  1. Aaaand the first stepping stone to Privatisation of MB Hydo: http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/manitoba-hydro-sandy-riley-rate-increases-1.3970470
  2. And just to confirm what most already know: http://www.cnn.com/2017/02/07/politics/kfile-gorka-on-fake-news/index.html This is so frightening - I hope there is going to be litigation action every time they claim fake news when in fact it is not. Sue the shit out of the Administration.
  3. I was almost in tears... it was so awesome.
  4. Yup, those Executive orders are thoroughly vetted to weed out any possible issues... Fucking amateur clown hour... http://money.cnn.com/2017/02/06/news/companies/trump-faa-air-safety/index.html President Donald Trump's executive directive to restrict or postpone new government regulations for 60 days has hampered the ability of the Federal Aviation Administration to issue safety orders about aircraft. The instructions, known as "airworthiness directives," are issued frequently, and formalize mandated inspections or modifications to correct unsafe conditions on U.S. aircraft. The stalled directives do not mean that airlines and aircraft operators are unaware of serious safety problems. The directives are typically the last step in the safety regulatory process. The aircraft operators first receive manufacturer bulletins about the problems, but in some instances wait for final FAA notices to act, according to two industry officials.
  5. I don't like to post consecutively multiple times, but this is really brilliant: SNL Spicer skit
  6. I wonder if this is true, that most of the world views the USA as such? http://www.capitalbay.news/politics/1117851-outrage-as-der-spiegel-publishes-shock-trump-cover.html
  7. I am not going to post the image, but it was the village magazine that had the Trump in cross-hair pics. If you need to verify- google is your friend. Now I wait for the Milo HateSpeechWarriors to come defend the Village Mag's right to free-speech and denounce the backlash it is causing. Aaaand just for fun:

  10. True... I wonder though, is it going to be a Comedy, Drama, Tragedy or one those dystopian - post apocalyptic action adventure flicks (think Madmax)
  11. Make sense when you take into account Bannon is a Leninist
  12. Yeah, I don't think so. #alternativefacts
  13. Aaaaand Pow! http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/trump-immigration-executive-order-visas-muslim-countries-1.3966482 Judge temporarily blocks Trump immigration order nationwide Washington state lawsuit says key sections of Trump's order are illegal and unconstitutional The Associated Press Posted: Feb 03, 2017 4:25 PM ET Last Updated: Feb 03, 2017 8:00 PM ET
  14. As a half-hearted JT supporter, This really makes me angry. He needs to make good on his promise of Electoral reform.
  15. That's a stretch... but I will concede your point. I just think it is dangerous to focus on his enlarged Prostate and hair when you have things like: -Muslim Ban -Threats to China over south china sea -Contentious relationships with world powers -Handling of Yemen Raid -Alternative facts -Muzzling of Scientists and government agencies -Changing the Countering Violent Extremism (CSV) program to focus solely on Extremist Islam whilst cutting White Supremacy from that program. - The clear and obvious attempt to undermine, de-legitimize and dismantle the 4th estate. - Staffing Agencies with people that ideologically opposed to the very thing they are there to Protect and are there to explicitly dismantle and destroy the very thing the agency is meant to protect! And I could go on... We should differentiate Trump news... 1) Celebutard type news 2) News that affects the world with potentially catastrophic consequences... 'Cuz if we don't, I think we will run the risk of normalizing the gigantic blunders and aggrandizing the innocuous slights of the Trump
  16. Agreed, I don't see how this falls under US politics- for all his failings as a politician and a human, this is not really... much of anything. If anything it serves to undermine the seriousness of his transgressions and failings as POTUS by making this a "News item". Uhg... so that's what it feels like defending an Angry, cheeto-hued, thin-skinned, small-handed, Man-baby... time for a silkwood shower...
  17. I am waiting for the complete cabinet and then I will draw my conclusion. But so far... Ewwwww
  18. Deckard? Is that you?
  19. How was she stunned? She didn't freeze or anything... she was shouted down by Maria and many occasions... My favorite is at 2:00 when she is shouting "WOO HOO... WOO HOO Christine! " while she was continuing her explaination to Maria... it was bizarre... Watch it again without the Regressive tinted glasses- be objective and you will see that it is a terrible way to conduct an interview.
  20. What is the reason for posting this video? How not to conduct an interview? How to shout over your guest when they are not playing into your narrative? How to be crazy rude to the person you are interviewing? How to cut off someone trying to explain something complex? To show us what a shitty tv journalist Maria Bartiromo is?
  21. Man! Stop shoving your PC guilt down my throat man! Take your Social Justice Warrior routine down to the hippy commune!
  22. That is not what is being argued. Stay on point.
  23. Kelly Leitch does not have a disability... Serge Kovaleski has arthrogryposis. KL was mocked by a political satirical show. SK was mocked by the PEOTUS. Anyone equating the the two even remotely are just ignorant and frankly, stupid. Also, the lack of complaints about the 22 minute bit probably lies in the universally accepted notion that in political satire... *GASP* political figures are parodied... So, you should take that comment back.
  24. Not really understanding your point here. You claim media isn't reporting on the voting irregularities, yet post links to the media reporting on voting irregularities. I think it has less "legs" because it is now passe news... the election is done and this is all just tying up loose ends. If this would have happened before Nov. 8th - there would be a ****-load of coverage on this, I assure you. Outrage from the Progressives over the grandstanding or use of the EC to try and block Obama would totally be expected. It's "their" Guy, just like the opposite would hold true: See, it all depends on where you sit politically. To be fair- in both examples (as ****** up of a control function the EC is) if the EC chooses "to vote their conscience" it is totally democratic and is EXACTLY how the EC was intended. As for the Kellie Leitch's speech impediment and comparin git to Trump making fun of Serge Kovaleski's disability... Not sure if trolling here,but here we go... One can not compare the two. That is just stupid. This Hour Has 22 Minutes is by definition: "a weekly Canadian television comedy that airs on CBC Television. Launched in 1993 during Canada's 35th general election, the show focuses on Canadian politics, combining news parody, sketch comedy and satirical editorials. Originally featuring Cathy Jones, Rick Mercer, Greg Thomey and Mary Walsh, the series featured satirical sketches of the weekly news and Canadian political events. The show's format is a mock news program, intercut with comic sketches, parody commercials and humorous interviews of public figures." On the Other Hand Donald J. Trump was running for his National Political Party's Nomination to run for the U.S. Presidency- agueably the most powerful and influential position in the entire world... Let's go over that again if anyone has missed out on my nuanced take here... 22 Minutes: Comedy Show / Donald Trump: Running for POTUS. one of these is expected to make fun of people, one is expected to elevate and help people. One is (or should be) clearly held to a higher degree of standards.
  25. Also... rigged is not what Obama said. Influenced is what he said. HUGE difference.
