  1. But what is he saying? A litany of lies, bigotry, exaggerations, boasts... And nobody call him on any of them. Speaking with conviction means nothing if you're wrong. He's a narcissist who loves to have people hanging on his every word. This emperor has no clothes!
  2. You should do some research on that. The only thing that definitely seems to fall off with aging is creativity. Most (but not all) of the great works of thought and art were accomplished by age 35. Other aspects of intelligence and aging are very individual.
  3. noun noun: chivalry "the medieval knightly system with its religious, moral, and social code." So the original meaning implies a Feudal system: Royalty, their Knights and armies, Church, and Serfs. So you and I and almost everyone we know are Serfs? noun noun: chivalry "the combination of qualities expected of an ideal knight, especially courage, honor, courtesy, justice, and a readiness to help the weak." So liberals can't or don't adhere to those qualities? "a readiness to help the weak." Not American conservatives.
  4. What we need is a Death Star or 2. Destroy our enemies from space. Ok. Let's split the difference at 80 million. And I'll throw in a free cheese grater!
  5. You're saying Trump has good intention? Well, take away the racism, misogyny, greed, hate, narcissim, mendacity, delusions, ignorance, Sociopathy,...
  6. The West is already deeply invested in trade with China. That started long before Trump and grows as China grows. Even US-China trade increased last year. All this tariff and political sh!t will only improve when Trump is gone or rendered impotent.
  7. Except NOBODY can negotiate with a m0ronic toddler. Post-Trump some normalcy will return. Of course the US will always be our biggest trade partner. That's no reason for us not to diversify.
  8. Why even ask that question? As if anything we could do would save us.
  9. Coupled with our huge geography. We need to get to 100 million, but we all know the problems in getting there. Very little culture clash in Canada. It's mostly an imaginary problem conjured up by the right to inflame their base. No. Immigrants have more kids. It's an inverse correlation. Richer countries have lower birth rates.
  10. Only Trump is eroding anything. American citizens and American companies want things back as they were between us. Not to mention the hypocrisy: How dare Doug Ford take out a truthful ad and "interfere in American politics" And: We've always traded with China and the US. And we've got just as many 'friends' around the world as we always hd. And: https://ustr.gov/countries-regions/china-mongolia-taiwan/peoples-republic-china "U.S. goods exports to China in 2024 were $143.2 billion, down 3.0 percent ($4.4 billion) from 2023. U.S. goods imports from China in 2024 totaled $438.7 billion, up 2.7 percent ($11.5 billion) from 2023." And: Trump will TACO again. Cry me a Phucking river!
  11. There's a third option, thankfully. I'm not you! And when I think on that, I realize: Life is Good!
  12. No doubt. The doughboys stayed out of ww2 while Europe was being destroyed. And: "The United States provided massive financial and material support to Britain during WWII, primarily through the Lend-Lease program (1941–1945), which supplied $31.4 billion (roughly $500+ billion today) in aid, mostly free of charge. A separate $3.75 billion postwar loan in 1946 finalized the debt, which Britain finished repaying in 2006." And the US was in a postion to set the terms for the New World Order which has been enriching them to this day. But the point was who 'won' the war, not what happened after. Russia had a HUGE part in defeating Germany.
  13. You should cite the statistics that prove that. Or let's just be ignorant and bring back polio, smallpox and all those other things that kill and maim people. “Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.” ― Martin Luther King Jr.
  14. Yeah, he would have bent over, spread and made a BAD deal.
  15. Try to follow the thread. I can't type any slower for you.
  16. No. The original poster did. You can find 15% on just about any question, right or left.
  17. https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/juno-news-bias-and-credibility/ Overall, we rate Juno News as Right Biased due to its consistently critical coverage of the Liberal Party, frequent emphasis on immigration and national security issues, and editorial framing that aligns with conservative viewpoints. Surprise, surprise...
  18. "An internal Immigration and Customs Enforcement document in May shows that ICE told officers and agents they can forcibly enter homes of people subject to deportation without warrants signed by judges."
  19. From personal experience and what I have observed they are. Problems and mistakes in ERs are a different topic.
  20. That's been the reality all along. Meanwhile: T.A.C.O. Yeah, you guys did that all by yourselves. Read some Phuckin' history!
  21. Since when is 15% a large majority? That was the lie we're talking about.
