      Now we're getting somewhere. So they didn't say they didn't believe it. You just made that up. They said the timing is suspicious. I would agree. I don't think the timing is a coincidence.

      Now, after misrepresenting what they survey said, why did you fail to report where the survey came from? Not exactly a reputable polling firm, and you wanted to hide that? Maybe a twitter survey or something? lol

  2. Global News.......not giving the full account.  

    Leaving out crucial information by editing the message of Diane Ford.

    https://globalnews.ca/news/4252483/renata-ford-estate-lawsuit-doug-ford-randy-ford/

     

    Compare with this:

    “It is heartbreaking that Renata has chosen to bring forward these false and baseless allegations against our family, right in the middle of the provincial election campaign,” said the statement from Diane Ford.

    “As a family, our one goal is to ensure Rob’s children are cared for and their financial futures are secure.

    Renata has serious struggles with addiction, and our hope is that she will accept help for the sake of herself and my grandchildren.”

      You can't attack her for being an irresponsible drug addict and ignore that he fought to keep an irresponsible drug addict in power when he should have resigned.

      And Doug seems to think having power trumps everything. He didn't seem too worried about Rob's children when he was happy to let his drug issues slide to keep the mayorship.

      @Angus. Wynne has already used it as a political attack which is disturbing.   While Ford was not my choice he's what we have and certainly no reason to vote for higher taxes and or more corruption. Ad to these increases carbon taxes so would be a disaster for Ontario

      Nevertheless, the CBC poll tracker currently gives Ford more than a 72% chance of winning a majority. I agree with betsy. The only poll that counts is on election day and the NDP have the momentum!

      So you don't believe there should be any rules governing a public debate? You'd prefer a free for all where everyone just shouts down everyone else? You think moderators should simply be ornamental in function? I ask because your simple and blatantly obvious attempt at deflection would tend to indicate that you don't think serious civilized debate is very important at all.

    4. betsy

      Yes, Scrib.  And when the moderator tried to stop her - it's noticeably a half-hearted attempt to do so.   

  9. Uh-oh. 

    Kim Jong Un invited a bunch of journalists to NK, and then launched hostile rethorics towards the US.  The journalists are still in NK.

    I have a sinking feeling that those journatlists may not be allowed to leave.

      I know they're there to determine that - but that's just it!  Kim could be using that as the excuse to get them there.  The UN delegation should've been the ones to have gone there.

    3. BubberMiley

      It would have been the administration's call whether they would even be allowed to go. Ridiculous that they would send them there and then leave them potentially stranded because the president is a dotard who talks before he thinks.

      Having a president start a sentence (in a teeet) with "I hereby demand..." doesn't trigger any alarm bells? Can we blame it on the media's portrayal of him as a fat, stupid, wannabe dictator?

  13. Nah.  Trudeau shouldn't apologise to the Jews for something he isn't really sorry about.   Jews should turn that hypocritical apology down. 

     

    Just like his big bro Obama, he isn't a friend of Israel.

    Mueller told Trump's legal team he will not indict the president, Giuliani tells Fox News

     

    Giuliani, himself a former federal prosecutor and mayor of New York City, also told Fox News that Mueller's investigators have not responded to five information requests from the president's team. That has forced Trump's legal team to push off making a decision about whether the president will sit for an interview with the special counsel -- a decision they had hoped to reach by Thursday.

    "We’ve had no response from them," Giuliani told Fox News' "The Ingraham Angle" about his interactions with Mueller's team. "We're asking ... what do they really need to know, what kind of assurances do we have that they'll get it over with quickly, just like they did for [Hillary] Clinton."

    The precedent that federal prosecutors cannot indict a sitting president is laid out in a 1999 Justice Department memo. Giuliani told Fox News that Mueller has no choice but to follow its guidance.

      There's no question that having a Russian mob asset for a president is unprecedented and that it could well lead to a constitutional crisis, but it doesn't mean it can't happen. There are lots of ways to bring him down, and it will be fun watching Mueller do it. Bwahahaha.

  16. Uh-oh.  Did Mueller colluded with the Russian???  Could this be true?

     

    "Mueller may have a conflict — and it leads directly to a Russian oligarch

     

    But there’s one episode even Mueller’s former law enforcement comrades — and independent ethicists — acknowledge raises legitimate legal issues and a possible conflict of interest in his overseeing the Russia election probe.

     

    In 2009, when Mueller ran the FBI, the bureau asked Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska to spend millions of his own dollars funding an FBI-supervised operation to rescue a retired FBI agent, Robert Levinson, captured in Iran while working for the CIA in 2007.

     

     

    Yes, that’s the same Deripaska who has surfaced in Mueller’s current investigation and who was recently sanctioned by the Trump administration.

     

    I was alerted to Deripaska’s past FBI relationship by U.S. officials who wondered whether the Russian’s conspicuous absence from Mueller’s indictments might be related to his FBI work.

    They aren’t the only ones.

    Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz told me he believes Mueller has a conflict of interest because his FBI previously accepted financial help from a Russian that is, at the very least, a witness in the current probe."

      I don't actually consider myself a "supporter", since he is not my president and I do not follow all the stories about Donald Trump very closely. Certainly, not as closely as you.

      However, a quick google check shows that the person who was subpoenaed today was the long-time social media consultant for one of Trump's advisors.

      What's really funny (and even ridiculous!)  is that Deripaska, Rusal, EN+ (these are the companies that he headed or founded) fell under sanctions, but the sanctions are so formal that Deripaska himself admits that they did not hurt his business too much.

  17. A soft side of Trump.  Not much was said about this. 

     

    "President Donald Trump spoke Friday with the parents of American college student Otto Warmbier, who last summer died after 17 months in captivity in North Korea, offering emotional support ahead of his planned summit with dictator Kim Jong Un.

    The President offered a warm message to the family during their conversation, according to sources familiar with the call, the latest in his administration’s personal outreach. Otto’s parents, Fred and Cindy Warmbier, have sued North Korea in federal court, charging the Kim regime “brutally tortured and murdered” their son.

    The call comes as Trump has offered hints that three other Americans who remain prisoners in North Korea could be freed as part of the summit preparations."

      That message could've come from anyone in Trump's inner circle.  It was something that Trump personally reached out to them.  And, what had happened to Otto shouldn't be cast aside.  It must be so painful for the Warmbiers to watch the unfolding event.....

  18. Trudeau tried to justify giving 10 million settlement to Khadr saying that we violated Khadr's constitutional right....and that Khadr was asking for 20 million. 

    Now, Trudeau government is giving only approx. $36,000.00 for each victim of child scoop.....which is also a violation of constitutional rights.

    Indigenous people should get a class-action lawsuit and demand $20 million for each victim.  Maybe Trudeau will settle for 10 million each!

      Indigenous people get screwed. Justin tells them "indigenous agenda needs time" so he drags his feet. On the other hand he won't heed the Senate's opinion that he's moving too fast on marijuana. The Senate wants Indigenous concerns addressed. Trudeau wants pot legislation by the summer. What's up with this?

  19. Majority of Democrats give credit to Trump!

     

    "More Democrats Think Trump Responsible for State of Economy

     

    The numbers are notable since most economists agree the economy is booming, and Democrats are not usually eager to give credit to Trump. 

    The stock market has risen over the past year and unemployment has been slashed to 4.1 percent, its lowest level since December 2000. "

      The fact remains that some of the time a firearm does de-escalate a situation that might go catastrophically bad. That reality has nothing to do with your Trump derangement syndrome. I have no idea what this topic has to do with Trump. I'm starting to think you can't utter a sentence without mentioning Trump. Want me to say Trump again, just to make you feel good. Trump, Trump, Trump. Feel better now?

    4. BubberMiley

      BubberMiley

      He was doing something to make the cop shoot. He was pretending he had a gun and was going to shoot him. He also called for him to shoot numerous times. It was a classic case of suicide by cop that would have, in most cases, worked. This cop just happened to show restraint, which usually doesn't happen in these situations.

      hmmm...Angus seems to be going over the edge now that his Trump is going down.
