- Comment on Trump’s tariffs might actually be working as he intended 2 days ago:
Profits are down because prices are up because of the tax and American consumers who pay the tax can’t afford to buy the products. In the absence of less expensive foreign products American companies will raise their prices.
This propaganda rag has no idea how tariffs work. Foreign companies aren’t paying the tariffs. Foreign governments aren’t paying the tariffs. American companies and consumers are paying the tariffs.

It just means that she’s sometimes silly.

My girlfriend is sometimes a turkey and she loves to be eaten. She asks to be eaten. Sometimes, when she’s really in need, she begs for me you eat her. I have no idea what the original post was talking about

Self sitting convenience.

Like, “Bless your heart!” in the south.

Am Canadian, can confirm.
- Comment on House Republicans Investigate Wikipedia Over Alleged Bias 2 months ago:
I remember a time when telling the truth wasn’t considered bias by the Republican party. It was the same time when, “conservative speech” didn’t mean lies, misinformation, and hate speech.

I live in Ontario, Canada. I can just walk in to the local pharmacy and get the Covid, flu, and RSV vaccine for free.

- Comment on What is the point of this exactly? 3 months ago:
I said that in a comment. It won’t catch the bulk of the abuse because it is perpetrated by wealthy, powerful, connected white people.
- Comment on What is the point of this exactly? 3 months ago:
It won’t collect the statistics of the white, wealthy, and powerful who have always gotten away with their crimes because other white, wealthy, powerful people look the other way.
- Comment on What is the point of this exactly? 3 months ago:
The only problem with this idea is that it is designed to record sex crimes against children by non-wealthy, non-politically and -religiously connected, non-powerful, and non-white child sex predators. The wealthy child sex predators, the politically connected child sex predators, the religiously connected child sex predators, and the powerful child sex predators who are predominantly white and birthright citizens will continue to cover for each other or be moved from parish to parish to continue their child sex crimes as her have done for hundreds of years.
- Comment on What is the point of this exactly? 3 months ago:
To show that the vast majority of child sex crime in the UK is committed by white, birthright citizens of the UK?

- Comment on You want to see the difference between real government and fake one? Let's talk about the floods in China and the floods in Texas. 4 months ago:
The local government refused $10 million in federal money for flood control and warning because, “Biden bad!” When they eventually accepted the money they gave most of it to the sheriff, the same sheriff who took more than 90 minutes to send out the first flood warning after being asked and four hours to respond effectively by which time it was too late.
Hundreds of ore died because political dogma was more important than actually leading.
- Comment on Russia is at war with Britain and US is no longer a reliable ally, UK adviser says 5 months ago:
I’ve been around long enough that I recognize bad faith and fallacious arguments, pedantism, and particularly expressions of Danth’s Law and choose not to take the bait. I stay on message which was that it was obvious to the UK who their true and trustworthy friends were (for example Canada which joined the Second World War 9 days after its outbreak and sent young men to fight to stop the spread of fascism and defend Britain) and weren’t (for example the US which sat on its hands for 829 days while Europe burned) at it should be today. It should be horrifying (but not at all surprising) to the UK, and to the rest of the free world, to see that fascism has taken hold in the US.
- Comment on Russia is at war with Britain and US is no longer a reliable ally, UK adviser says 5 months ago:
829 days. Canada was there for 820 of those 829 days.
- Comment on Russia is at war with Britain and US is no longer a reliable ally, UK adviser says 5 months ago:
829 days.
- Comment on Russia is at war with Britain and US is no longer a reliable ally, UK adviser says 5 months ago:
For 829 days the US sat and watched.
- Comment on Russia is at war with Britain and US is no longer a reliable ally, UK adviser says 5 months ago:
Canada, 9 days.
US, 829 days.
For those 820 days the rest of the world, including Canada, was sending its young men to fight and die for freedom.
The US sat and watched.
- Comment on Russia is at war with Britain and US is no longer a reliable ally, UK adviser says 5 months ago:
Canada entered the was 9 days after it started. The US entered the war 820 days later.
Canada went and fought while the US sat and watched.
- Comment on Russia is at war with Britain and US is no longer a reliable ally, UK adviser says 5 months ago:
Cherry picked? 9 days versus 829 days. Cherry pick my ass.
- Comment on Russia is at war with Britain and US is no longer a reliable ally, UK adviser says 5 months ago:
Then why did it take 9 days?
- Comment on Russia is at war with Britain and US is no longer a reliable ally, UK adviser says 5 months ago:
Bombed into it.
- Comment on Russia is at war with Britain and US is no longer a reliable ally, UK adviser says 5 months ago:
Just a reminder that it took the US years to join the Second World War while the UK was pounded by the Nazis. Canada joined the war nine days after it began. Remember who your friends are. The US isn’t anyone’s friend but it’s own.

- Comment on Describe conservatives with one picture 7 months ago:
I was permanently banned from r/conservative for pointing out the letter that claimed that the DOJ had found evidence of basics voter fraud in Georgia that contradicted the Republican Governor, Republican Secretary of State, Republican States Attorney General, and Republican election officials as well as the Republican Attorney General, and the DOJ itself was written by a Trumpist shill.
I wish I could get flare for that.
Don’t speak truth intuitive the echo bunker.
