Yeah Bush_Cheney knows the path to victory, and we can easily beat up on the forum, even with one hand tied behind our back, so no big deal. If they don't want to hear how unrealistic their ideals are in the face of reality, well that's to be expected.

I expected as much coming in, no real surprises there. This thread topic is a perfect example of that, because Canada is caught in the middle of a Rah-Rah Merica' and Franco-Commie China trade dispute, the White Knuckled Nanny Police Staters of the forum demand that Canada virtue signal that it has the moral high ground on China by suspending relations with them. Even when it's pointed out that doing so would hurt Canada and Canadians more than it hurts China and the Chinese, they simply do not care, all that matter to them is the virtue signaling, consequences be damned.

Yeah, wouldn't touch the moderators jobs with a ten foot pole, Kath Knows. His house, his rules indeed, but we aren't breaking any rules, and he's being a touch heavy handed, though he's obviously within his rights to do so. When in Rome, do as the Romans do, I'm down, but moderation would be wise to ease up, though they are free to ignore that advice.

It's not off-topic, it's just an insightful related side tangent, but forum moderation apparently doesn't cotton such high level discussion of a topic, and considers that to be off-topic. Oh well, they are only hurting themselves if they want to shut down a thread for that reason, no insight for them.

Canada shouldn't suspend relations with either America or China, yet somehow, comparing America to Canada or China, in part to make that point, is off-topic. Moderator Overkill.

Most American voters are sheep, Trump's base is no exception, why that triggers you so much, I have no idea. /shrugs

I, for one, don't think that regime change is Saudi Arabia is the way to go, that would just make things worse terrorism wise. There is no good option to rule Saudi Arabia, so you deal with the least worst option, makes plenty of sense. Canada needs China more than China needs Canada, I see no reason to deny the "Confucius" society type organizations the right to free speech, I see no reason not to take Chinese students or foreign workers. I see no reason to prevent Chinese companies from investing in Canada, and I don't see screening on Chinese immigrants to be as lax as you seem to imagine. You want to ramp up combating Chinese hackers, that I can get on board with, the rest of your post is simply an ill-founded anti-Chinese diatribe. Last I checked, comparing America to Canada, and to Commies, like the Chinese, is part of the topic being discussed, saying it's off topic to discuss some of America's admirable qualities in relation to some of China and Canada's flaws is overkill on moderating related side tangents.

Irony FTW, it's like Flynn was asking the political gods to smite him, hehe.

Yeah but only because it turned the chant around on the people who popularized the chant, and even then, it only works as a short-term laugh with no staying power, so if you factor turnaround out of the equation, it's not as funny.

Trump Haters are far more counter-productive than Hillary Haters when it comes to display's of derangement syndrome, that's a big reason Trump won the election in the first place, his haters pissed off more Americans in key swing states than Hillary's Haters did. If you don't think chanting "lock her up", in reference to Hillary Clinton of all people, is funny, then you need to get your sense of humor checked.

When you're number one, a lot people hate on you, no matter what you do, including terrorists. Acting like terrorists would never attack America if they had a different foreign policy is to project on the terrorists, sure US foreign policy has occasionally made for a good recruiting tool for terrorists, but without it, there would be plenty of terrorism and they'd likely target the United States. Also when it comes to communists screwing the pooch, China inspires plenty of terrorism itself, or haven't you noticed? Making your opponent quit the fight because they don't think the fight is worth it anymore, especially when it's the British Empire at the top of it's game, impressive as f***, quite the upset, even in hindsight. Also, The US not being all that desirable is clearly partially a backwards rationalization on the part of British Empire to fool themselves into thinking losing wasn't that bad anyway, "At Least We Didn't Lose India" lulz. As for something a little more on topic: Canada suspending relations with China, would hurt Canada far more than it hurts China, so obviously, it's a bad idea to do so, and not mention it's vacuous virtue signaling which will accomplish nothing. China isn't going to clean up it's act because Canada tries to push them around, if anything, Canada is going to come begging to China to forgive them for trying to force China to clean up their act, when they finally come to their senses, if they ever went down that road for some baffling reason.

Last I checked the Chinese are communists, and pretty much the only thing they are good for, is getting killed by the regime they helped put in power. Shutting down every little side tangent is a little tiresome, I gotta say, I get trying to keep things on topic as a moderator, but there is a thing called overkill.

Jesse Knows.

If I were Marleau, I sure as fuck wouldn't want to play for the LA Kings either, but Rob Blake would be over the moon to have him, that I can tell you.

If y'all had thrown in an overpaid old dude, like Marleau, you probably could have fleeced him even harder. Rob Blake loves himself some overpaid old dudes, bet that. I have no idea why, but he wants them all playing for The LA Kings.

Rob Blake has been making a hard go at being one of the worst GMs in the NHL, over the last two years, he starting to work his way into consideration, at the very least.

Praising people you plan on negotiating with? Beyond the pale! Calling out the news for being biased and deliberately misleading people? Beyond the pale! Calling out a special investigation with a special prosecutor for being a political witch hunt? Beyond the pale! Damn that Trump, He just can't keep getting away with it! lulz

It really is. Commies f*** everything up, especially revolutions against monarchs. They are so bad at it, they couldn't f*** up harder, if they were deliberately trying to f*** up. Pretty much the only thing they are good for is getting themselves killed by the very regime they help put in power.

That LA Dumpster Fire got robbed blind, well played Dubas, exploitation ftw.

The American Revolution went so well, that people all over the world wanted to try it for themselves, but what they found out was, rebelling against Monarchs is nowhere near as easy as America made it seem, and no one managed to replicate their success on the same level, not even close. France knows.

Muzzin is a good fit for Avs East, and the extra spending money for rentals still being available is icing on the cake.

When the British were on top of the world, and had basically just finished whooping up on the French in North America, America pulling that off was essentially considered impossible, until a ragtag group of Revolutionary Americans proved it wasn't. The Miracle and The Shot Heard Round The World, are labels that don't even do it justice, really.

Dubeezus strikes again indeed, covers the loss of J-Gards in the immediate window, while giving up no roster players. Thus far, Dubas has been doing a damn fine job.

America has plenty of admirable qualities, if Dougie failed to give America dap for those qualities, then that would be calling it as he doesn't see it. Dougie is calling out problems as he see's them, you're just mad that he points out too many of Canada's flaws and points out too many of America's strengths for your knee-jerk anti-American sentiment to handle. You may not see America's admirable qualities, and lots of Canadian Eskimo Communists clearly don't, but that doesn't mean everyone else is as blind as y'all are.

And his competition is non-existent, Trudeau doesn't have to be Usain Bolt, he just has to keep the left from splitting, and it will be a cake walk. Trudeau's base doesn't hate him, and they aren't about to vote NDP, you want Trudeau to be more hated than he actually is, but he isn't. Stop projecting your own views on the electorate, it's clearly wishful thinking that is leading to faulty analysis.
