LOL From the article: "Scientists have found evidence that some face masks which are on sale and being used by members of the general public are laced with toxic chemicals." From the article your article references: "Top German scientists have found that wearing certain types of face masks for long periods of time could result in potentially hazardous chemicals and harmful microplastics being inhaled deep into human lungs." So not masks in general, specific shitty made in China fabric masks.

A. Zelensky is in the US for the UN General assembly. B. While here, he visited a munitions factory that is literally making the ammunition that is keeping his country in the fight. C. The GOP can invite Bebe, but Zelensky causes you outrage? D. Did you REALLY just ask what the difference is between colluding with enemies of the US to influence an election and hosting one of our democratic allies?

YOU know the truth from your ass because your HEAD is UP your ass, and THAT is the truth. It's also up the left's ass - you sort of switch back and forth depending on when you take your orders from the hivemind.

Except robo-dweeb.

It's non CONFIDENCE. I would agree but it will be a majority government.

Do it. YOU can deal with the french we'd be happy to be part of the states for the most part in the west EDIT: now that i think about it you DID try that once and DID blame us I recall that didn't go so well for you. Despite the odds we kicked your asses back across the line and burn down your white house. I see you've managed to rebuild it. It's very nice. Shame if something happened to THIS one....

Her Oprah interview was mildly disastrous. I think she's going to carry forward with Biden's basement strategy. Hide in the basement and hope that trump talks himself out of an election. She's still doing scripted things here and there but you're just not going to win over the undecided with that. That kind of thing can motivate your base but you need to go beyond that. She is out spending the republicans right now by an insane amount for advertising. She may be hoping that will take care of it. But I see she was down a little bit today

Margaret Atwood wrongly called this "Survival". Russians - Bulgarians - survive. We Canadians get along. Malgré tout, on réussit à s'entendre.

Of course it does. If i state a fact it's a fact. I've demonstrated already to both you and moonbat (who didn't realize what the constitution was) that rights spring from the constitutional documents, not provincial or federal law. And i've linked to those documents and shown there's nothing in there that gives landlords rights. There's also nothing i found in the tribunals. But YOU are the one making positive claims. YOU say there ARE rights. I've already proven provincial and federal law aren't "rights", they're restrctions. And you haven't been able to come up with a single right. I guess you're the kind who feels if they lie hard enough somehow magically your fairy godmother will appear and waive her wand and make it true Yes, that's my point. Your premise is NON SENSICAL! Well done.

You are only one of several people who draw me in to the long drawn out tit-for tat posts which I type on my phone when I’m just killing time somewhere but Ive decided it’s just a massive waste of my time and attention. Sorry the MAGA movement is famously fact immune. Even in those rare moments when MAGAs will actually admit that a Trump claim is false without screaming conspiracy (like immigrants eating dogs) they just say “so what,” getting fooled by lies and fake news doesn’t phase them because for MAGAs it’s not about facts and never was. Admit it, it would be impossible for you to drop your support of Trump in response to any facts that surfaced. You would either refuse to believe them or arbitrarily decree them irrelevant so you could dismiss them. Even your participation in this thread is an example, you refuse to acknowledge the thread topic which is about the latest Repervlicans getting busted as pervs

Yes we have the new type of capitalism which is called neoliberalism, we’ve been over this many times. Reagan and Thatcher were not it’s creators but the first to implement it and made many unprecedented reforms. Yes the economy grew and the mega-rich got even mega-richer as did corporations. But the middle class did not share in the prosperity and in fact working longer hours and both spouses working, lack of retirement savings became the norm as unions were busted and pension and retirement benefits disappeared. Consumer protections were rolled back, jobs were outsourced overseas, university tuitions skyrocketed, household debt skyrocketed and so on. And yes I am saying that Liberals and Democrats haven’t been able or willing to reverse neoliberalism, which for 40+ years and counting still remains the consensus of the business establishment and most mainstream politicians of either party. Only in very recent years has there been cracks showing in this establishment consensus and much of the debate is not about ending neoliberalism but rather about taking the harsher edges off it to make life slightly easier for the working and middle classes Every Republican president since Reagan including Trump has massively increased national debt with their massive tax cuts that’s just a fact, all spouting the same neoliberal trickle-down propaganda as Brownback and Truss. Funny how republicans are never opposed to debt when Republicans run it up worse than the Democrats do The thing is what’s considered “high taxes” is subjective and arbitrary. Many third world countries have low taxes nobody holds those places up as ideal. For example businesses that require educated workers would rather pay taxes in a jurisdiction with quality schools and universities than a place where there are none. Business also rely on law and order, functioning, non-corrupt legal systems where they can enforce contracts sue people including the government, and functioning non-corrupt financial systems so they can safeguard their money. They rely on a great number public services and utilities which they expect to be reliable and well-regulated, such as roads plowed in winter so they can ship their goods and workers are able to get to work. The list goes on. It’s ridiculous to suggest that having access to these services hurts the economy. Go take a look at any country that has few government services and regulations and tell me which ones have great economies. I will say again there is no example in history of any developed country running consistent balanced budgets over an extended period with the possible recent exception of petro-states in the Persian gulf and Norway where oil revenue is largely owned and controlled by the state. Other countries like Canada have run austerity regimes over 10 or so consecutive years but usually at great cost to citizens who had to suffer crowded and closed hospitals, schools, defunded military etc and ultimately it’s not sustainable. USA has not consistently balanced budgets since the 1800s and yet became the world’s unrivalled superpower, the more the government spent the wealthier it became. The same can be said of the British empire and most other nations.

But what did happen was Covid, and what did happen was that Trump managed the pandemic very poorly, engaging in all sorts of ridiculous conspiracy theories, eschewing effective public health policies, proposing pseudoscientific treatments and spending trillions of dollars more than any President in history.

I was recently in Pusan. ===== America won the Cold War. Koreans are weird.

Yeah I call out the Republicans in this thread because the pattern is that whenever there’s a thread about a Republican pervert or criminal in the news none of you will show up to comment then in other threads you’ll act as though these things never happen when in fact Republican perverts and criminals are far more common the Democrat ones. I honestly prefer not to spend the ungodly amount of time you do in long line-by/line rebuttals anymore especially against fact-immune ideologues.

You sure spend an awful lot of time talking about something you don't care about

You're doing the mirror again Kid, the fact that i don't rise to your sealioning only means that i'm a little smarter than you are . I post facts and links all the time but there's no need to point that which has been plastered all over every news site and even this forum and in fact this very thread. And which you can verify in less than one second on your own. Even asking for it is a sign of desperation. It's like demanding PROOOOOF the sign rises in the east and not the west. (robosmith... staaaaaaare) You're a bad actor and not serious about discussions. THe amount of work anyone's prepared to spend on you is going to be pretty minimal. If information is harder to come by and not well known then sure, i make the effort but something that's already been shown 10000 times? Nope, that's on you kiddo. Learn to read. I knew what it was to begin with. You figure out what an affidavit is? Here's a hint - it's not somewhere you'd put a transcript LOL - you literally didn't know that did you You just thought you could dump anything you want into an affidavit and that would make sense God its like "debating" a 4 year old sometimes

Is electing a comedian to be president of your country to start a war with Russia radical? Is having a Nazi Battalion in the army too radical for Mr Zelenski? Is it worth all of these lives just to get Ukraine into NATO, or is that kinda radical? Maybe he is trying to use urban slang: "The Vancester is like, way to raaad, bruhhh."

Yes you can. In fact, if you did, people could only guess how stupid you are. Since when has history had any bearing in a leftist's thought process? FYI actual history is based on actual facts, and they're anathema to the likes of you. This entire THREAD is about people saying that Trump is somehow 'unfit to serve' after he just served America perfectly well from 2017-2021. Furthermore, none of these '111 dinguses' bothered to mention that Biden is completely unfit to serve right at this very moment, and has been for years. He's just a shambling mess of a man. He forgot that he was introducing the PM of India yesterday. ^That guy^ is "fit to serve" by your definition 🤣 Are you taking to clouds right now dummy?

Let's out it this way: I bet he's a shitty poker player.

In a system where the wealthy get tongue bathed and the most destitute must rally to obtain the basics of life, the middle class has been ignored for decades. Time to speak up and engage our brains and the majority of ballots and choose people who actually represent us. HINT: it's not the people who've kept us fighting against each other and ruled for centuries.

So you interpret that as "woke" do you? Nice try. As you have absolutely no idea of why the other person was there, you have no idea of why he got ahead of you. So just toss shit into the wind to justify your complaint. Black Dog beat me by mere seconds....

Meh...people like Hodad make up history and truth to suit their purposes. That's why they have to lie so much.

You think and write like a caveman and call other people stupid? Man you need to evolve some self-awareness already.

You're saying it's not??? The whole system is compromised. The courts, the media, the FBI, the administration...all run by lizards.

Your audience is yourself, and nobody else...so I guess you're right in a way. 🤡

Well we had 40 years of wealth redistribution under Reagan/Thatcher’s neoliberal economics that introduced a new form of predatory capitalism that never existed before. It still governs how our economies operate. Corporations and the ultra rich have seen their fortunes increase by orders of magnitude, all at the expense of the middle and working classes. Tax cuts aren’t the magic solution conservatives claim they are. Just look how Liz Truss and Sam Brownback devastated their respective economies with tax cuts that simply drove up public debt but didn’t bring in new business. Kansas literally had to close public schools on Fridays because Brownback’s tax cuts left the state too broke to even operate schools 5 days per week. In turn parents had to quit their jobs, switch to part-time or spend big bucks on day care making people’s financial situation worse. Liz Truss caused the British pound to drop like a rock and was forced to resign so quickly her 3-week term famously couldn’t even outlast a head of lettuce. Businesses aren’t gypsy hobos who will relocate at the drop of hat chasing whoever happens to have the lowest tax rate at any point in time. Relocation costs millions, tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars up front and is often the result of extensive multi-year planning and corporate strategy, in which tax rates aren’t usually the primary consideration. Neoliberal austerity also gives you social and urban decay like streets that are gridlocked and public transit and airports that are unreliable and overcrowded. That drives businesses and talent away too.. It should be noted that both the poverty rate and child poverty rate drastically reduced under the Trudeau government. At last count, 2 million Canadians including 650,000 children were lifted out of poverty since 2016. And when stay at home parents are able to afford daycare and return to the workforce that is good for the economy too, conservatives talk about it like childcare money is simply shot into outer space or something. I posted this same article as the OP in the “economy” topic, the gist of the article is business and government alike notoriously squander resources amd advantages on non-innovative endeavours

Oh you sweet innocent child. This is way too smart and complex for the person you're responding to.

This is so easy.... She said that more than two weeks after the bodycam footage of Floyd's arrest was leaked. I.e., she didn't say that until after the G Floyd riots were over AND after she was named Biden's running mate. It's basically a revisionist history speech, dummy. She waited until the 3 years of BLM rioting under Obama were over, and the 4 months of G Floyd rioting were over, and then she suddenly made a distinction between supporting rioters and supporting protesters. So the Dems changed from their pro-riot stance of the past 8 years to a "We want to get elected, so riots have to go on pause for a while" stance and guess what? The riots went away. All it took was for the Dems to stop inciting them and supporting them and they went away for the last 4 years. long before she said what you quoted there, she pimped a bail fund to help the rioters out of jail so that they could get back on the streets. Or do you think she was bailing out peaceful protesters? Actions speak louder than words, dummy. Were you honestly dumb enough to fall for what she did there? Don't be afraid to admit it, almost all Demi supporters were. I'm pretty sure that everything I just said there just bounced off of your confirmation bias's Iron Dome, so just ruminate on this: by your logic, Trump could come out right now and say "There should be no rioting at capitol hill, ever", and it would count as if he said that to prevent the J6th almost entirely peaceful and joyous celebration of democracy. Do you get it, you stupid piece of crap?

Does this place look like it has moderators to you lol

But Trump says “he only hires the best people “ Are you calling your cult leader a liar and saying he can’t be trusted to hire qualified people for the most important jobs in the country? Also few of these 111 people wrote books and they weren’t all fired. Many quit in disgust or frustration or actually managed to last until the end of Trump’s term.

I'll give you an example: annual flu shots. Public health experts have long assumed flu shots were effective in the elderly. But, paradoxically, all the studies done failed to demonstrate an acceptable benefit. Instead of considering that they, the experts, could be wrong – instead of believing the scientific data – the public health experts assumed the studies were wrong. After all, flu shots have to work, right? An important and definitive “mainstream” government study done nearly a decade ago got little attention because the science came down on the wrong side of the narrative Big Pharma was promoting. It found that after decades and billions of dollars spent promoting flu shots for the elderly, the mass vaccination program did not result in saving lives. In fact, the death rate among the elderly increased substantially. So the NIH launched an effort to do “the” definitive study that would actually prove, for the first time, once and for all, that flu shots were beneficial to the elderly. The government would gather some of the brightest scientific minds for the research, and adjust for all kinds of factors that could be masking that presumed benefit. But when they finished, no matter how they crunched the numbers, the data kept telling the same story: flu shots were of no benefit to the elderly. Quite the opposite. The death rate had increased markedly since widespread flu vaccination among older Americans. The lead author of the study, Lone Simonsen, had agreed to do an on camera interview with the media on her study results, which she felt were very important. However, her bosses at the National Institutes of Health blocked the interview. However, here is her commentary on her study: Commentary: Benefits of influenza vaccine in US elderly—new studies raise questions | International Journal of Epidemiology | Oxford Academic (oup.com) Dr. Walter Orenstein was among the first to notice the problem when he headed up the Centers for Disease Control’s national immunization program. Below is a transcript of his 2006 interview with Sharyl Attkisson of CBS News: In that interview, this part was quite prophetic: So what’s an older person to do? The CDC says they should still get their flu shots. That it could make the flu less severe or prevent problems not reflected in the total numbers. But watch for CDC to likely shift in the near future more toward protecting the elderly in a roundabout way by pushing to vaccinate more children and others around them who could give them the flu. And here's the study: Impact of Influenza Vaccination on Seasonal Mortality in the US Elderly Population | Geriatrics | JAMA Internal Medicine | JAMA Network In our study, however, we examined influenza-related deaths in the entire US elderly population by estimating seasonal numbers of excess all-cause deaths. These estimates, which provide the best available national estimates of the fraction of all winter deaths that are specifically attributable to influenza,5,28 show that the observational studies must overstate the mortality benefits of the vaccine. For the 33 seasons studied, influenza-related mortality (excess all-cause mortality) was always less than 10% of the total number of winter deaths among the elderly (Table 1). This period included the 1968 pandemic and the severe 1997-1998 season29 during which the mismatched vaccine formulation provided little protection30; for both of these seasons, the estimated influenza-related mortality was probably very close to what would have occurred had no vaccine been available. We conclude, therefore, that there are not enough influenza-related deaths to support the conclusion that vaccination can reduce total winter mortality among the US elderly population by as much as half. Our findings indicate that the mortality benefits of influenza vaccination may be substantially less than previously thought but for different reasons among different age groups. Here is an Italian study showing the same results as the other countries: Influenza-related mortality in the Italian elderly: No decline associated with increasing vaccination coverage - ScienceDirect I work in healthcare during H1N1 and asked the doc I worked for if I should get that shot or other flu shots and he told me NO. He said he saw no benefit in annual flu shots to his elderly patients and that in many cases, he saw their health went downhill because of them. He would give them the shot if they wanted it, but he never pushed it on his patients. The doc I worked for was one of the VERY FEW I saw who actually kept up with medical studies. Most docs get their info from MSM, just like you do. And from Pharma reps who visit them regularly and give incentives for prescribing their drugs. This is also worth a read: Education: Flu Vaccine - Physicians for Informed Consent So, yes. I think all vaccines should be independently re-evaluated.

No, the CNN article talked about how all of the media was so wrong about the Steele dossier. You just don't want to believe it because your fantasy world won't allow it.
