  1. Here comes the next goal of environmentalists - which could very well be imposed by Trudeau, if he's given a second term.  

    PLANET-FRIENDLY DIET.

    Expect a hike in meat prices.

  2. The nerve.....

      The collage isn't fake, they are actual pictures,  wasn't sent by my cousin but it came from a British group, sorry, it wasn't the Russians.  I didn't post any Russian memes so don't know which one you are referring to - but carry on - whatever keeps your little mind happy.   No doubt anything you don't like comes from the Russians - I get it..    The Russian are Coming the Russians are coming...

        You're bringing up a different pair of shoes.  That's not the same as what's happening here, Argus.

      Democrats have been calling him names even before there was the hearing!  They've trampled his right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty! 

    3. Argus

      Argus

      Hardly unusual in these sorts of hearings. Did he expect things to go smoothly given the Republicans blocked what should have been their supreme court nominee for almost a year so they could make it instead? That's on top of the Republicans refusing to even begin hearings on ANY federal court nominees until the Democrats changed the rules to require a straight 50/50 vote. Clarence Thomas went through something not dissimilar and he didn't start snarling and snapping and crying.

    4. betsy

      betsy

      I don't really know what happened with Clarence Thomas.  Was he called "evil"  by others before the hearings?  Was he treated like he's guilty?

      You don't see me comparing Ford with those two women who accused Gomeshi, do you?

      Even so......Kavanaugh isn't Thomas, and Thomas isn't Kavanaugh.   I don't think they're clones.

  5. Thanks Bubber.   Just took a peek at that stinkpit - MLW even got its own thread! 

    Hahaha, yup - it's a kinda sour-grape gripe thread - of course, against posters here!   With the only sensible rebuttal views coming from Moonlight Graham!

    Hahahaha

    5 regular posters!  Lol.  Must be the most deeply hollow echo chamber in town!  With Omni and the Squid included in that number - meh, they don't really count cos they're only noise,  they really don't say anything!  Omni can't even read!   animated-laughing-smiley-emoticon.gif

      I am proud to be attacked by several ex-members over there, because it means I am still in their heads....still hearing my footsteps.    It's funnier still because several seek emotional support and hugs while attacking members here.  Maybe getting banned has traumatized some of them.

  6. Ford was DRUNK!    By her own admission!

     

     

     

    According to Blasey, now Christine Blasey Ford, all three had been drinking; but the boys were especially intoxicated

    In other words, she was drunk too - but she says, the boys were more drunk than she was.  How can she tell ?   :lol:

     

    She can't remember details that other sex assault/rape victims could never forget! 

     

     

    Dr. Ford's testimony lacks key details

      Tentatively as she is demanding that he testifies first...   which is unusual as the accused  can't speak to the issue unless he knows what the accuser has said.  

      All designed to drag it out and run down the clock.   Grassley is nuts if he lets the Dems. roll over him on this one.

      It's obvious that she doesn't want to testify.  The Dems are simply waiting until they can blame Grassley and claim victimhood.  Ford is full of shit.

      Exactly.   I'm not sure of the timel ine or what will happen if she doesn't testify Thursday, but IMO if she does not, they should just have the vote.   This is just  organized political blackmail and I'd like to know who is paying for her high priced democrat lawyers.

      BubberMiley

      But as I said, you can't expect anything to happen unless someone actually makes a complaint, whether it's Trudeau, Donald Trump or Doug Ford. You want Trudeau to be held to a higher standard than anybody else because he has higher standards than most, but the standard you are holding him to is unreasonable in every situation. Don't you get the hypocrisy of whining about how we should withhold judgement until accusations are tried in a court of law when a right-wing politician has actual accusers, and then whining about how we're not withholding judgement when a left-wing (as if) politician doesn't even have an accuser willing to give any real account of the incident?

    3. scribblet

      scribblet

      No, and as I said it's not something someone should lose their job over, however, it's Trudeau who is holding people to a higher standard than himself.  You are still missing the point about how it's not about a 'real' account of the incident, it's  Trudeau's behaviour, moralizing and throwing guys under the bus while lecturing others on how they feel etc.    It's what he has said and done since it came out.   However, carry on being obtuse and denial about Trudeau.

    4. BubberMiley

      BubberMiley

      Keep moving those goalposts. It's not about the fact that there"s no complaint, no account of the incident, and not about a higher standard for feminist men. It's because Trudeau dealt firmly with issues where there were detailed accounts and complaints, and so he should...deal with issues where there are no complaints in the same manner?

      I'm sorry if you find that obtuse, but that's how I'm reading your argument. As for denial, I'm not denying anything. He might have done worse than grab her ass. I just don't know.

      What balance are you on about?  You're here all the time!  How many posts have you given to the "other," compared to the numbers of post you give here?  Just count your posts here on status updates alone! :D  How many times have you responded to my status updates?   (not that I'm complaining.....)

       

      How many times have you posted at the "other" today?  I don't see your name in any of its recent posts!   But I see your name here, posted 3 hours ago!

       

      Aren't you a tad confused?  If this place is going downhill - then why are you folks back?  You're not merely observing (as I do when I go take a peek over there - for entertainment value - then I report back here what I'd seen over there)....

      .......you are active here!   You see me posting over there?  Did I ever apply to be a member over there?  :lol:

       

      Furthermore, if you have to come back here for "balance".....

      .....you're admitting you got an echo chamber back there, that's why you have to come here for opposing views!

      The "devout Christian" was a description from the grandmother. The school involved memorizing passages (lots of them) from the Bible. They were described as Pentecostal Christian.

      Yes inspections on a private school might have caught something. I am not sure how that would go down with the far right small government crowd however.

      Who knows.....maybe there's some recordings of these meetings and conversations that wasn't revealed during her testimony.  I can't recall if she was asked of any recordings during that testimony.

      Too bad nobody cared about the kids when Obama did it.

      That's a lot of deflection in one post. 

      Obama had a zero tolerance policy that sought to discourage immigration by putting kids more than 20 to a cage? Nope. Someone lied to you again and you believed them again.

      The rest is a pretty weak argument. I bet years from now, when this is all over and Trump is dead, you will deny ever arguing in favour of caging children.

    4. scribblet

      scribblet

      I'm not in favour of 'caging children' but keep on denying that it didn't happen under Obama.

      I am however in favour of sending a message to those who cross illegally and also send their kids unaccompanied.

       The U.S. is taking in around 250 kids per day at that rate there will tens of thousands of them to process and look after. Up to now around 12,000 of these kids are unaccompanied minors – so no parents with them.  It’s child abuse to send your kids into another country with gangs/cartels and smugglers.

       

      Family who arrive at ports of entry and request asylum will not be prosecuted because they have not attempted to enter the country illegally

  22. Ahhh.....I think I get it now.

    This is a political position for Trudeau:  standing up against Saudi Arabia (over human/women's rights).   Of course, Canadians will unify behind their Prime Minister against a tyrannical Saudi Arabia......which is good for the coming election.
