Reuters: Trump administration disbands task force targeting Russian oligarchs To drop all pretenses and keep no illusions: this is material, de facto help to the worst criminal aggressor in Europe since Hitler. Hidden behind the barrage of chaos: but no one can claim just an innocent coincidence. It has begun. Ask yourselves: if Vlad's buddies or/and puppets will come to control America, would it stop in Ukraine? Where would this world end, and we aren't even talking global warming next century but in several years (1933 - 1939)? The Republicans who acquitted the criminal are either quislings or traitors. No innocence, a century on and in such matters. They completely and cheerfully abandoned their constitutional duty to the country and the people and will be despised and regarded with dismay and contempt by generations. No coming back from this shame. The regular folk who fooled themselves into showing or making a point to someone somewhere repeated the same mistake as those in 1933 Germany. No games with this evil, no explanations: it will take all. And the fate of democracy in America, never been this unclear and uncertain. No formal processes will restore the confidence, moral and leadership standing, past this point. We'll just have to see, can American society renew its commitment to democracy - or it did it end right here.

What would scientists know anyways? They're all stoopid. works nights at the Chevron Town Pantry & Gas maybe.

This would not have to be a forced removal of people from the Gaza. The west would in effect be purchasing the Gaza. This would go a long way to ending the conflict in that area. I don't see any other way to stop the fighting originating in the Gaza strip. 1. It could be done by offering financial incentives. Every Palestinian who moves could be paid a certain amount of money. The money could come from the U.S., Canada, other countries, and the U.N. 2. The money could also involve spending billions of dollars to build apartments, and create jobs in the countries they settle in. 3. It seems Hamas cannot be eliminated in the present situation. However, moving them by offering financial incentive may provide a solution. This would mean it would not be compulsory but would be in effect purchasing the Gaza strip. So far nobody in the news media has mentioned the idea of paying billions of dollars to the Palestinians to make it feasible. Part of the payments would have to be used to build apartments and create jobs. All of the money would not be given to the Palestinians directly. Some money could be paid directly to the ones who actually move. Part of the money would have to be retained and only used for the purpose of building new apartments, infrastructure, creating jobs, and communities in the destination countries. At present Jordan and Egypt oppose moving them to their countries. But the financial benefits have not been negotiated. That is the missing key to this. Perhaps if there was billions of dollars on the table, they would be willing to take in the Palestinians. But there would need to be a way to ensure the money was used only for the relocation and building of the homes, infrastructure, and jobs for the Palestinians. Also, the payments to the ones who relocated would have to be ensured somehow. The money could not be just handed over to the countries they moved into.

GOP support for Musk influence with Trump falls dramatically everyone gets what Musk is doing with DOGE. what people don't understand is that he is a bull in a china shop for a reason... to try and pay for the huge deficit Trump is about to blow to extend his tax cuts for the rich. Mush said he could cut $2T in spending... then $1T... i bet he can't leverage more than a few hundred million. not unimportant but at great cost and chaos. a case in point. the recent attempt to get ANY federal workers to quit. its very non-surgical nature is going to be a disaster. every bureaucracy has inefficiencies and its a constant task to identify those and rectify. but it never goes away. will the people who are not productive in the federal service take the "buy out"? no. the people can easily get other jobs the private sector will. the talented people.

the right is turning their own ideology back against "they/them" Identity Politics to the exclusion of all other concerns ? very well then ; I am White Anglo Saxon & Protestant Loyalist Orangemen of Upper Canada, come and take these Colours from our cold dead hands ; we'll fight to the last man woe be to "they/them" whom incite our wrath ; hung from the yardarm with their own rope

Here we go again... Ukraine pushed Russia from surrounding Kiev at the outset of the war, pushed them out of Odessa You want to look at this war with a microscope, acting like the timelines only exist where Russia and Ukraine lines of defense mostly settled in and that only Russia is winning in their slow daily grind that you routinely brag about that will take another 100 years at this rate... They do feel this pain. They are struggling to keep up, they have to scrape up men to fight this war, and they have had to go to extraordinary lengths, even bringing in North Koreans and making deals with them for Artillery.

Evidently you don’t, you just think you are smarter than the scientists who have been measuring melt rates and temperature rises. Gore is not a scientist and his film was nearly 30 years ago yet you think you know everything and the scientists who have been monitoring including NASA know nothing.

Biden never allowed peace talks to proceed. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/09/us/politics/biden-putin-tucker-carlson-peace.html That was the case over and over agin. "You can't end my proxy war, b!otches!"

you mean posts about Trumps "crap for brains". as many as Trump gives me reason to... they're coming in hard every day now. the volume of shit for brains executive actions is truly staggering.

It's really not my fault that you can't grasp the concept of rates. Your life will be very difficult, but no amount of explaining seems to help. And no, consistently, in every survey, climate scientists are in near unanimity. You just cream your pants when you find some heterodox "climate scientist" on the Twitter who tells you what you want to hear. There's really no "debate" to be had on the fact of AGW. Just you loons howling in denial, pretending that all the scientists are conspiring to take away your precious fossil fuels for some unfathomable motive.

My "infobubble" always has real-world stats and facts, right from the Gov't of Canada, while you're left scrambling for ridiculous excuses like "deaths only went up by 36% because infections went up astronomically - that's proof the vaccine w🤡rks!" No, the "97% of climatologists agree" tripe was debunked, and actual climatologists go on record - showing their faces - all the time to call BS on your blatant BS.

Let's see, your last ones turned out to be misleading propaganda. So now I'm inclined to think that you're not a good judge of reality.

You're a crazy person in a crazy person infobubble. Real climate scientists--nearly all of them universally--are shouting from the rooftops. You've just decided it's inconvenient to listen.

I'll bet that the Gaza poll the other way would be almost as high 😉

My bad. Won't happen again.

A liar, stupid, shameless and pathetic. The sovereign territory of Ukraine is recognized by the entire world, including Russia, in multiple signed and executed treaties before the invasion. The conclusion: credibility of this poster down to zero and then negatives. Only a shameless boldface liar. The brand.

No he's not. He's telling the cold truth. You may not like that but...tough titty. The ONLY disputable point @Scott75 has made, is that the "promise to not expand NATO "one inch eastward" of Germany" was never put in writing and the USA has been hiding behind that for years now.

it's baffling why the Liberals wouldn't take this opportunity to drop Woke like a hot rock polling shows that two thirds of Canadians oppose it if the Liberals dropped Woke, they really would be back to neck and neck with the Conservatives

Should have been Justin Trudeau. Thanks.

Who the hell is Jason Trudeau?

You mean after the next election? It's possible. As I asked earlier, what would happen if the conservatives get the most votes of any party but not enough for a majority? Who would join them in a coalition government? If no one, then the liberals get another kick at the can. I predict Carney wins the leadership race, but hopefully Freeland stays on in a top position. She's probably the most effective federal politician we've had in a long time.

Liberals are going to lecture America about "treason" in wartime ? who is going to give the talk ? Hanoi Jane ?

Maybe you see yourself playing dumb games but aside from some poetic licence for humor I answer directly and honestly and have no no need for the fake BS non-sequitur non-responses that you rely on.

Nah. I understand physics. I also understand history. Folks like you and Al Gore have been fear-mongering lies for over 20 years now. Hell, Florida should be mostly underwater by now... LOL

Most woketards figuratively have their heads up the Left's ass - robomarx LITERALLY has his head up the Left's ass.

Trudeau should have immediately convened the premiers to make us less vulnerable to America when he took office. As many have commented on this forum over the years long before I realized it was a problem, we have to sort out barriers to interprovincial trade as an urgent matter. I would favour a free trade group of provinces that keep the old barriers on provinces that don’t join if that can be legally done. On medical portability, we should be able to manage one College licencing doctors for the country instead of thirteen. The Brits do it with a much bigger population and four non-sovereign countries. One downside of doctors grandfathered into the new system - a mad rush by IMGs for Mississauga. And a second problem - I’d much rather somebody from the UK running the new institution than anybody from the Ontario College. That Dickensian body has zero sense of urgency.

One good feature of PR: the national popular vote mirrors the number of seats fairly accurately. Thus regional parties like the BQ have little chance of becoming the Official Opposition which would be an embarrassment we are now less likely to face given the Trump-driven rise in Liberal fortunes. One bad feature (a corollary of the above): wins are not overwhelming. 40% of the vote means 40% of the seats. Canada would need to get over its strange phobia of coalitions to manage this situation.

I gave you too much credit. I thought you would be smart enough to grasp this. China doesn't give two shits about emissions and they are the largest polluter and have been increasing their pollution. If you want to cry about climate change, go cry to them.

Is that an illustration of you botching the baton pass in a Special Olympics relay race? Go work it out in therapy instead of spewing your prolific fiction here.

Woke DEI is getting wiped out like LBJ in the Tet Offensive the Communists utterly annihilated on the battlefield the Democrats totally discredited on the home front

Yup. Crazy times to be alive

He's not destroying democracy. He's destroying your Libbie fantasy.

you're absolutely right! i need to get a life... participating on these threads have inspired me to research the science of logic and how human belief systems work. i have built and sold two engineering companies and have a BSc in Computer Science and a Masters in Data Science and Machine Learning so that knowledge extrapolates and will be a benefit to me in the future. but of course, over time i get that there are only about 6 people on here i'm debating and they will never change their minds about anything. you can ask stoic questions all you like. their very worlds would fall apart if they were to be wrong in any of their manufactured belief systems. and thats good to know too. that people like that exist. so its been easy torturing people when shit for brains Trump is leader of the free world. but of course, when i stop learning so much i'm just wasting my time. there is absolutely no reason to debate someone who has a response like: "When the Catholic church ran the hospitals in this country, it was normal to have volunteers. Women could learn nursing on the job with less time spent in schools. Now there's a huge education industry and a 100% paid nursing industry and we pay for it all." that IS the stupidest post i've ever seen on this entire board. not to single you out. there have been a lot of ignorant excuses for fabricated belief systems. some truly deranged thinking. but it hits me at a low point. you've learned nothing from our talks. the typing is a waste of time.

🤣

Yeah, right. If any of us knew how do that we wouldn't be here scribbling away just to pass time.

Just let him have the last word...

I didn't say anything of the sort. I only pointed out your claim that Biden hired "all of the air traffic people" was incorrect which is supported by the numbers provided by your fellow traveller. I'm not wrong about anything. Only 36% of ATCs working were hired under Biden, significantly fewer than the 100% that you claimed. You made a stupid statement that was easily proven wrong and now you're going to cry and whine for another 40 pages about it instead of owning it like a man, because you're a pathetic loser b!tch. And you sure won't prove that wrong either.

you got me! i don't know what to say... you're a complete !diot.

When the Catholic church ran the hospitals in this country, it was normal to have volunteers. Women could learn nursing on the job with less time spent in schools. Now there's a huge education industry and a 100% paid nursing industry and we pay for it all.

Ukraine should stop trying to force NATO down Russia's throat, unless they like war.

Trump: ’60 Minutes’ should be ‘immediately terminated’ after Harris transcript release “CBS and 60 Minutes defrauded the public by doing something which has never, to this extent, been seen before,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social website. “They 100% removed Kamala’s horrible election changing answers to questions, and replaced them with completely different, and far better, answers, taken from another part of the interview.” a complete lie. Transcripts show ’60 Minutes’ edited Kamala Harris’ remarks during interview 'He asked what the United States could do to end the war between Israel and Hamas. The transcript shows Harris gave a 140-word response that the New York Post describes as “rambling.” However, when the “60 Minutes” program aired, editors cut down her answer to a succinct 56-word reply.' 'In a second example, Whitaker asked Harris about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu charting his own course and defying the Biden administration. The transcript shows Harris gave a 179-word answer. However, “60 Minutes” only used 20 seconds.' every news organization does stuff like this and Trump is probably the most edited politician on earth. Trump is suing for $10B.

wow, what a sh!t for brains this guy is.

You will also give a voice to the fringe lunatic parties that are bound to appear. Just leave well enough alone.

How is this lunatic running ANYTHING, let alone the most powerful country on the planet? This is as crazy as anything you internet randos post--with the caps, spelling and grammar to match. President Camacho is now our reality.

Lol...a lament from a Tweenkie.

Palestinians will always be part of some terrorist group, regardless of where they are in the world....Thats why Arab countries don't want them, they are nothing but trouble....

Is Gaza big enough to make 18 holes or will he settle for a pitch & putt?

Ukraine wins by surviving and continuing the struggle to regain lost territory. The disparity in motivation between the two sides is stark. The Russians will have to go home in the end.

Surprised by what? That you've had to retreat to inane, nonsensical quipping as soon as your clownworld reality gets challenged? Don't be. There's 61 pages of you doing that here. 🤡🤡🤡

They could try dating outside of the immediate family?
