  1. In light of Saudi Arabian murder of WashPo columnist who was critical of Trump, Trump holds a rally and praises violence against journalists and incites crowd to do more of the same. I'm not making this up.

      The ones who condone the beating up journalists are no different from Brown Shirts.

  3. Daniels needs a name for Trump in keeping with his insults to everyone else. I would suggest The Little Mushroom, or perhaps Mr. Yeti Pubes.

  4. So, really, our  Prime Minister was unable to say any words to our U.S. allies who are mourning 9/11 17 years on. Never forget - he/she can't be bothered to remember

  5. "What he didn't say was how US is going to win!"  :lol:

    This came from a panel guest at CTV - on Trump's speech about Afghanistan.  

  6. Now has a British passport! Which makes me even more superior to the rest of you than is usually the case!

  7. Why is the moon briefly covering the sun so interesting to people? Especially when looking at it is a public safety issue.

      Tidal forces are greater so it might have something to do with quakes as well.

      Because it's a rare thing in most peoples lives. I watched it by projecting the image onto a piece of printer paper with a pair of binoculars. It worked well but the eclipse was kind of an anticlimax. I expected it to get darker but there wasn't much change at all.

  9. " I think Senator Blumenthal should take a nice long vacation in Vietnam, where he lied about his service, so he can at least say he was there."

    - Trump demonstrates he can troll a Democrat just like the best of us. From that position of power, and via Twitter no less.

    Hats off to the true master. :lol:

      Trump is not one to be yipping about Vietnam.  I see a lot of media talking about North Korea, Trump wants to talk about a Senator's military record. He didn't serve in Viet Nam but at least Blumenthal has a military record.

      Yup, for a President he makes a great troll.

  11. No one in BC lit their hair on fire when PM Trudeau took 4 weeks to show up at the wildfires.  No one cares.  

    Unlike Alberta conservatives who use the fires as a political issue.

  12.  Boy Scouts offer official apology for having the president speak at their jamboree.  

    You can't make this stuff up!

  13. The CEO of Magna made $182,000,000 last year. The Prime Minister of Canada made $174,000. Maybe if we paid the PM a hundred million a year we'd get a really good one for a change?

  14. Can you believe this bull about Sears?   They're ripping off pensions of employees....and giving bonuses to executive officers - who no doubt had everything to do with Sears' failure!   

    I hope these employees win in their lawsuit!  Companies like deplorable Sears ought to get knocked down!

      Pensions go to the back of the line when it comes to claims to company assets during a bankruptcy. I don't know what kind of pension plan they had, how much the employees contributed, or how it was managed. Since the market recovery many plans that were underwater after the 08 collapse are now fully funded again, which means the employee contributions are covering all of the benefits and the companies are paying nothing.

      "Full transparency: I'm deleting old tweets. Past views evolved & shouldn't be a distraction. I serve ‪@POTUS agenda & that's all that matters,"

      Is this an oxymoron or his he just being transparent about the fact he is trying to cover his tracks?

      The White House has pretty much crawled into its bunker and is only doing off camera briefings anyway.

      It's the 28's in SFO not the 26's. My bad but it's been about 15 years. Maybe thinking YVR. From what I read 28L was closed and the lights were off. Still, runway and taxi lights are different colours so there shouldn't be confusion at night in good visibility. This kind of thing is more likely to happen in daylight. #Harrison Ford.
