  1. No. Never said that. Who are you confusing me with? Haven't actually read my posts, have you?
  2. So that accounts for your lazy or misleading posts. You use blanket statements that only apply to a minority. Some Cons think women shouldn't be allowed to vote and slavery was a good thing. Obviously you believe those and all the other extreme Right Wing ideas too. You're one of 'They'!
  3. You have the memory of a goldfish. Either that or you're being wilfully ignorant.
  4. Think somebody put a billion dollars in a numbered account just before the pardon? "Hernandez in 2024 was convicted of conspiring with drug traffickers and using his government position to help hundreds of tons of cocaine enter the United States. He was sentenced to 45 years in prison. President Donald Trump pardoned Hernandez in November, saying in a post to his Truth Social account that he had been “treated very harshly and unfairly.”
  5. Who's crying about Maduro? Who the f*ck are they? Got any quotes to back any of your sh!t up?
  6. Yes they have: Real-World Application: Commentators applied the label to Trump, particularly after the 2016 election, due to his perceived closeness to Russia and actions seemingly favorable to Moscow, according to sources like The Washington Post and CNBC.
  7. Sound like you're jealous that Carney is proving to be a far better politician PeePee. I think there may eventually be a new pipeline. And signing the MOU with Danielle Smith makes her a willing partner with the Feds and blunts separation talk. Check 338. Not gonna happen. Andrew Scheer will hide behind the curtains again.
  8. Killing 50,000 civilians to get at a few terrorists is mass murder by any yardstick. Razing entire cities to get at a few enemies is a massive war crime. Denying food and medicine to tens of thousands of displaced civilians is a form of genocide.
  9. Lots of people have compared Trump and his Putin worship to 'The Manchurian Candidate" by Richard Condon. I think Condon's book 'A Trembling Upon Rome' better describes the Trump administration. It's about the son of a Pirate family who becomes Pope during the Western Schism around 1400. And on page 259 of 'Winter Kills' by the same author is a perfect description of Trump's (actually project 2025's) scheme of a blitzkrieg of changes, deception and deflection, all done so rapidly that the opposition can't fully respond to all of them, and people feel too overwhelmed and helpless to try to and affect events. These books were written wll before Trump was on the scene, but they read like this brilliant writer was contemperaneous.
  10. Why is there such a high demand for all these drugs in the US? If Americans didn't want them drug dealers couldn't sell them. But if some how (purely theoretical) you could stop drugs from being smuggled into the US, Americans would have to start making them. Yay, Trump's bringing manufacturing back home!
  11. Where's your proof? "the official "State Sponsor of Terrorism" designation has not been applied to the Venezuelan government itself."
  12. Quite possible. But even if it's an unfulfilled promise, it's a brilliant political move. And you say he's not a politician?
  13. I agree, what you're saying is crazy person talk. You sound like a mother denying her husband's sexual abuse of their daughter.
  14. Former Defense Secretary Mark Esper charges in a memoir out May 10 that former President Trump said when demonstrators were filling the streets around the White House following the death of George Floyd: "Can't you just shoot them? Just shoot them in the legs or something?"
  15. Not much difference in China and US: Median Age: China (around 40.6) vs. U.S. (around 39.3) – China's population is aging faster. Young (0-14 years): U.S. has a larger share (around 17.3%) than China (around 16%). Working Age (15-64/65): China has a massive working-age population (around 975M), but the U.S. has a substantial share of its population in this bracket too.
  16. Some differences: "President Barack Obama authorized a limited U.S. military intervention in Libya in 2011, leading a NATO-backed coalition to enforce a UN resolution protecting civilians from Muammar Gaddafi's forces during the Arab Spring uprisings, resulting in Gaddafi's overthrow and death, though the intervention later led to instability, which Obama later called a "worst mistake" due to poor post-conflict planning."
  17. Thanks to rules and institutions brought in after WW2. The institutions Trump is trying to eradicate.
  18. Give Trump his Nobel. And one for Putin, and Netenyahoo, Kim Jong Un... Institute a new calendar. It's 1984. WAR IS PEACE! Praise our Big Brothers!
  19. Taiwan. Russia and the US have done their thing. It's China's turn.
  20. You can assume my ass smells like vanilla potpourri, which is as smart as your other assumptions. You haven't been paying attention to my posts. So again you're just making sh!t up. But like you say, that's the Right for you these days! No you're not. You have nothing but high praise for him, despite him being a loser, a drag on his party, and having shown no political intuition at all. So keep him on top of the PCs. I guarantee they'll never gain power as long as he's there. Sorry, Kiddo.🤨 You lose again.😆 Call Emergency! You're having a stroke!!!
  21. Never frightened of him. Just recognise him for the political pipsqueak he is. But thanks for your concern.
  22. I am old enough to know that hero worship is a bad choice. The only politician even close to heroic right now would be Zelinsky. The real heroes are first responders who rush to help in trauma inducing situations. The real heroes are poor single mothers who work their asses off to raise our kids. Please don't tell me that Poilievre is your 'Hero'!
  23. My predictions. How about yours? - Avi Lewis wins the NDP leadership. Three weeks later all the other NDP MP's cross the floor to the Liberals. - PeePee gets 51% in leadership review, claims 'Landslide Victory', gets his staff busy writing more slogans. - Donald Trump has massive stroke. No one notices. Has his caddy play for him while he naps in the cart, before waking to claim victory. - Linsey Graham suffocates when his head gets permanently stuck in Trump's ass. - Canada, Mexico and US spend 10 months negotiating a new trade deal. Two hours before signing Trump chokes on a Big Mac, cancels the deal, and puts a 200% tariff on burger buns. - Wab Kinew forgets to smile at press conference. - Danielle Smith uses 'Notwithstanding' clause 26 times, throws down gauntlet to Francois Legault: "Let's see what you got." - Putin says he wants peace. Keeps blowin' up stuff anyway. - Netenyahoo says he wants peace. Keeps blowin' up stuff anyway. - Trump says he wants peace prize. Keeps blowin' up stuff anyway. - Canadian Premiers all say they want to end trade barriers in Canada, then claim dozens of exceptions. - Carney repeats "Canada has the best deal". Trump raises tariffs. - Democrats find a way to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. - All economic and political problems continue to be Trudeau's, Biden's or Obama's. - I continue to be poor, but somehow still eat very well.
  24. No way. "Americans eat cats" and it's "Transgender for everyone!" Trump said so!
