The road to 2020

Canadian media is already looking past the election and a presumptive Biden win, so that things can get back to "normal" with America leading again and paying for it, because nobody else will do it.   Canada longs for the good old days when it could hate America and Americans without paying any political or economic price.

Canadians don't hate America. They hate a lot about its politics. And I expect they will hate a lot about a Democratic administration's politics, too. God knows I expect to. My only 'looking past' is the hope that if he wins Biden will rein in the loonies in his party, or if not will lose the House in the mid-terms. Also that the Republicans will select someone sane the next time around. Though If Trump is still alive and not in prison I expect him to either try again or push his son forward (if he's not in prison too).

Sorry, but the Canadian disdain and hatred for the U.S. and Americans is well documented, even if it is only a large minority, and extends far beyond politics   This pre-dates Trump by decades, only to be inflamed more by his personal attributes and policies.  

Canada wants Biden to win by an overwhelming margin, if only to be rid of Trump, regardless of the negative consequences that Biden will bring as well.    So we can get back to the usual softwood lumber tariffs, NATO wars, globalism, climate-change circle jerk, yada, yada, yada.

...because everything was just so great...before Trump.

He can't cancel the election....Canada will get the rich political entertainment it demands from 'Murica.

If it's entertainment we need, can't you show some Yankee hospitality and have Trump dragged out of the oval office clinging to his burger-stained stuffed eagle ?

Damn - Obama's FBI has thwarted a group of Patriots who were obeying Dear Leader's orders to FREE MICHIGAN

Thankfully to all Dear Leader has pardon powers to save these well intentioned individuals from persecution by the deep state !

Republicans: THE DEMOCRATS ARE GOING TO DO A BUNCH OF THINGS THAT ARE GOOD FOR PEOPLE AND THE ENVIRONMENT !!!!
Democrats: YOU TAKE THAT BACK !!! TAKE IT BACK !!!

That's not what it means at all.

The Dems are saying one thing at the DNC primary and the exact opposite to the American people as a whole. 

That's where politicking becomes outright lying. 

The reason Trump voters feel like he's honest because the things he promises during his campaign are the things he does once he's elected.

Oh, the jobs argument.  

Any job is a good job right ?  

Sorry I have to get back to digging & filling my hole in... 

More like:

- dig a hole, create high-paying jobs that sustain entire communities, and take a huge pile of money out, or

- don't dig a hole, don't create any jobs, and then give a bunch of money to a foreign country. 

 

For people who like the economy, and jobs, it's an easy equation. 

If you don't get it, don't sweat it, AOC can't do tough math like this either. "KEEP THOSE FILTHY AMAZON JOBS OUT OF MY COMMUNITY!!!! THIS IS A WELFARE STATE!!!!!"

Biden has said he won't ban new fracking on private land, only on Federally owned lands.  He's also said that he wouldn't interfere with current fracking operations.

Source: Politico.

I trust the video of him saying it more than Politico's correction. 

Politico doesn't actually set US gov't policy. Biden's own words do that.

A population of 328 million, and these four weak, corrupt, deeply flawed people are the best Americans can do for a leader?

Better than the 2016 crop. Biden's just a senile crook. Hillary was evil.

I’ll give you that.  I’m not sure how they got to be the final 4.  Although after last nights debate, I’d take Pence over the rest.

During the 2016 election I was kind of hoping that the role of POTUS would go to Pence as well. 

Once the dust settles after the debates/election, Trump is a very good President.

Some people just can't let go of the emotions that they feel from the nasty election process.

I could pick any of a hundred Americans who would do better than Pence or any of the rest. The question is why the American political system can't?

I have a theory that the best people don't usually go into politics, and the people who aren't a bit corrupt around the edges don't ever feel the need to have all that power.  

You gotta pick a douchebag who's less of a douchebag than the other douchebags. Be like: "I can totally tolerate this person's douche-baggery because they're better than option b".

I'm sure Dear Leader will continue the help the middle class after he cancels the election.  He cares so much about the little people, unlike those elites !!!  He's the most down-to-earth New York (broke) billionaire God has ever provided !

Quit referring to CNN bullshit as if it's established fact in your posts. 

At no point has there ever been a reason to suggest that "Trump won't leave if he loses the election" or any other such idiotic notion.

The Dems are the ones who got caught cheating TWICE leading up to the last election, they're the ones who used fraud and politicized the FBI to overturn the results of that election, they're the ones who are trying their best to implement every voter-fraud-friendly system ever known to man into the current/future election processes, they're the ones who openly admit that they have a plan to subvert the whole Democracy through the stacking of the SC. You have no reason to ascribe any of those behaviours to Trump. Stick to the truth Mikey.

We suffer from the same MSM dishonesty as the US, but we don't have a Fox News up here to inject some truth into the equation. 

[bush_cheney2004]

Canada's ruling government has already increased the pucker factor over this foreign election...before it has even happened.   As if Canada is going to do anything about it besides ordering more PPE, therapeutics, and vaccines from the United States.

If Trump wins I'm quite certain some of those antifa loonies will transition into outright terrorism. Of course if he loses some of the Trump loonies will too.

I bet they will even if he wins.

What is he hiding?  Why is the press letting him get away with it?  Can you imagine if Trump did this about something?  It’s completely unacceptable for a person that wants to be president.  It’s inexcusable.

That’s not policy.  It’s not even required.  The supreme court is a political issue, especially now.  Voters should know the positions of people running for office.  I would say the same thing if Trump refuses to say where he stands on a similar issue.  You’re just excusing it because orange man bad!

Ah yes because a guy who lost a fortune in business deals is the ideal candidate to manage the u.s. economy.  

Works for me, when they go belly up they can beg Canada for help.

1) He has said that the only way he would lose would be if the other side cheated.  It's irresponsible and lays the groundwork for denying the results.

I was going to respond to the rest of your post but you assert that the FBI is in on some conspiracy, which is just batshit crazy.  I keep forgetting that I have you on ignore because you drink the proverbial kool aid that destroys politics.  The only sane Conservative left is Argus and you lot are pillorying him.

If there's a reason that Communism arrives, it will be because the conservatives went insane.  This is why I identify as conservative now, because the right turned into an LSD cult... and the original pragmatic conservatives are swamped by swamp drainage...

You’re right, he is, considering before covid there was record unemployment, lowest black and Hispanic unemployment ever.  Fastest wage growth on in years.  But yeah, keeping making excuses for Biden dodging questions about changing the  court in unconstitutional ways.  You’re a hack.

Trump won't even tell us when he last tested negative. He's wandering around without a mask around people in the White House and no one there will tell us if he's tested negative now. Even Mitch McConnell says he refuses to go near the place because of how sloppy they've been about covid protection.
