  1. Yes just ask ask Stephen Harper, having 2 right wing parties that lost every election to the Liberals for a decade and a half was much better for them than a united conservative party that went on to rule for over a decade right? Please go ahead and split up
  2. So you’re officially denouncing pizzagate finally, is that what you’re saying? Because my recollection is you’ve always avoided giving a straight answer.
  3. I know what excess deaths are I mentioned it in my last post. I don’t understand what you’re trying to say...you’re claiming that there aren’t that many excess deaths?
  4. The official number of US excess deaths since the start of the pandemic has been posted on this site many times. Giving you the benefit of the doubt here it is again: as of the last measure (end of Q3 2020) it was 299k, of which most were directly caused by COVID. It’s probably closer to 500k now. Note that some of the remaining third may he indirectly caused by COVID, for example people who couldn’t get treatment for other health problems because hospitals were overwhelmed or because they lost their health insurance in America’s shitty health system or committed suicide when they lost their job in the pandemic Overall, an estimated 299,028 excess deaths occurred from late January through October 3, 2020, with 198,081 (66%) excess deaths attributed to COVID-19. The largest percentage increases were seen among adults aged 25–44 years and among Hispanic or Latino persons.
  5. The Supreme Court is what upholds “constitution rights”, not politicians
  6. Trump made $1.6 billion while president, according to financial disclosures, but left office less wealthy than before Donald Trump made at least $1.6 billion during his single term as US president. He could have made as much as $1.79 billion, according to financial disclosures. Much of the revenue came from Mar-a-Lago, his hotel in DC, and his American golf courses Donald Trump may have donated his $400,000 salary as president, but that represented just one-tenth of a percent of the money he made while the world's most powerful man. During his four-year term in office, Trump reported making between $1.6 and $1.79 billion, with some $620 million coming from the Mar-a-Lago resort, his hotel in the nation's capital, and three of his golf courses in the United States. As Insider previously reported, despite making hundreds of millions of dollars each year, Trump paid just $750 in federal income taxes for his first year in office. Overall, however, Trump appears to be less wealthy today than when he took office. In fall 2020, Forbes said the ex-president was now the 352nd richest person in America - down from 275 the year before, reflecting a drop in net worth from $3.1 billion to $2.5 billion. Struggling with debt, the former head of state deposited millions of dollars in 2020 campaign donations into the Trump Organization, according to a report by Forbs. https://www.google.ca/amp/s/news.yahoo.com/amphtml/news/trump-made-1-6-billion-015332054.html So he made billions in income from lobbyists and cronies and Saudis bribing him with visits his properties but after COVID and his failed reelection bid and his personal debts to god-knows-who his total wealth actually decreased No wonder he was so desperate to defraud his gullible supporters for more donations with his fake election fraud claims.
  7. The COVID victoms were not people whi were about to die anyway.
  8. North Dakota House passes bill forbidding mandatory mask wearing The bill's sponsor, state Rep. Jeff Hoverson (R), called mask mandates "diabolical silliness," characterizing them as a conspiracy run by "unelected, wealthy bureaucrats who are robbing our freedoms and perpetuating lies," the Herald reported. The number of COVID-19 cases declined after Burgum's mask mandate. The Herald also notes that health experts have attributed the drop to a combination of factors, including restrictions on businesses and increased social distancing. According to the newspaper, several GOP supporters of the state bill said they believe that mask wearing does nothing to slow the spread of COVID-19. Multiple health experts, including the nation's top infectious diseases expert, Anthony Fauci, have stated that mask wearing is essential to overcoming the coronavirus pandemic. The newspaper noted that masks are required in both chambers of the state legislature. However, the rule is not strictly enforced with House Speaker Kim Koppelman noting that the rule may be reexamined in the coming weeks. https://www.google.ca/amp/s/thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/539993-north-dakota-house-passes-bill-forbidding-mandatory-mask-wearing%3famp Republicans? It’s no longer enough for them to simply fail to do the right thing, they actually want to BAN others from doing the right thing too.
  9. No I don’t deal in conspiracy theories that’s the domain of the shrinking base of Trump supporters Hey in other news since someone brought up CPAC don’t you find it funny that the theme was anti-cancel culture and called “America Uncancelled” But then the organizers tweet this: CPAC 2021 @CPAC We have just learned that someone we invited to CPAC has expressed reprehensible views that have no home with our conference or our organization. The individual will not be participating at our conference. You gotta admit an anti-cancel culture event cancelling guest speakers for “reprehensible views” is pretty darn funny. Like one Twitter user pointed out it kinda reads like this sign: To be fair the specially invited guest speaker is in fact a known anti-semitte with numerous anti-semitic tweets so it is warranted....but wait wasn’t there someone denying there are anti-semites in the GOP? So how he became a specially invited star is a mystery! The Republican universe needs some explanation. This just keeps getting funnier and funnier
  10. That’s ok they’re not hurting for cash. Trump and Republicans collected almost $300 million in extra donations due to their baseless fraud claims and never spent a dime of it on the legal cases like they claimed. It’s all just a money making scheme I mean he named “prosperity gospel” scammer televangelists as his religious advisers. People who literally use religion to trick old, poor, sick and desperate people out of their modest income. Is it any wonder Trump is running the same scam?
  11. “It’s such a grand conspiracy even the Republicans are in on it!” ?? Even the judges who wanted to hear the case admitted that Trumps accusations didn’t involve enough votes to change the outcome of the election. You skipped over that part
  12. No this is the most accurate post on the topic. Even though really it should say 60+ failures but that’s just twisting the knife a little too much isn’t it?
  13. Once again, as everyone except the truly brainwashed predicted: Supreme Court rejects Trump election challenge cases WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Monday rejected a handful of cases related to the 2020 election, including disputes from Pennsylvania that had deeply divided the justices just before the election. The cases the justices rejected involved election challenges filed by former President Donald Trump and his allies in five states President Joe Biden won: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. Other than two Pennsylvania disputes, the justices’ decision not to hear the cases was unsurprising but ends months of legal wrangling. The court had previously taken no action in those cases and in January had turned away pleas that the cases be fast-tracked, again suggesting the justices were not interested in hearing them. What embarrasses you more @Infidel Dog? Is it the fact that you were hilariously wrong dozens and dozens of times over on this false election fraud nonsense? Or is it the fact that I was right??
  14. You should write that on the 9/11 memorial if you really believe it.
  15. No. Real men do not try to peak up women’s skirts on the golf course you pervert
  16. You lied and said Obama’s response was blankets. Full stop. It’s not a lie to say Trump froze aid because he did. For his baseless witch hunt to smear Hunter Biden. The lie in the above is that it was on Bidens behalf. The Ukrainian official was not investigating Burisma at the time USA advocated for his termination and when he had been investigating Burisma previously it was for alleged actions that occurred before Hunter was involved with the firm. The US and EU had been calling for his termination for a long time because he was a Russian-controlled puppet.
  17. You’re such a sucker for propaganda that’s not only debunked but clearly not even believable. Texas the oil and gas capital of America runs on green energy tech now? The windmills in frigid Canada are working just fine right now, dumbass. So are the ones in Antarctica Texas has some of the worst numbers for poverty, child poverty and number of uninsured. It faced an earlier deep freeze years ago and ignored recommendations to winterize the grid because climate change is a hoax and last time was seen as one-off that would never happen again. It’s a shithole.
  18. National or local, conservatives have always opposed all minimum wages. Because their corporate masters tell them to. And to pretend only Democrats bring in unskilled labour is joke. It’s something Republicans have obly recently spoke against in public but they continue to support in private GOP LAWMAKERS ASKED TRUMP FOR LOW-WAGE, MIGRANT WORKER VISAS https://theintercept.com/2020/08/26/gop-push-migrant-worker-visas/ Trump seeks deal on foreign workers that could anger base The business-friendly proposal is being pushed amid a stalled effort to more broadly overhaul immigration laws. https://www.google.ca/amp/s/www.politico.com/amp/news/2020/02/19/trump-foreign-workers-115991 The Trump family fashion line still makes clothes in China and Trump properties still employ migrant workers as groundskeepers, some of whom have turned out to be undocumented Republicans are hypocrites on the topic and their sentiments are fake.
  19. It’s completely true. Republicans pass laws legalizing all kinds of pollution and permitting previously banned brain damaging chemicals in drinking water, killed an Obama law prohibiting financial advisors from misleading their customers, in Tennessee they required citizens to pay the fire department a $1,000 annual “fire protection subscription” or else they let your house burn down, rollback workplace safety laws and enforcement, roll back/freeze the minimum wage, give internet providers new powers to limit your service n ways that were previously illegal , endless tax cuts for the mega-rich and corporations, and of course the Texas Republican mayor who basically just told his constituents to go fuck themselves and to “sink or swim” during a deadly emergency Are any of those issues blue collar workers are concerned with?
  20. The “blue collar party” whose central beliefs include: - billionaires and corporations are hard done by and must be coddled at all costs, - workers are spoiled, greedy and lazy parasites by nature who should just be eternally grateful for the opportunity to do any work at all - wealth always trickles down from the billionaires and corporations but only to those who most “deserve” it by sacrificing the most - Anyone can be a billionaire if they want to and money solves most problems, therefore if you have any problems like unaffordable health care, poison tap water, a dishonest financial advisor or even a house on fire, schools filled with mould and no winter heating, its your own fault for not chosing to make more money. Government doesn’t owe you a damn thing. Or as one Texas Republican told his constituents during the current state of emergency: “Only the strong survive and the weak will parrish[sic]” You know, ”BLUE COLLAR VALUES!”
  21. Considering they’re mostly Republicans they probably do believe those things. But they’re also outraged about chickenshits like Cruz who cut and run in their hour of greatest need. No Texas is full of conservative thugs They were outraged too Texas GOP congressman knocks Cruz for Cancun trip and says when a crisis hits, 'I'm not going to go on some vacation Texas GOP Rep. Michael McCaul on Sunday delivered a pointed rebuke of Sen. Ted Cruz following his much-criticized trip to Cancun, Mexico, as a winter disaster rocked Texas last week. "Look, when a crisis hits my state, I'm there. I'm not going to go on some vacation," McCaul, the top Republican on the House Foreign Affairs committee, told CNN's Dana Bash on "State of the Union" Sunday. "I know Mr. Cruz called it a mistake and he's owned up to that, but I think that was a big mistake and as for me, I was on the ground trying to help my people out and my constituents, and that's what we should be doing in a time of crisis," he added. As an official elected to federal office, Cruz doesn't have an on-the-ground role in the response to the storm, but natural disasters are often a time in which constituents reach out to their elected officials for help and access to resources. While Cruz navigated the fallout of his trip, two of his Democratic political adversaries -- Beto O'Rourke and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez -- raised money and offered resources to Texans hit hard by the winter storm. Ocasio-Cortez, a Democratic congresswoman from New York, launched a fundraiser, with her press secretary saying Sunday she'd raised nearly $5 million for Texans affected by the storm. And O'Rourke, who unsuccessfully challenged Cruz for Senate in 2018, ran a virtual phone bank to contact senior citizens in Texas, to connect them with resources during the disaster. McCaul praised their work Sunday, saying, "I think it's great that they're crossing party lines to help Americans first, and not just Republican or Democrats." "And I think that's, you know, the way it really should be." https://www.google.ca/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2021/02/21/politics/ted-cruz-cancun-texas-michael-mccaul-cnntv/index.html Luckily Texans could count on Beto and AOC to pick up the slack for Ted
  22. Don’t worry, I don’t. Hate is such a right wing ideal, it’s not part of my character.
  23. And yet Texans and Republicans were outraged and Cruz came back the very next day apologizing and changing his story more times than he changed his underwear. So while YOU’RE not sure, everyone else seems to be. And he wasn’t the only Republican cut and run: Texas state lawmaker Gary Gates took a private jet to Florida. Republicans are elitists who set the peasants up for misery with while they live in luxury. Clearly. But yet go on to offer your admittedly uninformed opinions on the subject anyway. The dumbest thing I’ve heard all day, especially about a state as red as Texas. Although you already admitted you have no idea what you’re talking about. It’s actually only 10%. And it’s hilarious that you think in an oil and gas right wing state like Texas windmills are the problem. And Funny the windmills are working just fine here in the Canadian winter and everywhere else in the world right now, even in Antarctica so it’s laughable that you’d be so gullible to believe frozen windmills are the problem and not the frozen oil, coal and gas plants. Once again we see how the corporatist conservativeshave under-regulated the private sector and under-invested in infrastructure.
  24. Proud Boys sacked the Capitol with the goal of executing the VP, members of Congress and overturning the presidential election and you defend them. You’re a Terrorist sympathizer. You don’t have to be white to be racist. He’s also a convicted criminal and an ex-con. Not surprising you admire him. Ad hominem attacks against sources that report inconvenient facts and playing the old “media conspiracy” card is not a rebuttal. Do you even know what you’re denying? Is it that the oath keepers have been indicted or that they provided security to Stone? Because they’re both easy to prove and matters of public record. There’s video of it here: https://abcnews.go.com/US/video-surfaces-showing-trump-ally-roger-stone-flanked/story?id=75706765 YOU’RE THE LIAR and you have no knowledge of anything on the topic so stop pretending you do. That photo is from that one and only time on record they met, in 2005. Those are the only known facts. Anything else you claim is an invention made up by you or some other Republican liar. Do you really believe smiling in a photo is “proof “ that they have a secret decades long relationship with the people in the picture Hey dumbass Mateen used the following perfectly legal weapons not the AK And anyway AK-47s were not illegal in Florida at the time Sig Sauer MCX semi-automatic rifle Glock 17 semi-automatic pistol And literally every shooting is a gun control issue. And he targeted gays deliberately which also makes it a hate crime issue. No you’re the anti-Muslim party. And of course the right wing terrorist attacks on the Capitol, the Pittsburgh synagogue and the Trump supporter who sent those mail bombs. Right wing extremists aka “Very fine people” have emboldened by Trump from day 1. In fact Wikipedia lists 22 terrorist attacks or attempted attacks since Trump took office.
  25. So to recap you’re totally dodging the subject of the actual disaster Republicans have caused in Texas with some meaningless generic diatribe about liberals, referencing made-up things that don’t exist or make sense like “murder zones” and “ rights of criminals to carry illegal guns”.
