Interesting interview of a person who covers the Christian Right in the USA, and what they get from Trump. ” “What do you think is the ultimate goal of the Christian right leaders who are supporting Trump? POSNER: A very serious - more serious rollback of the separation of church and state than the Supreme Court has already undertaken, and kind of a flipping of the separation of church and state to elevate the free exercise clause over the separation clause - so to basically brought in what is perceived as religious freedom for Christians and to have government policy and the law reflect that. So if you think about the Hobby Lobby decision, where a Christian company was permitted to opt out of providing contraception coverage in its employer health plan, bolstering government support for Christian private schools, creating huge religious exemptions so that people would not have to comply with nondiscrimination laws protecting people based on sexual orientation and gender identity - basically, have a government run from the perspective of the Christian right, what they would call a biblical worldview.” https://www.npr.org/2020/07/08/888906337/unholy-examines-the-alliance-between-white-evangelicals-and-trump we have the same thing in Canada. People who want the laws of our country to be based on their religious beliefs. Hard no to that idea.

This statement makes no sense.

How many Republican Senators that are defeated will blame the confirmation hearings, Americans in need in fact all of them should be pissed that this hearing is going on

You have to admire the perseverance of these voters. They sacrifice their time to get that m.f. out of office.

Again, we don't have to look very far to see that white supremacy is spreading in Canada. F*** Trump and all his supporters.

No? He was sued in the 70s by the justice department for discrimination in his renting practices against African Americans... he took out full page ads in newspapers calling for the execution of black people who were already exonerated of the rape/murder they were accused of... he campaigned on the idea that Mexicans were criminals and then went about putting Mexican immigrants in concentration camps ripping families apart and even going so far as genocide. He won't denounce white supremacists, what do you think the dogwhistle about saving the suburbs is really about? The man is a racist and shows it constantly. Don't handwoven away the constant dog whistling he does.

Don’t deflect. We were talking about Trump. And right now, I’m watching 60 minutes where the Lincoln Project is ripping that guy all over the place...and rightly so. And they know they’re finished within the Republican Party. “Mourning in America” And they buy space every night on Fox News to get under his skin because they know he watches that putrid channel all the time. ”Women move off of support to Trump, then their husbands follow.“ “Deeply embedded racism” “We’re not out of it until the job is done”

That ‘mad woman’ ‘monster’ Kamala Harris might disagree. His word, not mine.

Taylor Hall signing.... “When you look past some of the smoke and some of the stuff that’s happened to the Sabres over the last couple of years, under the hood, there’s some really good pieces,” Hall said during a video call Monday, a day after signing a $8 million contract. ( Yeah the 8 million had little to do with it..🙄🙄🙄)

Anybody else feel like Manitoba is in trouble? I feel like more restrictions are coming.

Sorry you are uncomfortable with your own racism.

Where would the Seahawks be without Russell Wilson? Hands down the NFL MVP right now.

Yeah, good point. I totally disagree with you, 100%- but I respect your opinion and I can see why you would support him if your main issue is war mongering. I am concerned with war mongering, but it is lower on my "issues list" and therefore not going to sway me from my anti-trump. I also firmly believe that if war mongering would benefit trump, he would be bombing the **** out of countries and getting the boys over there with boots on the ground, before you can say "very fine people on both sides".

If you need a chuckle, this is it.

the fact he enables and excuses white supremacists and fosters hate for Black people is enough. Just because you haven't heard him personally denigrate and view people of Colour (many people are on record saying he slagged people of Colour) doesn't mean he is not a racist. His actions that enable and embolden hate crimes is enough to say he is a racist. He's done more for the Black community? Yeah, sure.

That would be a nice add but if Chevy lands a top 4 Dman to go along with the 2C he just acquired, what am I supposed to do with my torch and pitchfork?

Jets and Knights close on a deal that would swap Roslo for LD Nate Schmidt. Schmidt had 5 years remaining on a 6 year deal at 5.95 per. All this per talking heads on Twitter (NHL Trade Rumours, Mike McIntyre)...

Only at people who can't see the truth. Trump was a racist long before he was pregnant he has done nothing to change it. Dunno why people constantly make excuses for him.

You lost me after stating you don’t see any racism.

Asked front liner how many ICU spots and was told around mid 40s in the city.

That fact that 2 weeks in to code orange the case counts are still rising is a little alarming. Manitoba is likely in a unique position as far as hospitalizations. We have an empty hospital set up as a dedicated CV19 hospital if needed. The old Women’s Pavilion at HSC was closed in December when the new Women’s Hospital opened. We have greater capacity that we normally would if required. Normal ICU beds available in MB is 89.

Damn straight - and the school system would function a lot better with fewer sick days needed, if this had always been the practice. I know it's tough to keep kids at home, but if everyone did it, it would be required less often.

I could never hear that name and not think of this. RIP.

He's pardoned several african americans. He pushed through the historic criminal justice reform bill that repeals some of the horrible policies that disproportionately affected African Americans that Biden passed and then bragged about. He also promised the African American community jobs before being elected and then African American employment rates ended up being at all time highs. Going forward he's planning on investing 500 billion dollars into building up African American business and is pledging to label the KKK as a terrorist organization which will open up all kinds of powers to go after white supremacists.

I totally agree with you that he largely is a fake person. He views politics the way that one my view a business start up. You find out what the people want and then you take on those positions. If you follow through on those promises then you will get repeat customers. Like nobody believes he found God for example. But he's done a better job of giving the evangelical vote what they want then other republican presidents. While he does like a lot. Especially when it comes to boasting his accomplishments and also not being honest about things he's done in his life that would hurt his presidency. I feel like he genuinely tries to implement the policies he was elected on. So in that way he's more honest than some presidents. Im not sure what you're referring to in terms of fostering hate for Black People and enables and excuses white supremacists. I hope you aren't referring to the Proud Boys who are 100 horrible things but certainly not white supremacists.

Yeah.. He's a systemic racist and has shown that like many other on many occasions. However, I've yet to see evidence that he hates people who are of a different race than him. In fact I think he's done a lot more than previous presidents for the African American community.
