Some people may beg to differ on this judge.Â
I respect the opinion of Alan Dershowitz more than most other legal pundits. I point out that he is a classic liberal and no fan of Trump.

Nobody should be surprised by this, Remember how Democrats and their supporters were screaming when Republicans released more footage of Jan 6 that didn't fit the narrative? They never wanted the whole story or all available evidence.
It's the same story with regards to Russia collusion, the FBI withheld exculpatory evidence.

Those who pay, Canada and the U.S. want to have their henchmen in place, and Canada and the U.S. are nothing but rotten governments that are responsible for the current situation. I have a plan to get rid of corrupt governments, get rid of money, are you ready to support me
No.

Personally I wouldn't get to worried about it though. It'll never happen and in fact I think most of the human race will be dead or dying within the next 20 year's so, who knows what sort of opportunities that will bring.
Less CO2 emissions so đź‘Ť
Don't worry, the left has a plan. It's called 'degrowth'.

Trudeau or Poilievre don't represent Canadians but the cia but now let's about making Haiti a Canadian province
Can you explain what happened to the billions in aid money that went to Haiti? What did it accomplish?

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.

That's right, such runaway wealth is unconscionable on a world of increasingly limited means that's filled with such an increasing level of need.
It's been going on far too long, for decades
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?

Do you have anything that might qualify, quantify or corroborate that somehow? If it's just some op-ed slag piece from Infowars don't bother.

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.

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.

Did you know that economics is a social science?
Think about that.
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.

Nope. Bernie is firmly AGAINST Joe's policy on the Israeli/Hamas war and other things. Compared to Bernie, Joe is right wing.
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.
-
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.

Didn't bother to watch it. Did Biden use "MAGA" a lot?
-
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.

In general immigrants commit crimes at a LOWER rate than citizens. Likely because their penalty of deportation is much more severe.
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.
-
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.

60 courts have said the election wasn't stolen. Even the SCOTUS said it wasn't stolen. You just aren't capable of accepting that Trump lost fair and square. You just hate democracy and want a dictator.
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.

No wonder the Democrats want to prevent Republicans from updating voter rolls.

The Democrats are still going to do anything they can to keep Trump off the ballot.
It doesn't matter to them how obvious it is that this is entirely politically motivated, they'll do it.

Nikki Haley won BIG this evening in Washington D. C.  Easily ousting Donald Trump by a margin of over 30%! Â
Ms. Haley in recent weeks, tired of being back stabbed frequently by Trump, began biting back and with it her delegates count in the Primary nominations race rose with her, showing clearly that real Republicans marginalized by Trump's dark plans for the Country if he's elected, are looking for someone better and unable to bring themselves to vote for Joe Biden either are gratefully headed for Nikki Haley name on the ballot.Â
Though she started this momentum late, she has a sizeable following not just of Republicans but also among the all important Independents who now make up a sizeable 35% of the public, people mostly b who Trump has disdained, or outright threatened or attacked with his rhetoric or past behavior where he has pointed fingers of anti-social or anti gender bias. Â
It's likely a lot of Democrat supporters voted for her as they have been doing throughout this process.

If "intolerance" is stretched so ridiculously to mean intolerance of intolerance, the word loses its meaning.
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.
Â
-
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.

At Least the Fani Willis Case Against Trump Has a Reasonable Judge
in Federal Politics in the United States
Posted
Interesting that you bring up judicial ethics when this was about Fani and Nathan perjuring themselves. Fani benefitted financially from this case and her excuse that she always pays cash is laughable.
Not to mention the fact that Wade had no experience with this type of a case.
How are Fani and her boyfriend ethical?
