As I'm sure you've noticed, this is a common theme around here. Many on the left block anyone who gives them actual logic or reason or makes them look stupid because their arguments lack logic or reason. But let's face it. If they had the nuts to stare facts in the face they wouldn't be liberals in the first place3 points

The swamp can't be drained fast enough. I heard of this and I hope this person was fired, none of this BS investigation that takes 10 years or a write up. I guarantee you if someone in the company I work for did something like that they would be fired in heart beat. Trust me i work in an industry something like this could actually happen. I bet you she deleted all her social media accounts but its too late for her. Its always too late3 points

Went to the theatre last night with a friend and we were looking at the pics and bios of the cast before it started. I pointed one out and said to my friend, "Oh, I remember that guy! He was in The Full Monty last year, remember? He has a great voice." A lady behind me scolded, "They use them/they pronouns." Me: Oh, OK. Sorry. "Them. 🤔 Haves. 🤔 A great voice?" Then to my friend, "Gawd, that sentence makes me sound like I don't know English. 🤣"2 points

OMG...get over it. There was a touch over 200 accounts frozen of the people identified as leaders of a protest, out of the over 5000 banking braches and tens of millions of accounts. Tell me one area of free speech that has been impeded or prevented or censored and the exact censorship bill and where it prevents free speech or censors speech (other than hate speech). You will not and cannot...you are full of rhetorical BS. Your (and others) baseless accusations have been questions many times and to date, no exact and precise answers have been provided....only repetitive BS.2 points

Blown away by the number of people posting how they JUS discovered that it would be them and not the Chinese paying the tariffs on goods. How they will be able to buy an F150 Lightning that they don't want for the same price and not get the 4 person city runabout at all....2 points

Kind of like here in BC. The only rational argument the Conservatives had against the NDP was attacking them on spending and deficits. Then when it came to the crunch they announced they'd spend even more! And they just about won....1 point

Oh FFS have you ever bought or sold a home? Own one? An 'extra' $50,000 makes no differebce? That's what i paid for my first home after homeowner grants and incentives and the mortgage was over $1000 at the time! Why do you think NEW homes are being bought by people who already own a home and are moving up? Why do you think first home buyers aren't looking at NEW homes? The object is to build MORE homes and make ownership affordable. The program addresses new homes a little, affordability not at all. You can'r build a new home on a lot in major cities for under $1 million. Old ones sell for more than that even if you just want the lot.1 point

Well Europeans are very concerned right now that the US is no longer going to be with them and that they would have to face Russian and Chinese aggression alone. If our allies feel this about us it means the reverse will also be true and that they therefore feel less obligated to support us. The US is already right now weaker and more isolated in the world because of Trump.1 point

No, they think economics are kind like the weather in control of the Rainmaker. Trump's success in the first term was in deficit spending. That's not going to work forever, and when it fails we'll see some awful proposals to fix things.1 point

The New York Post is actually great for catching paint droppings, if one were to cover your floor for painting with it. Otherwise it's as useful as turning to "THE REBEL" in terms of journalistic integrity.1 point

I would just ignore him. His love for Trump makes him blind to the reality of the situation. There are quite a few of us who ahve User on "ignore." I find having him on ignore makes browsing this forum a more enjoyable experience.1 point

Iran, Venezuela, .. Russia, China... North Korea, "a very honorable person", remember? why couldn't they have democracy? Another "election", another "connection" a great democratic leader and - what? a miracle? It happens in this world, right? But we made sure that this time around, there will be no simply naive and innocent. Not a chance - we knew everything and we chose deliberately and in full knowledge. So no innocent escapes. So we know it: they won't have democracy because there are no citizens. Tricks and rituals will do nothing for democracy until citizens come or return be it a century, five, millennia or never. No naive excuses. No miracles. Citizens make democracies work and they can drop them to dry and wither. It happened not once. Yes, a fact of history. And a choice, free and fair. And we chose. So own it - no silly pathetic innocence games, now. Miracles will be far and wide to come by. Sure, you knew.1 point

One big flaw in your narrative is that you're attempting to describe the entire thing as being caused by government policy when the vast majority of it was caused by private sector activity. The policy changes made by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in the early 2000 were done to keep up with private sector competition. One way we know it was caused primarily by unregulated private sector activity is because housing bubbles happened in many European countries between 2003-2007 (including Spain, Ireland, the UK, the Netherlands, Denmark, and others). Their mortgages were not being impacted by US federal policies at Fannie and Freddie. The private sector financial shenanigans that collapsed the system were the product of conservatives obsession with deregulation. In the 1980s republicans started trying to repeal the Glass–Steagall act which was a 1930s law separated lending banks from investment banks. They finally did so with the Gramm–Leach–Bliley Act of 1999, which also explicitly banned any regulation of the derivatives market. There were many other deregulation policy changes in the 1980s and 1990s. Not allowing any basic guardrails within a powerful finance industry was foolish and does far more to explain the chain of events that created these bubbles (and why the bubble was magnitudes larger than the actual housing properties involved) not just in the US but in many counties that were utilizing the same finance markets. The FCIC said it best when they concluded that "We had a 21st-century financial system with 19th-century safeguards."1 point

The form it takes and the camouflage it wears is infinitely variable. Because of that, I tend to look closer at the conduct (words, actions, perceived intent etc) of those who insist on invoking over the top Hitler references. For sensible people, especially those who have actually seen, smelled, or experienced the sort of atrocities the name suggests, invoking it in a "white boy Rick" manner utterly fails to resonate. It might be gobbled up by the Herbs and Dogs of the world but that's about it. People in need, those with real pain and real problems sway to more practical concerns and their observations are a result of experience... like this for instance. I can't speak to the voracity of the story, its extent or direct effects, but if true, it's the sort of thing that will burn in the memory of those effected. It's not how you earn votes, win elections or sway opinions... it's how you lose on all three fronts. It's how you brand an entire group with the actions of a few extremists and it's why people will rightly question your willingness to embrace these activists and reluctance to cast them adrift in their own dingy. I'm actually heartened to see that US Democrats seem to attribute their "surprise" loss to "failure to effectively communicate with voters." Hopefully they will concentrate on the packaging, add a few rainbows to the plastic tub that contains their values, and continue to invoke the name of long dead tyrants for many years to come.1 point

Yes, it is the philosophy of a dictator with absolute power who uses violence to quash/kill anyone who opposes him. What is fascist in simple terms? Fascism is a far-right form of government in which most of the country's power is held by one ruler or a small group, under a single party. Fascist governments are usually totalitarian and authoritarian one-party states. Fascism - Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia1 point

I love it. You started this thread 10 hours ago and not one poster from the left probably even knows about this. They are too busy avoiding the truth and facts regarding the Trump win, instead wallowing in left wing Trump conspiracies and Trump derangement. Well folks, this is truth. 3 different attempts on a presidential candidate's life, and arrests made. Now that Trump will soon be in power I will be interested to see these assassination attempts get investigated and pursued to the fullest extent of the law.1 point

now that Trump won, the Ukraine is not going to get support, since Trump is nothing but a Putin stooge. Trump is going to sellout Ukraine so fast, that it will be virtually impossible to repel Russia in 2025. I also suspect Trump will give Putin classified military plans of Ukraine to Russia.1 point

In my entire 34 years of service not once has some senior member told me to get my boots wet so i can focus..Those rookie soldiers that have got their boots wet on purpose when they did not have to, learned that lesson the hard way...every soldier knows you need to keep your feet dry as long as possible, for as long as possiable wet feet get colder very fast, wet socks will chaff the shit out of your feet, cause serious problems in short order...one thing a soldiers does carry is more socks, and if patrolling a lot a second pair of boots... Being a Major one would think he would know what he talking about, but you know what they say, if you know jack shit then you teach or become a project manger........and being a vandoo makes it worse as i know they know better.... The razor purchase makes sense, as the light Infantry traditionally never had heavy weapons' like TOW, 81 mm Mortars, even 40 mm C-16 very heavy weapons takes 3 or 4 guys to haul all that around on foot...So ya hauling heavy weapons around in a small light veh makes sense...but this veh as a source of transport is to noisy, bulky, and in complex terrain will be useless...all the things he talked about....and everything he said about LAV's, is false the benefit of having a 25 mm on a mobile platform out wieghs all the negatives he mentioned.....and then the comment about well we could put on heavy doors and armor but the enemy will just attack with a larger weapon ....makes no sense, if this vehicle is ambushed or engaged they are going to target it with everything they have no one is going to say stop it's a light veh only small arms fire... Anyways he does not sell it very well...i'm sure it is a blast boonie blasting around the training area...but there are many better solutions out there than this rig....and if it was sooo good why are our SF guys not using it...1 point

The freezing of bank and credit card accounts, and the many anti free speech and censorship Bills that have been put forward by the Marxist in Ottawa says to me that this traitor to Canada is a Marxist. In a free and democratic country, those mentioned above would never have come to be. Whether you or anyone else want to believe it or not, the covid hoax and lie was a conspiracy by the big pharma globalists to push vaccines on innocent people. Many people were injured or even died after they took the covid shot. Thanks. I do like to make things interesting and controversial around here. 😇1 point

If we change that, I would prefer a clause that doesn't not give citizenship to children born to parent(s) that are in the country illegally but does not punishment the child for being here illegally. What I mean is that a child born of a mom or mom and dad that crossed the border illegally is not given citizenship. They, also, aren't considered to have violated the law because of what their parents did. The parents and child have to leave. The parents can and should be punished under the law. If someone has legal status, ie a green card, and has a child, that child should be a temporary resident until one of the parent's achieves citizenship, and then the child is automatically granted citizenship.1 point

Reagan and Trump were responsible for huge increases in debt. The last president to balance a budget was Clinton. Republican fiscal responsibility is a myth.1 point
