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

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.1 point

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.1 point

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.😀1 point

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.1 point

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.1 point

Again: You are just playing some dumb gotcha game that Trump didn't say the magic phrase, so lets ignore all the things he actually did to strengthen NATO.1 point

Axe the Tax Polievere.... OK, where is the money going to come from to pay off all the promises and the immense debt Canada has? The Government is not business, it does not earn or make anything to sell so, in order to give something to anyone, it first has to take something from someone or something or some programs. You already paid for everything you have now. Someone or something has to lose to get any of the promised fulfilled.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

Military has been doing this for decades, trucking, or inserting by helo, landing 10 to 15 kms from the objective and then dismounting...You want to get on the X quicker you do that in an IFV and in force, do it in an IFV...nothing is faster across rough terrain....lets remember the army is a combined ops force, and it depends for it's survival on all the branches, tanks, arty, combat engs, helos and fast air...and in some cases Naval assets...very rarely do they act alone, shit even the SF boys rely on support from other military assets... Even mech forces do dismounted ops all the time it is not uncommon to walk in "all night" and attack at dawn, take the objective and either wait for follow up forces, and resupply, very rarely do we bug out unless it is a raid or taking out a target...And if it is a raid then we are taking our IFV with us....1 point

Trump says he can end the war. How? He can pull the rug out from under Ukraine but what can he do to Russia that the US hasn't already done short of military force. My guess is he will do the former. Either the rest of NATO will have to step up even more or Ukraine will be toast and the US will be seen as an unreliable ally.1 point

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).1 point

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 from1 point
