bustamente Posted May 12, 2021 Report Share Posted May 12, 2021 It's a prerequisite that all politicians in US nowadays be the worst of the worst all looking out for themselves all the while enriching themselves, and it's slowly if not already happening up here, as for Liz Cheney she licked Trumps boots until he kicked her to the curb, but really who cares Trump the imbecile is playing them all and they look like fools Tracker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole lot of them are horrible, murderous thugs. Burn the whole thing down. It is already burning down and you ( or me for that matter ) aren't going to like the results. If things proceed as " they " plan the far right won't be allowed to lose the next " election ". That's in quotes because it won't really be an election.

Yeah, if the Dems don't get their **** together and pass some federal guidelines for voter rights to override the crazy amount of voter suppression laws being passed... they are done.

I am honestly baffled (maybe I am a noob to politics), can you indulge me and give me a few examples, I haven't been as tuned in to US politics since Biden. Also, the sheer volume of despicable actions on one side FAR outweighs the other. No it doesn't. Trump just wore it more publically. The Clintons were despicable, so much so that she couldn't even beat Trump. There are hundreds of articles about the Clinton foundations corruption...look into it. As for Biden, if you think he and Hunter are innocent of corruption you will be surprised once the investigation turns in its findings.

That party is basically in shambles while still somehow grifting its diehard supporters. Denying science, spreading misinformation, and being disingenuous has undoubtedly thrown a fair share of fuel onto the ongoing pandemic situation in Canada. Sure, the Liberals have their warts and Trudeau is by far no exception in that regard, but of course you'd cry about him and his party in a thread not related to it. Weird how you rarely, if ever, crap on the CPC with the same enthusiasm. If you don't think US politics affect us here in Canada, why are you here in this thread pulling logical fallacies out of your ass? Totally agree the opposition here is doing a horrible job and is in a leaderless shambles right now. If they weren't perhaps Trudeau would have been forced to resign and been prosecuted by now. 4 minutes ago, the watcher said: Their system is such a convoluted thing it makes really hard to fix.

I always find the problem when talk of changing our healthcare system comes up everyone panics because we live so close to one of the worst and most expensive systems to the south of us. Many other countries have good systems that include some forms of private/ user fee type of systems. Many of them cost less than ours and run as or more efficiently. But not all. rebusrankin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
