A lot of it too comes from useless educations and degrees.  How many engineers, accountants, physicians (who actually treat patients), builders, tradespeople, business owners and entrepreneurs support socialism?  The common thread among all these groups is they don't make excuses or apologies for who and what they are. 

 

Exactly - they've absorbed the lessons of opportunity, hard work and individual accountability - and left the "experts" that tell everyone else what to do, like teachers and social justice warriors - to ruin those important concepts.

 

Those useless degrees could just as easily be earned by watching TV all day.

Another idiot academic loses her University teaching position:

Jessica Adams, a full-time lecturer on IU’s Bloomington campus, found herself in trouble in September when a student said she used a graphic identifying “Make America Great Again” as an example of covert white supremacy in her class on diversity, human rights and social justice.

The movement is brought on by the corruption of our teacher's union and universities - particularly the social sciences.

 

 

 

"People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw rocks"

 

Strains credibility when a Trump supporter complains about corruption elsewhere. I know you think Trump can do no wrong but some might view the present level of corruption in the 'first family" will likely be found to have been unprecedented.

Taking his cues from Trump, Carney's renovating the "Canadian Whitehouse".

It's just like someone with severe TDS to go back to all the debunked law fare initiated against the Trump family.  Look at the assholes that launched it - Fani Willis, Letitia James, James Comey, Joe Biden - all criminals trying to jail their major political opponent on bogus/fake charges - just like a banana republic.

 

And of course, when Americans realized the lengths these assholes would stoop to - Americans rejected THEM and elected Trump.  What idiots they were to try and put Trump in jail and remove him from the Presidential ballots.  Americans are not stupid and understand corrupt politicians that have NOTHING to offer except "We don't like Donald Trump"

 

Imagine that as your campaign platform.

IF the US went to war with Canada, it would be a training exercise....

 

I mean, yeah, obviously. 

 

The problem isn't winning the war. It's the next 50 years with a 5500 mile border, potentially 40 million newly-minted terrorists, largely indistinguishable from Americans, many of who would view the Geneva Conventions as naive suggestions.

 

It is super strange how Americans keep on believing that "winning the war" is the end of things, not the beginning.  When was the last time that was true? WW 2 or Korea?

Nice!  Angela tugs me around London pretty often, sometimes for an entire week.   Paris too.  However, we both prefer to spend the majority of our time discovering in the nooks and crannies.  We plan on spending time in Llandudno also on this trip and actually can walk there from where we will stay.

 

It turns out enduring London will be worth it. I heard back from the Royal Institution today and even though they are closed on July 27, they are letting me and Lyn in to tour the Ri!

You need to be more understanding.

 

Now that MAGA's favorite island is off limits, there's no democrat in the white house to "peacefully protest", and their great white hope has kind of shat the bed in Iran, there is a concerning lack of positive talking points.

 

So when in doubt? Fall back on the tried-and-true: A good old-fashioned and self-administered suppository of 1950s conservative talking points!

Took the words out of my mouth.

 

When was the last time the US won a war? Iran? Sure the US destroyed Iran's navy, air force, etc. But So far Iran still has its nuclear abilities, still has caves full of missiles, and now, now it seems to have gained control of the SOH, not to mention potentially being awarded billions of dollars from the US. Even Trump hasn't got the balls to actually attempt to invade the country. And Canada is 6 times larger than Iran, and 15 times the size of Afghanistan. And size does matter when it comes to controlling or invading territory

 

Winning a war takes more than the best weapons. Look at the French resistance in WWII and the problems a small group of people caused the mighty German war machine.

 

Look at the failure of Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba and the futility of the hardships the US has imposed on the Cuban people for nearly 70 years.

 

Look at the embarrassment when the US was forced to flee Saigon. Look at the fiasco that took place when the US fled  Afghanistan.

 

And one more thing. There are a lot of Americans that would rather join Canada than fight us.
