Putin supported Trump and said so openly while Trump fawned all over him in the most cuckolded beta-male way. CNN supported Trump now. That’s new. The hot mic moment was an actual event that happened, and it leaves one wondering why Obama could be more free to negotiate after an election. Why would he negotiate things with Russia if he knew that they would hurt him in an election? You know that acting against the best interests of your own country is a bad thing, right? The hot mic moment was nothing consequential. Of course governments have more room to manoeuvre after an election. Republicans are easily fooled by completely benign discussions if they’re caught on a “hidden cam” or a hot mic because just by its nature it feels like you’re listening in on juicy gossip. Republican propagandists like the Project Veritas convicted criminal love to take advantage of that and present the footage to a willing audience as something it’s really not.

LMAO yeah right! Trumpsters are the antithesis of people who believe in a rule book for everyone. For them, right or wrong is based solely on the logic of “who’s side are you on”.

Ah the selective outrage over presidents exercising their constitutional right to issue executive orders. It only bothers you when Democrats use it. Did you know Trump signed more executive orders during hos first 100 days in office than any president in HISTORY??? Did you know in Trumps one term he issued almost as many as Obama did in both terms? You probably didn’t but it wouldn’t have bothered you even if you did. Ignorance and hypocrisy go hand-in-hand with Trump supporters. Just like Republicans threw a fit over Obama’s EOs even though it was fewer than either Bush Jr or Reagan Personally I don’t think it matters. If your predecessor issued 1000 terrible orders them you should issue 1000 of your own to reverse them all not fixate on some pretend magic number. Up next: your selective outrage over presidential vacation. Again Trump each and Bush Jr took more vacation than Obama and Trump is the all/time record holder. But let’s bet that Republican hypocrites will only become outraged by Bidens vacations just like they were only outraged over Obama’s Oh and the last time Giuliani tried to tuck his junk in he ended up in a Borat movie so maybe he should just stick to dying his hair. Now that Trump has fired him as his lawyer he probably has lots of free time to experiment with brands that don’t hilariously run down his face

Wait this is on CNN? How is this possible you rightists always claim CNN is liberal propaganda It’s almost like you’re full of shit or something!

Who cates about “the most “. Only an idiot would think Canada should allow in to the same number as a population ten times its size. We have a higher RATE. And more importantly the percentage of our immigrants who are highly skilled and educated economic migrants is 12x that of US immigrants who are mostly just coming because they are relatives of people already in the US. Canada No. 1 for Migrants, U.S. in Sixth Place September 23, 2020 by Neli Esipova, Julie Ray and Dato Tsabutashvili This is the second of two articles analyzing the results from Gallup's second administration of its Migrant Acceptance Index. WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Canada and the U.S. remained among the most-accepting countries in the world for migrants in 2019. In fact, with a score of 8.46 (out of a possible 9.0) on Gallup's second administration of its Migrant Acceptance Index, Canada, for the first time, led the rest of the world. The U.S. ranked sixth, with a score of 7.95. https://news.gallup.com/poll/320669/canada-migrants-sixth-place.aspx Got s recent link for your net immigration claim?

Per capita we do better Immigrants Flock To Canada, While U.S. Declines Stuart AndersonSenior Contributor Leadership Strategy I write about globalization, business, technology and immigration. New data show the number of people immigrating to Canada increased by 26% between 2015 and 2019, and is projected to rise higher as the country seeks to overcome the aging of its workforce – a serious problem in all Western nations. In the United States, legal immigration fell by 7% between FY 2016 and FY 2018, and is expected to decline even more sharply due to Trump administration policies. https://www.google.ca/amp/s/www.forbes.com/sites/stuartanderson/2020/02/18/immigrants-flock-to-canada-while-us-declines/amp/ I'm not comfortable living here': More Americans did actually try to move to Canada since Trump's 2016 election OTTAWA -- When Donald Trump won the presidential election in November 2016, many Americans threw up their hands and threatened to flee north of the border to live out the rest of their days in chillier climes. And according to new figures from the government, some of them may have actually followed through on that threat. Advertisement Canada saw an uptick in Americans trying to move to Canada following Trump's win, according to the new figures from Immigration Canada. In 2015, a little over 6,800 Americans tried to apply for permanent residency in Canada, followed by just over 7,700 in 2016. But in 2017, the year of Trump's inauguration, that figure jumped to over 9,000. The number has yet to dip below 8,700 in the years since, although 2020 is on track to fall far below the years previous — likely related to the COVID-19 pandemic, which has seen borders shutter and travel restricted. https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/america-votes/i-m-not-comfortable-living-here-more-americans-did-actually-try-to-move-to-canada-since-trump-s-2016-election-1.5064819

Lions and tigers and bears oh my! What nonsense just another word salad of conservative trigger words. How can Democrats be illegals, who cant vote or run for office? Or are ypu now going to tell me about Obamacare Kenyan birth certificate? And can you even describe the difference between a Marxist, a Communist and a Socialist? I know you use those words interchangeably but definitely 2 of the 3 are not Democrats and even the the third is a rare breed in the party

Per capita, Canada welcomed the same amount of immigrants under its family category and 12 times more legal immigrants under its economic category as the United States that year.[5] https://www.wilsoncenter.org/article/layered-look-canadian-and-us-immigration

The GOP is lousy with white supremacists and anti-semites. Doesn’t mean they all are. But it’s a growing Republican faction

But all that REALLY matters at the end of the day is this: it’s better to live in Canada than the US. Because the quality of life is better. Everything else is unimportant.

Another dispatch from Conservative Paradise: One Texas Resident Still Has Power, but His Bill Is Now Over $8,000 A Texas resident's power bill increased over $7,700 this month as the outages and severe weather in the area rose the cost of electricity. Royce Pierce, a 38-year-old contractor and Texas resident owes power company, Griddy, $8,162.73 for his electricity use in February. The total was a steep increase compared with his bill for his two-story home last month, which was $387.79. "It's mind-blowing. I honestly didn't believe the price at first," Pierce told the Daily Beast. "It's not a great feeling knowing that there is a looming bill that we just can't afford." Pierce noted that his family has been trying to use less electricity in an effort to keep down costs. These efforts include turning down the thermostat to 50 degrees and not using the lights or the oven. ....Griddy's customers are exposed to the real-time fluctuations in wholesale power markets as members pay a $9.99 monthly fee and then pay the direct cost of the electricity on Texas's power grid based on the time of day they used it...... https://www.newsweek.com/one-texas-resident-still-has-power-his-bill-now-over-8000-1570343

Actually I bet they do

Do the Mongolians have a much better quality of life than the Chinese and facepalm at the increasingly bizarre antics and misery of the Chinese?

I would say that the quality of life is much better for the average Canadian than it is for the average American. To the extent that we benefit from the US economy and its exploitation of the rapidly deteriorating average American, one could question who are REALLY the vassals.

America has been gradually transitioning to failed state status for 40 years as politicians from both parties have handed power from government to corporations and wealthy elites who lurk outside of the spotlight. Corporations and billionaires have simply become too wealthy and powerful relative to the rest of society, the balance of power has irreversibly shifted in their favour. America is like any number of countless failing kingdoms in history, where US government is like the figurehead monarch who still sits on the throne and laws are still passed in his name but the kingdom is really run by a cabal of mandarins, viziers and local warlords who constantly jockey for power, who in Americas case are the corporations, donors and lobbyists. Nothing short a Bernie Sanders in every elected office could even scratch the surface of the problem and Sanders is unelectable in American society. Unfortunately America is on a one-way trip to shithole country status no matter which party is in power and the Republicans are only making it happen faster

I repeat: America is both a democracy and a Republic. The 2 are not mutually exclusive.

Yeah ok that’s why Putin supported Trump because he really liked Obama freezing those billions of Oligarch money. The billions that Trump said he wanted to give back. Good one pal. Your crackpot hot mic moment is another Republicans made up controversy when you tale something benign and then pretend it’s something it isn’t. Trumtards spent the first half of the Trump presidency claiming Trump was a peacemaker bringing America back from the brink of war with Russia started by the warmongering Obama. This is how they defended Trump constantly licking Putin’s balls and bending over for him. That story didn’t really go over well so of course they eventually tried to flip the narrative but nobody really buys that either

And yet the Republican base was 100% for it, based or fraudulent threat claims that were deliberately fabricated by the Bush regime. There’s a pattern here: Republicans increasingly relying on GREAT BIG LIES, and blatantly false lies not just the usual petty or hard-to-prove politician lies.

This ridiculous made-in-Russia line that Republicans have using lately in order to justify their anti-democracy tactics. It’s what you’ll recite when you’re hailing your next leader as dictator for life. America is both a democracy and a Republic. The 2 are not mutually exclusive. And no matter how you try to spin it, nothing is comparable ti Trump’s false fraud claims and baseless lawsuits and smears of the integrity of the electoral system that dragged out for 2 months and culminated with his sack of the Capitol

Texas shows that when you cannot govern, you lie. A lot. Incompetence is not the purview of one party. But when you view politics as theater and grievance-mongering, chances are you are going to shortchange governance. Elect a president with no public-sector experience, no interest in learning, no desire to hire competent people and no ability to accept responsibility, and you get something like the covid-19 debacle. Moreover, if your party is hostile to government and exercising regulatory power because it is beholden to a donor class and right-wing ideologues, you will not be prepared for disasters when they strike. And that brings us to Texas. The Post reports, “As millions of people across Texas struggled to stay warm Tuesday amid massive cold-weather power outages, Gov. Greg Abbott (R) directed his ire at one particular failure in the state’s independent energy grid: frozen wind turbines.” There is one problem: That is not remotely true (as you might have guessed from a state with an enormous oil and gas sector). “The governor’s arguments were contradicted by his own energy department, which outlined how most of Texas’s energy losses came from failures to winterize the power-generating systems, including fossil fuel pipelines.” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Tex.), who had declared during last summer’s wildfires that California is “unable to perform even basic functions of civilization, like having reliable electricity,” had to eat crow: Ted Cruz @tedcruz I got no defense. A blizzard strikes Texas & our state shuts down. Not good. Stay safe! The Hill @thehill Texas lawmakers' tweets mocking California power outages resurface amid winter storm http://hill.cm/FL58lsd

I didn’t say Trump is anti-semite I said his party is lousy with them. And plenty of anti-semites are pro-Israel because they are Christian nuts who think supporting Israel will spark the final holy war that results in the Second Coming

It’s more Red state mismanagement. ICYMI from the Future of Republicans thread: BeaverFever 113 Posted 9 hours ago “Compassionate Conservatism” at work LMAO In conservative paradise, government’s job is to do absolutely nothing, even during a state of emergency, except tweet out drunken rants berating and mocking those in need. Yet more evidence of the right-wing shitholes the Red states have become Texas mayor tells residents to fend for themselves during power outage: ‘Only the strong will survive’ By Tuesday morning, the residents of Colorado City, Tex., were getting anxious. More than 24 hours had passed since a deadly Arctic blast knocked out power across the state, leaving them without heat or electricity in below-freezing temperatures. To make matters worse, many also lacked running water, forcing them to haul in heavy buckets of snow each time they needed to flush their toilets. Residents turned to a community Facebook group to ask whether the small town planned to open warming shelters, while others wondered if firefighters could do their job without water. But when Colorado City’s mayor chimed in, it was to deliver a less-than-comforting message: The local government had no responsibility to help out its citizens, and only the tough would survive. “No one owes you [or] your family anything,” Tim Boyd wrote on Tuesday in a now-deleted Facebook post, according to KTXS and KTAB/KRBC. “I’m sick and tired of people looking for a damn handout!” Boyd’s tirade, which also demanded that “lazy” residents find their own ways of procuring water and electricity, immediately drew backlash. Later on Tuesday, Boyd announced his resignation and admitted that he could have “used better wording.” Dangerous Arctic chill leaves more than a dozen dead, widespread power outages across the southern U.S. The controversy highlighted how one of the worst winter storms in decades is testing the limits of the embrace of self-sufficiency and rugged individualism in Texas. The state’s decision to skirt federal oversight by operating its own power grid is one of the main reasons that close to 3.3 million residents in Texas still lacked electricity by early Wednesday morning, while outages in other hard-hit states had dwindled to less than one-tenth of that size. As of late Tuesday, grid operators still couldn’t predict when the lights might turn on, and advocates were warning that Texas’s poorest and most vulnerable residents were at risk of freezing to death. At least 10 deaths in Texas have been linked to the winter storm since Monday, according to the Houston Chronicle. The failure to deliver basic services has angered countless Texans, including top-ranking elected officials. But in Colorado City, Boyd rejected the notion that municipal governments or utility companies had any obligation to provide paying customers with necessities like heat and running water during a catastrophic winter storm. https://www.google.ca/amp/s/www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/02/17/texas-mayor-power-outages-colorado/%3foutputType=amp Edited 9 hours ago by BeaverFever

Nothing like Trump’s assault on democracy

So what not anything similar to Trumps’s failed assault on democracy

Says the guy who thought Trump was going to overturn the election results. Your predictions are not very accurate
