  1. These comics aren’t so much funny as they are accurate. The commentary is spot on
  2. Nothing is misinterpreted. The nonsense you desperately spew out doesn’t even make sense to you and then when you’re ridiculed for it you try to change your story after the fact and claim you’ve been misinterpreted. It’s sad but at the same time amusing.
  3. No no punishing alr-right criminals for their crimes is fascist don’t you see? “Fascist” simply means anything the an alt-righty doesn’t happen to like: abortion, medical marijuana, gays, Islam, atheism, pineapple on pizza, whatever the possibilities are endless! It’s been well established that the new Republican right doesn’t believe in laws or rules. They believe people “on their side” should be rewarded and protected and above the law. Conversely they believe people “on the other side” whom they hate are “below the law” and should have no rights or protections and should be persecuted. The law is not something they believe everyone has to follow rather they see it simply as a convenient excuse to go after their enemies. Meanwhile, for an example of actual fascism: A reporter was kicked out of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's town hall and threatened with arrest for asking a question Kelsey Vlamis A local TV reporter said she was threatened with arrest and removed from a town hall meeting with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene Wednesday night for asking a question. Meredith Aldis, a reporter with the Chattanooga, Tennessee, station WRCB, tweeted that she attended the meeting in Dalton, Georgia, and was told she was not allowed to ask questions to Greene or anyone else in the building.
  4. Election fraud is clearly different than an effigy of Trump’s head and Twitters brief(16-day) blocking of that Post article. But the way that article was not verified as accurate In other Trump news: After difficulty finding any lawyers willing to represent him at his upcoming impeachment trial,Trump’s impeachment legal team has now quit en masse out of frustration over his constant lies and idiocy, leaving him without representation with less than 2 weeks to go before the hearing begins ?
  5. Yes and you do both.....and so did that “American hero” McCarthy you admire so much
  6. I wonder what the mods would think if I pastes said idiotic comments from CKA here. Seems it would be a little unsporting. But you definitely said each and every one of those things.
  7. Given that you just called a well-known and notorious villain “an American hero” I think we can all continue to dismiss your observations and musings as ignorant and uninformed. This might have to go on your list of “greatest misses” along with some of your previous pearls of wisdom : -slavery was actually quite comfortable that’s why we have so many black people - there were just as many white slaves as black slaves -rich people don’t have any advantages over poor or working class people, they’re simply genetically superior - When Heather Heyer was run over by a speeding right wing white supremacist in a sports car and died immediately, getting hit by the car had nothing to do with her death, which was actually due to an obesity-caused heart attack that by pure coincidence happened at the exact same second she was stuck by the vehicle. keep spewing your nonsense it never ceases to entertain!
  8. It’s time to abolish the costly, meaningless governor general job 2 hrs ago In the 40 months that Julie Payette was Canada’s governor general she read two throne speeches, officiated once over the dissolution of Parliament, swore in some 30 cabinet ministers and wrote her signature on several dozen pieces of legislation. That basically was the sum total of her primary duties. She also spent a bit of time meeting children, cutting ribbons and handing out public service awards. By all accounts, Payette hated doing many of these tasks — to the point she even stopped doing some of them. Total cost of operating her office over those 40 months? A staggering $120 million! Think about it: Canada spends more than $35 million a year for a position that’s a largely ceremonial relic of British colonialism. Indeed, it seems like the perfect job — the workload is light, the pay is $288,900 a year, the benefits are spectacular, including an inflation-adjusted pension of $149,484 a year for life for a job that lasts just five years, a large staff ($19 million a year), servants, chauffeur-driven vehicles and two official residences, Rideau Hall in Ottawa and La Citadelle in Quebec City ($9 million annually). You can add in travel and offices expenses of up to $206,000 a year afteryou’ve left the job plus several million dollars for you to set up a charity. And when the job gets a bit tough, there’s a slew of legal and constitutional experts on hand to tell you what to say and do. Surely all that money could be better spent, such as on health care or turning the governor general’s “homes” into centres for higher education, technology or Indigenous art. In truth, it’s a silly, irrelevant job filled with pomp and ceremony but nothing of real substance. What to do about the governor general’s office is being asked in the days following Payette’s sudden resignation last week amid charges she was abusive with her staff. Sadly, much of the discussion has centred on how to “reform” and “modernize” the office, how to “democratize” the selection process and who would be best to replace Payette as the Queen’s representative in Canada. Instead, the real question that should be asked is why Canada even needs a governor general. The so-called “experts” say the job is too important to ditch it, dismissively suggesting that those of us who favour abolishing the post don’t understand “tradition” and “constitutional law” and that, gee whiz, without a governor general in charge the whole country could come tumbling down and chaos would ensue. Hogwash! The last time a so-called “crisis” occurred was almost 100 years ago, back in 1926 when in the King-Byng affair then governor general Lord Byng of Vimy declined a request by Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King to dissolve Parliament and call an election. In the absence of a governor general, the few official duties required of the post could be easily filled by others. For example, the chief justice of the Supreme Court of Canada could swear in cabinet ministers, dissolve Parliament when asked by the prime minister and sign legislation into effect. In fact, that’s what the current Chief Justice of Canada Richard Wagner has been tasked to do following Payette’s resignation. Also, the Speaker of the House could read the throne speech. MPs and senators could cut ribbons and hand out honorary pins. Payette’s resignation should also force every Canadian to ask themselves the embarrassing — dare I say, humiliating — question of why we continue to have a foreign monarch as our head of state. I’d bet most Canadians don’t have a clue what the governor general does or that she represents Queen Elizabeth, Canada’s head of state. I’d wager even more that most people believe Justin Trudeau is our head of state, when it’s actually a sweet 94-year-old great-grandmother living in England. Payette’s resignation offers all of us the chance to give serious thought to leaving our colonial past behind. Really, what does it say about our national pride if we merely “reform” this expensive relic of Canada’s ties to Britain — rather than abolishing it as we should.

  9. Wrong again! McCarthy (a Republican) is widely remembered as an American witch-hunting villain. Even the beloved idiot and failed 1-term president you foolishly worship knew that:
  10. You sir are an honourable man! Well done! It was fun an thank you for being a man of your word!
  11. Ok @sharkmantime for you to become $100 poorer as you promised You can make the donation here under the name Sharkman-MLW or something like that https://ca.gofundme.com/f/9v4q2-justice-for-breonna-taylor?qid=d58b11b52f5c1b61f4a9c545a680fcee Once you’re done please let me know so I can check it out!
  12. Using his phoney fraud claims to hound his supporters for donations “to stop the steal” and in the fine print it says the money raised isn’t going toward his failed lawsuits instead is going to his PAC slush fund. Trump Reaps $207.5 Million After Loss as Donors Answer His Fury READ MORE: Trump Hits Up Donors for Court-Fight Funds He Can Use Elsewhere The fine print in those solicitations says that 75% of money given to TMAGA will go to Save America, a political action committee Trump set up that allows him to spend the money on political activity, including holding rallies, advertising, fundraising, travel and supporting other candidates. The balance goes to the Republican National Committee. The PAC is an alternative to raising money for the campaign directly, which is limited in what it can do with the cash in its coffers. Unless he officially files as a candidate running for president in 2024, Trump’s campaign can only raise money to pay down debts, fund his legal challenges or pay for modest wind-down expenses, said Larry Noble, a former general counsel at the FEC. https://www.google.ca/amp/s/www.bloomberg.com/amp/news/articles/2020-12-11/trump-reaps-207-5-million-after-loss-as-donors-answer-his-fury Amd then there’s all the government businesses that’s been redirected to businesses owned by Trump and patronage of Trump businesses by lobbyists, foreign governments and Republican sycophants trying to gain his favour
  13. They’re literally not smart enough to understand that. In their simple minds you are either one or the other. They get nosebleeds trying to imagine anything different. I’ve long noted that Black-and-White thinking and difficulty with nuances or gradients is a hallmark of many the far Right On the other hand, a few righties are smart enough to understand these things but it’s unhelpful to them so they just lie and falsely accuse because oversimplification and dishonesty and “ends justify means” logic is another of their hallmarks
  14. LMAO I’m lying by providing a direct quote from Crowdstrike? Once again you’re too simple to understand what’s being said. An accused killer’s DNA evidence left at the crime scene isn’t “concrete” proof that they actually killed the victim, its only proof that they’re were at the scene By your logic there’s no such thing as concrete evidence of anything unless it’s recorded in real time...at least when Republicans or Russians are concerned To summarize: 1) Its an accepted fact that Russia hacked the DNC. Literally every agency and authority qualified to hold an opinion has testified to this fact. You, the non-educated non-expert in any subject woth zero first hand or second hand info think you know better and can parse legal concepts and terms that the rest of the world can’t. But you’re wrong 2) Nobody said Russia did it at Trumps behest. Russia did it at its own behest then tried to trade the emails to Trump soon after. The Trump team also had advance knowledge that the stolen emails would be provided to Wikileaks/DCLeaks
  15. Wanna bet? You looking to end up $200 in the hole? ?
  16. Don’t Impeach Trump: Treat Him Like a Civil War Traitor Cristian Farias@cristianafariasJan. 12, 2021 ...The unlikely wild card of forcing Vice-President Mike Pence to trigger the 25th Amendment, which might neutralize a president “unable” to discharge his duties, seems all but destined to fail. But there’s another constitutional option, sitting right at the heart of the Reconstruction amendments, that offers Congress a potent, and less fraught, political weapon to punish the president for unleashing the violent mob that disrupted a solemn step in the peaceful transfer of power. The 14th Amendment, which ensured citizenship and equality for Black people in the aftermath of the Civil War, also empowers Congress to banish from public life anyone who has taken an oath to defend the Constitution yet has been found to “have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same.” By joint resolution in both houses of Congress, lawmakers could invoke Section 3 of the amendment and expeditiously prohibit Trump from holding office ever again, effectively preventing him from running for president in 2024, as he has considered doing. By its plain terms, Section 3 would bar Trump from holding “any office … under the United States.” Such a resolution likely wouldn’t remove Trump from office now. Yet realistically, neither would impeachment, as a Senate trial may be put off until after theinauguration — or maybe even after Biden’s first 100 days in office, as House Majority Whip James Clyburn indicatedmight happen. Biden, for his part, doesn’t want his own agenda derailed, however the newly Democratic-controlled Senate decides to proceed. A declaration of Trump’s ineligibility by both houses of Congress under Section 3, however, can move fast — and would send a powerful signal to the American public, and the rest of the world, that the violence and death that descended on the Capitol were an affront to the nation.... https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2021/01/dont-impeach-trump-for-insurrection-use-the-14th-amendment.html
  17. Once again you’re speculating and stating as fact. Do you jave proof any Russians were paid? I note the Steele dossier only mentions “senior western hotel staff”. But once again YOU know there were Russians and they were paid money that came from Hillary. Hillarious! Ooh a hearsay case. I'm sure that the FISA court is all over those. Just kidding. That was sarcasm because I didn't want to just point out the blatant stupidity of your comment too harshly. Bragging about crimes your group is involved with isn’t hearsay. P told the Australian about the hacked email in early May, the Russians dumped the emails via wikileaks and DCLeaks in late July which is when the Aussies notified the FBI. And Crossfire Hurricane was opened. P. knew about the emails almost 2 months in advance of the public finding out. Note that DNC and US intelligence authorities had only learned about the emails being stolen in April. Clearly P. had imsider info No clearly they undestood it would be extremely damaging to Hillary’s campaign just days before the election. Everybody understands that. And you obviously don’t know the facts of what happened you’re in such an information vacuum. They announced the new investigation RIGHT BEFORE the election which destroyed her chances and cleared her AFTER the election was over. You are incorrect that it was “a fake investigation” they just didn’t find anything except copies of emails they already had. They announced the investigation PROACTIVELY not in reaction to stories in the press. Once again you’re inventing things. Yeah we know you Trump supporters don’t rely on evidence for your beliefs and you can’t grasp why others do. But that is how the world works. LMAO!!! it means you don’t understand what you’re copy-pasting as usual. Nowhere does he say he’s uncertain that they wee Russians His testimony On page 24: HENRY: We said that we had a high degree of confidence it was the Russian Government. And our analysts that looked at it and that had looked at these types of attacks before, many different types of attacks similar to this in different environments, certain tools that were used, certain methods by which they were moving in the environment,and looking at the types of data that was being targeted, that it was consistent with a nation-state adversary and associated with Russian intelligence. And then they go on to say the following pay close attention to the second part you’re so despeto apologize for Russia it’s pathetic “oh they didn’t witness the crime as it was occurring they only investigated after the crime happened that means inconclusive evidence !” Guess Ill start murdeing my enemies now cuz apparently unless there’s a cop to witness it as it occurs they can’t arrest me on evidence later. New rules are probably only for Republicans and Russians only I’m sure. LMAO Does CrowdStrike have evidence that data was exfiltrated from the DNC network? Yes. Shawn Henry stated in his testimony to the House Intelligence Committee that CrowdStrike had indicators of exfiltration (page 32) and that data had clearly left the network. Also, on page 2, theIntelligence Community Assessment also confirmed that the Russian intelligence agency GRU “had exfiltrated large volumes of data from the DNC.” Did CrowdStrike see in real-time the adversaries exfiltrate data and emails from the DNC network? No and that’s typical for incident response cases. In the vast majority of cyber investigations, incident responders don’t witness exfiltration in real-time. In fact, often we are called in after theft has taken place. We collect forensics, evidence of prior activity on the network, map where the adversary has gained access and prepare remediation plans. Entrapment lol there’s what you need your tin foil hat for. Putin clearly wanted Trump to win why would he try to entrap him? Why would Trump and his team first deny the meeting and then tell so many different conflicting and changing stories about the meeting? “A meeting to discuss Russian adoptions” LMAO that was my favourite version. Was that version 2 or 4? They’re all such a blur. And the Russian lawyer Veselnitskaya who organized that meeting is now an indicted criminal who fled back to Russia. By the way she had a client that was being prosecuted in the US for laundering money stolen from Magnitsky funneled through New York real estate deals. Trump fired the US attorney prosecuting the case and the deal was then settled for less than 3% of the amount originally sought. Convenient! It may make “make sense” to you that that’s what happened but speculation is not fact - you have problems understanding that - and there are plenty of other explanations including that tje people who passed the info weren’t even Russians. The part where Russians were paid is made up by you. FULL STOP. Crossfire Hurricane investigation was started in July because of George P. There were 4 different FISA warrants issued for page later in the year and the first 2 were perfectly valid. The second set to extend the surveillance another 6 months were the ones that were later found to be unjustified. Of note that same Justice Depr investigation criticizing the FISA warrants that you love to cite so much also confirmed that the FBI was justified in opening the investigation in the first place. But of course you cherry-pick what you want to hear and discard the inconvenient facts like a true Trump supporter
  18. You said HE killed someone. That’s not “credible info”. You seem to have this problem where you can’t separate your unsupported speculations with actual facts. That’s an old debunked right wing language policing “gotcha” ploy. She clearly said the protests should continue. She did not say violent protests or riots should continue She’s condemned the violence on numerous occasions, like when she said : “We must always defend peaceful protest and peaceful protesters. We should not confuse them with those looting and committing acts of violence, including the shooter, who was arrested for murder. And make no mistake we will not let these vigilantes and extremists derail the path to justice. " and in a joint statement with Biden: “No amount of anger at the very real injustices in our society excuses violence. Attacking police officers and vandalizing small businesses, which are already struggling during a pandemic, does not bend the moral arc of the universe closer to justice. It hurts our fellow citizens. Looting is not a protest, it is a crime."
  19. Excuse me, but when the Dems organize a march of Mueller probe supporters where they worked the crown into such a frenzy that it launched a deadly attack on the capital?
  20. Not like the Trump kids and Kushner eh? I’m sure they got those white house jobs on their own merit ??
  21. Got a link for that? You’re mixing up facts and timing. The Burisma investigation was already inactive when Hunter Biden joined Burisma and he wasn’t with Burisma when the alleged corruption occurred. Also the pro-Russian prosecutor was not removed for investigating Burisma, USA and the European Union had long lobbied to be removed from office due to his pro-Russia ties and his personal corruption. If you haven’t noticed the West and Russia have been fighting for influence over Ukraine for over 20 years now with each side ousting the regime supported by the other and installing their people in positions of influence As yet unverified. Are Republicans still refusing to allow anyone to inspect the device and verify the emails? OMG you’re clueless and you don’t read. The Biden administration is not in office yet you genius. Didn’t you know that? It clearly says the measures were announced by Steve Mnuchin, a secretary of the Trump administration. The DNC owns the Daily Caller now? Like I said you don’t read. ???? How does a political party “own the mainstream media” anyway? Especially all these Privately owned, publicly traded companies around the world? The right has never explained how that works. Political parties lie. If there’s a discrepancy between what one political party is saying and what every other source of information is saying It’s much more believable that the political party is lying than a claim that there’s a VASY WORLDWIDE CONSPIRACY of pretty much everybody and only Republicans tell the truth.
  22. ...But despite no evidence and no charges YOU somehow know the real truth??? Oh and you lie when say the Dems supported violence and riots which is lie. For someone who claims so often to have never lied on here you sure do lie a lot
  23. Meanwhile back in reality U.S. sanctions Ukrainians involved in Russia-linked campaign promoted by Giuliani to smear Biden David L. Stern Jan. 11, 2021 at 6:44 p.m. EST The U.S. Treasury Department on Monday sanctioned a group of Russia-linked Ukrainians for trying to influence the 2020 election by attempting to smear President Trump’s Democratic rival, Joe Biden. Several of the people were involved with a campaign by Trump’s personal attorney Rudolph W. Giuliani to damage Biden, U.S. officials have said, by peddling unfounded allegations of corruption linked to Russia’s disinformation efforts. The campaign served not only to discredit Biden but also to advance Russia’s interests by driving a wedge between the United States and Ukraine. The Treasury Department stated that all seven individuals and four organizations sanctioned have ties to Andriy Derkach, a member of Ukraine’s parliament whom the U.S. government has declared an “active Russian agent.” Derkach was sanctioned by the department in September. He has denied he is a Russian agent. U.S. sanctions Ukrainian lawmaker tied to Giuliani as “active Russian agent” “Russian disinformation campaigns targeting American citizens are a threat to our democracy,” Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said in a statement. “The United States will continue to aggressively defend the integrity of our election systems and processes.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/ukranians-sanctions-giuliani-election-interference/2021/01/11/0c447aea-5436-11eb-a08b-f1381ef3d207_story.html U.S. Imposes Sanctions Over Efforts to Discredit Bidens Treasury Department says agents of Russia worked to interfere in U.S. election by seeking to undermine president-elect https://www.wsj.com/articles/u-s-imposes-sanctions-over-efforts-to-discredit-bidens-11610412176 Heck even the Daily Caller reported it https://dailycaller.com/2021/01/11/sanctions-ukraine-giuliani-telizhenko/
