OftenWrong

Politics is theatre. I would be surprised if recordings are NOT made every time the POTUS talks to someone on the phone. Same goes for the PM of Canada. It's reasonable to believe that recording every conversation is standard procedure. That doesn't mean the media is entitled to hear these recordings on demand. Nor is the president under oath to admit they exist. Saying they don't exist could simply be more "theatre".

Poor fella. It must be hard to accept that people would prefer a Donald Trump over the likes of Hillary Clinton, or worse yet Nancy Pelosi. You leftists fall short when you blame someone else for your failings, never yourselves.

What part of "Sorry but people just don't share your views anymore." am I misunderstanding then.

No duh. My concern is the over-reaction. She'd be wise to go into hiding, the way she's been excessively vilified by the media. They even managed to blame this incident on Donald Trump... which is possibly more important to explaining the hype than the story itself.

It seems you are quite biased. Plenty of people share these views, like it or not.

OftenWrong forgives you.

Yes I did, why

Canadian news carried the story yet again yesterday, claiming the video has "gone viral, sparking outrage across Canada". The danger now is if the woman's identity leaks out, she might be attacked for her words. Same goes with repeated presentation of videos of police officers involved in a shooting. The role of media should not be to hype stories to the point of inflaming the public, causing mass unrest.

Everyone has opinions. They only matter in some cases, like questions about interpreting law or in politics. For questions about history, actual events, opinions matter little. We all want the facts. We only have the information that's been provided, in this case by western intelligence agencies. You people amaze me. OftenWrong makes a statement and several leftists pile on, demanding proof. Links are given, information is given. People don't like the information, so they attacked the messenger instead. One guy got so upset over it he put me on ignore. I've seen leftists deny reality, ignore the information and hope it goes away. It won't of course. Finally reality is a plane crashing into your building, taking it down.

I already debunked this nonsense, and you know it. You had a chance to talk real science and instead you ran away. Stop lying.

Being in the center these days is like walking a knife edge.

I'm not sure about the legalities behind it. I think the videos had people's faces blurred out, if I recall correctly, so at least they tried to protect her identity. But to go on and on about it is certainly not fair. Forgiveness is not a virtue, neither in Islam nor among the left.

Three days in a row, CTV News will not stop talking about it. They keep interviewing the guy who took the video, whose name I can't remember but was unpronounceable. He got to be interviewed on TV for three days, along with other witnesses. Oh the outrage. This woman should be given a little slack. She was really upset about her son's treatment, and sometimes that just makes people lose it. As for brown teeth, I understand what that means. I work with a PhD who's from the Middle East and has that problem. Not a bad guy but definitely dumb, I have to watch his every move. Lack of dental hygiene would concern me too if he was my medical doctor.

I recall the transcript of his statement saying he saw no evidence that implicated Donald Trump. Doesn't mean there wasn't some attempt at interference by the Russians. There most likely always is.

The evidence may be circumstantial, however the link goes deeper than just AlQuaeda and Hezbollah. Some examples: - Officials of the Iranian government helped arrange advanced weapons and explosives training for Al-Qaeda personnel in Lebanon where they learned, for example, how to destroy large buildings. - A Judge found that Iran used front companies to obtain a Boeing 757-767-777 flight simulator for training the terrorists. - Ramzi bin al-Shibh traveled to Iran in January 2001 - An Iranian government memorandum from May 14, 2001 demonstrates Iranian culpability in planning the attacks. This was called "Shaitan Dar Atash" or "Satan in Flames", and describes a plan to conduct unconventional warfare against the US ("Great Satan" as the Iranians call it) including crashing hijacked airplanes into, specifically, the WTC, Pentagon and White House. I make no claims to the validity of this information either way. It is what it is. I am just a guy typing on my computer in my living room.

I went with defense stocks for my portfolio. Expect they'll do a lot of business in the next few years... as always. I sleep better at night because of it.

He can't answer right now, he's facing Mecca

His argument is collapsing under its own weight. Poor fella.

Still waiting

Waiting for the calculations, so we can have a nice discussion.

Those calculations are simple, if you want to add more precision go ahead.

Almost a daily occurrence now. As the Mayor of London said, get used to it. It's the new normal.

No need for me to talk or dance. Links were provided showing that the US security apparatus identified Iran as being involved in 9/11, for more than one single reason. They feel strongly enough about this to levy a hefty fine on Iran, though at this stage no money has been collected. It's fine for you to believe whatever you want regardless of facts, but do not blame or slander me just because I am aware of this and you are not. You and kactus are allowed to deny the truth. ... unless you have evidence to the contrary?

Good question. The article implies that Trump is at fault- Cheryl Teelucksingh, a sociology professor at Ryerson University, sees the incident as an example of the kind of "everyday racism" that is "beginning to resurface" in Canada. She said some people are pointing to the election of U.S. President Donald Trump making people feel more comfortable saying things they normally wouldn't.

The answer is not given by you, but by professional intelligence agencies. I'll trust them, not your opinions or preferences.
