As a former "leftie", I now think most people are conservative. We want peace, not war; stability, not chaos; responsible gov't, not corruption; personal rights & freedom, not chains; choice, not dictates; community, not isolation. I reject labels like left, right, fascist, etc.
@david_parker Yes...the failure has long roots going back decades. No one in Canada should be poor, homeless or hungry...but we have lots of folks who have fallen on hard times. We need better leadership. Who's going to lead us?
@TONYxTWO OMG...just because he is POTUS is no reason to respect him if he behaves like a boor, which Trump does on the regular. Leadership is more than shouting people down, calling people names and promoting delusional notions that have no basis in reality or fact. No respect deserved.
@mapleblooded As soon as Trump imposed tariffs & started negating the trade agreement with Canada we were destined to go into a recession. Trump planned it. He wants to destabilize Canada to take it over. Carney is doing his best to diversify our economy. I hope he is successful.
@julielund15@FloppingAces Well, Trump is the King of personal insults, in case you haven't noticed. Civility has gone the way of the do-do bird since he arrived. Trouble is many issues Trump raised are real problems. But Trump has no solutions. So he bluffs and blathers. Mental midgit.
@Soaringeagle45 Actually, Trump has benefited hugely from all the media attention he gets, that he purposely generates. His 2016 campaign is a case in point. He earned literally billions of free media time that helped propel him to the presidency. it was gross. Trump is a publicity hound.
Carney is a banker...a capitalist's capitalist, so of course he was hanging around with Epstein. Was he into other stuff with Epstein? I haven heard anything...yet.
@AlGreco_1@JayGenXer You are correct. The progressive parties of the past have become elitist & conservative over time. Corruption, greed & intellectual bankruptcy will do that. I am very disappointed with the NDP. What happened to Corporate Welfare Bums and Jobs, Jobs, Jobs of the 1970s?
@julielund15@FloppingAces No, actually he exposes himself as a boor, an intellectual midget and an ill-mannered, ill-tempered spoiled child. If you can't see that, you are the problem. Any reasonably mature adult will tell you so. Grow up!
🚨NOW: Rep. Thomas Massie just stood on the House floor and named what every politician in DC has spent 58 years pretending did not happen
The USS Liberty. June 8, 1967.
34 dead American sailors. 174 wounded. Over 70% casualty rate on a virtually unarmed US ship.
25 minutes of Israeli jets, Israeli rockets, Israeli 30mm cannon fire, and ISRAELI NAPALM ON THE BRIDGE. Then Israeli torpedoes. Then Israel machine-gunned the lifeboats.
MASSIE: "They were intent on leaving no survivor."
Then the part nobody wants you to think about: the Saratoga and the America launched planes to help. The planes were RECALLED. The crew sat there bleeding for 17 hours.
Dean Rusk. Richard Helms. Admiral Moaner. The chief counsel of the Court of Inquiry himself. None of them believed the "mistaken identity" story.
And now you understand exactly why the entire DC machine and Israel lobby has spent the last year trying to primary this man out of existence.
You are not allowed to say the quiet part. He said it anyway.
Honor the crew. https://t.co/XuDLeFF4gJ.
@KhanSaba1278 If customers stopped tipping servers, restaurant owners would have to raise their hourly wages. Robots are coming to replace servers soon. I am not tipping the robots.
@julielund15@FloppingAces Good question...probably has something to do with viewers. But honestly, I don't think "hand their ass to them" is what he should be doing as a country leader. That's gutter talk. That's low-life talk. That's trailer trash talk. That's wrestling ring talk. That's not leadership.
@Jhonffonseca This is hilarious. Trump is the bully who uses his bad language, loud voice and childish tactics to drown out the other person. We have seen this during his debates and with many journalists who ask challenging questions. Yet, MAGAs love it. Go figure. questions.
@johnrockshomes Jan6 happened because Trump juiced up a crowd of militant supporters who pretend to be patriots so they can throw their weight around, ignoring the law and security personnel in the process. "Hang Mike Pence", anyone?
@mishtal The UK stopped invading and colonizing and genociding other populations a long time ago. It's time Israel joined the modern world and maybe then the people they are trying to eliminate will stop fighting back.
@K_DeRosa_NY135 Joyce Carol Oates: this is a man who is never challenged, whose worldview is never questioned, who “literally never hears a syllable of opposition unless a journalist, usually a woman, questions him—and then he is astonished and infuriated.” He melted down on national TV.
