For god's sake man.... NOBODY is going to want to vacation in Minnesota

It's not my fault that you want to brown the entire f*cking planet. Go join an indigenous tribe somewhere.

and that my dear sir is a prime example of pettifogging. Well done.

Remember when these bums were calling Trump "TACO" - Trump Again Chickens Out" - because he wouldn't do something. Now of course, when he does something, they are crying and whining too. It never ends with these pettifogging fools. BTW - Lincoln used this phrase in the movie "Lincoln" (2012). He was talking about the "pettifogging Tammany Hall hucksters" that were preventing the 13th amendment from being passed to abolish slavery and free the slaves, from Democrats of course.

There are certainly precedents for what might have happened to Nurul Amin Shah Alam. Enough to cause concern and an investigation. Consider the deeply disturbing, historical, and, in some cases, ongoing pattern of misconduct involving the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and municipal police forces, primarily in Saskatchewan, where Indigenous individuals have been abandoned in sub-zero temperatures, often referred to as "Starlight Tours" Baltimore Police are known for "Rough Rides". While not involving the cold, the practice of rough rides—where police intentionally drive a transport van erratically to injure a shackled, unbelted suspect—has been cited as a comparable form of extrajudicial "street justice." The 2015 death of Freddie Gray is the most prominent U.S. example of this. Whether it was through incompetence, negligence or indifference is moot at this point, only the Border Patrol officers will know for sure - in any case the practice of police just dropping people off the way Nurul Alam was given his circumstances should not be something that is allowed to happen again. Protocols and measures need to be in place that prevent it.

Well, we come here for at least the semblance of a debate. But you're right. Perhaps I should pick my battles more judiciously.

Stupid thread.

Yet again, F35's have performed very well in the recent operations against Iran. It's clearly a very capable aircraft. Stealth is a huge asset. I'm no expert on aviation matters, but based on what I've read, the F35 is the better plane. And Mark Carney has shares in Lockheed Martin.....

I'm guessing you didn't bat an eye when at least 16 other people froze to death in Mamdani's city very recently.

The Democrats looked like complete fools with their terrible behavior at the SOTU. Talk about a disaster.

Federal Liberals pride themselves on being "in the know". Well, Carney was in India when Trump attacked Iran. Clearly, Trump did not consult nor even inform our PM of what he planned to do.

Moira - the wife/mother in the Schitt's Creek series, played by Catherine O'Hara - loved using obscure old words, the most useful of which imo is pettifogging. It's a 1-word term for "ignoring the elephant in the room". Right now Trump is leading one of the most successful military campaigns in the history of the world *knock on wood*, and all leftists can talk about is anything else. Threads like "Twumpo did this 😭" and "Twumpy did that 😭" are all over the place here, but he actually never did any of "this or that", leftists are just lying as usual, and the sad fact is that there's not a leftist here who can say "the ayatollah was bad", or "Go 'Murica!". Ask a leftist if it's bad that women get whipped and sent to jail for showing some hair and they'll just change the topic. Then they wonder why we hate them more than cancer.

I just realized that carney is out in India right now trying desperately to get some deals and grab media attention to keep himself propped up in the polls . But right now every scrap of media is going to be about Iran. Anything he does will get minimal reporting time no matter what unless he winds up attacking them militarily. All that work and effort just completely went into the crapper. On top of it all half the country is going to be criticizing him for not condemning Israel's attack as they will see it on the other half will be criticizing him for the fact that government just admitted it has nothing to send to help with this if it wanted to He must be so pissed right now

1. 2. 3. Note to self - Robotsimth doesn't understand ironic humour. Also he's a mean bear, who likes to insult poor little conservatives like me...

Well you were the one that suggested it so I had no idea you were a smitten cop lover. you "WELL THE COPS CAN TELL US!" Me "the cops DID tell us" you "IF YOU BELIEVE THAT YOU MUST BE SOME SORT OF COP LOVER!!! Ok kid

......... the evac of Afghanistan was fk'd up .......... that's on Biden ....... but it did happen, the TROOPS were grateful it happened and it saved lives. ........

Wait - Hodad is "female" (I use the term loosely)....interesting. So now when she posts all I see is this: Robo and his bro RoboJohnston How about a federal judge starts looking up these anti-ICE scumbags once and for all, as they should have been in the first place?

from whom? Jane Fonda?

How are you keeping score? With the bombing of the girls school, Trump's killed about 14x as many children. But on the other hand, only 4 US troops have died so far, so he's lagging behind there. Do you think he'll catch up? And the big question: once all the killing is done and the defense contractors have cashed their checks, do you think Trump will give Iran back to the oppressive Islamic regime the same way he gave Afghanistan back to the Taliban? I guess we'll see which is better when the totals are tallied. 🙄

well then stop posting the Marxist porn and lies so I can go back to two handed typing.

I'm guessing this took you twice as long to type since you're only working with one hand now.

Well it actually does mean that, but if you are going to lie and call the brave officers of ICE "thugs", and you claim that they are "terrorizing cities" when in fact they are arresting the people doing actual terrorizing of cities while raping children, then you are truly a fool, who has drunk the stupid kool-aid of the Left, and might as well get your nosed pierced and dye your hair blue, while gaining 50 pounds.

This is the same stupid--truly, deeply stupid-- specious argument that you people apply to everything: If you don't like masked ICE thugs terrorizing your cities, it means you are pro-pedophile! If you don't like waging a unilateral war of choice in the ME, it means you support the Ayatollah! If you don't like the voter suppression in the SAVE act, it means you want to cheat at elections! It's too simplistic to be sincere critical thinking error. Kids outgrow this kind of thinking around middle school. Functional adults aren't going to do it in earnest. No, this is cynical speciousness. You don't care if it's a dumb premise and you sound like a fool saying it, as long as you can demonize someone with whom you disagree and have a nice circle jerk with your buddies. -- Wouldn't it be more satisfying to acutally come up with an intelligent and defensible argument? For the record, I haven't seen anyone in the US say that the Ayatollah was anything but a villain. (Nobody was confused that Saddam Hussein was a bad guy either.) But--and I can't believe I have to say this explicitly--it is entirely possible to achieve "right" outcomes through "wrong" actions. And it's equally possible to achieve positive outcomes and still end up at a net negative.

The Demi cult leaders are pushing back against this war hard. They see it going successfully, which hurts Pelosi's heart more than it hurt Khomanei's, and the Dems' own input was zero because Omar, Tlab and Jefferies, etc obviously couldn't have been trusted with any info at all about it, so the only way the Demis can score any points at all is by attacking Trump, otherwise they lose this one 100-0. Now the LPoC/Demi cultists here are between a rock and a hard place. They have to find a way to say 1) I HATE the war without 2) hating Carney for supporting the war. Cdn Left4rds: "THIS WAR IS RACIST, BUT uhhhhhhhh... CARNEY FULLY SUPPORTS THE TINY NON-RACIST ASPECT OF IT 😬 👀"

You're too IGNORANT to figure out that MANY KNEW Trump would abuse his authority for mainly PERSONAL GAIN. AKA protect HIMSELF from repercussions of his PAST CRIMES. May I suggest that you start THINKING before posting strong evidence of YOUR IGNORANCE. LMAO

More bullshit. You still can’t answer how the Border Patrol had anything to do with his death.

You work very hard at typing a lot of words but not saying anything.

I think the latter. Religion is inherently irrational, and so are its true believers. Any nuclear arsenal wielded as an extension of religious authority--the smiting hands of ill-conceived gods--cannot be trusted to play according to game theory. The "D" in MAD only concerns Earthly destruction, and that's not an effective deterrent to anyone who believes that they are taking direction from the creator of the universe.

OK, then cite what is being reported on n the article to answer the questions and demonstrates how his death has anything to do with this. Now you are just engaged in a very weak form of circular reasoning and avoiding having to defend your baseless assertions.

None:

We're shooting down our own drones at the border and our own planes in the Middle East. WTF is going on. @John Stone I'm seeing very little here to signal that this is driven by good intentions, or that Trump has ever done anything for reasons that weren't grounded in self interest. Even now, with troops at risk and civilian casualties he's talking about this like it's revenge for a personal grievance (Iran's attempted election interference).

"propped up in the polls"? Seriously?You seem to be confusing him with another Canadian politician. And if there's an India-Canadian trade deal, that's a good thing, regardless of the Media.

Apparently before the a/c departed, U.S. citizens were taken off the flight. The 'Canadians' killed in the shoot-down were a mixture of naturalized/ dual citizenship. The shoot down was no mistake, it was a terrorist act. Iran didn't recognize their dual-citizen status. Condemn Carney? He should be applauded.

Not true we ordered MQ9 Skyguardian drones with munitions in 2023 and delivery of the first one is coming up. There are several drone projects underway with the army and navy. It’s actually a bit of a goldrush environment right now with all the money being handed out for drone and counter-drone tech. But yes we are playing catch up and still have a way to go.

Stop with the bullshit. You have no idea what Carney’s investments are. Furthermore, Carney’s assets are in a blind trust so he doesn’t know either. There’s ZERO evidence Carney has made any decisions based on personal profit. Meanwhile your hero Trump is on the take like no western leader in history openly taking bribes in plain sight and you don’t say a peep you shameless tool.

LOLOL Holy crap, triggered leftist zucchini boy is triggered!!! Geez @Reg Volk, I think you hurt his feelings!

Was your point the 'judge rules' or the free healthcare? Maybe I did miss it...

Conservatives are pro-business. Business is pro-profit. Profit doesn't care about your borders. Wake up.

You call EVERYTHING bs or pretend you don't understand something - one or the other ad nauseum. Running in circles is no different than running away.

.............. probably use the downing of Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752, Jan 8th 2020 as justification for supporting this military action.......... Fifty-five Canadians and 30 permanent residents were killed when Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corp shot down the passenger plane in the skies over Tehran with a pair of surface-to-air missiles.

Werent they the ones that hosted that sad boycott of the SOTU, which only made liberals look crazier and no one showed up.

This Meidas touch crap is just disgusting. Only the dumbest people I know watch these videos, as they wallow in hatred with their fellow TDS cult members. BTW - did we really need a new thread for this crap? We already have two Iran threads going already. So dumb.

OK, give us the CPI numbers. What was inflation when Biden was in office compared to now?

You are still not answering any of the questions to back up your claim. Just admit you were full of shit.

I think he had some hard decisions there and I think the us would have been very angry at him if he didn't. So he was kind of backed into a corner. But he's definitely going to get some pushback and this is what people will be talking about instead of his india trip. I'm already seeing posts from the left who point out Sweden and France and a bunch of other European countries i've come out against the action, and they all comment on how this is supposed to be the coalition that carney claims to be leading yet they could do the right thing and he couldn't. He's already catching some flock for his trip to India because a senior unnamed official had said that India was no longer conducting any Trans country terrorism more activism, and many still believe that they are. Carney has not been willing to say one way or another which just makes him look sus. So even if a trade deal comes out of this I don't think anyone's going to notice.
