Lets see if we can keep this thread a little more civil.

I found this interview very interesting.  A lot of soft balls thrown at Trump, he explained his back pedalling on his more extreme issues as a lot of his claims as opening bids for negotiation purposes.  Which .. whatever .. I still think that those are insincere claims he used to get elected.

He does now come across way more presidential then he did prior to the election.  A lot of his noise, yelling, and rhetoric has been scaled back.

Do respect this one though:

Quote

 

Lesley Stahl: Are you gonna take the salary, the president’s salary?

Donald Trump: Well, I’ve never commented on this, but the answer is no. I think I have to by law take $1, so I’ll take $1 a year. But it’s a -- I don’t even know what it is.

Donald Trump: Do you know what the salary is?

Lesley Stahl: $400,000 you’re giving up.

Donald Trump: No, I’m not gonna take the salary. I’m not taking it.

Unbelievable that you can win a court case by saying your employee doesn’t meet the standards of the industry and nobody should believe him anyways.

Quote: “Fox News successfully argued that Tucker's reputation is so bad reasonable viewers know to be skeptical about his claims.”

Obviously, not taken into consideration, is the fact that most of Fox’s audience is not reasonable.

“We are psychologists, and we are convinced Donald Trump is a psychopath. His malignant behavior over the past four years is growing and escalating right before our eyes. Trump’s psychopathy will change us forever if he is not stopped.
This is not hyperbole. This is not an expression of "a left-wing agenda.” This is a mental health opinion based on thousands of hours of documented behavior by this president.
He breaks norms, rules, and laws with impunity.“

“They go on to list another dozen or so reasons where they base their opinion on...

A couple other cases come to mind:

• Ezra Levant unsuccessfully tried to avoid a libel suit by arguing that he was not a reporter, but a pundit and therefore was not subject to libel laws.  He had to pay $80,000.
• Climate skeptic Tim Ball initially avoided a libel lawsuit because the article he wrote about Andrew Weaver was so full of errors and inaccuracies with such an "indifference to the truth" that the libels directed at Weaver should not have been taken seriously either.  Weaver has successfully won an appeal and an award is pending.

I hope Tucker loses on appeal. He's a horrible person. 

I guess if Ron says it’s OK, then I guess they’re doomed..

You know that they're lying about the case numbers. Red states have been doing this since the beginning. You're not allowed to release any info.

He's so little and pathetic. The polls were accurate, they just didn't break down by swing states. Hilary had millions more votes.

Got a good chuckle from this

Aaron nailed it.

 

 

This was one of the very reasons I thought it was completely stupid that the Anti-Centrist Democrats would throw away their vote like that... this is one of the MAJOR repercussions of their protest vote... ******* stupid then, ******* scary now.

Just a question... Why are you tied up all in knots over a SCJ like it's the end of the world when you live in Canada? We have our own problems as a country here to worry about.

I guess it's the fact I don't feel that it's either one or the other- I can ***** about both problems, I don't feel that if I ***** about one, it nullifies my bitching about the other. 

Also, what happens in the USA... generally seeps into our great Country- in a much milder form I concede, but still seeps nonetheless.

 

It's kind of like when people say "Why are you donating to African famine relief? You have hungry people in your own country. Why don't you take care of them instead?"

1- You can do both.

2- If you can't help both; maybe help out the people that don't have a safety net.  Because one group's worst day is a whole lot worse than the other's.

3- Responsibility of privilege. If you are in a place of privilege, it is your responsibility to help those less fortunate.

Some, but not all stuff creeps up here. Especially in the area of women's & LGBTQ rights. We are different from the US when it comes to this. Going off on a conservative judge in the US being appointed by Trump is mind boggling to me. I just see the tortured angst from some Canadians on social media the past couple of days & shake my head. I know posters on facebook that are losing their minds tonight.

Yeah, I don't understand why people are losing their **** over this- it was expected.  The Republicans have no morals, shame, or integrity, why were people disappointed that the lot of them comport themselves in a hypocritical, sanctimonious and generally people of low character manner, it's expected. 

You don't think trumpism isn't seeping into Canada? I mean, Jason Kenny is a poor man's trump and he is premier of  wild rose country.  He ran on a populist platform like trump did... and it worked. 

The expectation of norms in the USA also affects what is acceptable here in Canada. I mean, I find myself affected by it- I have given Trudeau far too many passes because my bar is set @ trump right now. "Trudeau-We scandal raises concerns over government granted contract"- I'm all... "Yeah sure, that doesn't look good, but is it really that bad... I mean trump installed a donor loyalist as Post Master General to break the USPS because he wanted to **** with mail in voting during a pandemic..." I should be a lot more concerned about the We scandal than I have been... 

What happens down south affects us a lot more than most think.

And it’s the ignorance, and the racism. It’s not just the states of course, but that’s where we see it and witness it the most. There should always be a blowback to this kind of behaviour and we are affected by this in many ways if you really think about it. 
I usually don’t post political stuff, but what’s happening in the US goes way beyond politics in what we perceive to be a “democracy”. 
We have to comment on this because simply saying harrumph, we’re ok, we don’t live there, is simply not good enough. 
The world is speaking out and the credibility of the US is sinking to an all-time low and his enablers should have to pay a price. What that is, I don’t know. But if we Canadians can flip some of the smarter Americans to vote out Trump, then it’s worth it.
The stupid are beyond our reach.

Look for these ads to be appearing soon..

 

The most 2 faced politician and it's not even close.

 

It’s really pathetic to hear him grovel like the miserable human being he is. 
No surprise...just pathetic.

It's the 10% rule. What happens in USA eventually filters over into Canada.

I'm sure there were some people in France not too concerned about Germany either.

Because it spreads here. Look at the alt-right nutters that were on MBB. 

Look at the alt-right nutters in Alberta, while the Premier *wink*wink* says both sides bad. 

Look at Rebel media, the Sun, National Post, Globe, all owned by alt-right and being pushed by the Cons federally and provincially. 

We're at the start of this fascist movement, not the end.
