If you believe what they're saying that's your problem. All evidence to this point is to the contrary. Did you ever ask yourself why these concerned politicians don't take any picture or video evidence of these things? And AOC asks how this is related to lack of budget because she's as dumb as a random internet poster. It's related to lack of budget because 600,000 people were caught trying to cross the border illegally in 2019 and the Dems have been busy blocking money from the border.

To be honest, the one thing that I admire from politicians like Trudeau and AOC in the states, is their self-unawareness. If I ever said one thing that was as stupid as pretty much everything that AOC has ever said I would be afraid to show my face in public for the rest of my life. She could hazard a guess that 1+1=Jello and then just carry on acting as if she just invented the wheel.

What makes you think that people should automatically discount something this stupid from Trudeau?

So who was accused? Was it blamed on white supremacists? Muslims? Huffpost isn't getting into the blame game, and there's no way in hell that they're protecting anyone they consider to be islamophobes, so I'll just assume that it was liberal jews who blamed "Trump supportin' nazis!!!!!!"

You aren't lying but you're being as disingenuous as you can possibly be. It's slimy as hell. I do know exactly what was in the dossier: unverified, uncorroborated, information that came from foreign agents/informants who were paid by Fusion GPS with money that they received from Perkins Coie, which came from Hillary, disguised as payments for things that were legal. IE, things that didn't involve collusion with foreigners (something that's theoretically a crime, but only when Republicans are accused of it. When Dems are known to have done it it's somehow ok). I know what was corroborated - nothing that qualifies as evidence of collusion. I also know that Steele leaked information in order for it to come back around as independent corroboration. That's known by the FBI to have happened and it's critical information that they withheld from the FISA court. The GOP initiated the Trump dossier that Hillary paid for, but the covert, overseas part of the dossier was initiated after Hillary took it over. The dossier wasn't "the only reason" why the inquiry was started, but it played a huge role in the acquisition of the FISA Warrant and it's subsequent renewals. More importantly, the validity of the dossier was lied about in order to obtain the FISA warrants. That's not speculation. That's fact. Here's the thing about a properly functioning democracy: the police only investigate people when a crime is known to have been committed. The strategy of "You show me the man and I'll find the crime" is not a part of a functioning democracy. It's also not proper to run a smear campaign against a person in the form of a highly publicized sham of an investigation. Did Mueller find evidence of some sort of crime? He says that he did. But no one with access to all the dirty little secrets of the investigation is being specific about what there is evidence of. If there was a useful amount of evidence of a serious crime then for sure Schiff would come out and say it. Schiff and the Demmies are being vague for a good reason: they don't have anything substantial to talk about.

Back to your original topic, don't you find it incredibly pathetic that out of a whole country full of Democrats there aren't 3 people who you would consider really good candidates? Obama would be a shoo-in for the nomination and yet we all know that the middle east turned into a genocial shithole under his watch, and America was fast becoming a racially divided hellhole until Trump got into office. Maybe Dem voters should see the writing on the wall. Their party sucks.

The fact that it's "uncorroborated" is kind of a big deal, but it's a much bigger deal that they faked corroboration by leaking the story to a reporter and then using the resulting story as corroboration, and that they pretended to have enough intel/evidence to start this whole investigation to begin with and yet at the end they don't appear to have enough evidence to justify the investigation (and it's use as a public smear campaign), let alone make any kind of a case against Trump.

1) Has it been that long since Shady was wrong? Have you been waiting all this time to use this comeback or do you just keep using it over and over? 2) I'll take a crack-smoking Rob Ford over a tea-sipping Trudeau any day of the week.

Surprising to see the Dow Jones doing so well while trade with China is unravelling. It must have to do with the UK Trip.

I find it odd how reluctant Trudeau was to admit that islamic state was committing genocide but he wants to somehow equate this with genocide.

The longer they are set back, the better for them.

Iran is actually quite a bit crazier than Pakistan. The Pakistanis are monsters within their own border, and love to be a training/staging ground for terrorists, but they aren't stupid enough to threaten the US constantly and they stay out of the Israel debate because they were created at the same time and have a track record for crimes against humanity that makes Israel look like darlings. I'm not sure where you got the impression that I said North Korea wasn't being taken seriously. It's to late to do a pre-emptive attack on NoKo. They already crossed that finish line before Trump was in power. Iran, on the other hand, is still in the wannabe stage and has already crossed a serious line with the US when they captured a US Navy vessel and held the sailors hostage (while Obama was twiddling his thumbs). Then they threatened to attack another US ship in the Persian Gulf when Trump was Prez. An aircraft carrier iirc. That's in addition to a multitude of other threats that they constantly make. The Saudis already hate Iran and have been forming a coalition of countries opposed to Iran. It might be possible to goad Iran into making a mistake that gives the US good reason to go in, while other ME nations either help of cheer for them.

What you're supposed to glean from that last answer is that it might be necessary to attack Iran if they get too close to having nuclear weapons.

Could you imagine if your plane was forced to land somewhere and the Dem Convention was going on in that town? What if you were snowed-in for a week, surrounded by those people, and you had to sleep in a football arena where you were literally surrounded by hundreds of them? What would you do?

LMAO. So funny to look back in time and see how consistent and how uninformed your opinions have been. The problem isn't that some students are thin-skinned, it's that universities are churning out fascist SJW morons in droves. They get "set off" by things that they don't understand. They are easily manipulated and lead around by the nose. That's the exact opposite of what should happen in a university. One would hope that they were helping people to become strong, independent thinkers with the ability to process information, to look a little deeper, to try to see a problem from different angles before they seize on a viewpoint that was presented to them by someone with a sick agenda.

You started off so strong Then your post went downhill so fast. No one hates America except for people like islamic state, NoKo and Iran, who offer the rest of the world nothing and want to have power over everyone else. Billions of people in many countries all over the world benefit from their dealings with America. Sure there are some things to not like about America, and lots of Americans don't like those same things as well, but humans are a long way from achieving perfection. Outright slavery was legal all across the world not very long ago, and that goes back to the beginning of time. You must love the US Constitution if you really believe that loveistheonlyway. America is a free country, and respects the sovereignty of nations whose people enjoy reasonable freedom from severe persecution. The US has the power to conquer which they don't use. Overall America is pretty close to a 10/10. If you really believed that loveistheonlyway then you would respect the freedoms in America that allow people to be gay or choose their own religion. I think you believe that your exact version of "love" is all that is allowed to exist and you are positively hateful towards people who don't share your exact belief system. Just a hunch.

America is at least going in the right direction now: -Appeasement of Iran and NoKo is done -Isis isn't a large country anymore, -rioting & looting isn't commonplace in America anymore, -the economy is booming, -China's trade tactics are meeting new resistance, -the military is getting stronger -Russia isn't flexing their muscles in any new public places (Crimea and Syria started under Obama) since Trump took over. There are a lot of positive changes that have occurred domestically and on the foreign front since Trump took office. Obama's backsliding America has all but vanished.

Mueller said that “if they didn’t have any evidence of a crime he would have said that in his report”. The only correct interpretation of that is that they do have evidence, and if there’s actual evidence then there was a crime. It has to be re: the Trump administration or Mueller has just thrown a whole lot of shade on Trump with no good reason. It’s really just a matter of what crime, if they have enough evidence that they think they could get a conviction, against whom, and for what? It’s hard to believe that there wouldn’t be at least a campaign finance violation. Iirc there actually was. Is it something bigger? By Trump? Is it more serious than just felony mishandling of classified information? If there wasn’t a crime committed that was worth a whole new round of this crap then Mueller is just a political hack, and a piece of crap.

Iran isn’t a big problem because they’re not very powerful. They're like a weasel. Weasels kill more than they’ll eat, apparently for fun, but they’re not big enough to be a threat to most animals. Iran with nukes would be like a weasel the size of a tiger. If they had the power that the US had this planet would be down by a few billion people in a very sort period of time.

IMO if they're disciplined and they can use one of the two normal bathrooms it's no big deal. Anything that requires special treatment is bad for morale.

WTF? Is it the big deficits that you like, or his love of terrorists? Maybe you are taken in by all the media that he bought off with taxpayer money and you think that he should be allowed to bully the MJ/AG when his favourite companies need legal protection? Democracy is no big deal, right? I wouldn't vote for Trudeau if there was a gun to my head.

16 members in the entire armed forces? Less than .1%? That's pretty good imo. I'll bet that more than .1% of the African Americans in the US military are active within BLM or NBP, and there have been at least two muslims in the US army that committed terrorist attacks against their fellow soldiers. Ideally the number of members in the Canadian Forces would be 0.0 but there are very few 0s in the real world.

TBH I'm more worried about our own election in 2019. Our country is going straight into the toilet if Trudeau wins.

Sometimes he's up sending angry tweets, sometimes he's up talking to his generals about cruise missile strikes. He's weird like that. At least he's never lying in bed while embassies are being overrun. The US was marginally tougher than Canada from '09 through 2016. The US is not be messed with from 2017 through May of 2019. And don't forget, NoKo was talking about shooting missiles to Guam. Iran was talking about attacking US ships at sea. Trump isn't initiating threats of war. He's dealing with threats of war. Remember when Mattis said: "If they shoot missiles at us, that's called war"? Trump inherited that mess. Clinton's billions paid for the start of that mess. Trump hasn't even given NoKo so much as the steam off his crap.

1) It's just plain ignorance and/or petty wishful thinking, to think that Trump is not doing things properly. On foreign affairs and the economy Trump is kicking absolute ass. I know that you'd love to pretend Obama was a better statesman than Trump, but here are those nasty little things that libs so despise that the rest of the world knows as facts: Obama inherited an Iraq that was unstable but on a road to recovery, and not deteriorating. He pulled out his troops, left behind an arsenal fit for a decent army, and Iraq plummeted into chaos, islamic state sprung into existence with the US's discarded weapons. Obama left that jr varsity terrorist squad to grow unchecked, to the size of a relatively large country, and they were able to commit a substantial genocide. Obama said it would take several years to clean that up. He left Trump with the job of killing Assad and shutting down isis in maybe 5 years? Trump came up against a veteran dictator in Putin. Threw down a bunch of bombs, made the US look good, made Putin look stupid, killed isis, moved on. Yeah I get that CNN loves to say that he looked "crazy, unstable, etc" but to the rest of the world he looked like the guy with the big stick who backed his words with action. The ME looks 1,000 times better today than it did 3 years ago. That's a fact that even CNN can't dispute, that's why they don't talk about it. Believe me when I say to you that if CNN could say that the ME was worse off now than it was 3 years ago that's literally all that they would talk about. Instead they are still talking about the bogeyman in Trump's closet that the FBI still hasn't managed to find. NoKo is pouting, mired in sanctions. China is dealing with a US that isn't taking their shit. Iran isn't getting billions from Trump. They don't dare take US ships hostage now. They're relegated to the sidelines, talking smack like a little guy whose friends are holding him back. If they cross a line with Trump the whole world knows what will happen, and it's been a long time coming. Iran is nothing but a stooge on the world stage right now. One more thing - no one is going to overrun any US embassies with impunity while Trump is in charge. There won't be a whole night of distressed "come help us" radio calls without the sound of drones, F-22's, or cruise missiles inbound. So you tell me just exactly how Trump isn't ding things properly MH. I'd love to hear a peep. 2) The Russian Collusion delusion can't actually end in total exoneration, because there's no way to conclusively prove that Trump never said a single thing that was inappropriate over the course of an entire year without video evidence of every single second of that year. What's known for sure is that the FBI tried to entrap his people and failed, the Russians made offers which were refused, and the whole investigation was predicated on bogus information which was presented to a FISA court as independently corroborated (lie) and partially verified (lie) without disclosing that the information was covertly paid for by a political rival and that at least some of it was false. You can be disingenuous and say that he wasn't "exonerated" but the investigation, which was riddled with serious cases of malfeasance which resulted in multiple firings and demotions, was a total disaster for the Dems and the FBI. 3) Trump starts with CNN, MSNBC, NBC, the NYT, ABC, Hollywood, etc all attacking him 24/7, 365 days a year. He's winning on the world stage, his economy is booming, and his approval rating is equal or greater than Obama's was depending on what day of the week that is. Trump is killing it.
