Yawn... And nobody cares what you say.

That is simply false! The Core Facts No mention of Jesus: Neither the Declaration of Independence (1776) nor the U.S. Constitution (1787) mentions Jesus Christ or Christianity. The Constitution only references God indirectly (as "Creator") and explicitly states in Article VI that "no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office." The Treaty of Tripoli: In 1797, the U.S. Senate unanimously ratified the Treaty of Tripoli, which was signed by President John Adams. Article 11 states unequivocally: "The Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion." [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] Beliefs of the Founders The founding generation held highly diverse religious views: [1, 2, 3] Some, like Samuel Adams and John Jay, were orthodox Christians. Others, such as Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, and John Adams, leaned heavily toward Deism or Enlightenment-era rationalism. They believed in a Creator, but largely rejected miracles and the divinity of Jesus. [1, 2, 3, 4] Separation of Church and State The founders purposefully separated religion from government to prevent the sectarian conflicts that had historically plagued Europe. They established religious freedom so that no single faith—including Christianity—would be favored by the government, ensuring all citizens could worship (or not worship) according to their own conscience

Yeah, pure communism is a great Utopian idea. But like all Utopias it doesn't work. Capitalism only works for the majority with the right guardrails. Otherwise you get oligarchies and gross inequlities. “Under capitalism, man exploits man, while under socialism just the reverse is true.” ― John Kenneth Galbraith

You have no sense of humour, no understanding of the difference between a joke and a horrible comment, no wisdom, just an ultra-partisan hatred. A young trophy wife with a morbidly obese 80-year old, ultra rich husband she obviously doesn't even like? When he's gone she'll gladly take the money and disappear from the public eye. That was a f*ckin funny joke.

Example: site:https://repolitics.com Poilievre Now you've got no excuse to weasel out ( and you're welcome for me doing your work for you.) You people are all about lies and laziness these days.

Doesn't matter what one scientist says. It's what these guys say: https://aeon.co/essays/how-do-we-deal-with-the-catastrophe-of-uninsurability "You won’t meet a single insurance or reinsurance CEO who doesn’t believe in climate change,’ the insurance investor and former Lombard Insurance CEO James Orford told me. ‘They see it in the numbers – a combination of more extreme, less predictable events, combined with big losses of sums insured. All the modelling suggests these are uninsurable risks.’ 2024 was a turning point as several insurers ceased issuing new policies because of fire-associated risks, including the United States’ biggest property insurer, State Farm, which cancelled policies in parts of Los Angeles. It is all too easy to view this cynically, but it’s happening because property insurers have been reporting year-on-year losses from climate change-related payouts. When insurers depart, so do the banks that lend money for mortgages, which means the value of properties in the redlined areas crashes and the economy there goes into a downward spiral, which is disastrous for individual homeowners and for their communities. in February 2025, the US Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell noted that banks and insurance companies were ‘pulling out of areas, coastal areas and … areas where there are a lot of fires’. Florida intervened through its Citizens Property Insurance Corporation to cover areas abandoned by private insurers, and they also launched their Reinsurance to Assist Policyholders programme to encourage insurers not to leave. In addition, the state pays up to $300,000 per property if an insurer goes bankrupt. Florida also poured money into flood mitigation (barriers, storm-surge defences, stronger building codes, better drainage systems, sea walls),"

West has been taken in by Trump's climate hoax scam. Sad

How do you think they got rich, and then powerful? Let's hear your conspiracy theory about how the Dems are responsible... from someone like you.

Pritzker, Shapiro, Buttigieg, Newsom, Kelly, Beshear... Any one of those would be better than Vance or Rubio.

No, it was US corporations and citizens who wanted cheap manufacured goods. For instance, when China was taken to a trade court for dumping tvs in the US, Walmart intervened, on China's behalf.

Or does it fall when some demagogue finds a way to harness hate and ignorance, funded by greed and hidden power to sucker the citizens down the wrong path. Liars have always been able to get people to vote against their own best interests. It's the greed at the top, not at the bottom, that kills democracy!

Does the bible support oligarchy, dictatorship, gilded age, survival of the fittest, law of the jungle...? What social policies would you do away with? Our medical system, old age security, unemployment insurance, progressive taxation...? 100% of the bible was written by men and they weren't taking dictation from some god.

Scripture came from men and if you don't know that you have a big problem.

Can you quote any instances of anyone doing that on here?

Why? People, including politicians have the right to choose, and to change their minds...

Again with the anal fixation. What's that about?

That article (from a right wing organization) just shows that Canadians know large-scale changes take time (years) and we're wise enough to give the government that time. Also no one is falling for Poilievre's empty rhetoric that he could magically fix every problem.

Like I said, underwhelmed by your lack of imagination and your anal fetish.

For a moment there I thought yiou were talking about Poilievre, the guy who blew a 26 point lead, the guy whose poll numbers have gone down more since losing the election, the Conservative federal leader provincial Conservatives want nothing to do with, the Conservative leader whose members have crossed over from... Must be another PP I don't know about!

That explains a lot. You've been on here a lot longer than me.

Hantavirus is not a worry. But thanks to people like you, next time (and there will be a next time) there is a serious deadly pandemic as bad or worse than Covid, a lot more people will die unnecessarily. You're anti-vax, anti-masking, anti lockdown, anti-common sence, anti-everything. Too bad there isn't a vaccine that cures stupidity, but of course you'd be anti-that too. You should try reading something other than the bias-confirmation garbage you cite all the time. Canda lost 60,000 to Covid. The US lost 1.2 million, twice the rate based on population, largely due to people like you.

Poor little goldfish, in a rightwing fishbowl.

Yep, you're a legend in your own mind, a Trumpian narcissist with no self awareness based in reality, a naked emperor parading like a peacock, a puffed up c0ck who thinks he makes the sun rise every morning... Ok, your turn now. Underwhelm us again.

My question is why is Trump's security so ineffective?

Welcome!
