Didn't Georgia have a republican Governor? I thought I read that.

Why would it not have come out 5 or 6 years ago?

And the greatest comedian of all time, of course, Jack Benny.

That's what I'm talking about. Well... not exactly the same Stuart McLean was a story teller and it was a kind of variety programme... Anybody want a taste of what we're really talking about - radio plays.... This is a sci-fi program called X-1 that I loved when I was young.... X - 1 The horn blast at the end of the theme would fill me with fear. Listen to this with nothing else playing in the room... get a drink of some kind and listen to it... It's hokey but America at its best

How can I get you to swallow this pill ? What if I put it in a sugar cube ? I saw a documentary about the hard-left hippies who tried to take over the NDP in the early 1970s. They lost, and one of the participants said ... at the time I thought that I was living in the most right-wing era I would ever see. i was wrong. Both Carney and Trump are opening the door to real left wing stuff, and evidence that the left is so really dead is that nobody has even notice. Nationalized industries could percolate, and eventually bring us into a China-style reality this century. But the future is a long way away. It also just happened... there.... and again there.... and there...

I have lots of old radio shows and plays on vinyl. A lost art form for sure.

1. Don't call it The Left for chrissakes

1. At a certain point, he doesn't. In the US, Politics still matters. Nixon went down, for example. 2. Don't call it The Left for chrissakes....

Let's also note that there is a long list of conservatives, non-Democrats and even Republicans who have called out Trump... including Lindsay Graham and JD Vance....

Okay, I will try to be better.

Well... maybe... but if we're going back to Andrew Jackson it would surely constitute a rarity for the present executive to pull that. At a certain point, nobody has real power if it comes down to anarchy.

Well... why don't you respond to my accusation of mushiness on your part ? I'm genuinely curious about this - do you believe Trump has done anything wrong thus far ? Is he weak on any front ? You're too mushy. I personally don't put faith in politicians, and you seem to. I'm not saying you definitely DO just that it seems so. I may be wrong, I often am....

1. 2. Sounds like you want to give yourself a safe space to credit him if crime rates decline, or excuse him if they go up.

The Great Dictators in history didn't get overruled by their judges...

It's not. The truth would have come out by now, but regardless... anyone cheering this on is in the cult and facts only care about their feelings for them. So I'll just give my opinion to save Time: Trump lost, his incompetence is being reflected in the polls, only his die-hard cult continues to defend him.

Now you are calling it blatant. Why would you jump to that conclusion? 🤔

1. Police shot 2 protesters. That's the end. Whatever kind of garland you want to put on it doesn't change the facts and facts don't care about your feelings. 2. You go into the tickle truck to haul our your bag of semantic costumes... go ahead. I will read it and give you a LIKE for your troubles, so be sure to make it very long 3. Yes and people tend to get upset about that kind of thing, especially if they perceive a pattern. Politics is perception. Go read the polls on this, and explain why Trump himself is switching the deck chairs on the boat...

1. Disparaging the protesters in this way and moving the spotlight... sure, go ahead. It won't matter. 2. Has ICE been killing people ? I haven't heard of it. I would say that's why. 3. I'm not outraged, I am just sad that it has come to this. The damage of this movement has gone beyond the public sphere, relationships, families and so on... it's actually damaged the epistemic integrity of language and logic. Maybe it's not surprising... big Revolutions try to do this... the French Revolution changed the names of months and Romania changed how winter temperatures were announced. Reality tends to win out though, and that is doom for current Democrats and Republicans IMO.

1. I agree that finding the ballots that didn't exist is like finding a unicorn. Doesn't mean he didn't try to cheat. 2. Sure.... I think it's already been said that it won't change anything. One wonders why they even wasted the resources to do this ? I have an idea.

This kind of supreme doublethink will be looked back at, and everybody will wonder where your kind disappeared to. The guy who phones the governor and asks to "find votes" is the democrat here, am I right ? Anyway, enjoy your time in the sun, because it's setting on you now... So ... you win then... great. Enjoy it. Maybe they'll declare Trump won in 2020 and then he'll be awarded a third term. Would you like that ?

Everybody heard the tape of Trump trying to interfere with the elections and the public statements of the Republican governor. Trying to rewrite the past to make Trump the hero isn't going to reverse the terrible direction America is taking. My advice to his team is to do a coup now since their politics is turning out to be even worse than their ability to manage...

I didn't put it on a person... that's what happened. Maybe you don't want to acknowledge that, not sure. Based on ? A stumbling dictator-to-be who can't assemble a team smart enough to get around the existing framework ? He's highly unpopular. I would say, at a minimum, the jury is out on liberal-democracy's next act.

Canadians know more about America than a lot of Americans. And we know little about our own country. Jay Leno used to talk to Americans and make them look stupid. The funny thing was they didn't edit out any of the participants ...

Now that we have a hardline US government, things should be changing right ? Or ... not .... See, since these problems are more difficult to solve than an idealogue will tell you, they will just point the finger of blame elsewhere when they get power: the cities, the states. Fuel the anger... find more fuel... Trump says he was saddened to hear Renée Good's parents were big Trump supporters. It makes sense, because the death of a US citizen wouldn't be expected to sadden him if they were Democrats. Just some random thoughts here...

Stay world class Dave!
