  1. What makes you think they caught up, several were reporting it this morning.
  2. Really? What developed country has more mass shootings than the US?
  3. They work pretty well every where else. You guys just fit Einstein's definition of insanity, doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result. Or do you just accept the body count as the price of doing business?
  4. Only because you make them so available.
  5. You make it easier by letting them buy guns. But carry on.
  6. When does that ever happen, once out of every 100? We need to start a pool. How many days/weeks//months before the next school shooting.
  7. News outlets are saying it was a home made weapon and they found several more at his home.
  8. Who knows, I never thought Obama would have a chance.
  9. Yup, need the freeeduuum to create more bodies. Carry on.
  10. Too many bodies. Guns and bars in schools. People arming themselves out of fear. FREEDUUM!
  11. Most politicians are motivated by personal ambition, at least the ones looking for high office. Churchill was a workaholic who took his job seriously and knew a lot about showmanship. BOJO is too lazy to do real work and relies almost completely on showmanship.
  12. The Queen can appoint an interm PM but it would have to be someone who isn't in the running to be the new leader.
  13. BOJO is not a Churchill. Churchill showed a lot more discipline in both his personal and professional life. Outspoken at times maybe but not trivial or dismissive. Among other things, he saw action in three wars as a soldier and was a war correspondent in Cuba and South Africa where he was captured, escaped from a POW camp and spent weeks on the run with a price on his head before reaching safety. He demonstrated physical bravery that BOJO and Bone Spurs have only fantasized about. Oh, and he also won a Nobel Prize for literature.
  14. I'm not obsessed with anything of the sort. I think Canada's current gun laws are a reasonable compromise between the ability to own a firearm and public safety. People are committing mass murders because they are afraid of having their guns taken away? If they are that looney they effing well should have them taken away. What I am completely opposed to is going down the same rabbit hole as our southern neighbours.
  15. Also, the Conservatives just lost two bye elections in ridings where they had big majorities in the last election. Brits are fed up with their undisciplined carney barker who thinks rules for normal people don't apply to him.
  16. Congress can't arrest people, that's up to the DoJ.
  17. Among other things, he flat out lied during the Brexit campaign and has single handedly rejuvenated the separatist movement in Scotland, Wales and could end up being responsible for the reunification of Ireland. In short, the end of the United Kingdom. Britain had the highest number of Covid deaths in Western Europe, largely to his scatelogical approach, exemplified by party gate. People don't appreciate making sacrifices and lock downs when the PM and his circle are partying. He was fined by police for breaking his own rules. The only time that has happened to any PM. The UK economy is in the tank. UK inflation is 9.1% and the Bank of England expects it to exceed 11% by October. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_departures_from_the_second_Johnson_ministry
  18. You think he had over 50 members of his own cabinet resign over the years because of what they red in tabloids? The last straw was naming his chief whip someone accused of sexual misconduct. First he said he didn't know. Then he said he did know but nothing specific, then he said he did know. That's vintage Johnson. Like Trump, he is always the victim and never responsible for anything. People just get tired of going to bat for him, only to find out he was lying or being deliberately misleading. This is not a person anyone with ethics can work for very long because he has none of his own.
  19. So why has he had over 50 members of his own cabinet resign over the past three years?
  20. You don't dig very deep do you. You really think he had over 50 resignations because of just that?
  21. What's obsessed about not wanting to see school kids massacred? Again, it isn't about you. Die with your boots on or off, no one cares.
  22. He has had over 50 resignations from his cabinet. Eventually they get tired of lying for him. After the latest revelation, he was told that at best he could expect around 60 votes out of over 300 in another party confidence vote.
  23. Many people come to the end of their rope, very few of them become mass killers.
  24. They aren't interested in doing much to stop them.
  25. Really? https://www.foxnews.com/us/highland-park-shooting-suspect-robert-crimo-threatened-kill-everyone-home-incident-police Yet he was sill allowed to legally buy the guns he used in the shooting. If they don't want crazy people to buy guns, perhaps they should get serious about not letting them buy guns.
