Barr doesn't care about his reputation, he was using Trump for his own goals of a Supreme executive leader. Now that Trump lost barr has no use for him.

Government is not a business. We have already tried cutting taxes and as I said, it's been proven to not work for the betterment of society as a whole. So let's try taxing people and putting in some regulations saying they have to treat their employees well. A strong economy is not created from the top down, it is created from the bottom up.

He won't be forgotten sadly, but he will be remembered in a terrible light so there is that.

They pay 80% of the taxes while controlling 95% of the wealth... you trying to prove my point for me? Look at the golden age everyone pines for... what was the tax rate on wealthy people then? Hell as an Alberta example the ndp raised corporate tax rates and were blasted for it... yet rates were higher under klein. We've tried this cutting taxes on corporations and the wealthy for decades and it has only shrunk the middle class and expanded the wealth gap. It is a failed experiment.

But if we do want to go back to the glory days the first step will be the one thing conservatives are conditioned to hate... taxing the wealthy at a higher level. And not even go back to taxing these guys like they were post war, it will also require governments to legislate worker protections. Again anti-consetvative stances. Basically everything from the 80s onwards was an experiment in seeing if corporations will do the right thing without being forced to. Turns out that no, no they won't. Time to end that failed experiment and get back to governments looking after the bulk of the population rather than the wealthiest.

How? The world has moved beyond that. Trying to fight to bring back a bygone age is a losing proposition. Need to adapt to the new world and not try and go back in time.

There was a mic during the game caught him whining about being targeted 3 times ina row and how he was tired. Aka coach they are playing too hard. That was the thing I love most about that team. They all played a hard tough style.

Well they don't have to say what they're doing, but a simple statement of "we have some ideas if things are still in a dicey situation" Given how spectacularly they dropped the ball in 2020 you can see why it seems like there is no faith.

But that was my entire point... come up with some ideas for multiple scenarios instead of just shrugging their shoulders and saying "well we hope things get back to normal" It may not work out, but for God's sake put some effort in. Come up with out of the box solutions.

The bottom line is that ambrosie has been a pretty poor commissioner and the lack of plans surrounding this are a sign of poor management. Yes this pandemic has made everything difficult, but the organizations that handle it well have multiple plans for multiple situations. The cfl barely had a plan for one certain scenario.

I am sure the war room will get right on that.

That's just it. They are ok with the shitty policy, but don't like the guy saying it out loud.

It was the biggest softball possible and trump not only whiffed, he hit himself in the face doing it. All you had to do was listen to the experts and be a strong calming figure and people would praise your efforts. But no, trump is just weak in every way.

Which is the problem... Moscow Mitch and the Republican controlled senate are sitting on their hands while people are faced with no jobs and an out of control pandemic. They are actively hurting the country through their unwillingness to do anything that isn't for the benefit of the 1%. Those assholes in that party need to be dealt with right away because as long as they exist in their current form you will never unite that country.

Republicans are the problem, trump is just a symptom. You can't unite the country when one side is responsible for the tribalism. It can't wait, the cancer that is the republican party needs to be fixed.

This is the biggest drawback to Joe Biden. He is a middle ground, reach across the aisle type and the Republicans simply don't reach back. The USA needs someone who will play the same games the Republicans do and string em up for all their ****. Because next time the wannabe dictator they pick won't be as inept as Trump.

The GOP would never allow paper ballots only. Too much to lose without easily hacked voting machines.

This is what happens when you don't pay your lawyers.

The only way Trump could crush Fox News is if he were to own it and run it like he has all his other businesses.

But it was Clinton who would have been too emotional to be president.

Oh I have no doubts that they will find fraud if they look hard enough for it.... but not on the Democrats part.

It sure does, but Moscow Mitch doesn't compromise. They expect everything from the Democrats and give nothing. They broke that system by refusing to compromise so Democrats need to reply in kind.
