  1. 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 place

  2. 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 late

  3. 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. 🤣"

  5. 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.

  10. Brian Mulroney died a few months ago. What a ponce. I remember Bourassa - cerebral. Levesque, I never met/talked in person. I saw him once in the National Assembly, clicking for a lighter. I recall seeing Trudeau Snr in Alberta. And he said, "We Canadians get along." ====== Canada? We get along.

  11. 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.

  12. Talk about ^LOSER, all fluffy but no pants. You can't even post the title which says the employee WAS FIRED. AKA rogue employee acting WITHOUT AUTHORIZATION. Duh FEMA employee fired after telling relief team to skip houses with Trump signs following Florida hurricane Now we know WHY NYP was posted, cause they LIE BY OMISSION.

  13. 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.

  14. Odd thing happened just now. We are looking after a friends Shih Tzu whilst they're away. So just sat at my computer and she jumps on my lap and looks at the screen. Scrolling through this thread and was reading one of Black Dog's posts when my little dog started growling. Had to laugh but I think it's more than just coincidence.😀

  15. Well, when you can figure out what argument you want to make here and put together some coherent thoughts, let me know. Yes, because that was what the term meant, well, until upset Democrats wanted to stretch it to simply mean Republicans appointing justices to fill existing slots. If this is your argument now, then it has no meaning. Everything appointment is "court packing" Nope, this goes back to ol Chucky threatening to do this under Bush. Ah yes, because you are a coward.

  17. 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.

  18. 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.

  20. This is a fictional creation of your own making, as there is no such presidential immunity. It is also quite absurdly disgusting that you would even suggest something like this. I hope you never pretend to have any moral position on anything on the forum ever again. You don't.

  21. Flu and COVID a couple weeks ago the day they became available. As I understand it the COVID booster for this last shot will be 6 months from now. I can't wait. People are dropping like flies from one thing or another at work. It's the same thing every year. I've had little more than a mild case of the sniffles every couple of years or so for 15 years now. A shingles shot and booster about 13 years ago resulted in the complete cessation of herpes symptoms I used to get when I was younger. Herpes is related to chickenpox and shingles and the vaccine seems to have made it go away. My doctor says I probably still have the virus but in the way I also still carry chickenpox virus, which is to say harmlessly. I know a couple of other people who had the same benefit. I've been getting vaccinated on a regular basis every year since my cardiologist told me don't get sick. Flu, shingles, pneumonia, COVID... I've read a couple of articles that point to the possibility that an ongoing program of vaccination helps maintain your immune system in a steady state of yellow to orange alert against things in general. I'm a believer.

  23. 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."

  24. 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.

  25. 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 encyclopedia

  26. 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.

  28. Which is exactly what the Republican Court has been doing. People often use "court packing" to describe changes to the size of the Supreme Court, but it's better understood as any effort to manipulate the Court's membership for partisan ends. -link This is bullshit, of course. The Republicans' unprecedented decision to hold no hearings or votes on Garland was entirely because they wanted to hold that seat so a Republican could fill it. Simple as. I didn't see your earlier response because I have you on ignore for being boring and stupid. I check in sometimes to see if you're not being boring and stupid (which is rare).

  29. 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. 😇

  31. Funny Side Story: The term troubleshooter or troubleshooting comes from America during the time of the railroads and telegraph lines. Often people would create mischief to prevent the lines or railroads from going through and they would literally hire people to go find anybody who was causing trouble and shoot them That's where we get the term from
