This is not an exaggeration but because some feel that this is an exaggeration we still head toward that cliff.

There is no way around this statement no matter how one pretzels themselves and cries victim in trying to explain away why people support his grotesqueness.

Why do I have a feeling she won't see a dime of that. Moral victory at least?

I've never liked you.

What's that I hear? Openly known Magats and other Magats hiding behind labels are feeling more emboldened and supportive of this hideous grotesque human being. Predictably he'll respond to this in the same way they will. He emulates exactly who they are as human beings. Anyone who brushes away what this deeply disturbed man has done to others with a 'yes but what about', 'yes but that person is just as bad', 'yes but I've seen worse', etc is driving us over a cliff. This is not to be clumped into 'let's all be open minded, let's not be divisive there's many differing and equally valid viewpoints on this issue'. In our lifetime Trump will go down as one of the worst human beings ever.

It also supports yet once again just make the damn playoffs no matter the seeding then anything can happen. (Except for the Jets of course).

From the Canadian Press: Notley called the Nazi comments "utterly horrifying." “What we have here is a premier who is looking at over 75 per cent of Albertans who stepped up, who followed the (COVID) science and respected the requests that were made by public health officials to protect themselves, their neighbours and Alberta's most vulnerable citizens and everybody who needed our hospitals — and she's comparing those Albertans, 75 per cent of them, to the architects of an antisemitic genocide. “Albertans, you deserve better. You deserve so much better.” This is another example of many with DS in deciding what one can tolerate versus what one can't tolerate. For some I've noticed there is no threshold.

If this public health measure (not forced, had a choice to take it or not) that was trying to keep up with this ever evolving pandemic which we are still learning about it till this day (that's how science works) was so diabolical and had socially responsible people hoping unvaccinated people would die (Citation, 'I heard') then make it a platform for all of us to see.

In specific cases, it's not about denouncing people who aren't progressive enough. It's about what we can tolerate (each will have their list) and what we can't tolerate (each will have their list). That's education in itself.

Even people like Ted Cruz, MGT, LB and MG could randomly shoot someone (as long as they weren't a white maga)in broad daylight and it wouldn't even make a dent in how Magats feel. In fact, it would probably embolden them even more and might actually pick up a few extra supporters.

We're all in didn't even get them past the first round.

What you say is fact and well documented since he was born basically. What fascinates me is how his approach has trickled down into forums like this on the world wide web. Outright lying, distorting information to seed doubt and gaslighting to get a charge out of well meaning regular folk from all walks of life coming from many different types of political ideologies does not mean you're playing Devils advocate and not to be taken seriously. Responding to these the outlandish claims that have no evidence to back it up is not being tired and embarrassing. But here we are with a few who cryptically cast everyone as embarrassing and all equally bad because someone comes in hot with drivel. That makes me sad and that's what I'm seeing from my perch. You want to talk about being tired and embarrassed in what we now tolerate and what we don't tolerate, that's where I'm at.

Here, I'll play Mother Hen for once. Doesn't the title of this thread begin with 'Don't Look Back? Back to enjoying this conversation. 🙂

I believe it was the Stumpeders a couple of years back went for a lot of 2 point converts. If you have the offence to execute, why not?

A surreal thought came over me walking the dog the other day that because a lunatic thought to himself 'I want that' has lead to enormous amounts of death, despair and destruction.

Based on his actions to date, seems to be the wrong guy for the job.

And the US Legal system response? It's just entertainment not to believed.

The proven cost effective approach, seeding doubt with lies, half truths, information with no context with little to no consequences other than blue checker twitter shame and call out.

Fantastic question that is always interesting to discuss. For me the most appropriate answer and following thru on it takes consistent discipline to help enact the primary goal, which is usually is keep it civil, keep it relevant, keep it interesting and meaningful for all. Because if you do react with some heat (humor, sarcasm, anger etc that I've been guilty of using on many occasions over the years since 2013) to people who confess that they get a charge out of riling others up in not a fun or beneficial way than you than run a high risk of being assessed with the same label as them. When to be tolerant, when to ignore and when not to be tolerant and something needs to be said and how does that fit into civil discourse, crucial conversations etc will conjure up many differing and varying perspectives. And this is just my perspective.

Certain well known gaslighters come in hot spewing absurdness, people react accordingly, gaslighter predictably says echo chamber just helping out can’t we all be civil, enter Rich. Rinse, repeat.

Self identified Gaslighter who spews absurdness to get a charge out of people says what? Whatever floats your boat.

Ask our local devils advocate poster, he'll let you know it's actually not so deranged because all politicians are equally bad, he'll insinuate you are only offering a one sided thought but take what he says with a grain of salt ending with a lol.

But Biden! F Trudeau! Pseudo Criminals! Oh I'm just playing Devils advocate cuz you all just talk in your echo chambers of pretty one-sided thoughts. Take all of this with a grain of salt. lol. I'm clever.

From the Edmonton Sun, letter to the Editor: 'I think it is time for Edmonton voters to correct their voting choices. For years Edmonton was the ONLY place in the province where you could vote communist. Now we have many Edmonton voters who choose to vote socialist. There is only one taxpayer. Voting for the NDP will only bankrupt Alberta. The time has come to retire Notley and her destructive NDP spenders. I believe the UCP under Smith will do great things for Edmonton and all Albertans. Next on the agenda for Edmonton voters will be to get rid of the Liberal Sohi and his bike riding council. Oh and by the way, once Ontario and Toronto voters quit voting Liberal, Albertans will remove the curse put on the Toronto Maple Leafs'. Ken Iskiw A great example of critical thinking, healthy skepticism and just another view point to add to the discussion on who will provide a sound mandate to help all Albertans. C'mon bro.

Q: Okay, now what? A: Nothing. Follow-up by SCOTUS: How dare anyone question our integrity. We are going down a very dangerous path when questioning this body.
