Retired but Active Educator and Grateful Canadian regardless of the party in power. Keenly interested in education, healthcare and some political discourse.
@smerconish@charliekirk11 Intellectual Combat??? Andrew Kolvet words mean everything. Healthy debate has an exchange of ideas. Combat has an exchange of harm that finally renders one side down for the count. Combattive discussion is the core of the violence today.
@acnewsitics More defiance to show the world “He’s different and better so should stand out.” Who uses the funeral of the world’s greatest shepherd to use as a photo ops for tête à têtes with other world leaders? Trump.
@smerconish Are they overshooting the runway in a warning to those who forget understanding history is to not repeat it? Is he more like Mussolini who ended up supporting Hitler? I’m asking. He’s definitely behaving in a dictatorial way.
@Country17Bumpkn@smerconish We can only hope. I suspect they may have to reduce their household staff and exchange solid gold cutlery for gold plated. The rest of us will be using retirement savings to support our children as they navigate mortgages or other reasonable debt facing young families.
@smerconish Yes. Alone, each firm was smaller than David. However, together in a class action suit, they could have retaliated against Goliath and won. They knew he would come after them. They should have been better prepared.
Trump’s « yadda yadda » about how nasty Cdns are to negotiate with is easy to ignore. My 2 morning head scratchers today were #1. we cost him billions and he needs nothing from us. Then why would he want us as a 51st state? #2. He said the border was drawn by a ruler.
@TheView She’s wrong. Sara is right to say all Dems must attend. Straight faced & not taking the bait by Bozo and his clown car chauffeur cheering from behind. They must show real discipline tonight. Message must be you’re there to stay to fight the insanity for the sake of the people.
@twolivejew@realDonaldTrump So you believe a man in a suit (2 smug guys in a suit) garnered more respect than a man who stands in war with his people to protect their land? Keep drinking the Koolaid. The world disagrees. If WW3 does happen, your leaders & their best friend Putin will be to blame.
@smerconish Trump/Vance attack was dispicable & staged. Zelensky’s english was easy for honest intelligent men to understand. Vance tried to present as tough. When asked to clarify his point, he was insulted & shifted to Zelensky’s lack of appreciation. USA is no better than Russia.
@smerconish Yes. If it’s a cheque, cash it immediately and hide it under a mattress to be used only as survival money when Trump and friends finally implode.
