Deadlines? What Deadlines?

Yeah, that won’t work. Nice try you Yankee devils.

Historically, the conservatives have objected to the notwithstanding clause. One of the few things I actually agree with them on. I voted strategically. I basically voted “not-UPC” and I make no apologies for it. The liberal candidate has no chance where I am.

Yeah right, eh? All that loose talk about “not cowardice”. Definitely providing aid and comfort to the enemy.

If Trump was president after 9/11, Maher Arar would be dead now. ”oh no we can’t get him back the Syrians have him…”

I can’t post the clip of the press conference. I can’t stand to look at either of those fucking guys. Impeach him.

Are you saying I mailed my ballot in too early?

Scheer in a Meth-addled girlfriend ad? Yikes. You know, I’m old enough to remember when Kim Campbell’s conservatives had ran an ad that basically said of Chrétien, “Look at this asshole, would you vote for a guy that talks out of one side of his face?!?” His face looks like that because he had the misfortune of suffering a stroke when he was a teenager. Campbell caught hell for it; and this was decades before anyone knew about wokeness or cancel culture blah blah. The conservatives won two seats in that election. That was the end of the Progressive Conservative Party in national politics. Speaking of which. I got my ballot off yesterday. Get to voting you bastards.

I don’t think I’ve seen a page on these threads more depressing than this one. Except for the iphone stuff. There’s that.

OooooOOOooooh. “Man-hole.” Carry on, bitches.

Checking the r/military subreddit, the comments seem to be overwhelmingly in her favor, even if some of them stress that they’re not surprised she was fired.

Jesus.

There’s even a term for it : “Euphamism Treadmill”. “Mentally Retarded” was actually a clinical term in official use until the ‘90’s. I think the problem was that you had terms that came into colloquial use that stemmed from that that were definitely disparaging and insulting. The previous terms were far more offensive. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intellectual_disability

You can’t take these clowns anywhere.

I never had a problem not using the “r-word”. I do sometimes fumble with what the correct term is. “Mentally handicapped” is outdated and offensive. “Differently abled” just seems infantile to me. I don’t know.

He was yeah.

He also once suggested that John Maynard Keynes was a bit gay. His book, Ascent of Money, was the first time I’d had the experience of reading something and saying, “this guy’s full of shit.”

Your first problem was listening to Niall Ferguson. But yeah he’s not wrong.

Like Obi Wan Kenobi. Where’s his prequel series? I beg you.

Not exactly politics but a symptom maybe: The USA is hosting three F1 Grand Prix this season: Miami, Austin, and Las Vegas. I don’t know exact statistics but, typically, these events attract a lot of foreign tourists; particularly from Europe and Latin America. The Miami race is less than a month away and, with the exception of the highest priced luxury tier, tickets are still available. Main grandstand (start/finish straight) tickets are still available. I don’t think that’s normal.

Fatalitah!

Yesterdays bond market…

The emperor’s clothes are lovely. Some highlights from today’s cabinet meeting. This is some next level flattery going on here. Trump is looking severely diminished.

Well, I didn’t not-believe you. Honestly, I’ll take your word for it. These threads are moving pretty fast.

WHATWHATWHAAAAAAT?!? How come the markets are down after Trump “art-ed the deal’d” them yesterday for all the peoples ohmygawd???
