Tucker Carlson now says QAnon doesn't exist
WestCanMan replied to godzilla's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
The only people that I ever hear talking about QAnon are leftists. I don't get any Q info in my social media feeds, via PMs, or anywhere else, and I'm a pretty hard-core conservative. I see lots of disinformation, and I don't know the initial sources of any of it, but I suspect that it's actually leftists who put these straw man type stories out there, trying to trick people into believing it/propagating it, just to take credibility away from people on the right. The leftist puppet masters suck in leftists by the millions, it goes without saying that at least a handful of conservatives will take their bait. -

He didn't freeze any aid at all. The aid went to Ukraine when it was supposed to. Go look it up. He didn't demand that the Ukrainians investigated Biden. He asked that they looked into crowdstrike, Zelenski offered to look into the firing of the prosecutor. Go look it up. Burisma built a pipeline of money going directly into the Biden family's pockets, Joe protected Burisma's sleaziest operators, and he used aid to Ukraine form the US government as leverage. Go look it up. I don't blame you for being completely ignorant of all this, or lying about it, you're just toeing the party line. If you ever learn to think for yourself you'll suddenly start to see things like the Biden quid pro quo as the actual crimes they are, and you'll have a hard time believing how badly you got sucked in. -

Lol, that was a leftist trash post if I ever saw one. Can you define how Trump was a pushover for Iran? How the old nuclear deal was tougher on Iran than Trump? How Suleimani feels about Trump's alleged weakness? Can you even say how Biden is justified to go attacking Iran's militias? Are you eager for war? -

It's exactly like when auto makers make hybrid cars to meet the demand for hybrid cars. It's exactly like when auto makers make EVs to meet the demand for hybrid cars. It's not so much like when auto makers make EVs just because the California government has mandated that they need to do that in order to stay in business. Coal isn't nearly as bad as it's made out to be. In Alberta, when coal made the bulk of electric power, it made 40 megatonnes of CO2. Albertans created over 100 megatonnes of CO2 by breathing. LNG is cleaner, but more prone to terrorist attacks. When the LNG line in BC blew a couple of years ago the province almost ran out. They got so low that they had no reserves: they were down to line pressure. If they ran out it would have been a total disaster. Aside from the fact that people would have frozen, and plumbing lines would be bursting like down in Texas, you can't just have 2 million homeowners re-start their own furnaces. It's guaranteed to result in deaths. It's only an ad hominem attack if it comes in place of defeating another's debate points. If, after you soundly crush someone's debate points into oblivion, like I did, it's ok to voice a little bit of frustration at the ridiculous lack of quality in their arguments. For example, when you try to gloss over the fact that China is building 184 coal-fired plants and act like they're the Green Giant, that's either colossally stupid or just plain ignorant. While it would be entirely possible for me to ignore the elephant in the room, and not mention the ultra-low quality of your argument, I chose to make a note of it. My debating was quite up to the challenge, I just voiced a bit of frustration at the end is all. If you (or others who are reading this) leave this discussion knowing that China is huge catastrophe as a 'green nation', and that their reasons for getting involved in the green tech biz aren't purely altruistic, then this has been a success. Whether or not you'll admit to it is a different story. I'm not apologizing for being honest though. Just up your game next time. -

It would be racist to care about the people killed by shipping by freight when they were mostly white, just like it's racist to care about white people killed by police, killed by rioters, etc. Fossil fuels account for about 25% of our exports by dollar value. The next closest thing is the auto industry, which is also subsidized. Green tech is already being subsidized by.... a tax on carbon. Anything that this country ever makes 'green' will always have to be heavily subsidized. It brings in a ton of money up front, provides long term jobs, gives our oil more access to foreign markets, and saves people's lives. Then once they're in the ground you can forget about them for years and the area that they're in is 100% green again. Those are all good things. Of course China is competing for jobs in every sector. They know that Americans have a huge boner for green technology. You're still glossing over the fact that China is going to burn more coal in 2 or 3 years than Canada burned in our entire history. WTF are you talking about? Almost anything large can be brought over as component parts. Remember our government just gave a Chinese company the contract for an entire LNG pipeline? How small is that? So you gradually ease into the future. You don't inflict it on the population like China did in their "Great Leap Forward". In case you didn't know, somewhere between 15,000,000 and 55 million people actually leapt into their graves as a result. There's nothing wrong with transitioning to green technology in a democratic, free market way. There's everything wrong with a government that's forcing green tech down our throats and killing fossil fuel jobs here in NA while the rest of the world carries on like normal. Why should be buy oil exported from human rights abusers like Saudi Arabia? Why should we shut down coal here while a human rights abuser like China is building ten times as many coal-fired plants as this country ever had? FWIW I know that you don't, or intentionally won't understand any of this, it's basically just here for other people to see. -

Lots of racist news coverage you mean. Those lives are unimportant compared to the necessity to stop pipelines, which must also be racist somehow. I think it's it big, phallic symbol of how white men are screwing the environment. "Laying pipe into mother nature without consent!" It's a free market society. If oil companies didn't think that they'd make money on their pipelines then they wouldn't be building them. They're not like the Liberal government, which doesn't g.a.f. because it's just someone else's money. What world do you live in, where investors are told where they have to invest their money? What world do you live in, where investors build factories in Canada? How many jobs will your pipe dreams actually create in Canada, or will almost all of those jobs go to China, Malaysia, etc...? Boges, FYI - here's what China is doing: https://www.canadianenergycentre.ca/commentary-china-is-building-184-coal-plants-guess-what-that-will-do-to-carbon-emissions/ By your plan, we will kill our economy to foist green regulations and taxes upon everyone here, while China's economy is booming based upon fossil fuel usage. Then, under weaklings like Biden and Obama who refuse to tackle tough issues with China on things like intellectual property laws, our green technology will eventually be stolen by China and they'll manufacture it for themselves, and for the rest of the world, and they'll probably even sell it at a store near you. I get that your soft little heart is in the right place Boges, but China and the rest of the world think with their heads. You have a plan to fail in the short term, and to fail drastically in the long term, and that's it. -

Pipelines kill less people, but in the case of places like Lac-Megantic, it was just a bunch of white people that died, so maybe it's racist to take their lives into account? For sure. Battery-powered 747s, freight trains, semis and backhoes/caterpillars etc are the way of the future. There are also enough power lines right now to fuel all of our vehicles and heat all of our homes and buildings. We should curtail our entire transportation system right now and just go with whatever electric vehicles we have. Homes can just burn garbage for heat until they all switch over to electricity. Thanks AOC. -

What's stopping him from just lying? He's a Demonrat for Pete's sake. "Scientists say that shipping rail by pipeline is more dangerous!" Done. Or: "Building pipelines is just a white privilege job. It's completely racist to take truck-driving jobs away from minorities for the creation of a pipeline!" Done. That guy doesn't even speak the Demmie lingo. He won't last long. -

I didn't actually mention that Joe Biden got arrested for trespassing in the capitol, but he said that he did. Probably a lie. He also said that he got arrested trying to visit Nelson Mandela (false) and that he comes from a long line of coal miners (wrong, there were zero) and he's the first person in his family to ever graduate from college (lie). "I DID NOT KNOW THAT HUNTER WAS WORKING AT BURISMA. PERIOD. I DID NOT KNOW!!!!" Lie. He knew, and he had to amit that he knew when the photo of him and Hunter with Devon Archer was leaked. -

Yup. I know old people who are getting totally depressed because of covid. My mother-in-law watches an hour and a half of news every day and she's started acting like one of those Japanese pilots from the movies who has been stranded on an island since WWII. She pops in all bug-eyed, then she's gone again. She barely ever goes out, she doesn't visit her grandkids, and her health is deteriorating fast. If having me as a son-in-law can't cheer her up, nothing can. -

Trump didn't freeze aid. No shipments were held back, so you lied again. Trump didn't just have to disclose that he already had Javelins earmarked for Ukraine, he asked for some info and the shipment of Javelins went to Ukraine when it was supposed to. What's your problem beave? I though that you wanted Russian collusion info. It's pretty hypocritical for you to say that asking for info re: Russian collusion is immoral now. The lie is that the investigator wasn't investigating Burisma. Burisma was crooked, they hired Hunter for $30k/mo, and all of their problems went away. Joe Biden lied repeatedly, saying that he had no knowledge that Hunter was working there, and then Joe Biden was exposed as a total liar. -

Texas faced a deep freeze 100 years ago, their wind mills froze up in 2021. It has all the problems that you'd expect of a border state after decades of illegal immigration, but it's still not a shithole like Illinois or Cali. -

The wind turbines still froze up. It's a once in a century event, not evidence of a 'shithole state'. In a week Texas will be back up to speed. People will be dying in Chicago all year and the homeless situation in Cali will keep getting worse. -

BS. 1) Stop getting your 'news' from QAnon west and 2) Proud Boys didn't commit a single terrorist attack ever, so they're not terrorists by definition. Dummmmb, de dumb dummmb... You have to be white to be a white supremacist, which is what the accusation against the Proud Boys is. Get your head out of your arse. Who the f do you think they're racist against? Themselves? Their parents? Their kids? FYI and ad hominem attack would be against you, the deliverer of info, not your sources. You're acting like you're quoting news sources, but they're actually discredited propagandists all. IDGAF about the 95 minute capitol riot. In a country with 300M people for sure you can find some people who will question the results of an election for 2 months, especially when it happens under such questionable circumstances. You did that for four years WITH NO EVIDENCE AT ALL. LMAO. It's completely impossible for you or anyone aside from Obama and Farrakhan to know how many times they met. Farrakhan was a vocal Obama supporter and they're very chummy in that photo. No decent person meeting with Farrakhan would look chummy, and why should Farrakhan be meeting with so many influential people in the first place? That's disgusting. That whole paragraph is just alarming lies and bullshit. There's something really wrong with you dude. -

So, to recap, Texas isn't a shithole. Texas is prosperous state experiencing a horrible & rare weather event, and all of their green technology crapped out on them at the worst possible moment. Chicago is a shithole, San Fran and LA are shitholes, and it has nothing to do with a rare weather phenomenon. -

Liar. Trump had already sent a batch of Javelins to Ukraine, Obama never gave them anything that advanced. Trump asked Zelenski to do something that was actually important for the United States when they were talking about a second batch of Javelins. That was just to get some info pertinent to the Russian collusion investigation. In case you're unaware, the Dems and FBI were busy committing actual crimes in the US at that point, and holding the US government hostage via their witch hunt. They spent hundreds of millions of dollars and tied up the GOP for thousands of hours just for a smear campaign. Getting the truth out about 'Russian (non-)collusion' was important, and what Trump asked Zelenski for was just the truth. Getting information is no big deal. Contrast that with Biden, who actually made a point of specifically withholding US aid to get the Ukrainian government to take actions against their own government officials on Biden's behalf, not for the US in any way, shape or form. "Get rid of that prosecutor and appoint this guy, he won't go within ten miles of Burisma (even though I have no personal stake in Burisma at all - if any of my immediate family members work there for $30K/month I am completely unaware of it!)". -

Sure, you managed to find a quote by 1 single, solitary idiot, but the majority of Demonrats still look at murder zones as places where the police need to be defunded and the rights of criminals to carry illegal guns should be protected. -

That's not even an article, it's purely an opinion piece by a racist, Demonrat, propagandist. For some reason you bolded this part, which is just purely moronic fantasy without even a shred of supporting evidence. That opinion piece contains exactly the same amount of evidence that Hillary rides around on a broom as it does to support the notions that you bolded. If he wrote that there were Republicans living on the surface of the Sun would you boost that shit too? Just out of curiosity, do you think that there is evidence of that in your link?
