NAME REMOVED

Why is this topic in the Federal US politics section?

Some details of the attack: The perpetrator was a 50 year old man, of Saudi Arabian descent. He was not Muslim. In fact, he was Islamophobic. He was involved in human trafficking. He brought over underage Saudi girls for sex. Saudi Arabia revoked his citizenship in 2006. Saudi Arabia wanted to extradite him from Germany to face charges in their country. Germany refused extradition. According to sources, he had texted others about committing a terrorist attack, but German Police did not take the threats seriously.

You are nuts. LOL

She has no scruples. If Trump asked her to blow him, her response would be "spit or swallow?"

I do not believe that scrapping the two-party system is necessarily a bad thing. In the 90s, we had Ross Perot, and his Reform Party. At one point in the 1992 campaign, Perot was in the lead going into August. He still managed to get almost 20 million votes. I can see a lot of positive things happening from the disintegration of the two party system. Currently, the system is failing, as it's divided the American public to such an extent, that I would not be surprised if a Civil War broke out at some point in the not too distant future.

LOL...no they will not.

#BREAKING President Biden and Vice President Harris have unexpectedly returned to the White House, canceling their holiday plans. This has led to speculation about a potential government shutdown, national security issues, or other political maneuvers, but no specific event or crisis has been confirmed.

Biden and Harris have cancelled all of their vacation and Christmas plans, and have immediately returned to the White House. Something big is going down. Stay tuned, folks...

It's pretty obvious that most insiders in the Democratic party know that Biden was in cognitive decline since 2022. I am not sure why his inner circle did not convince him not to run in 2024. Some of the blame falls directly on Jill Biden, who was hell bent on Biden to continue running. The Democratic party is highly dysfunctional, although it could have been Biden's own stubbornness, to do what was best for the nation. All I know, is that Kamala Harris would not have been selected as the Democratic nominee.

Here is a better source: https://www.newsweek.com/how-unpopular-joe-biden-his-final-days-office-2002131 Trump was regarded as the most unpopular President in history in 2021, for Presidents that completed their term (Nixon had historically low ratings when he was forced to resign due to Watergate in 1974). The irony, is that Nixon had enjoyed record approval ratings for most of his Presidential term. That only changed when the American public became aware of Watergate in the final 6 months. Biden may surpass him, depending what his final ratings are. We shall see...

LOL @ Hungarian Conservative. He could have at least tried to cite a reference from a impartial source. Did Viktor Orban write that article?

This is why it is so upsetting to have a simp as a Premier of Alberta. It's absolutely pathetic how Danielle Smith is handing the situation, going as far as to @ Donald Trump. The book has been out on Trump for years. You don't get respect from kissing his butt. he is just going to walk all over us.

I know that one of the Ten Commandments is "thou shalt not kill." Blackbird is one of those Christians, who is selective, when it comes to following God's laws. If he does not like one of the laws of God, he won't follow it.

The Russian Government is in danger of collapse. Ukraine has done so much damage to Russia, that the Russian banking system is collapsing, the places where Russia has historically been involved in (Georgia, Syria, Roumania, etc), are rebelling. In one month, Donald Trump, a Russian asset, will be sworn in to the White House. That means Ukraine is one month to inflict as much damage as possible, in hopes that it will topple the Putin regime internally.

The belligerent man was yelling, and acting aggressively, but had failed to harm anyone on the subway. Daniel Perry had every right to detain the belligerent man by force, but he had no right to kill him. No lives were saved. However, one was taken. A mentally ill, poor Black man.

Employee stabs Michigan company president in possible 'copycat' of Brian Thompson attack The president of a Michigan-based manufacturing company was stabbed by one of his employees during a staff meeting earlier this week, in what authorities described as a possible “copycat” of the attack on UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Nathan Joseph Mahoney, 31, is accused of stabbing the president of Anderson Express Inc. in their Muskegon office just before 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday, the Fruitport Township Police Department said in a news release. The victim, Erik Denslow, was rushed to a nearby hospital where he underwent surgery. His condition was listed as “serious but stable” on Wednesday. More:Luigi Mangione faces federal charge that's eligible for death penalty Fellow employees described Mahoney as “having a quiet demeanor,” authorities said, adding that investigators have not established a motive. The incident comes just weeks after the slaying of Thompson, who was fatally shot outside a Hilton Hotel in Manhattan, where he was expected to attend an investor’s meeting. On Wednesday, Fruitport Township police said investigators were looking into the possibility that this week’s stabbing could have been inspired by the New York City shooting. “We haven’t ruled out copycat motive in regards to this,” Deputy Chief Greg Poulson told local television station WOOD. “I think that comes to everyone’s mind in this time. We’re going through all his social accounts, all his electronic media and trying to determine a motive for this act.” Investigators say Mahoney was a recent hire who was being trained to replace a retiring employee. He was among several employees present at Tuesday’s meeting. According to police, Mahoney got up in the middle of the meeting and left the room. When he came back about 10 minutes later, he walked over to Denslow and stabbed him “in the side with a knife.” After the alleged incident, “the suspect ran from the business, entered his vehicle and fled the scene.” He was arrested approximately 15 minutes later, police said. Mahoney is charged with attempted murder and fleeing and eluding, MLive reported. He’s expected back in court on Dec. 26 for a probable cause conference. source: https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/michigan/2024/12/19/employee-stabs-michigan-company-president-in-possible-copycat-of-unitedhealthcare-ceo-attack/77095031007/ ----- Some random disgruntled employee who was mentally unstable. or could it be the beginning of an uprising against the oligarchs in America?

Canadian law was largely based on British law. For most of Canadian history (until recent times), we based our laws on the British system. The UK abolished capital punishment decades ago. Canada followed in 1976. One of the turning points for the abolition of capital punishment in Great Britain, was the infamous case of Timothy Evans in the late 1940s. Evans was convicted of killing his wife and daughter, and hanged for it on March 9, 1950. It was later revealed that Evans, who was of low IQ, and illiterate, signed a confession under duress. The man responsible, John Reginald Christie, testified for the prosecution in Evans trial. He was the caretaker of the apartment the Evans family resided in. Evans later was found to not only be guilty of killing Evans wife, and infant daughter, but he was charged with several other murders, mainly prostitutes, and his wife (when she threatened to go to authorities). Christie was later executed for this crime in 1953. In the aftermath of this case, the tribunal that led the inquest of the wrongful conviction of Timothy Evans, recommended that the UK abolish capital punishment, which they eventually did. Timothy Evans executed (from the award winning movie "10 Rillington Place" Ending scene to 10 Rillington Place.

Dozens of innocent people in the United States have been executed for crimes they did not commit. Everyone in a free and just society is entitled to due process if the law. I would rather 100 criminals go free, then for one innocent man to be condoned to death, for a crime he did not commit.

I've been saying this for nearly 30 years. We have to build up our armed forces. Even back in the mid 90s, I was always of the opinion that in time, our greatest threat was not going to be Russia or any overseas country, It would be by our southern neighbours. And I was right. Screw the border lies by Trump, we should meet the 2% commitment of our GDP to defence spending. There was a time when Canada had one of the best military in the World, especially in the first half of the 20th century. Pound for pound, Canadians are better fighters than Americans. Why can;t we have a decent military?

I have no idea what @Political Smash is saying, since he goes on forever, about crazy conspiracy nonsense, which I do not bother reading. However, the title is wrong. the United States owes Canada money, from trade deficits, and Trump is a habitual liar. I am just amazed that the internet has been around for 30 years, and some people can;t bother doing a 30 second Google to see that Trump is lying.

Why is the death penalty so expensive? Legal costs: Almost all peo­ple who face the death penal­ty can­not afford their own attor­ney. The state must assign pub­lic defend­ers or court-appoint­ed lawyers to rep­re­sent them (the accept­ed prac­tice is to assign two lawyers), and pay for the costs of the pros­e­cu­tion as well. Pre-tri­al costs: Capital cas­es are far more com­pli­cat­ed than non-cap­i­tal cas­es and take longer to go to tri­al. Experts will prob­a­bly be need­ed on foren­sic evi­dence, men­tal health, and the back­ground and life his­to­ry of the defen­dant. County tax­pay­ers pick up the costs of added secu­ri­ty and longer pre-trial detention. Jury selec­tion: Because of the need to ques­tion jurors thor­ough­ly on their views about the death penal­ty, jury selec­tion in cap­i­tal cas­es is much more time con­sum­ing and expensive. Trial: Death-penal­ty tri­als can last more than four times longer than non-cap­i­tal tri­als, requir­ing juror and attor­ney com­pen­sa­tion, in addi­tion to court per­son­nel and oth­er related costs. Incarceration: Most death rows involve soli­tary con­fine­ment in a spe­cial facil­i­ty. These require more secu­ri­ty and oth­er accom­mo­da­tions as the pris­on­ers are kept for 23 hours a day in their cells. Appeals: To min­i­mize mis­takes, every pris­on­er is enti­tled to a series of appeals. The costs are borne at tax­pay­ers’ expense. These appeals are essen­tial because some inmates have come with­in hours of exe­cu­tion before evi­dence was uncov­ered prov­ing their innocence. https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/policy-issues/costs "You sit there and you thump your Bible, and you say your prayers, and it didn't get you anywhere! Talk about your Psalms, talk about John 3:16... Austin 3:16 says I just whipped your ass!"

What you are trying to say is, bring back the death penalty. Capital punishment has been proven not to be a deterrent to crime, and also it is more expensive to put someone to death, than it is to send them to prison for life. I am against capital punishment, for pragmatic purposes. If it was cheaper, and was a proven deterrent to crime, I would be in favour of it.

Who cares? Regardless if she is first or second generation, I am sick and tired of these people bring their wars halfway across the World into Canada, and harassing and (in some cases) assaulting) innocent people. Notice it's just one side doing this? The Jewish community isn't going into Arab neighbourhoods and businesses, and harassing them.
