Hearing a leftist talking about 'critically thinking' about anything political in nature is a hoot. You guys get sucked in by every idiotic story to come out of CNN, and then when the illusion has finally faded and the truth is out, they distract you by sucking you in again with the next BIG [BULLSHIT] THING! If that's not bad enough, then they wait a few months and start referring back to the old bullshit things as if they still had some credibility. "Remember Brianna Taylor, Rayshard Brooks, Dr Ford, Michael Brown, and Russian collusion? Now those were some stories with TRACTION!"

Biden's weakness and stupidity is really putting the planet on the edge now. It's bad enough that the feckless dolt won't say anything about a war starting in the ME, but the Demonrats are openly supporting terrorism now and he won't say or do anything about that either. This is a new low point for the USA but we all know that the journey down is just getting started.

Biden gives Palestine $100M: https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/biden-administration-quietly-ramping-aid-154553073.html Next thing you know, there are 500 rockets fired into Israel: https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog-may-12-2021/ Biden hasn't made a statement yet, but the squad called the Israelis the terrorists in this scenario lol: https://omar.house.gov/media/press-releases/reps-omar-carson-and-tlaib-statement-attacks-al-aqsa-mosque-during-ramadan Omar [paraphrasing]: "OMG it's Ramadan, so the Palestinians were just innocently firing some rockets into Israel to kill some civilians and the Israelis retaliated - DURING RAMADAN! THAT'S TERRORISM!" This is yet another example of the rise of terrorism under Biden, and global de-stabilization now that there's a weakling in the WH. America has all the resolve of a soggy marshmallow.

Yup, but you're not making the case tat anything changed then, are you? Wasn't that article supposed to somehow paint Trump as the original sinner? Didn't things suddenly take a dark turn in January of 2017? Nothing that you're saying makes that poll about "peace and security", nor does it make that poll a reflection of anything to do with Trump. Do you understand that RTL? The main thing that the people in the poll specifically cited was big tech: ... which is undisputedly in the corner of Joe Biden and the Dems. Do you get it? Big Tech blatantly mauled, molested and perverted democracy, and it was all for the Dems. Not for Trump. The author of that article tried to make the poll into an attack on Trump she failed miserably, now you're trying to turn that poll into something completely different again. The poll doesn't mean what you really wish it meant, RTL. So what? You can always talk about the 2 hrs of rioting, by less than 200 people, if you want to attack Trump. Or you can just talk about other things. Just don't bring fiction here and dress it up like a damning historical account of something.

America was a model of democracy. Countries that operated like functioning democracies always knew that they had the United States backing them up. America is no longer a model of democracy. It operates like a banana republic and big tech, the FBI and the MSM are complicit in America’s undoing. The reason that America threatens world democracy is that the way that their big tech (along with the MSM and the FBI) was weaponized as a tool for one-party rule and socialist government in America, it can be easily be used to do the exact same thing in other countries. Biden brought execs from those companies right on into the WH to form part of his government. They openly work for the US government. The Dems’ complete lack of scruples, their dedication to fraud-friendly election policies and their total domination of big tech is a threat to the possibility of legitimate elections all over the world. The Democrats actually do pose a threat to world security, in that they are economically and militarily very weak, but that was not the point of the article that you cited.

OMFG! So you still don't get it???? DUUHHHHH! "Threats to democracy" means just that. It doesn't mean threats to "security or peace". Believe me, the Dems intend to have nothing but peace and compliance all across the board. They are silencing dissent everywhere to ensure it. But at the very same time, they are putting and end to democracy.

Geez RTL, maybe people were basing their current opinion on what the US was like in 1873, or 1912. I never thought of that lol. Of course they're thinking of the current POTUS, the Dems' recent history of election cheating, the politicization of the FBI, the Dems' use of violent militias, and the power that big tech is exercised over the last election. That was even cited in the article, and Biden is quickly rewarding big tech execs with gov't positions. Do I care how Yahoo "News" chose to spin this? Of course not. Ergo, the truth bombs.

1) Your own quote referenced "peace and security", the article doesn't mention those things at all. You could have just as easily posted this article and asked who was the biggest threat to the world's ice cream supply. 2) The 'poll' was from after the inauguration, so you can ignore Yahoo news's ridiculous spin - the people of the world in Feb 2021 were looking straight at the sitting POTUS and the Dems' undemocratic actions of the past 5 years. IE the Dems' litany of new election fraud friendly policies, the Dems' recent history of election cheating (Hillary got caught cheating 3 times on the last election), the collusion witch hunt, the fact that the FBI was exposed as a partisan political tool [not unlike the KGB] over the past four years, the fact the Dems are such massive hypocrites about election interference (it's well-known that Americans try to influence elections all over the planet but the Dems went apoplectic about some low-budget FB ads), the fact that the Dems used Antifa anarchists and BLM terrorists like their own private militia (you know that the Dems and their MSM called extremely violent and costly riots 'mostly peaceful', it doesn't get much more undemocratic than using domestic terrorism to influence political change), and the fact that big tech worked so hard and in such a blatantly biased manner to influence the election in favour of the Dems, and big tech is specifically named in the article as a threat to democracy. 3) Regarding the outward appearance of democracy, and ignoring everything else, Demmies in the US can act like they know the election was fair and square, but the rest of the world saw dozens of Trump rallies with 20,000+ people in them and just a handful of Biden rallies, none of which scrounged up more than 200 people. From the outside, something about US 'democracy' under the demonrats is very fishy. P.S. - I'm pretty sure that it's against forum rules to copy and paste a whole article. I don't care personally, and I'm not going to rat you out, it's just an fyi. You might want to check into it. Sorry about the truth bombs. Lots of people don't appreciate my candor. Oh well.

Honest to god, I don't understand how adults can be caught up in simple lies so often. How is it possible that The Rolling Stone, in print format, can put a lie right there on a piece of paper, along with proof that they are lying within two inches, and yet people will choose to believe the lie so thoroughly that they will even cite it as a source and propagate it? As a society, we should not accept lying at all. We shouldn't accept it when it sounds good for our side, we shouldn't accept it from others, period. If I got suckered by Rolling Stone like that I'd be furious with them. I'd send a nasty letter or a scathing FB post and I'd be done with them forever. If you do any less then you're just feeding the beast. As long as people are busy telling their own lies, or propagating the lies of their favourite, published/syndicated smut merchants, our society will never evolve past a bickering, hateful, mistrustful dystopian shithole where the people at the top can just laugh at the peons who are caught up in the dogfight.

I'm not waving pom-poms for immigration here, I'm mostly neutral on the topic, but I don't think that there's a problem with educated people assimilating at all, or any reasonable amount of immigration with proper screening for that matter. Sikhs aren't a small minority where I live and I think that the young generation takes to Canadian culture like ducks to water. There are a lot of them in our local baseball teams, and they even have a Punjabi-speaking hockey broadcast for the Canucks (who I don't cheer for - I bet that they love to get our boy Jujhar Khaira on the Canucks lol. Too bad, so sad.) In fact, if we could swap sikhs for liberals I'd be all over it. (That's not saying much though, I'd swap in some Taliban for liberals.) The people most affected by immigration imo are ones who are scrambling to afford housing. I feel really bad for any nth generation Canadians who don't have their foot in the door of the real estate market because it's getting tougher all the time. With the ridiculous cost of lumber now we might actually need to pause immigration - no one can afford to build at $100 for a sheet of plywood.

Yup, of course YOU'D fall for this crap: That's the actual title of the story in your link. Not to be outdone by that level of stupidity, they ratcheted it up to this: The post that they're targeting actually says that he started off at $1/hr and then earned his way up to $6/hr right in it. I screen-shotted it for you. He started at 1/6th of 22.62, which is *****drumroll please.....***** $3.77 today. Do you get that your link was just an exercise in stupidity?

You could look at any news story that you want MH. No matter what the topic, everything that the turd said and did is either perfect, dreamy, or the topic is verboten. One example is Covid - according to the media he has been "PERFECT!". At every stage of the game he got glowing reviews for 'following the science'. There was nary a harsh word spoken about his C19 game, but what does the scorecard really look like? When the WHO was giving the worst advice possible (DON'T WEAR MASKS, KEEP FLIGHTS FROM COVID HOTSPOTS POURING IN), other world leaders were smarter than the WHO by orders of magnitude. In Japan they gave N95 masks to every home in the country and blocked flights from Wuhan. I don't know what the Japanese words for "Fuck the WHO" are, but that was Abe's battlecry. Trump blocked non-American passengers from China, he wasn't stupid. But when Demonrats and their MSM flunkies piled on Trump and called that a "racist" travel ban, the turd decided to use that moment to stab Trump in the back instead of just realizing the importance of blocking infected people from coming to Canada. The turd didn't even have to figure this one out by himself, he just had to copy other people who were smarter than him, but instead of fighting covid he turned the topic into a sermon about racism against Chinese people. Trudeau pontificated while Canadians died by the thousands. Did our media mention that at that point in time even the Chinese gov't was blocking flights from Wuhan into the rest of China? (Oddly enough, they were letting Wuhan residents fly out on international flights...) Or did they say "DAMN THE TORPEDOES! LET'S KEEP USING THIS VIRAL OUTBREAK AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO ATTACK TRUMP!" Wonderdunce proceeded to give all of our N95 masks to the country that 'accidentally' let covid out of their BSL-4 lab, he backed the guidance of our health experts who told us not to wear masks, and he left the flights from Wuhan pour in for months. The media blitz against Trump worked because our population is largely stupid, but Canada rocketed to the top 10 countries in the world to hit 5,000 covid deaths despite our distance from China, our access to PPE and our extremely low population density. He treated covid like such a joke that even his wife got it right at the very beginning. When Trudeau finally started to fight covid it was a JOKE. People from Wuhan could fly into Canada on March 16th, wander around the country wherever they pleased, go into buffet-style restaurants, swim in pools, chill out in the mall etc. Then on the 23rd Canadians weren't even allowed to walk outside in our parks. There were notices in the parking lots that we would be violating a health order if we walked outside. In one week we went from "covid is a huge joke" to "STAY AT HOME OR YOU'LL KILL US ALL!" What was "the science" back at the start of the viral outbreak, MH? Was it really "welcome covid into our country like the plague"? Is that a thing now? Because that was the exact strategy that our village idiot employed. Think about our 24,000 deaths vs Japan's 10,000 deaths, all of the natural advantages that we had over them in this pandemic, and the old maxim "A stitch in time saves nine". Does that apply here somehow? Would we have 24,000 deaths right now if we had just copied them? Would we still be locked down like this? Was what they did so brilliant that no one could have conceived of it themselves, or even understood it when they were doing it? Was that really the time for pontificating about racism, or should we have copied the Chinese Gov't's own racist actions against the people of Wuhan? Sorry if it seems like I'm treating you like an imbecile but that is the EXACT standard by which we have to gauge our government's response to this pandemic. If you ask the really easy questions the answer is blatantly obvious, the turd failed us miserably. The only person in the world who handled covid worse than wonderdunce was Andrew Cuomo, but he had to actually murder people to one-up la turd. The truth is that we just got really lucky with covid. If it was as bad as the Spanish Flu then we would all have multiple, healthy family members dead and buried in nameless mass graves by now. Oh, do you want photographic evidence of the media playing up Trudeau's greatness at fighting covid? Check out this photo of when the media was proclaiming "Trudeau is so great for being a model of social distancing" and think about whether or not social distancing was really being practiced in that instance.... Is it propaganda when the government is 'filming something important' but it's really just a facade? Does this look like NoKo-esque propaganda to you?

Cite. You always need a cite when you make such a ludicrous claim.

Did you not just see the video of Trudeau saying it? Perfect.

What countries did I list us behind? Do you have a link? The only countries that I've named here are the G20 countries that you mentioned and some from your own link that had zero, back when we had zero.

Here's Trudeau standing up to anti-Chinese racism the day after Trump enacted the travel ban: https://globalnews.ca/video/6494388/trudeau-condemns-racism-linked-to-coronavirus-outbreak He didn't have the balls to say what he meant, but his message was received loud and clear as a slam against Trump. Trump mentioned the general commentary about his travel ban here: https://www.air.tv/watch?v=-zfMeVAYStuTclPPIqgxUQ&utm_source=ATVPlayer&utm_content=logolink https://nypost.com/2020/05/19/biden-trumps-coronavirus-response-is-nakedly-xenophobic/ Here's Biden popping off about the racism of the travel ban a while later. It's hard to understand him sometimes, trst me, the words racism, xenophobia and 'fanning the flames' are in there. It's just mumbled. I looked for the video of Pelosi hugging people in Chinatown on Feb 24th 2020 about ten times last summer and couldn't find it. I Googled "Pelosi hugging people in Chinatown Feb 24" etc over and over again, nothing. Now it came up when I searched for comments about the travel ban against China. Weird. https://abc7news.com/sf-chinatown-pelosi-san-francisco-coronavirus-fears/5964696/ So yeah, this is what the Dems were up to, long after Trump was already taking very serious measures to protect the country.

But you have to admit, we showed that we have complete trust in China when it comes to all things related to covid, which looks very non-racist. Dreamy even. The American vaccines are the product of Operation Warp Speed, which seems to have a racist, orange tinge to it somehow. (To be completely honest, there's some solid reasoning behind taking the Chinese vaccine, seeing as the virus came out of their own BSL-4 lab. It's just a matter of whether they give you the IheartChina vaccine that they give their own people or the H204USA vaccine.)

Aristedes, we are America's closest ally, yet many other countries were ahead of us in line to get their vaccines. Only idiots will buy into your comparison of "per capita doses compared to India, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia, and a bunch of countries where covid didn't even get a foothold".

Lying about covid is perfectly legal, even expected of you, as long as you're pimping the proper narrative.

Deal with it lol. Grow up. 1) We were lagging behind by a ridiculous amount before we dipped into the 3rd world charity pool. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/article-canada-the-only-g7-country-to-take-vaccines-from-fund-for-developing/ Lol. How bad is that? 2) The US makes the vaccines, we are their closest ally, yet our dipshit PM was completely unable to get any vaccines while the rest of the world was all over them. 3) Also, you're comparing us to Argentina, Australia, Brazil, China, Germany, France, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States. - Do you realize that some of the countries on that list weren't allies of Trump's, like Russia and China, so the number of American vaccines that they got is extremely minimal? - Do you realize that countries like Japan and SoKo don't have a huge need for the vaccine because their leaders weren't retarded? (They didn't give all of their PPE away to China, leave flights from Wuhan free to fly in anytime, and they didn't tell their people not to wear masks) - Do you realize how wealthy Canada is compared to countries like India and Indonesia, and how many people they'd have to vaccinate to keep pace with us? - Brazil is a 3rd world country and they've given out almost 2.5 times as many vaccinations as we have https://ourworldindata.org/covid-vaccinations I'll grant you that you're good at being disingenuous and you're a stalwart defender of your dear leader, but there's literally nothing that Trudeau could have done worse in the 'fight' against covid. Nothing. I challenge you to name 1 thing that he wasn't literally THE VERY WORST at.

Maybe they increased the amount of time between shots for AZ because of how many people were getting shingles, blood clots or dying. I wish that they did a breakdown of all the vaccination deaths by age and whether or not they have co-morbidities like they do with covid deaths. If healthy 28 yr olds were among the 3,300+ that died in the US after taking the vaccine then it's an easy choice to not get it.

How many of those people are fully vaccinated and how many are half-vaccinated, and waiting for 4 months for a 2nd injection instead of the prescribed 24 days (or whatever)? How many of those did we get from the '3rd world charity vaccine' pool? As with everything else done under Trudeau, including all things related to C19, vaccinations are a complete boondoggle.

Two people in an entire country... Is the plural of anecdotes "stats" now? Your own Global link says that only 19 people between 40-49 died of covid in BC. According to the latest census data that makes 19 out of 617,000 people. Do you know how many very unhealthy people there are in BC between 40-49? If you're keeping score, over the last 1 year and 2 months of lockdowns, one out of every 32,400 people in BC aged 40-49 has died of covid. That's a "stat". Once again, you have a couple of anecdotes. (If you care so much about covid then why aren't you mad that it took Trudeau 16 months to figure out that banning travel from covid hotspots is a good idea? Why did he call it racist before? Did you also call it racist? Do you feel differently about Trump now, for when he thought of banning travel from C19 hotspots right away? FYI there were only about 5 covid deaths in the US when Trump did that. There were less than 100 when he basically shut down the economy. Trudeau shut down flights from C19 hotspots after there were 24,000 deaths.) Do you know why I don't consider myself a hypocrite for being so keen on covid provisions a year ago and not so much now? Because back then we all had reason to fear that it was going to be deadly to everyone. Now we know that only a very small percentage of the population is really at risk.

It never was 90 year olds. It was always "elderly people with co-morbidities". Healthy, elderly people fare well with covid. People who are close to death die from covid. No one has ever supplied more than anecdotal evidence of that.

I would respectfully invite you to consider that honesty is the ONLY lubricant that allows people to have fruitful conversations. I also worked a long time on my post, but I actually took the time to read and weigh the merits of your post. Furthermore, you can be as civil as you want, but when your answers sound like: "I feel this way because I care about black people and you don't" that's not just a non-answer, it's an insult. Being civil also doesn't make up for being disingenuous, willfully ignorant, or lying. While you're working so hard, pretending that the fact that BLM killed a 16 yr old in their very brief tenure policing an extremely small area is meaningless, other people are mulling it over. I hope that, at some point in time, you will be able to entertain a positive, truthful exchange of ideas, and if that happens I'll be happy to engage with you about this or any other matter. In the meantime, I wish you all the best. The Truth About Lying
