I think you need to call your doctor and get your dosage increased.

Political correctness erodes society. Merit should trump "virtue". Merit over identity is the backbone of liberalism and liberal democracy, of MLK's philosophy. Society has become far too soft. Everyone's feelings are hurt. We need to stop giving everyone's feelings so much attention. Good intentions but bad results. Truth > feelings.

Calling Trump "evil" that he is literally Hitler and is going to destroy Democracy... are nutty things.

If this were the other way around, it would be non-stop 24/7 wall to wall media coverage about how Republicans have caused this environment with all their hateful rhetoric... but since it is Trump... Like, gee, maybe you shouldn't tell everyone that Trump is literally Hitler and if he wins this election it will literally be rounding people up and killing them... Nah... since it is Democrats pushing that garbage, very little will be said.

So your proof that Trump tried to take over the government is a memo that wasn't used, a speech that told people to march peacefully and patriotically and alternate electors that have been used dozens of times before, including JFK. Your lies are so pervasive that you don't even know what reality is.

No. Everything you said is a lie.

There is a place for women in policing and the military. For the most part, these are not overly physically demanding jobs for anyone reasonably fit. Except for that small number of times when they absolutely ARE. And those tend to be the most critical times. Very, very few women are up to the task there due to simple, undeniable physical and biological limitations on them set by nature. And given few women even bother to apply, the DEI effort to get the number up as high as possible leads to people getting taken on and promoted far beyond their abilities and experience. We see that in other occupations, too, like politics, like our federal cabinet, for one.

Left wing talking points? His previous secretary of defense, Mark Esper said he was a threat to democracy, wanted to send troops into the streets to quell demonstrations and riots and wanted to recall retired officers who criticized him to active service so they could be court-martialled. Other White house aides have also said he's a threat to democracy, like Alyssa Griffin, who said “I saw the actual executive order at the end of the last administration, ready to go, that would remake every civil servant into a political appointee and a loyalist to Trump,”. Another White House aide, Cassidy Hutchison said "I think that Donald Trump is the most grave threat we will face to our democracy in our lifetime, and potentially in American history.”His former Chief of Staff, John Kelly said Trump admires autocrats and dictators and has nothing but contempt for democratic institutions, the constitution, and the law. His former Attorney General said Trump will bring only chaos and that he shouldn't be anywhere near the White House. His other defense secretary said "Trump is the first president president in my lifetime who doesn't try to unite the American people, does not even pretend to try. Instead he divides us." His first secretary of state said “(Trump’s) understanding of global events, his understanding of global history, his understanding of US history was really limited. It’s really hard to have a conversation with someone who doesn’t even understand the concept for why we’re talking about this.” His National Security Advisor said “We saw the absence of leadership, really anti-leadership, and what that can do to our country.” These are not the Left wing speaking.

Maybe Trump shouldn't talk about becoming a dictator and putting people in jail, including the media that criticize him, and he and his team shouldn't plan how they'll fire all the neutral public servants and military and federal police and hire only those 'loyal' to Trump, hmm?

Some Americans will definitely believe this. They aren't very bright, nor educated enough to recall any xenophobic, nationalist, authoritarian, narcissists who narrowly avoided assassination attempts. 🤷‍♂️

"Records show he made a $15 donation to Progressive Turnout Project, a Chicago-based political action committee that supports Democrat candidates for public office and claims to advocate for "key Democratic constituencies: young people, minorities and low-income people." The donation was made on the date of President Biden's 2021 inauguration, Jan. 20, 2021." https://www.foxnews.com/live-news/trump-rally-assassination-attempt-july-14

Rahim Mohamed: The attempt on Trump's life has made his re-election all but inevitable If the results of November’s presidential election weren’t already a foregone conclusion, they are now Published Jul 14, 2024 Presumptive Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump looks to be OK after a bullet grazed his ear on Saturday evening, in a failed attempt on his life at a campaign rally in Butler, Pa. Trump, who was already reportedly expecting a landslide victory in November before the dramatic turn of events on Saturday, can now go ahead and start measuring the drapes in preparation for his near-inevitable return to the White House. It’s a done deal, folks. Especially after a photographer at the scene captured a perfectly timed photo of a bloodied Trump raising a fist in defiance while being swarmed by Secret Service agents, somehow standing almost directly under an American flag. It’s an image that will no doubt go down in the annals of history, and one that’s likely to snuff out any remaining hope the Democrats had of keeping Trump from recapturing the presidency. A live shot of the scene caught Trump telling members of his security detail to “wait” before pumping his fist in the air and mouthing the words “fight, fight, fight” to the stunned crowd of supporters. Even people who weren’t fans of Trump beforehand had to be impressed by his grace under literal gunfire. As of this writing, little information has been made public about the shooter. An eyewitness told BBC News that he saw a man armed with a rifle scale a rooftop near the venue while Trump was speaking. The witness claimed the would-be assassin was killed by the Secret Service after opening fire on the crowd. Now juxtapose Trump’s public display of vigour and bravery in the face of a near-death experience with President Joe Biden’s outward feebleness, which looks to only be getting worse as the campaign heats up. Saturday’s events merely solidified the already pervasive campaign narrative, further highlighting the contrast between Trump’s vigour and Biden’s torpor. At this point, it’s doubtful that even swapping Biden out for a stronger candidate can salvage the Democratic party’s chances of holding onto the White House. Trump, who’s shrugged off the myriad obstacles that have been tossed in his way, has now shown himself to be bulletproof — literally. If the results of November’s presidential election weren’t already a foregone conclusion, they are now. Donald Trump will be the 47th president of the United States and just the second president in history, following Grover Cleveland, to serve non-consecutive terms. The election’s outcome has been sealed with a bullet. https://nationalpost.com/opinion/the-attempt-on-trumps-life-has-made-his-re-election-all-but-inevitable

Get a grip you stupid God-damned loser. Dems incited actual violence against police, Republicans, Trump, and everyone who voted for him for the last 8 years now. Michelle Obama incited violence in her grad commencement speech, and last week Jull Biden called Trump evil. Your leftist loser shtick is getting old now you worthless piece of shit.

Biden should be treated as a suspect in the assassination attempt of Donnie and Garland's DOJ should not be leading the investigation

I don't understand how you crazy people keep getting the idea Trump gives a shit about religion. The man has never read the bible, belongs to no church, and has never gone into one except to get married multiple times. And soon after ignore the 'forsaking all others' part of his vows.

You are comparing a bull moose to a fat cow in a diaper?

I've flown UAVs while deployed, very capable, enjoyed the experience, the technology is cool and there's no doubt that having them saved Canadian lives in Afghanistan. Even so, I have this ingrained and lingering "old guy" fear that over reliance on technology creates vulnerabilities and the more you rely on the technology the more you have to account for those vulnerabilities. I've seen the effect of not doing that over and over again. It even applies to everyday life, cut a fibre optic cable by accident and the fallout can be significant. No internet, no 911, no cell service, no banking, no scanning items at the grocery store, no flights other than self dispatch (and airlines don't do that), no gas, etc etc. Huge regional impact right down to traffic lights during rush hour. If the mission computer fails during a critical ASW event now what? Old timers practice this stuff regularly and when they do, young guys on the crew usually roll their eyes. Things like plotting boards and using smoke markers as a visual references sometimes saves the day. If you drop an electrical bus and all you have is INS an immediate switch to maps and lat/ long is easy if you've practiced it. Not so easy if you haven't. The scenarios are endless, I could write a book on degraded ops and ruin your whole day on a check ride... so, while it needs to be practiced, there's no need to be crazy about it. That said, defence in depth is more than just words. The HUD's a great thing, HUD cripples aren't. Sometimes a hand on the stick, one on the throttle, feet on the rudder pedals, lining the target up between your legs and putting grease pencil marks on the canopy wins the day... some here might be surprised at how often it proves true. One thing seems to be a constant though, it's only guys with grey hair that carry grease pencils. Watch for them, if nothing else, the reason they do is sure to be entertaining.

They are already complaining on the CBC that Republicans are politicizing this and that Trump could be a martyr. Even on this particular thread, it didn't take very long for someone to bring up the absurd comparison to Hitler. It's this kind of hateful rhetoric that just adds fuel to the fire.

If it were the other way around MAGA would be telling us it’s a false flag conspiracy. Every political party on earth has fringe hateful extremists but the Republican party has made hateful extremism mainstream This attack doesn’t change that fact. Nor does it change the fact that the heightened tension that has only escalated since Trump first entered the picture in has been primarily driven by Republicans. “Always dial it up to 11” has the been standard MAGA M.O. Would this shooter still have done what he did in a different climate? Maybe. Maybe not. Anyway Trump seems to now have his Reichstag Fire moment, regardless of whether the attack was real (as it seems to be so far) it will be used as justification for previously unthinkable actions by Republicans in the future. Just you wait.

There are reports that Trump is apparently alright at this time. This is the moment that many of us dreaded, when some lunatic with TDS decided to go that extra step.

Many called for stripping him of secret service protection. Joe caller for a bullseye to be put on Trump. Watters called for violence and intimidation against Republicans. And many others Garland has no business leading this investigation

Canada is not a republic, there is no public rule in Canada in this British North American Constitutional Monarchy the Soldiers of the Crown took the Queen's Schilling of their own free will as professional mercenaries for the Sovereign all that matters therein, is Regiment, Colours, Commander-in-Chief and the brothers to the left & right of you that is what it is to be a Royal, that is what Royal means Victoria, Queen & Empress, Mother Canada

Just click the link you posted and click 'property features'. Honestly, man, if you thought a place like that in midtown would go for $315k you don't know anything about property costs in New York. I couldn't even buy a place like that in Ottawa for $315k As for COOPs, I believe it means you own a share of the property but not the property itself. And to repeat, this guy represents Canada and will need a place for entertaining. Which means it has to be central, not out in the boondocks of the Bronx or Queens. Entertaining is one of the main things diplomats do. They entertain, and exchange gossip and talk about deals and problems over wine and dinner. More is accomplished at dinner parties than over a boardroom table. And remember, we own the place. It's not like we can't just resell it at some point and get the money and a profit back,

Just because YOU CLAIM ^THIS, does not make it true. It just makes you IGNORANT of all the plans that went into December 2020 leading up to Jan 6th. That's what happens when you believe FOS LIES. NO EVIDENCE of ^this. Plenty of evidence proving it's a lie.

No, you twit. The memo was "used." They tried to carry it out. WTF do you think Trump was talking about on Jan. 6 with regard to Pence? Why do you think Trump's insurrectionists were calling to "Hang Mike Pence"? The fake elector ballots were literally on the floor of the US Senate before Pence's people rejected them. Literally, the only thing that preserved democracy that day was that Pence refused to participate in the coup.

OMG, are you still pushing this lie? No police officers died on January 6th (the riot at the capitol). None. Zero. Not one. This is why you have me on ignore. Because you push these lies and I repeatedly call you out for them.

Lol. Do you think you're the little boy from the Twilight Zone who can rewrite reality on a whim? Sorry, the facts are the facts. The coup memo exists. The fake electors exist. Trump's Jan. 6 speech exists. And your hand-waving won't rewrite history.

You Libbies begged for it. NOW all the sudden you're worried about abuse of power? LOL... Karma is a cold hearted b1tch...and I here her calling your names.

You can't buy a place in Manhattan that doesn't cost millions. And this will be a place where he entertains important diplomatic, political, and business leaders. Is he supposed to take up residence in a cheap, one-bedroom apartment in Harlem? He and where he lives reflects on Canada in the same way 24 Sussex does. And it's perhaps a metaphor that 24 Sussex is broken because the imbecile in charge of the place can't make a decision about fixing or replacing it.

Because he sucked at the job. Duh

Women who are just as qualified as men to be SS should be allowed. But there's not a lot of SS, so it would be extremely rare for a woman to be the most qualified to be a SS over the most qualified men. Feminists should accept these truths, instead of the lies of "women are just as capable as men" in the physical realm. They support delusions so they don't have to "feel bad". Get over it and deal with reality. Sometimes the truth is uncomfortable. Many didn't want to accept Galileo and Darwin's theories either.

He's not Hitler, he's a Hitler wanna be. Hitler wasn't Hitler BEFORE he was re-elected either. 💡 Trump is a conman, and you've been thoroughly CONNED.

He's not Hitler but he did make every attempt to steal a democratic election that he knew he rightfully lost. So he's an authoritarian dictator at the very least. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trump_fake_electors_plot

The 30 year old shooter was an Antifa member, arrested multiple times for being violent at anti-Trump events. He was not a republican.

Bullshit

This event sounds the death knell for the campaign of whoever opposes “hitler” in November. You hitler conspiracy theorists better ramp up your weak Trump hate. You’ve been using hitler so often in the last decade, it doesn’t whip up public outrage anymore. So what’s left? Stalin? Putin the Second? Good luck fellas.

No. You are responsible. You repeat the same lies Biden says. You believe that sh1t. You may not have directly influenced the ahole, but your actions are no different. You have no idea You didn't influence this guy. You have no idea that your words werent repeated by someone that influenced this guy. You normalize this rhetoric. You are just as responsible. He shot from outside the venue.

OMG, says the guy who put me on ignore after running away from almost every thread we have ever engaged in because you can't handle facts.

Good god. He's right about one thing, there's going to be a whole lotta questions being asked over the next little while. For someone just to be able to climb up on a roof in plain view and take 5 shots at a former president now presidential candidate..... that's unbelievable.

Musk and Trump are both controlling domineering a-holes with mega egos.

https://www.counterpointresearch.com/insights/global-electric-vehicle-market-share/ Oops...looks like the public already made their choice...giggle...

That does not 3xcuse the fear mongering of the Libbies.! They lie to scare people. That is not only lying...it's fcking insidious.

I really shouldn't have to explain how bad a comparison this is. An existential defensive battle for survival against a genocidal opponent is by its nature very different than a aggressive war of choice for the sake of a crooked leader's vanity. Even so, the Soviet Union's human wave tactics were not war-winning or effective. They were clumsy mistakes in the early stages of the war, committed by bad/inexperienced officers that wasted finite manpower and resources, and accomplished little.

I think voters have already made their minds up, Carney may attract some of the votes back to the liberals but at this point in time, whom ever takes over from Justin before the election is going to go down hard...Carney best hopes lies in taking over the party once justin ship is finished burning after the election and try to build his own brand. The last thing we need in this country right now is someone to keep Justins dreams alive...Canadians want a change, not more of justin in another uniform.

That doesn't answer the question asked, robo-bot. Answer the question...honestly...if you can.

Like it or not lefties, ^^that guy^^ isn't an outlier. He's as mainstream as it gets. His reply was the formulaic tripe of the average leftist: rife with snotty insults and completely devoid of anything factual that could be discussed.

Not when it's based on tiny margins in a handful of states. The magnification that the EC gives, can disappear just as easily. Like it did in 2020 over 2016. The real landslide was Biden winning the popular vote by 7 MILLION. FOS LIES paid $800 MILLION for LYING like ^this. And you bought it like a FOOL. Gore conceded. Because the SCOTUS handed the victory to Bush.
