You’re probably right. The Dems are foolish to stick with Biden. DeSantis will get his shot at some point. Right now he’s doing a fantastic job in Florida and the state is booming. People continue to flee the overtaxed, catch and release crime-ridden Dem cities for freer, more affordable, anti-woke Florida.
Yeah. He obviously wanted to go now but that is clearly not a good move. Trump is going to get is second kick at the can and that's the way it goes. DeSantis would be wise to keep building his brand, keep achieving good results in florida, and set himself up for the next go around. I think if trump loses a second time that'll be it, and i don't think people will give him a third time. And if he wins then he's only got one term.

Dude this mythical $8 Billion in lost sales is just more right wing nonsense for the incredulous followers.
8 billion in stock value. Sales are into the billions on TOP of that but are still being calculated. but the stock stuff is very real and easy to verify, I take it you don't know how stocks work
21 minutes ago, BeaverFever said:And no, nobody can predict the stock market. People make bets and sometimes win more than they lose but not always. Nobody is freaking out about anything your stories are made up.
You're freaking out right now - and you're so desperate that this isn't happening that you're claiming stock market prices which can easily be read are 'mythical'.
And yes - bud is freaking out. that's a hell of a loss to take.
21 minutes ago, BeaverFever said:Hey Dummy don’t you remember the “freedom fries” boycott? It was supposedly a conservative boycott of goods imported from France
Nope. That's not what 'freedom fries' was. And while the word 'boycott' was tossed around nobody really got around to organizing anything. Funny story - products that SOUNDED french actually DID drop very significantly in sales during that time but often the products weren't french. Like grey poupon mustard and L’Oréal shampoo, neither of which are actually french.
So if a real boycott had actually happened it actually would have probably had a noticeable effect, But - it didn't.
21 minutes ago, BeaverFever said:but also also involved republicans in congress and their dumbass Republican supporters renaming French fries “freedom fries” wherever they could.
Yep. but as noted - french fries don't actually come from france so your claim that somehow it was going to hurt them is silly.
21 minutes ago, BeaverFever said:It waa amusing watching dumbass republicans but $300 of French wine to smash in the street and thinking they were teaching France a lesson.
Never happened. Sorry.
QuoteI guess nobody told them a boycott is when you’re supposed to refuse to buy a product, not when you buy their most expensive products which wouldn’t have otherwise bought , pay them in full, and then destroy it instead of consuming it.
Well next time try to educate your imaginary protesters better

Well, my grandkids all seem to have done fine. No problems so far.
so - kids you DIDN'T raise did well. Has the ring of truth to it
1 hour ago, eyeball said:Interestingly enough one of the funnier and certainly the last things I expected to impinge on my youngest grandson had nothing to do with COVID. This is something I know will give you guys something to make hay with. He said to his mom one day that he didn't want to go to school in case he was taken away like 1st Nation's kids were. He'd overheard his older sister and brother talking about what they'd been learning in school.
Seriously - the responses write themselves
It's a little too easy, i'll pass this time, we both know what i'd say anyway
1 hour ago, eyeball said:Are kids impressionable? Of course they are. The more I think about it it's even easier to see how kids who saw parents muttering about nazis, dictators and especially lefties while pounding away at a keyboard on their own forums would become nasty little carbon copies of their parents.
If that's the case - the left wing children who heard all about how their fellow canadians were all misogynists and bigots and were wastes of space we shoulnd't tolerate and who deserved to be killed (prevelant left wing position) if they don't agree with vaccines and who were all trying to kill grandma would be in far worse shape.

While theres truth to that, historically people need something to vote FOR - not just something to vote against.
The last two elections show that.
So to win the cpc will still have to put something attractive on the table to win over ontario.

Well America has a problem with guns and mass murder. But we agree that some gun control would reduce the mass murders, so that's good.
No. First off america has a problem with mass murders, not guns. Second i have never said that gun control would reduce mass murders, you just keep repeating that despite my correcting you several times.
This is why you're wrong SO often - you just don't listen.

Sure kid.
2 hours ago, Americana Antifa said:That's incredibly immature.
No, but it would require an iq higher than an overripe avocado to understand it so it may have gone over your head a little.
It's quite simple. The Dems have been SO brutally unreasonable, illogical and destructive in their attacks on gun owners so far that the trust levels are so low that simply saying 'could we compromise over here' would be seen as a trap without a very strong demonstration that wasn't so.
And frankly there's no reason to think it wouldn't be. Bring in red flag laws which say ' if proven to be a nutbar no guns', and it's only a matter of time till a dem changes it to "prove you're not a nutbar before you're allowed to buy a gun at all, and we'll define what 'proof' is". Prove me wrong.
So. As i said i doubt that either side will be interested in any kind of rational or real discussion. There will be a killing, dems will demand gun bans and claim republicans just want to see people dead, republicans will resist any changes to gun laws and will dig in further - and then the cycle will repeat.

So what's wrong with teaching kids that it's okay to be trans? Do you think just by acknowledging that, kids are going to want to be trans?
IT's not ok to expose children to complex sexual issues period. We dont' teach them it's ok to be masochists either. Or furries.
You think if we don't teach them as children they'll automatically hate trans people? Did YOU learn about trans people in school when YOU were in grade 2? And do you hate them now? Hmmm.

Republicans have been using the Big Lie as an excuse to make voter-restriction laws wherever they can. If they were trying to seize control of elections from local authorities in a bubble, I would say that's really shady and unacceptable, but it's not in a bubble, it's part of this larger shift against democracy.
So there's nothing you can actually point to as any kind of voter restriction at all then. Just 'republican bad".
2 hours ago, Americana Antifa said:Part of this is taking advantage of Trumpism and the Big Lie. But it's also that Republicans don't have any popular policies anymore. They've given up on winning without cheating.

I agree her behavior is horrible. But - that's Hillary.
2 hours ago, Americana Antifa said:Yeah, Hillary complained a lot about losing, who cares? She accepted the results. She didn't demand that her fans march to DC and demand they take back the country because she couldn't handle losing.
Actually she has to this day denied that trump actually won. She says he's an 'illegitimate president' who won through voter fraud and hacking and a bunch of other things to change the outcome illegally.
She spent the time between when she lost and when she conceded desperately looking for legal options. THat's why she didn't concede that night and her people waited to see her in vain.
The fact that nobody cared enough about her to march is something that i'm sure bothers her to this day
She STILL TO THIS DAY denies she lost
Just like Trump. Sorry kiddo - you lose again

So what you're saying is illegal actions are rewarded in Canada.
Have you MET our prime minister?
2 hours ago, blackbird said:I don't think the railway blockades achieved anything for the blockaders.
You're free to live in ignorance
2 hours ago, blackbird said:"Rail lines across Canada have been paralysed for almost two weeks after being blockaded by indigenous protesters and their supporters.
The blockades were put in place in solidarity with Wet'suwet'en First Nation hereditary chiefs who oppose a natural gas pipeline in their traditional territory in the province of British Columbia (BC)."
The Wet'suwet'en conflict disrupting Canada's rail system - BBC News
The pipeline is around two-thirds completed now. The protesters failed to stop the Coastal Gaslink Pipeline project. Blockading the railways failed to stop it. A terrorist attack at the worksite destroyed tens of millions of dollars worth of machinery but did not stop the project. It is going ahead.
They were forced to do new deals with many first nations to make that happen AND the project was delayed by ages AND they did force it's route to be changed a number of times and forced it to be massively overbudget
Likewise the TMP in the south was ALSO delayed by many years, still isn't complete, is massively over budget and again first nations had to be give extremely larger compensation.
And a third pipeline that was planned for the north was cancelled entirely.
So - they got more money, delayed everythnig and drove costs up to discourage other projects, and got one cancelled. They also won court battles along the way which improved their barganing power for future projects.
And - the two out of three being built were both announced well over a decade ago. Meanwhile, how many new projects have you heard announced? None? Hmmm.
Even mines and such have been tremendously affected.
You don't need to have complete victory across the board to still have won a lot.
Sorry bud - the first nations have vastly improved their power with such activities.

The Republicans are trying to steal elections as they accuse Democrats of having stole the 2020 election. It's like this for literally everything. The Right accuses LGBT people of being groomers, when really the Right votes against bills to end child marriages.
Setting your projection aside, there's no evidence of 'election rigging' here that i can see. Is your sole evidence that republicans voted for it so it MUST be fraud?
BTW - is clinton still demanding that 2016 was 'rigged' and trump is illegitimate? Oh - yeah i see she is. Yep it's all republicans

Donald left office with the third largest deficit in history.
debt is always higher - things cost more and there's more people every year.
Debt to gdp is a better way to look at things. And there - trump did better than most. In otherwords he increased productivity and profit faster than he increased spending:
https://www.ceicdata.com/en/indicator/united-states/total-debt--of-gdp
Whereas under biden that obviously was NOT the case. Now - covid. Fair enough. But - it's still entirely out of whack.
So trump did better than obama - MUCH better than biden and if covid hadn't come along the debt to gdp might very well have been at an all time low historically.
So swing and a miss there.

https://nationalpost.com/news/politics/conservatives-wont-commit-to-legislating-end-to-strike
'Justin Trudeau has increased the public service budget by $21 billion ... and he still hasn't been able to solve this problem,' Conservative MP Stephanie Kusie said
“The strike that we are witnessing here today is a complete result of the incompetence of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his government,” Kusie, the party’s Treasury Board critic, told reporters.
“Canada is broken, and this is just simply another example.”
Public servants, Kusie said, are being squeezed by Canada’s affordability crisis, just like everyone else.
“Justin Trudeau has increased the public service budget by $21 billion, in addition to adding and spending $22 billion on outside consultants, and he still hasn’t been able to solve this problem and to come to an agreement in this negotiation.”
The ndp has already said they won't. The bloc isn't enough to get it done on their own.
Justin has painted himself into a bit of a corner here and is in danger of pissing off not only the public but the largest union.
And he's taking serious hits for the fact that yes - he's spent 50 billion more on the service and consultants, it's STILL not working right, and now they want a raise he can't afford.
I guess just trying to buy your way to popularity wasn't a good idea after all.

But you don't seem to understand how Canada works if you think natives can blockade railways and have a valid claim.
I'm afraid its you who's out of touch there. In fact it's a very successful tactic and often results in a claim moving forward.
If you want to say it SHOULDNT be - that's probably pretty defensible. If you're saying it should CHANGE - sure, right with you.
But - as of now it absolutely is the case and the courts have done much to back that up. It is the way of things at the moment.

While you and your rightwing pals are swapping spit in your echo chamber, Ron's busy cutting off Florida's nose to spite their face.

Of course, this is just my opinion, but I think he's f__king himself good here. I hope he's well lubed up.
Wow - who was complaining that "someone" keeps everything on the table including "gasp" insults?
You really could hypocrite for the olympics
Disney isn't hurting DeSantis at all. Thats' the kind of thing that lefties tell themselves to comfort themselves over the fact disney fired a bunch of the 'woke' folk after their antics cost them billions.
Whats hurting him right now is trump. He's going to have to back off and say he won't run, support trump, and bide his time. Either trump will lose, then he'll get his real chance in 2028, or trump will win and he only has one term left so he'll STILL get his real chance in 2028. But he's going down trying to out trump trump right now - looks like trump is going to get another kick at the can.

That's beside the point.
It is the ENTIRE point. While a small percent of the population will ever be the 1 percent (approximately 1 percent of them to be more specific) The fact that more of them are from low and middle class shows there's no particular advantage coming from a 'wealthy' family.
1 hour ago, Americana Antifa said:That's insane.
And yet true What a world eh?
1 hour ago, Americana Antifa said:Rich people have connections with other rich people. Like the comic showed, a person born into wealth can easily get a job working for the rich people in their circle. The connections that poor people have are not ones that can give them good jobs. And that's not even getting into the roles that family, education, and health play.d
The comic didn't "show" - the comic imagined. However - at the end of the day the results show that isn't the determining factor for success. Yeah - it helps to know people but it's also a lot easier to get to know people than you might think. And connections get you 'good jobs' less effectively than you might think.
A poor person starting out and working their way up through middle management into mangement is going to meet all kinds of people who will help them advance. But to be honest - its' their hard work and reputation that will jump out and propel them. Cream tends to rise to the top.
1 hour ago, Americana Antifa said:In an effort to manufacture consent for capitalism, conservatives will sometimes say "I never got a job from a poor person!" And yeah, rich people are the ones who give people jobs. But this means if you grow up in those upper-class circles, you're more likely to know a rich person who will give you a job.
The rich person doesn't give you a job because he knows you. HE gives jobs to people who will make him MOAR rich.
Which means that a person's track record and performance is as good or better at creating advancement.
1 hour ago, Americana Antifa said:Nobody is saying the opportunity isn't there.
Yeaahhhhhh - is that true tho? No one? That's not the point of most of these programs and such? That's not the point of saying poor people can't get ahead? I'm not so sure about that.
1 hour ago, Americana Antifa said:The left-wing argument is that your economic situation dictates how many opportunities you have.
Well they're wrong. Like i said - drop me into an economically disadvantaged situation with what i know and area and i'll be upper middle class quick enough. And i mean as a 20 year old or the like, not with my current track record and resume to fall back on.
The difference if any isnt' the poverty or fewer opportunities. It's the ability and desire to maximize those opportunities. And that's the MAIN difference between kids raised poor and ones raised rich.
1 hour ago, Americana Antifa said:There are opportunities in North Korea too.
No there isn't - who's hiring in north Korea? Don't be silly.
1 hour ago, Americana Antifa said:But there are MORE opportunities in the West. Likewise, there are opportunities if you're poor, but there are MORE if you're rich.
Less so than you'd think. In america you might argue that access to university would be harder for poor people but even there there are paths.
1 hour ago, Americana Antifa said:Both. Rich kids grow up with more opportunities than poor kids. However, a poor kid in a rich neighborhood has more opportunities than a poor kid in a ghetto. This is why the data shows that we can predict success based on a person's zip code.
The data doesn't really show that. Sorry.
And again - i would argue that the poor kid in the rich neighbourhood is going to be exposed to knowledge on how to take advantage of their opportunity more, and that's the main difference.
1 hour ago, Americana Antifa said:Educations is part of this. Like I said earlier, rich kids go to better schools and have more time to concentrate on education.
Thats not the education problem here.
1 hour ago, Americana Antifa said:There are really so many factors here that have to do with economics. The people you know, your education, your health, all of these things affect your chance at success. Just the fact that your health growing up shapes your IQ alone should make us concerned.
None of it is relevant to who will or will not succeed. The paths are there for the most part, EVERYONE rich or poor has serious obstacles to overcome. But anyone with a little knowledge and a decent work ethic can achieve middle class no problem. Even upper middle class. If the poor people need anything its a shift in culture and learning how to maximize and recognize opportunity. Don't get pregnant out of wedlock. get a job (any job) and establish your rep, don't get involved in crime, chart a path.
The statisics show that the vast vast vast majority of people rich or poor who do that will achieve at least middle class or better.

So you agree that it makes sense to have gun control, since mass shootings harm other people.
No, i just agree that it makes sense to have some specific gun control for a variety of reasons. YOu're the one trying to spin it to mass murder
and i don't even know how you got that from the line you quoted.
2 hours ago, Americana Antifa said:Whereas people should be allowed to poison themselves, because they're not directly harming other people, yes?
Not really. It depends on what you mean by 'poison'. I'm against narcotics that are addictive for example because one quickly loses the ability to make rational decisions about them. And poisioning yourself would RARELY affect only you.
2 hours ago, Americana Antifa said:Actually, food is a good comparison because while it's legal to eat as much junk food as you want, we still have health regulations. A restaurant can't poison their customers because, again, that is harming other people.
Not terribly good for business either
But - we have safety regulations. We don't generrally require a chef to have a 'chef license' - just a business license. SO the equivilant there would be regulation regarding the use and handling of firearms and depending on where you're talking about there is that already.
2 hours ago, Americana Antifa said:Well I don't blame the gun manufacturers. I blame the law-makers for not making red flag laws and closing the loopholes. I never said people who make guns allowed the shootings to happen.
It is the democratic and left wing position though. And that's the problem. It anchors the conversation in the wrong place. There really aren't any meaningful 'loopholes' but for sure "red flag" laws (or at least law or policy along the same lines) is a much better place to start.
2 hours ago, Americana Antifa said:That's just an excuse Republicans make to avoid compromising. There's no reason they can't support red flag laws outside of the NRA funding the GOP.
Sure there is. It would be more fair to say there's no reason the dems couldn't abandon their unreasonable attack on guns and focus on red flag/other laws. As long as they don't the republicans are going to have to dig in and not move an inch. Even on things like red flag laws which they tend to support in principle they'll have to be carefull as hell.
This became politiicized and the dems have REALLY racheted up the rhetoric, and now there's no unsticking that without them taking a very very different approach.
