Huh? The same polls that predicted Hillary's massive win also have Biden and everyone else in the Dem field beating Trump head-to-head. It's hard for the Dems to act like they need a new challenger. Buuuut.... if there's a surprise challenger to be feared it's actually Oprah imo. No joke. She would instantly have the black vote, the female vote, the snowflake vote, she has her own tv network (as if she needs one, CNN is already a full-time propaganda network) and she has the cash to wage a massive election battle. She might even have un-released video from her interviews with Trump that might be unflattering. If Oprah announced her candidacy, I'd be concerned. Even if she throws her entire weight behind a candidate I'll be worried. I'm not worried at all about Hillary or any of the sad sack losers in the dem Primary battle right now.

C'mon Rue, that's not even a reply it's a platitude. Trump has a lot to show for 3 years as POTUS and you know it. The widespread rioting, looting and arson that went on for most of 2014, all of 2015 and all of 2016 came to an end (Dems didn't even notice). Cop-hating is no longer America's favourite passtime. Isis is no longer a landholder, and that occurred in 1/5th of Obama's predicted timeline. Assad learned the hard way not to gas civilians. USA up 1-0. Syria and Russia warned the US not to do that again. Syria gassed more civilians, learned their final lesson, Syria and Russia completely failed to back up their previous threats. USA up 2-0. Iran learned the hard way not to attack Americans. The top two terrorists from islamic state are dead. The top two generals from Quds force (terrorists) dead. Hardly any US soldiers died in the past 3 years. 200 Russian soldiers were killed while advancing on a US base, Putin did squat Record low unemployment for women, blacks and hispanics. Wages going up by significantly more than Obama or bush. No new wars. Trade deals with China to protect intellectual property (even Chuck Schumer praised that). NATO spending is up. Wall is being built. Mexico is stopping illegals at their southern border. Tax cuts. Individual mandate gone. Military Aid went to Ukraine both before and after the phone call to Zelenski US Recession was just a Dem/CNN lie, there's no recession Stock market up by more than 50% now in just 3 years - record high by 9,000 points. Etc, etc. After 3 years, the US hasn't had any major setbacks, they've improved dramatically on several fronts. Biden/Obama = the rise of Isis, 3 years of rioting-looting-arson-copkilling America, Benghazi, the implementation of massive amounts of drone strikes, legalizing collateral damage and deaths to civilians caused by drone strikes, Biden tried to put the brakes on the attack that killed Bin Laden, Biden's kid hauled in barrels full of loot from Ukraine and China, no military aid for Ukraine, Crimea attacked with no response, Ukraine attacked with no response, etc, etc. With the benefit of hindsight, Trump walked all over Iran, Syria, Islamic State, and Russia these past 3 years. When they cross lines they pay bigtime and they don't retaliate. The US got rag-dolled while Obama was potus. Red lines were crossed and nothing happened, Iran got billions and kept moving towards nukes, islamic state grew from a Jr Varisty terrorist squad to one of the 100 largest countries on earth, etc. You lose 1,000 to negative 10 Rue. That's bad, unless you're CNN. Then it's just another day.

It's too bad for him that his parents brainwashed him into that religion, but he was a terrorist and there are lots of kids under the age of 16 who can carry a gun or a bomb and paying them off isn't sending the right message, unless you're Trudeau and you like Terrorists.

Crickets....

1) Judges ruled to increase the power of the judiciary, what a shocker. 2) you obviously don't know what a dictatorship looks like 3) I thought that you didn't like Canada, and white people (if you cry racism I'll just copy and paste your racist comments again so don't bother). Why are you suddenly so supportive of what a couple of old white dudes said and did? Is this a turning point for you?

Lmao jacee. If you read over that accusation again it's laughable: 1) why would people 'have to be forced to do it' if they were getting extra money for it? Can you honestly say that they were forced? How so? Don't you just mean they were bribed? 2) How did this come back on him? Was he proven to be a part of the scam? 3) I googled it and I think it probably should have come up on P1 if it was really a thing. I got results like him being mad at elections Canada for letting SNC and the Libs off the hook for a $100K scam, there were a few places where it mentioned the NDP were busted for scams like that, that was it. 4) Trudeau just got re-elected after doing several things that were far worse than that, so why would you say that such a scam, if it ever really happened, would put him out of the running? 5) Our finances couldn't possibly be any more screwed than they are. If Polievre runs a decent budget and just outright steals $3 billion we'll still be $10-15 Billion ahead of Trudeau on a good year.

l agree this impeachment is bullshit. I wasn't in favour of Clinton being impeached either and I still don't think he should have been, removing a President from office is too big of a deal - de-stabilizing the planet over a piece of ass (and felony witness tampering and lying under oath) is too extreme. Having said that, now that I'm more aware of all of the credible accusations of rape and sexual harassment that there were against Bill Clinton, I don't think that he should have ever made it to the oval office to begin with. It's also sad that Trump and Hillary made it to the leadership of their parties. Honestly this impeachment is a black eye on all forms of democratic governance. For people to stand in Congress and the Senate and openly lie, over and over again, just sets a horrible standard for the USA and the world. How can you teach your children 'the importance of telling the truth' when they're watching people at the highest levels of government, in some of the most sacred Democratic institutions on the planet, just lying like it's an awesome thing to do in the face of written evidence that literally everyone on the planet has access to? Such a sad time for the Democrat party. Literally pathetic.

Can we add Pierre Poilievre to the list? Also, is Wall in the running? He'd be my first choice if he is but I didn't see anything about it.

Now you're just lying. Drone strikes don't intentionally target civilians, and "civilian" casualties include terrorists whose names just aren't on the books yet. Eg, a supporter of al-baghdadi who was unknown to US intelligence who died in a drone strike counts as a civilian, but they're really not. If you're talking about how there were too many civilian casualties when Obama was Prez I agree. We can both dislike Obama but that ship has already sailed. What kind of stupid idea is that? People kill people with knives and swords ffs. How can you prove what their intent was? If they don't get swords they can kill with a rental truck. People who make bombs for terrorists are a different story. Those items are designed to kill humans illegally. But I know you don't have any animosity towards terrorists who make bombs....

Ok wise one, can you tell me what Trump has done in the ME that's so bad that you're still pouting about it? Can you tell me what Israel has done in their entire existence to compare to 3M murdered and 300,000 women raped? And that's not even counting the '40s when 10M people died in Pakistan's separation. I know you've got absolutely nothing, you're gonna weasel off on another topic to justify more terrorism, as usual. Talk about brainwashed. Just out of curiosity, where do you get most of your daily "news"/info from eyeball? You know I watch Fox for most of my news, I'm not afraid to say it. You can turn on Fox news any time you want and try to spot some of their lies (and don't count Juan Williams, he's just there to give the Dems' perspective). So whose info do you personally vouch for eyeball? Man up.

Don't go acting like you're calling out all the baddies while you're ignoring the worst ones of all. The fact that so many genocides occur in the ME should forewarn you of others to come. Genocide against Hindus in the Pakistan region go back well before the discovery of NA kid. Now you know.

Lie-fest will be over in a couple of days. No new witnesses are being allowed, but if they are, Hunter Biden will be among them. First two lies you have to understand about lie-fest: 1) When the Demmies repeatedly say "Zelenski talked about Javelins, and Trump came back with "I want a favour", and then Trump talked about Biden".... that's an outright lie. Trump talked about crowdstrike, and crowdstrike had nothing at all to do with Biden. Crowdstrike had everything to do with the Russian collusion investigation. Trump wanted to look into crowdstrike to clear his own name. 2) When Demmies say that Hunter Biden isn't a material witness in this case and therefor shouldn't be called to testify, that's a outright lie as well. Schiff made Hunter a material witness when he said that "Trump asked the Ukrainians for dirt on a political rival". See, there's no "dirt" if there was an actual crime, there's just a crime, and uncovering a crime is never a bad thing to do. There's just dirt if there's no evidence of a crime to start with and you want to investigate someone just to see if you can turn up something that you didn't know about when you started (like the Russian collusion investigation was deigned to do). The Republicans get to find out why Hunter and Joe lied about Joe's knowledge of Hunter's job at Burisma, and why they lied when they said that "Joe and Hunter never talked about Hunter's plans to do $500M in business with the Bank of China when they flew there together on AF2". Anyone with even half a brain knows that it appears obvious that the Bidens were carpet-bagging where they should have been working for the US gov't. Trump asking for an investigation was not unwarranted.

It must be nice to see the world through the eyes of a child. Ignorance is bliss. The US, as the dominant superpower on the planet, has been extremely friendly compared to what others like the Persians, Romans, Ottomans, Hun, Mongols, etc were like. The Japanese and Germans were horrible to POWs and civilians during WWII. The Pakistani gov't killed 3 million people in a civil war in 1970, that's more people than the Americans killed in all the wars they fought in put together. They also raped 300,000 women. That's militia-kicking-in-the-door-and-raping-you-in-front-of-your-kids rape. It's not like date "rape". From wiki, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_during_the_Bangladesh_Liberation_War : And yet you have never said a word about Pakistan and their insane, gov't-enforced bigotry. You're like a babe in the woods when it comes to understanding world politics. The second you hear anything anti-American you glom onto it like a dying man clutching at straws.

In Que they say "Si'l vous plait, parabellum for my CZ"?

Trudeau settled out of court because, as always, he sided with the terrorist (or 'fighter', as Trudeau calls them).

They took him into custody instead of killing him. It takes a special kind of asshole not to notice that.

Khadr was a terrorist with bomb-making videos on the internet, he was part of an illegal attack that killed an American soldier who was in uniform (and deserving the protection of the Geneva Conventions), Khadr pleaded guilty to killing the American and has never denied that he did it. None of that is disputed. It's all documented fact.

Lol. You're talking about a terrorist who put bomb-making videos on the internet to help other terrorists kill people, and it's the other people in the equation who are the assholes with no regard for the Geneva Conventions.... It takes a special kind of stupid...

Now you're just trolling because you know how stupid of a comment that is.

The only lesson learned was how much of an idiot Trudeau is.

Hopefully it's not Buttigieg. He can't even spell his own name.

Is the world waiting with breathless anticipation to see what's gonna happen or what?

After taking a second look at Rue's post, it appears as though Rue was at least partially, if not fully correct, and the Global News folks (subsequently me) are at least partially wrong. There are subsidized housing buildings in TO for various seniors groups, two artist groups, the amadiyya muslims and a german people's building. It's not clear which of the buildings are subsidized by the City of Toronto though: Global News identified the muslim-only building as city-funded but didn't say which of the other buildings are or aren't. In the case of the seniors' buildings this makes some sense, we have a person in our family who's going through Alzheimer's and it would be hard for him to live with a lot of people who don't speak english. He doesn't even do well with english speakers. I could see certain xxx-language-only seniors housing being subsidized by the city, but not to the same extent as a non-discriminatory seniors building. But by religion? Nyyyaaaaa. Too bad ya old racists. Definitely no city-subsidies for you. I don't know everything about the artist's buildings, I don't have the same level of sympathy for them as the language-needy seniors, but if the layout is geared towards art displays and it's privately funded - sure. I could see a bit of a gov't subsidy. It's taxpayers contributing to the arts. We give the CBC enough and get basically nothing from it. Ugh. It goes against my capitalist nature but whatever. In the case of the germanic building and the muslim building - utter bullshit. If the government is really funding these buildings which are purely racist in their conception and usage then it's outrageous. I'm not even comfortable with this type of building with any kind of a private subsidy - at all. There's no difference between this and what Trump did in NYC. If it wasn't cool then, the City of TO didn't just make it cool now. There's nothing stopping a huge bigot from getting a big, shiny Mandate-Only sticker on his new building, saying that it's subsidized, and charging bigots a premium to live in his building, where they don't have to worry about rubbing shoulders with people they consider to be inferior. Sorry Rue, you cranky old bastard. And you too dialamah. DON'T EVER COPY AND PASTE MY APOLOGY THOUGH!!!!!!!!!!! I'll deny it! I hope you can't read this.

Clearly, I did click on the link that he provided. Clearly, I did google some of the places on that list. Clearly, if there's something on that list that amounts to taxpayer-funded bigotry-housing, you need to do a better job of articulating it.

Funny how the local leftists a) ignore this and act like the fact that muslims want bigots-only housing isn't shameful or b) try to find justification for it. They just can't, for the life of them, agree that it's wrong. I'll admit that the thread name doesn't lend itself itself to constructive dialogue, that was done mainly in protest of the idiotic "Trump Actions Killed 63 Canadians" thread title that MLW refuses to change (yeah I complained, and not mildly either, I was a total little biotch about it). People were mad, rightfully so, that Trump's father had buildings that were (on the downlow) whites-only (or at least non-black, I don't know if Asians were allowed), at any rate they were segregated and bigoted. But the fact is that those buildings were privately-owned, there was a lot of money in it for them to do so, they did it at a time when it was (unfortunately) normal and their competitors were doing it. (I know that's not a good enough excuse but when you and some other guy both buy identical buildings for $1M each and he brings in $100K/year and you bring in $57K that's a tough pill to swallow. The list of people who will protest something wrong is a lot bigger than the list of people who will give up $43K/yr to do the right thing) It was still wrong back then, but it's even worse now when all of our society has come to agreement that it's completely unacceptable. The fact that our gov't is engaging in it and funding it is absurd and disgusting.
