  1. Alan Dershowitz is a Trump lackey who even thinks Trump should have a third term. Talk about bias!
  2. Conservatives lose even more support. Big surprise.
  3. WTF? Are you talking about the Cons who crossed over to get away from their loser leader?
  4. Does he have any corroboration? Would a jury believe him? Did Obama say: "I don't even wait. And when you're a star they let you do it. You can do anything." Grab them by the ****. You can do anything." Yeah it was a civil suit, but it was a jury that weighed the arguments and came to the verdict.
  5. Wow! Almost half a day and not a word from the right. The wins are not surprises. But what is telling about them is the drop in Conservative support. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/byelection-liberal-conservatives-carney-majority-government-9.7161054 "... the Conservative candidates performed relatively poorly in all of Monday's races. While the party captured about 30 per cent of the vote at the last general election in Scarborough-Southwest, the Conservative candidate is on pace to take roughly 18 per cent of ballots cast this time — a double digit drop-off. The Conservative vote share has also plunged in University-Rosedale. The party's candidate has slipped from second to third place and the party's vote share is about half of what it was last time." And you still think that Poilievre is 'The Guy'?
  6. There are ways to search a whole website for words or phrases. One way: site:wikipedia.org "space exploration". Might not bring up recent occurences.
  7. Exactly! Speculators. Backed by the goods created and economic activity of a country. That's partially right but gold does have a lot of practical applications. And you're going to do what to China with that?
  8. Initial Verdict (May 2023 - $5 Million): A Manhattan federal jury found Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation, awarding Carroll $5 million. The jury did not find him liable for rape under New York's narrow legal definition at the time, but Judge Lewis Kaplan later clarified that the act met the common definition of "rape".
  9. I spent a lot of years in Church. I also took the TM course many years ago. Both those organisations are frauds. But prayer and meditation are real. We just don't need to pay Preachers or Gurus to take advantage of them. Anyone can pray or meditate on their own. Like I said: Read 'The Relaxation Response', by Herbert Benson. (It's a short book. You can get though it.) Meditation is a simple physiological practise . AI: "Meditation is a practice of internalizing awareness to calm the mind and observe thoughts, while prayer is generally an active, externalized spiritual conversation with a higher power, often involving requests or gratitude." But I appreciate you showing up and talking about something you have no knowledge of with absolutely no information I'm saying something completely untrue. Watching you act like a fool makes me sad.
  10. Crypto is a threat to everyone and a crook's best friend. No wonder Trump and his cronies like it so much. What makes one crypto sanctioned and another one not? What is the real value of crypto? Zero. There will be some major crashes. Remember NFTs? Hah! Good luck with that one.
  11. What's your point? He is a childish !diot. His posts corroborate that.
  12. As you look in the mirro and say: "I'm good enough, I'm smart enough, and doggone it, people like me".
  13. That's meditation, not prayer. And religion has nothing to do with it. Read 'The Relaxation Response', by Herbert Benson. Phuck you're a childish !diot.
  14. Who said we 'despise' the US? We only despise Trump and !diots like you.
  15. Since when does 33=hundreds? And how many far right attacks on synagogues and temples? Hate is not a Right or Left wing ideology. You know better but lie to support your extreme partisanship. "Arson Statistics: Out of the 33 churches destroyed by fire, investigators ruled 24 as deliberately set Police have made arrests in several cases—with 12 people charged as of January 2024 Prime Minister Justin Trudeau condemned the burnings as "unacceptable,"
  16. My life's fine. Quote where I said it isn't. Seems like you're projecting some frustrations. Good luck with whatever...
  17. Obsessed much? You can't even stay on topic. My eggs were overdone. Must be those damn illegals! I got tennis elbow. Those phuckin' illegals again! Everything bad is those damn illegals' fault! The Republicans control the White House, the Senate, the House, the Supreme court, but the Dems are making everything bad! WaaWaa........
  18. I guess you're right. Those billionaires with their stocks, securities, bonds, real estate, yachts...maybe we could start a GoFundMe for them.
  19. Well, there's more similarities than differences between us.
  20. The timing is suspicious but they sound credible. I think he's toast.
  21. So the idea should be that we tax money, not people. But when we tax the very poor, that is taxing on them as people who already can't afford a good life. But if a billionaire had to pay an extra 2% they would still have $980,000,000. Think that's enough to buy groceries? Why did Warren Buffett say he should be taxed more?
  22. AI: As of early 2026, minimum wages in Democrat-led (blue) states are significantly higher than the $7.25 federal rate, generally averaging well above $15-$16 per hour Lowest Minimum Wages (Federal Rate of $7.25 - Primarily Republican-led) These states have not raised their state minimum wage above the federal standard: Alabama, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Hampshire, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Wisconsin, Wyoming.
