  1. Can you explain what happened to the billions in aid money that went to Haiti? What did it accomplish?
  2. The right to defend one's home with firearms in Canada isn't the same as in the US. There was a case of a firearms instructor who woke up at night to discover his house was being firebombed. He fired a couple of warning shots in the air to scare them off, and the rest of the story is a nightmare. The homeowner was the one that was treated like a criminal and put through the ringer. https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/man-acquitted-of-firing-warning-shots-at-group-who-firebombed-home-1.1102114
  3. There are some billionaires who are actually pretty far left. Depending on where you stand, George Soros might be the best or worst example. So you agree with Bernie in that there should be no billionaires, but millionaires are perfectly fine? People like you want to just seize the wealth of the billionaires and...redistribute as you see fit? You should know full well how this would end. The billionaires are put out of existence, then you turn your attention to the millionaires and then seize all their wealth. But it wouldn't just end there would it?
  4. https://edition.cnn.com/2019/04/10/politics/bernie-sanders-taxes-millionaire/ Then there is the broader problem of Sanders’ wealth as it relates to his core campaign message that “millionaires and billionaires” have cornered far too much wealth and power in this country – and need to be reined in by a more activist federal government. Now that Sanders is one of those “millionaires and billionaires,” it could complicate that message – and his appeal as the underfunded outsider taking on the monied interested in Washington. https://www.cnn.com/2019/09/24/politics/bernie-sanders-ultra-wealth-tax-billionaires/index.html Unless you’ve lived on another planet for the last five years, you know that Bernie Sanders isn’t a big fan of the uber-wealthy. He’s been railing against the detrimental effects of millionaires and billionaires on the nation’s economy for years. But on Tuesday afternoon, Sanders took it even a step farther. In a tweet touting his newly unveiled plan to tax the ultra-wealthy, the Vermont senator wrote this: “There should be no billionaires.
  5. There was a time in Bernie's life where he was passionate about taxing the billionaires and the millionaires more. Then when Bernie himself became a multimillionaire, he was only passionate about taxing the billionaires more.
  6. No surprise that Bernie is more sympathetic to Hamas than Israelis. The Dems as a whole have moved pretty far left, and then there is the squad, who are even farther left. They are pretty influential within the party. They complain loudest that the party is not far enough left as they would like.
  7. I think it's more important to discuss just how far left the Democrats have moved since Bill Clinton. Right now, they are firmly in Bernie Sanders territory. Joe did appoint Bernie as an economic advisor...a socialist as an economic advisor.
  8. Didn't bother to watch it. Did Biden use "MAGA" a lot?
  9. I can't blame them for doing this as it's a big easy payday for both of them. But I certainly wouldn't pay to watch it live.
  10. I think the risk of deportation is pretty low relative to the overall amount of illegals, and even if someone is deported, they can waltz right back in because nothing is stopping them. https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/01/us/cleveland-texas-neighbor-shooting-monday/index.html I'm not suggesting Biden is not deporting some, it's just that the process seems kind of futile given that the border down south is basically open. Like whack-a-mole.
  11. Some illegal migrants do commit crimes so it stands to reason that the more illegals that the Biden administration lets in, the more crimes there will be.
  12. So you don't make any distinction between legal and illegal immigration?
  13. I know you'll laugh at what I say, but according to Dinesh D'Souza, the majority of those cases were dismissed on procedural grounds. No, Donald Trump is not an existential threat to Democracy. They are just all reading from the same script when they use that tired line.
  14. https://thefederalist.com/2023/02/27/how-bad-is-your-state-at-managing-voter-rolls-find-out-with-this-new-database/ https://thefederalist.com/2022/08/11/democratic-operatives-control-voter-rolls-in-31-states-report-shows/ No wonder the Democrats want to prevent Republicans from updating voter rolls.
  15. The Democrats are still going to do anything they can to keep Trump off the ballot. https://www.msn.com/en-ca/news/politics/democrats-announce-bill-to-kick-trump-off-the-ballot/ss-BB1jk2Z4#image=2 It doesn't matter to them how obvious it is that this is entirely politically motivated, they'll do it.
  16. It's likely a lot of Democrat supporters voted for her as they have been doing throughout this process.
  17. That's not what this is about. It's about which side is more willing to sit down and have dialogue, and most of the time, it's the right that is willing to sit down and talk.
  18. It's not even close, the left is far more intolerant. Especially of opposing viewpoints. Who always tries to shut down conservative speakers? The Left. Who engages in censorship on social media? The Left.
  19. It was a Spotify link to an earlier show with Dershowitz. You wouldn't have listened anyhow as you always dismiss any and all opposing viewpoints
  20. Sounds like you have a hate-on for defense lawyers. Do you not believe all defendants are entitled to legal representation in court? Or do you want defense lawyers to take their orders from prosecutors?
  21. There are lots of stats out there. Here are some that may explain why certain ethnic groups come into contact with police more often than others. https://crimeresearch.org/2023/11/violent-crime-rates-by-race/ You're suggesting that police are race biased because they interact more with certain minorities. The police react to where the crime is happening. https://reason.com/volokh/2021/04/24/race-and-violent-crime/
  22. This segment on Marketplace was pretty interesting. It was kind of funny to see Stephen Guilbeault checking his watch when getting asked questions. I guess he clearly is not used to that.
  23. You really get triggered easily don't you?😉 Business as usual for a leftist. Maybe you'll get your points across better if you use EVEN MORE CAPS. (Please don't lol)
