I actually did think about it. Omg, you make me laugh so much. Tell me, are you in a basement? Just remember you exist because of people like me.

You're calling the American judicial system a fraud? Them's pretty big words. I disagree with you. I think the judicial system worked. I think those 12 jurors did their duty and did it responsibly. False. many do. Including me. Keep talking and soon you will believe yourself. Look, Trump got a fair, impartial trial. It does not even matter if the initial charges were politically motivated. The system held. Twelve jurors, who were accepted by both defense and prosecution, came to a decision based on the evidence. And if you don't think Trump is going to try to destroy his opponents, you don't know Trump. This is irony in real life. Anyone that believes that Trump is a victim has swallowed the bait hook, line and sinker. It's disturbing to me that you think this can be reduced to a contest. It's disturbing to hear so many people thinking they are doing "what is good" while filled with hate. There was a philosopher named Georg Hegel (1770-1831) who said that evil isn’t the opposite of good – it is the good which believes itself to be completely good. “Goodness so good is evil, if you will.” That sums up for me the attitudes of much of the Right. I am reminded of another quote, from Voltaire: “Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities.” And that is what Trump is doing.

Lol, the best defense is an offense ... but try making it believable next time. You're not fooling anyone. “Cisgender” originated in the 1990s – coined by a biologist. As a scientific term, it merely means that the sexual identity of your body coincides with the sexual identity of your brain. It appears that some cisgenders take offence to it, as if it is taking something away from them, some special categorization or privilege. But of course, it doesn’t. It’s just another biological term used to describe a person. I think at the root of all this anti-transgenderism is this feeling of being threatened by what you do not understand.

That's interesting. Thanks for sharing that. The "rugged individual who overcomes" is certainly an American trope. I wonder if the UK attitude can be traced back to the rigid hierarchy, like we see in Downtown Abbey? I'm not sure that Canada settles, though. Every been to a hockey game? And we celebrate success, too. Not just obviously with things like awards, but we strive for achievement. We really are quite an innovative country. IMAX theatre, the pacemaker, electron microscopes, and the jolly jumper were all invented in Canada. But what I especially like about Canada is our sense of humour. It's understated, and self-deprecating. Our political systems are definitely different. I like our way better. I think politicians set an example for a lot of people, and civility is an important element in any society. Better than wanting to tear one another apart. I mentioned before, I think at the personal level, we are a lot like Americans, in that we want the same things for our kids. But I don't want to see American style politics here. It's way dirtier than ours.

This comment reflects on you, not Obama

No, Obstruction of an official proceeding, Conspiracy to defraud the United States, Conspiracy to make a false statement, and Inciting or aiding an insurrection are not “fake laws” Not to any president, that's for sure. Trump stands alone in his corruption. It was not facts they were swayed by. Quit talking to yourself.

Lol, you want to hear more from me? I’m flattered. No, I just reject your characterization of me. It’s wrong. It speaks to your failings, not mine. According to the article, half consider him unfit to serve as president. Yes, and a third believe he was treated more leniently. That figure includes 93% of Republicans, 60% of independents and 17% of Democrats polled, and we know Republicans are under the spell of Trump. I’m still trying to figure out what Hunter Biden has to do with American politics. Trump broke the law. End of story. I am not a democrat. I am a Canadian interested in the truth. God help them.

It's a mistake to think that this is given for any amount of goodness. That honour is bestowed on the person who has wielded the greatest influence "for good or for ill."

We've already been over this. Lower or bottom surgery is not allowed until they are 18. And actually, the most common upper surgery is for cisgender males seeking breast reduction surgery.

What's that got to do with me? fkdiworltjgncdushrgkkbog (That's about as sensical as what you said.) Everyone in the Trump bubble. More revisionist history Yes, you think the state of the world can be reduced to a contest and all that matters is that you win.

No-one is mutilating kids! International guidelines are being followed. All you anti-trans people need to get off your high horse and admit that you are lying to yourself about what is really troubling you. You are disgusted by what you don't understand. But disgust cannot ever be the criterion used to make policy. it's much too subjective.

Communication is a two-way street. I take no responsibility for the receiver. This speaks to your lack of understanding, or maybe is it acknowledgement? And understand the source of all these charges. It is Trump, himself. The false orange god. No, I wouldn't say it is a plurality. Just enough to get the f**cker voted in. And those are the very things Trump appealed to. Hey, we're human. You think we have evolved beyond Og and his cousin Gook? Think again. Showing your base instincts, there.

If you have not noticed that Trumpism has taken over the party formerly known as the Republicans, you have not been paying attention.

Well .... She's the one who said Jewish space lasers (not increasing CO2 levels in the atmosphere) were changing the weather?

No.

I think the majority of Trump's most diehard supporters know he is a liar, a cheat, and corrupt, but they don't care. He has created an enemy for them, and vows to fight this enemy for them. They know he is a dirty fighter, but all is fair in fighting "the enemy within." He has them convinced that he is "the chosen one." How else to explain the meme below?

No, Trump’s supporters fell victim to a propaganda campaign perpetrated by Trump’s sycophants, who fell in line. It was never about justice, but politics, all politics, and blatant self-interest. Sen. Marco Rubio: In an X post, Sen. Ted Cruz compared the US legal system to what you would expect to see in banana republics And how about the pledge of non-cooperation with the Democrats signed by Republican senators, which begins with: “The White House has made a mockery of the rule of law and fundamentally altered our politics in un-American ways….” The Republican party vowed to – as Mike Johnson says – “fight back with everything in our arsenal.” They want to interrogate court officials (talk about autocratic measures). Jim Jordan issued requests for Alvin Bragg to appear before the House Judiciary select subcommittee on the weaponization of the federal government. (Will Jordon convene this committee once Trump goes after his enemies?) Lara Trump said, “This is the kind of thing you would expect to see in the communist USSR." Really? I mean, come on, really? Why do Trump supporters lap up this hyperbole? Well, we know why candidates for office won't stand up to Trump. This is what happens to them: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/06/02/trump-republicans-jury/

Ronald Reagan is turning over in his grave

Like what?

That's not how he wants to change the military. Nothing I have read about Hegseth supports this. How did you arrive at this conclusion? Everything I have read about him points to the fact that he is a militant Christian extremist. He literally wrote a book called “American Crusade” – which calls for the pushback of Muslims in Europe and the US. Hegseth has spoken about: https://www.npr.org/2024/11/14/nx-s1-5191941/pete-hegseth-defense-department-dei Maybe Hegseth is just too extreme for second-in-command of the US military

No, he knew that his claims were false. You can find the evidence for this in Section B: The Defendant Knew his Claims of Outcome-Determinative Fraud Were False (page 10-16) of Jack Smith’s court filing Right, and he was allowed to. The 2020 election was exhaustively investigated and litigated. Over 60 lawsuits filed, and none found widespread fraud. But that is not all he did. In fact, in the months before the election, he laid the groundwork for his plan should he lose the election. See Section A: Formation of the Conspiracies (page 5-10) of the court filing. He actually did that with this latest election too. Have a look at the unhinged post he made Sept. 7, 2024: https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/113098755955857290 And then there is the fake electors scheme. You can read about it in the following sections of the court filing (pages 15-72): C. The Defendant Aimed Deceit at the Targeted States to Alter Their Ascertainment and Appointment of Electors D. The Defendant Organized and Caused His Electors to Submit Fraudulent Certificates Creating the False Appearance the States Submitted Competing Electoral Slates E. The Defendant Attempted to Persuade Pence to Reject Votes Cast by Duly-Appointed Electors and Choose the Defendant’s Fraudulent Ones. Trump got due process. His defense was present at jury selection and signed off on every juror. They had every opportunity to challenge jurors, introduce evidence, question prosecution witnesses and call their own.

Then why do Republicans wear t-shirts that say 'I'd rather be a Russian than a Democrat" The difference is of course that there is no censorship in the US the way there is in Russia. In Russia, the main censor is Roskomnadzor - who were especially active in the run-up to the Russian "election" Russia’s main censor — Roskomnadzor — secretly monitors publications critical of Russian authorities on the internet. They generate reports that they then send to the security forces. What does it mean for Russian citizens? https://istories.media/en/stories/2023/02/08/how-roskomnadzor-protects-putins-power/ Western social media such as Facebook and tens of thousands of websites have been censored by the Russian government under the pretext of “protecting its digital space against external influences” since the invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. But to the dismay of the authorities, this prompted a big increase in the use of VPNs. In its desire to increase control, the Russian media regulator, Roskomnadzor, has reportedly stepped up blocking tests using methods directly recommended by its Chinese neighbour. On 27 February, for example, Russian citizens found websites and applications that are permitted in Russia, including YouTube, WhatsApp, and VKontakte (Russia's Facebook), were blocked. Then, several officially banned platforms, such as Facebook, Instagram and X, were inexplicably accessible (without VPN) for several hours. https://rsf.org/en/kremlin-steps-online-censorship-order-silence-last-opposition-voices-ahead-presidential-election

TL;DR Can you give us the Coles notes?

That Russia is waging an internet war against the West is well established. Russia pours millions of dollars into producing false internet information to be consumed by millions of North Americans. One of Putin’s main goals is to see Western democracy fail. “Look,” he can say to the Russian people, “our way is better.” Below is linked an interesting article about a “former deputy Palm Beach County sheriff who fled to Moscow and became one of the Kremlin’s most prolific propagandists.” John Mark Dougan made his money as an operative of the GRU, Russia’s military intelligence service. He created the fake stories about the Zelenskyy’s using aid money to buy jewels and yachts and Tim Walz abusing a student when he was a teacher. All false, all originating in Russia. American creating deepfakes targeting Harris works with Russian intel, documents show Russia puts their sights on right-wing media. For some reason, they are more susceptible. Consider the right-wing influencers, like Tim Pool, who were duped into spreading Russian propaganda obtained from a media company that “was secretly funded by Russian state media employees to churn out English-language videos that were “often consistent” with the Kremlin’s “interest in amplifying U.S. domestic divisions in order to weaken U.S. opposition” to Russian interests, like its war in Ukraine.

Why would anyone think that Carlson is anything other than a charlatan seeking to enrich himself?
