      A white supremacist was needed to make this horrible event fit the narrative. 

      The first thing any police-type does is arrest those giving medical assistance to the wounded...duh.

      But, like Tessio...the hole is already filled and the car long crushed.

  2. Will Trump show up at the G7 Summit?  Maybe not.

      Squid, pundits have opined that the venue was the wrong place to spend so much time on internal affairs. In 2016, Trudeau's message to the UN was "Canada is back and we're here to help." In 2017, he did not elaborate how we are to help internationally, including failing to deliver on a promise to contribute to a peacekeeping mission.

      The G7 has outlived its usefulness. The politics of member countries have changed since it was formed in the 70s. For example, Canada has veered to the left and Trudeau is more concerned about raising gender issues and climate apocalypse than advancing democracy, which should be the focus of these talks.

      Criticism of Trump himself has become a form of virtue signalling of its own. That is to say, it is a stylish thing to do... it gets applause. The criticism itself doesn't even matter, as long as one blanket dismisses Donald Trump as an absolute charlatan and cad. The more absolute, the better.

      But many see through this and recognize it as theatre. The Dems and the media have tried to pull off the same joke too many times. We already know the punchline: Donald Trump.

      Still the record holder for lowest approval rating over the term of his presidency, currently at 53% disapproval rate - this means the majority of people disapprove of him, in case the number confuses you.  Seems like most people agree with Hollywood and athletes.

      He's also behind Biden by 10 points.  But I guess Trumpetts are desperate for anything positive, so a slight rise in approval to not even a majority is "good news"

       

       

      Eh?   What's that got to do with what I said?

       

      Hollywood and athletes aren't as influential as they imagine themselves to be!

      You don't know? To find out if they have covid. 

    4. betsy

      betsy

      Why do they have to find out if they're not showing any symptoms?

      And, if the testing shows they don't have covid - what does that accomplish?  IT SERVES NOTHING IF THERE ARE PEOPLE IN THE SCHOOL WHO HAD NOT BEEN TESTED!

      What it does is get the students who got tested, to have FALSE SECURITY!  They could get covid as soon as they step outside in the hallway right after being tested - if they get infected by someone who opted not to get tested.  They'd get complacent and feel reassured enough to visit granma and granpa.

      If they'll spend money doing testing - it has to be for everyone!

      Speaking of talking head idiots. Trump blathers on about stopping all immigration from Muslim countries until "we can figure out what the hell is going on here", and then then goes to see the Saudi's, (you know those people who flew the planes on 9-11) and sells them billions worth of war weapons. Anyone who supports the latter is in all likelihood the former.

      Travel ban

      Cuomo asked Haley why Pakistan and Afghanistan were not countries listed on the Trump administration's travel ban -- to which she responded that the countries affected by the ban were based on whether they had "enough background checks."
       
      Cuomo noted that both countries have harbored terrorists in the past.
      "I think the travel ban was based on certain threats, and more importantly, it was based on the fact that if we didn't have enough information," she said. "The goal was always, and the goal continues to be for the President, to keep Americans safe, and any country where we don't have the background checks, we can't ensure that Americans are going to be safe. That's how those countries were picked."
       
      She continued: "In those countries, we have information that we feel like we can obviously monitor, and we can screen and we can make sure exactly who is coming into our country. In those other countries on the travel ban, we don't have that."

      Yes.   Don't get me wrong - I don't resent asylum being offered to this lady who renounced Islam, but it's the non-response to a Christian, that's grating.

      Furthermore, this lady had Australia as her choice - and Australia was on the verge of taking her.  And, unlike the case of Asia Bibi - there are other countries that expressed interest.   There was no need for Canada to step in.

      He will be in court tomorrow, so I expect you will see some news then. The police investigation is still on-going. It is rumored that the police are not yet ready to lay additional charges, but reserve that right in the future. The defense has yet to say if they will go with the court ordered psychiatric assessment or will request one of their own, they are still awaiting disclosure of evidence. I expect those will be the topics discussed, but we will have to wait and see.

      There have been some stories in the French media, but I haven't see much in the English media yet.

      Who knows, who cares, being Canadian as opposed to American and all? What we do know is that our illustrious leader (so called) raided the CPP to the tune of $4.7 billion to buy an old pipeline that we didn't have to buy if he'd done his job instead of trying to play both sides of the issue. What we do know is that he now plans to raid CPP for billions more for his green agenda. I guess someone (Butts) pointed out to him that CPP represents a huge piggy bank to play with at our expense. Makes swing sets and golf carts look like small potatoes in contrast doesn't it.
