Because birds of a feather flock together? Because "the enemy of my enemy is my friend"?

A 47.8% approval rating is just mind-blowing. That chart makes Americans look like morons. If it was 15% right now I'd still consider that high.

They actually do follow islamic teachings, just more strictly than most other muslims.

1) I answered your silly questions, 2) people don't have to wear pants - there are many other options like I said, and 3) your society flogs women and puts them in jail for years for not covering their heads, what do you think they'd do to women who decided to walk around naked? In your country women go to jail for a really long time or risk being beaten up or raped just for showing their hair, even if their entire body is fully clothed, and that's not the case in the majority of the world because it's unreasonable. In the western world, which you so despise, going naked is illegal, just like in every other country on the entire planet. I know you think that your comparison is cute, but it completely lacks intelligence and reason.

FYI Iran is a state sponsor of terrorism and one of the most misogynistic shithole countries on the planet. Women there have been flogged and sent to prison just for removing their hijabs. You'd think that they'd be thick as thieves with the Talis but for some reason Iran looks down on them.

No. That's just an incredibly stupid comment for several reasons. 1) If you don't want to wear pants you could wear shorts, a kilt, a muumuu, a skirt, or a dress, etc. 2) pants protect your legs from the sun, cold, thorns, spattering grease, sparks, insects and many other things - they're quite practical. People who wear pants would definitely outlive people who choose to remain naked, if such people existed. 3) last but certainly not least - the need for pants isn't a figment of one person's imagination which then gets forced onto other people who have no need for them, or get no benefit from them. If a leftist decides that they need a tinfoil hat to protect them from mind-control rays does that mean that they can force you to wear one? If you don't wear one can they beat you up? Can they rape you, and when the cops come can they just say "She didn't have her tinfoil hat on" and the cops would then say "You shoulda had your tinfoil hat on", and that would make sense to you? Should you be whipped and sent to jail for ten years if you didn't have one? Should you be murdered?

Dude, Quebec drains money from the federal government 10x faster than any other province. That number in red is in millions, so 13,119M is actually $13.1 Billion dollars. Over the last 12 years Alberta got $0.00 and Quebec got about $100 billion. If Quebec left Canada we'd no longer be saddled with idiotic liberal PMs and we'd be up by hundreds of billions of dollars.

I'm not expecting an intelligent, coherent reply, if that's what you're asking

Trudeau and Biden are dumb and dumber, not necessarily in that order.

Regardless of how you personally feel about it, it most certainly is a symbol of oppression because people who don't want to wear it have to wear it or they face public lashings, jail time, verbal harassment, rape, and even murder. Do you agree that those things are evil?

Looks like a mom from Oklahoma just beat our country to the punch: https://nypost.com/2021/08/19/oklahoma-mom-rescues-members-of-afghan-all-girls-robotics-team/?utm_campaign=SocialFlow&utm_medium=SocialFlow&utm_source=NYPFacebook&sr_share=facebook&fbclid=IwAR1f4TTyW7DETBmd6N9XvWpXvvPYIzjsnJvl_YABOz9Kqo3dEw9dsPD4RwE ? Stick that up your virtue-signalling ass, Trudeau, you worthless sack of crap.

I like Harper, but I never would have said zero. It could only be a matter of time, whether that's 5 years or 50, it would eventually have to happen. I say that because China is not a soft-hearted democracy that will ever see a pansy like Trudeau selling the country short every chance he gets. It's just a matter of time until we see a guy who's less 'patient' than Xi take the reins. I hope like hell that I'm wrong, but they built 60+ warships in 3 years for a reason. Their version of the NSA is just as roided-out. Their military is not defensive in nature.

I started a poll yesterday to see who thought that Trudeau would be sending aid to the Talis before the next election. I was the only person who voted in the affirmative, but I have no doubt that Canadian money will get into Taliban hands from some reason or other before the election. It's just too "Trudeau" of a thing to do, I can't see him failing to jump on that particular soapbox.

The US should have a bunch of booby-trapped ordnance that they leave behind so that when the weasels get their hands on it, and open it up to reverse-engineer it - boom!

Biden's apologists have gone into silent mode now. They're waiting for him to do something awesome (like an executive order making it illegal for men to stand up to piss) before they get back onto the topic of the USA or the POTUS. It's hard to believe that just a years ago our neighbour was the exact same USA that fragged 200 Russian soldiers and killed Iran's top general, and suddenly they're changing their name to Americuck. Foreigner drug dealers control their southern border, their army ditched & ran from Afghanistan leaving all their high-tech weaponry and their citizens behind, they're ceding western Europe to Russian interests and their men get to compete against women now in sports. Yay Biden!

Gutfeld quipped yesterday that this was the worst pullout since Hunter was with that stripper.

I think that he's trying to sell the idea of bringing those people here as a positive for our country. It's just a fact of life that when most refugees come here they don't even speak the language and they don't have impressive job skills, they are usually a drain on the economy. That's a ridiculous assumption. Men in Afghanistan can pretend to be something that they're not and they can survive in Afghanistan. All they have to do is pretend to beat their wife up and they're solid with the Talis. Women who are educated are a target for murder. They will probably be raped first, but they are targets for execution. Do you have a cite for that?

Whether it's a big number or small, it's still hard to fathom why someone would choose to wear a symbol of the oppression of their own gender if they don't have to.

By "weeks" I guess I meant "hours". Biden's weakness and his ability to be wildly wrong never cease to amaze.

That sentence is packed with a lot of implicit and implied hideousness. It's the epitome of bad that the Talis execute people for the things that you mentioned, but just think about the fact that every single girl in that country has to go through the humiliating/degrading process of confirming or denying her vaginal status, and that they get married off at a young age. I'm guessing that it's not "a Dr of her own choosing" scenario, or even an actual MD, or a lowly female of any sort being trusted with such an important job, more likely a withered old cleric - IE the grand-high perv within the religious boundaries. So, all things considered, there are thousands of 12-15 yr-old girls getting probed by dirty old men who get to say "she's not a virgin" if they feel like she's hot enough that he wants her to be forced to marry an old guy..... like himself. Pretty scary when you realize that not every family has the standing within their community to go against the word of a top religious cleric. If they say she's been deflowered (or whatever wonderful terminology they use), she's officially garbage, then they can just add "but I'll be magnanimous enough to take her on as a 4th wife". It's bizarre that women here 'choose' to wear the hijab, when you really take into consideration all that it symbolizes.

Trudeau already gave a taliban terrorist $10.5M, in case you forgot. The NDP leader also exclaimed to the world that "Khadr has more class than the whole CPC combined". I didn't say that he'd give money to the Tali "just because", but he will find an excuse to send money there just to fool his legion of idiots.

Damn. That's so bad on so many levels. A China/terrorism alliance is bad for business, and - according to Lara Logan - the US left a lot of hi-tech weaponry behind which the Talis are shipping around to be reverse-engineered.

I dunno if this should have been a poll question, but I also wonder if Trudeau will be the first "world leader" to officially recognize the Taliban as the Gov't of Afghanistan, or the first western nation to officially recognize them. I wonder if he'll do it while even places like Iran are unwilling to allow them into the fold.

Will Trudeau try to pull off the greatest virtue signalling move of all time, or can he possibly resist?

Of course it wasn't. It just needed to be dealt with by someone more competent than Biden and his "Critical Race Theory education is our most pressing need" generals. They needed to choose Winston Chruchill and Dwight Eisenhower types, not The Village People. This is exactly the same as the border situation. Leftists thought that they knew best, and so they chose their people and made their own decisions, and now there are 200,000 people crossing the border every month instead of 17,000. The increase in crime and drugs is directly proportional to the number of people crossing. The cost of processing illegal aliens is also directly proportional. Kids are living in even worse conditions and there are 5x as many. The border is a giant shit-show that only leftists could conjure up, just like the rise of islamic state, just like Benghazi, just like the debacle of Kabul, etc. Leftists are stupid, they choose stupid leaders - play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
