August, I suspect that your post was written by an old man who lost his marbles. Whatever. This is a banal, useless thought, that you repeat like a broken record, screeching it over and over again in posts innumeberable. Europe evidently wasn't civilized in summer of 1914, because they embarked in the most disastrous (and pointless) war the world's ever seen shortly thereafter.

When it's intentionally deceptive and ignores all context, it's misinformation. Some of the stuff he said was complete bullshit. Talking about our air quality going down without offering that we were dealing with catastrophic forest fires is brazenly dishonest. Quoting our higher unemployment numbers as evidence of our downward trajectory is the same, considering it's never been lower in our lifetimes. Those are some examples of why nobody takes Bill Maher seriously as a general rule, but that doesn't mean everything he said was bullshit. Canada's doing worse and getting worse. Housing prices, health care, GDP etc are all in bad shape and getting worse.

Yep, because all of the above are foreign to you, living as you do in conspiracy clownworld. 🤡🤡🤡

He's a comedian. They're all smug. This criticism, I think, would be more relevant if we were talking about someone like Jordan Peterson, rather than a washed-up comedian. Bill Maher gets unreasonably elevated, I suppose, but do you have any specific comments on what he's saying here, or is this just a general dismissal?

He says, despite the fact that he was the one that responded to me first in this thread. 🤡 These two things aren't the same. 🙃 Which one is it?

No donkey. You argued that a defense attorney has to go to trial. Joe Tacopina wasn't a defense attorney for Trump, because he didn't make it to trial. Caught lying again. 🤣

You have to be formally accused of something to mount a legal defense against it. I'm not sure what contract negotiations have to do that, but here you are again, spiraling into nonsense and making things up to debate against. It was always inevitable. Eventually, you always end up just arguing with yourself. 🥱

Worthless, misleading citation - garbage post.

I never really found Bill Maher funny, but this is actually a pretty good analysis. I've said it lots of times on this forum, but when you take political correctness to militant extremes, the militant counter-reaction is going to be equally extreme, if not more so. At some point, the outrage politics need to end. "TOO BAD" needs to thrown in a lot of people's faces, and regularly. Your marginal problems and feelings are not always society's to solve. "You are offended that I called someone retarded? Too bad, buttercup." "You are offended that I won't refer to someone as zhey, or that you can't wear clown sized fake breasts to teach students? Too bad, buttercup." "You're waving your Bible around and calling women murderers for getting abortions? Too bad, buttercup." "You want restaurants and small businesses to spend tens of thousands of dollars to remodel their bathrooms to service the handicap customer who only comes by once every few months? Too bad, buttercup."

This is sort of tongue-and-cheek, but it's pretty much correct. Human disasters like the Orange Blob don't even get a sniff at elected office without a rage issue like porous borders to stoke to flame. It's the #1 losing issue for the Trudeau Liberals as well. Navel-gazing and waxing poetic about inclusivity etc are worth nothing when folks are angry about skyrocketing housing prices and the like. It's like the Liberals are trying to make sure they lose elections.

Because you don't want to. On the one hand, you have Ukrainian men giving their lives to protect their independence and their future from the hopelessness of Mother Russia's sickly embrace. On the other, you have Russian peasants dying for nothing but the vanity of an ex-KGB colonel. Who's strategy and motivation makes more sense?

but but but their property values are high! They actually pay more in total taxes than other jurisdictions. What's that? Those low property taxes are helping to contribute to their high property values, and the federal and provincial governments keep having to subsidize them? No I don't want to talk about that.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Oh f**k. That's the funniest shit you've ever said on this forum. Wow. Thanks for that. 🤣

Yes it is. You're literally saying if that chart shows one country has bigger numbers than others, they can do whatever they want. They can invade anyone they like, and it's immoral to resist them. In your batshit clownworld, friends and neighbors providing you equipment and support to even those statistical disadvantages and stop the bigger numbers from killing you is somehow "immoral". You're so dumb it makes me cringe. I literally feel sorry for you.

Defendant, in criminal cases, is the person accused of the crime. https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/defendant Next time, rather than barfing out a wall of useless bullshitting, save yourself the humiliation and do a 10 second google search, you absolute donkey.

You heard it here, folks. "They did not have a defense - but rather competent legal representation." Look at the muppet spinning his wheels. 🤣

Sure, sure, excellent dictation software. 🙄 The point remains, you're "dictating" +40 posts a day, throughout the entire day, confirming you have nothing and nobody else around you. If you're a paralyzed quad, I humbly apologize. Otherwise:

Yes, and if you'd have thought before you posted, you'd realize how pathetic you look telling people you dictate: "ROFLMAO exclamation mark exclamation mark exclamation mark exclamation mark smiley-face-emoji." into your phone for 40+ posts a day, unwittingly confirming that you are alone all day, every day. It goes without saying that nobody else is around to witness that sort of "brilliance". 🤣

Over 90% of civil and criminal cases never go to trial. According to your mental gymnastics, +90% of them didn't have 'defense', even the ones where attorneys torpedoed the prosecution's case and successfully argued the charges should be dropped.

I am struggling to understand why you insist on using this forum as your diary of half-baked thoughts.

You drop ~40 posts a day into this forum, full of spastic emoji-spam, via dictation into your cellphone? Maybe you should consider the practicality of that claim, and try to walk it back. 😐

So the defense team isn't present during arraignment, the long months of discovery and pre-trial motions etc? That's really not how it works, lol. When you start off with something like that, how do you expect anyone to take you seriously and read your subsequent wall of text?

Reality. Morality. Common sense.

This is starting to sound like useless babble. There's a real choice when you vote, that aggregates with everyone else's real choices. Whether the choice brings the change you want depends on everyone else's choices, and the effectiveness and convictions of the people empowered by the voters. One of the problems we've had lately is the centralization of power in the PM's office. The Prime Minister's actual power over MPs is what's illusory. Most of them have been cowed into silence and acting as rubber stamps for the PMO. I always admired Michael Chong. If I lived 15km north he'd be my MP. He stands up for what he believes and even stood up to Harper (losing his cabinet position as a result). The small town folk who have kept him in office for the last 20 years respect that. Most MPs do nothing but nod their heads.

They didn't teach him morality, nor did they teach him basic reasoning. That's why he contradicts himself every second post. This is easily one of the dumbest people on the whole forum. 👌
