  1. And I'm Eric!
  2. Don't you mean "Believe women"?
  3. Or alternatively the plans he started are coming to fruition. None of us know enough about what's going on to assign blame or credit anywhere.
  4. which are of course NOT tweets. Trump tried hard to make this into a big scandal, turns out it's really just a big or nothingberder. People can talk amongst themselves personally and it doesn't mean anything.
  5. You saying we ain't got our **** together in Calgary? Oh yeah right.
  6. You get over looking stupid in a mask pretty quickly. Not that I'm wearing a mask in public but I have had to wear a respirator a ton for work and yeah you just stop thinking about what a tool you look like. We're all tools.
  7. Testing testing testing and more testing coupled with players being very secluded. It is the only way to avoid risking the players contracting it.
  8. So yeah Manitoba isn't the only province making cuts. the hatchet man Jason Kenney has been cutting away all along AND he's already told doctors that once this is over he's got an axe with their name on it. ******* conservatives in this country man.
  9. My understanding is that it's a pretty red part of California. Plus I can assume the US is no different than anywhere and by-elections are very poorly attended.
  10. Trump is one of those guys who has money but is still shunned by the upper class because he completely lacks class. That's who he desperately wants the approval of, instead he has to settle for Jimbo and his fellow racist white trash losers.
  11. All I know is that Trump is the god damned dumbest authoritarian to ever get this far in actually over throwing democracy.
  12. This is his single biggest failing. He legit thinks he's a super genius and doesn't like having people smarter than him in the room telling him he's wrong. He's gone his whole life getting by lying about everything and when he runs into a problem his go to move is to sue and hope the other side runs out of money first. Just worthless as a leader. Literally all he had to do was say "Ok you smart guys fix this for me" but no in his idiocy he thought he could just wish it away. Perhaps he saw how past potential pandemics turned into nothing and figured this would be the same... except everyone saw this coming when China had huge issues.
  13. yup it's TSN. They don't trust the game to sell itself and try and fancy it up with all these bonus segments! Trouble is it does more to turn people off than encourage new fans. No one is going to suddenly start giving a **** about football just because some clueless singer starts blabbing about useless inane crap.
  14. You know if Trump spent as much time actually trying to address the pandemic as he did trying to game the numbers maybe the numbers wouldn't be such a problem. Guy is just such a world class idiot. Thinks he's still on reality TV where you can make reality whatever you want it to be.
  15. But it's all fine and dandy that they pay taxes here and contribute to local economies. I always figure if you're paying taxes what's the issue?
  16. They started investigating Clinton long before Lewinsky was even in the Whitehouse. It was a complete which hunt. I am still not sure what the Clinton's ever did to the GOP to draw their ire so....
  17. Sure there is, they were subpoenaed by congress as part of their over sight on the executive branch of the government and every court has said "Yeah bro, you gotta hand em over" But you knew that right?
  18. and you wonder why people think you can't reason with them. There is an awful lot of intolerance from the left. Instead of dismissing people you need to engage with them. Easier to be a condescending ass on the internet though so that's what a lot of people default to these days.
  19. It is impossible to fathom especially considering some of previous rulings out there. Yet here we are. Judges are now political hacks making rulings not based on the rule of law but on partisan sides. And before anyone screams both sides it's only the one side doing this.
  20. OK then how about the fact that Clinton got an actual trial in the senate with witnesses and testimony and all that while Trump didn't have to go through that? Totally the samers right?
  21. Cause there are no degrees of criminality! lying about something personal like a BJ from an Intern is exactly the same as all the **** Trump has done. I mean christ Trump has lied about plenty of BJs I am sure.
  22. No you don't shout it down, that just makes people dig in and get defensive about their position and shut off to reason. You have to get them to explore why they believe what they do because change only happens from within. A person has to want to find the correct answer, and you are more likely to get them there by engaging them as opposed to just trying to silence them. It's also good to do these exercises to re-assess why we believe things ourselves. Everyone believes they're informed and correct, but we all need to make sure we're not just swallowing whatever point of view we happen to initially agree with. It all needs to be help up to a critical light.
  23. The way to get people to stop holding ignorant views isn't to try and shout them down, it's to question them on their beliefs and don't let them give non answers. Why do you believe this? Provide rational and proof for your claims. One of two things will happen. They will either develop some self awareness and repent their sinner ways, or they'll just shut up about it.
