People are going to die if the looting continues, regardless of what Trump says. I don't think that he's handling these riots well, but Obama didn't do anything and they went on for 3 years, so it's obvious that the Obama approach isn't the way to go.

You should have called your thread stupidity. There's no requirement to create "equality". You're taking about communism, and communism is not the friend of people who like the freedom to believe what they want. Look at religious freedom in China and the USSR if you don't believe me. There's a requirement to create a society where people are free to choose their religion and their way of life, in a manner that doesn't infringe on other people. That's what we have in Canada. If you don't completely understand that by now you're just a complete idiot.

Yeah I'm sick of seeing people on tv acting like it's 100% certain that he was killed because he was black. Now we're going to see an endless stream of edited videos which cut in when the police are wrestling with some back guy who was just resisting arrest and cursing at them 2 seconds earlier. I think that it's time for people who edit video for the purpose of inciting riots get actual prison time. There are very real consequences to that kind of thing that include millions of dollars in property damage and physical violence against police and citizens.

The 2nd amendment maybe?

When I turned on the TV this morning it was like deja vu from 2014, 2015, 2016. Seemed like Obama was prez again.

Your post just shows that you don't know wtf you're talking about ZG. Japan didn't even ban all of China, just Hubei province. That's all they had to ban, because China also had a ban on Hubei province. TRAVEL BANS WORK. MASKS WORK. What other mis-steps?

Because dozens of other countries did the right things. Because it is basic common sense. Because everyone should realize that bringing people directly into your country from the centre of a pandemic is just incredibly stupid. Because drs and nurses and lab techs have been wearing masks fr 100 years. Instead of following Taiwan, Japan, the US, Australia, etc, etc, etc, Trudeau called them racist. Or else he called Trump racist for doing the same thing that other people were doing. Either way, Trudeau is an idiot. I knew it was stupid. I said as much many many times before Tam admitted it. This wasn't a difficult call. It was really easy.

OMFG, he told people not to wear masks and left the border open. No other leader on the planet was that stupid. He was the only one. Hundreds of countries, only one leader dumb enough to blindly follow the advice of the WHO (they have been permanently cut off by the US now, and rightfully so.)

Gen. Flynn's transcripts have been declassified and released to the public. If the conversation isn't suspect in a major way, then 1) the reputation of the FBI will suffer permanent, irreparable damage, 2) the Russian collusion investigation will go down as the biggest political/police farce in US history and 3) there will be criminal referrals resulting in convictions. There's no room for a fiasco like this in a progressive democracy without serious repercussions.

If you read that again, you'll note that it doesn't say: "Blind devotion to an idiot who is destroying the country, or a traitor." It means that you want what is best for the country, it doesn't mean that you act like someone is doing a good job when they got thousands of people killed by their own stupidity. If Trudeau didn't have a long history of crimes and scandals against Canada I could forgive one faux pas. He's just a wrecking ball of stupidity and deceit. The fact that I don't give him a pass for killing Canadians doesn't mean that I don't love my country. Call me what you want. IDGAF.

The US handled it far better than Canada, that's proven 6 ways from Sunday now. It's impossible for anyone to do worse than what the WHO advised. Canada was the only country in the whole world dumb enough to take their advice 100%.

WTF, that's the worst thing I've ever seen in my life. He didn't even go to jail, and he got a pension to boot.

It's hard to understand how someone could have that much artistic skill and yet be such a child. The guy went to a lot of trouble to create a "cartoon". I hate Trudeau more than anyone else in Canada, and if I'm wrong then there's one sick bastard out there, but this is a childish/demented painting imo.

They're a minority gov't. The BQ has propped them up a couple times, and the NDP propped up their last vote to take a couple more months off (typical of lazy socialists), but the Libs can't do anything without the aid of some muppets.

Honestly, if their plan is to just work for 4 hrs over the next few months, and they're just there to get $150 billion more to spend, that won't sit well with Canadians.

It's an interesting way to look at the data, that's for sure. I wonder what that would look like if the WHO had given better advice, instead of giving the worst advice possible.

The media bias is unquestionable. Van Jones admitted on hidden camera that "Russian collusion is a big nothingburger" over a year before the Mueller report came out. CNN pimped that shit like gospel truth that whole time and made false accusations against Trump and his associates which were all predicated on the known-to-be-false investigation. Plus they lie about every other topic that comes out. Anyone who can watch 5 minutes of CNN and not catch them lying is an absolute idiot. CNN is to the Dems what TASS is to the Russian Gov't, what Xinhua is to the Chinese gov't, what CBC is to the Liberals, etc. KCNA in NoKo is the only state-run news agency in the world that can match CNN's level of dishonesty. Nothing else even comes close, and I'm including Fox News in that calculation. Fox is biased, but they don't lie unashamedly hundreds of times per week.

That's just a stupid comment. Things like meningitis aren't asymptomatic, or you may have a light cough for a while, they're seriously life-threatening.

I agree, I just want to see the whole thing, and not an edited version to make it look as incriminating as possible. I don't really know that whole story. She's truly an idiot. Case closed imo.

Nope Yeah, and it's a human problem. And a math problem. There are 1M cops in the US, having hundreds of thousands of tense interactions a day, it's impossible for shit not to go sideways sometimes. I don't think you can eliminate these things 100%, but charging the Minnesota cop with murder seems like a necessary step. Something's fishy in this case though, all the video that we have so far is edited to only show the cops looking bad. The guy did something to end up on the ground like that, we just don't know what it was yet. I'm not saying it was bad enough to deserve death by knee-squash, I'd just like to see the whole story.

The courts in the US already ruled that you have no right to protest at work. Do you think you can go to your day job and wear a t-shirt that says "Fuck Trudeau" and your boss has no recourse? (no, I didn't try that lol. self-employed) CK wasn't "blackballed", he was fired, just like you or I would be. Any intelligent person can understand that. FYI it's not just white people that bring guns to protests FYI. Black panthers did it as recently as 2015.

Bad killings by cops aren't super rare. It's not like it's "once every ten years". It just seems like when they're black it's automatically "RACISM!!!!" It's just murder unless there's some sort of racist comment or something. I saw a video about two weeks ago of a cop that killed a young white kid, probably 19-25 yrs old. The cop shot him twice before he hit the ground, then he shot him two more times about 5 seconds later. IMO he didn't need to be shot in the first place, but if the first two shots weren't fatal it was definitely murder. The kid wasn't about to attack anyone.

Can I protest police brutality by shitting on your lawn, lighting your car on fire, or would my protest lack precision? IDGAF what he thinks he was protesting. He was shitting on the anthem, the entire flag, not just a portion of it. Dead kids get wrapped in that flag and flown home from combat zones, period. He disrespected the flag, period. Anyone who doesn't understand that is just an idiot. If he wants to find a way to protest that's up to him, but 1) he's not allowed to protest at work (Americans don't have that right) 2) he needs to find the right way to do it.

I'm not arguing that Joe Scarborough couldn't "win" a libel suit against Trump, I'm just saying that if he opens up that can of worms and goes into a court to talk about libel Trump can get Joe on 75 libel suits. Trump would have to pay JS $10M, JS would have to pay Trump $1.5 Trillion. It's not a good idea for Joe to play "Who's the biggest, sleaziest liar?"

1, I never asked if you ever accused anyone of committing murder. 2, there was not a ruling, just a determination from the corner. I’m not normally that big on semantics but the use of the word ruling was just misleading in this context. It’s unfortunate that Trump went at Joe Scarborough like that, but honestly it’s even more unfortunate that a lowlife like Joe Scarborough, Rachel Maddow or Lawrence O’Donnell still have national platforms to spread their feces on America. By the time that a media personality has gotten down to a 10% accuracy rating, and they’re a constant source of false allegations, they should not be allowed on TV anymore. I’m not talking about relying on some fake fact-checker like Snipes or politifake, I’m talking about an actual fair review of a media personality’s comments where they have a chance to defend themselves.
