There you go with that "both sides" again.

 

So it’s an either or option by the previous poster.  They can either vote the Canadian PM out or they can use their energy to call out racists.  
 

When did the Canadian protests become about race?  Why does everything come down to race even on issues that don’t involve race for you all?

Hopefully he is gone. Him supporting freezing trucker protester's bank accounts is authoritarian and should be completely rebuked by anyone that believes in the the right to protest and personal liberty. He is an enemy.

Agree here.

What the f*** do you expect a father to do if his door gets kicked in in the middle of the night and he’s got his two kids with him?

And as if 10 seconds in the middle of the night is ample time to get your mind right from a deep sleep and answer the door.   This stuff needs to stop

I bought a coffee maker for about $30. And I go through a $12 can of Folgers every month or so.  
 

Anyone saying they “need” Starbucks or any other shop needs to be slapped for being spoiled and stupid.

Anyone drinking Folgers from a $30 coffee maker might as well just drink motor oil and call it good.  Do yourself a favor and order Joe’s whole bean from NY.  You will thank me later.

There are a few diseases I’d be worried about as a hot blooded college kid living on campus. Covid would be low on the list. 

Ha, very good point.  Covid for my college freshmen son has never been a worry for me.   Other stuff…..definitely

My son's college made sure we all knew they weren't dropping the mask mandate anytime soon.  I know parents have asked what are the parameters of dropping it.

 

My son has worm a mask his entire college career.

 

They have to be vaccinated and boosted to be on campus.  Everybody.

 

The masks have to be an N95.

 

 

I don’t get the constant masking if they are vaccinated and boosted?   They are young, which puts them in the lowest risk category, add in the vaccine, and they a what.009% chance of dying?  Craziness

But, seriously?  Your using Starbucks as an example?  News flash, it’s a luxury. If you don’t like spending $6 on a cup of coffee, don’t. 
 

 

Robert is being loose with the numbers also by talking % profit increase.  He’s knows what he’s doing there.

Nope, it's a Vail Resorts policy.  Same thing with Alterra in places like Winter Park and Eldora.

Do you think these are places will keep that vaccination mandate in place for the foreseeable future (meaning 2-5 years).  I’ve been wondering this lately.  The science behind transmission most likely won’t change and many believe Covid will be an endemic disease much like the flu.   If places like these with a current vaccine mandate, they should never get rid of it as long as Covid is around to any extent.

The report details 10 instances of obstruction of Justice by the President, detailed how they cannot charge a sitting President, and outlined that it's up to Congress to charge him. 

 

The people in Trumps inner circle were charged with numerous crimes relating to obstruction. Including, but not limited to, lying to the FBI (classic obstruction), conspiracy to defraud the United States, witness tampering (the definition of obstruction), and others. 

 

I understand your drowing in the MAGAverse but c'mon. I'm not the one describing crimes; Robert Mueller is and he describes 10 instances of obstruction by the President. You're saying that nobody around him was charged for crimes relating to Obstruction when there are several. I mean, Roger Stone was charged with lying to Congress, witness tampering and obstructing an investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election!

 

 

 

No reason to get personal with your first sentence in the last paragraph.  
 

—please point me to the charge/conviction of someone close to the campaign for obstruction or collusion from the Mueller investigation.   Mueller had u limited resources and time and couldn’t find one.   Maybe you have more info than he does.  Would love to see it.

—Trump is no longer a sitting President, TNG is.  Why hasn’t the the DOJ charged Trump or those around him with Obstruction of Justice related to “Russia investigation”.

Depending on what side of the political spectrum the media was on they justified and downplayed the riots or played footage from them on a 24 hour cycle. I believe with the invocation of the emergency act, the truckers bank accounts are being seized among other things, so no more kid gloves. It will be interesting how this plays out in public opinion. Maybe the truckers should have just walked off the job after the first few days of protest, instead. A strike instead of a blockade. Reagan had a similar issue with air traffic controllers. I think he ordered them back or replaced them. I don’t remember whether the controllers ultimately negotiated better deals. In this case, the truckers aren’t looking for money, but to remove mandates. I think many of the protesting truckers are actually vaccinated, too. 

I’m with you on this.  I don’t agree with protests when they block roads and infringe upon other peoples ability to go about their daily lives.  Strike would have been a better option

I don’t understand what the natural immunity bill is supposed to do based on that clip.  Neither natural immunity nor Covid vaccine really prevents people from getting infected again 100% of the time.  Seems like both of these people don’t know what they are talking about based on this clip alone.

Charges were brought against George Paladopoulos, Foreign Policy advisor to Trump's Presidential campaign, for lying to the FBI about his timing and significance of his contacts concerning U.S.-Russia relations and the Trump campaign.  He pleaded guilty. Did he coordinate with Russia to attack Hillary? No. Did he know about it and have extremely shady relations with Russia? Absolutely.  
 

He plead guilty to lying.  There were no pleadings or convictions of coordination with Russia or conspiracy with Russia.  

 

Paul Manafort, chairman of the Trump campaign, was charged with numerous counts including Conspiracy to defraud the United States (this guy is a real winner!). His charges stemmed from his consulting work with pro-Russian forces in Ukraine. Did he coordinate with Russia to attack Hillary? No. Did he know about it and have extremely shady relations with Russia? Absolutely. 

He plead guilty to Pre-Mueller/Pre-Trump campaign activity.  Is he scummy, it sure sounds like it.  Did he know about any Russia meddling in real time?  Not sure because you didn’t show any proof.  Did he illegally coordinate with Russia on that if so?  Well, I don’t remember any charges that led to a conviction so I would say no.  

 

Michael Flynn set a record for shortest stint as National Security advisor to the President. He resigned after he misled VP Pence about his communications with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak. Did he coordinate with Russia to attack Hillary? No. Did he know about it and have extremely shady relations with Russia? Absolutely. 
 

Do you have proof to show this statement above is true?  

 

The Mueller report found 10 instances where Trump obstructed Justice, and left out up to Congress to charge him, as you cannot charge a sitting President. They did so, knowing that Republicans in the Senate would never convict him. The Republican party chose to protect itself rather than vote to convict Trump on obstruction, which the report more than confirms.

Why was NOT A SINGLE person around Trump charged/convicted for what you are alleging?  It would be impossible for only Trump to be involved, yet no one else was charged?  Isn’t that telling to you?

Honestly, all of these people are real pieces of s#!t. I have no idea how you or anybody else voted for this a second time. These people are extremely self-serving and would sell out this country in a blink if it personally benefited them, as evidenced by the charges and guilty pleasure brought against them. 

@B.B. Hemingway according to a Canadian Newspaper, it seems like more than just “white truckers”

One myth that was busted right away was the striking diversity of the protestors starting with the two main organizers, Benjamin Dichter, who is Jewish and Tamara Lich, who is Metis. Far from being a uniformly disgruntled group of white Canadians, not that there is anything wrong with being that, one saw Indo-Canadians, Arab Canadians, Chinese Canadians, Black Canadians and just about every other ethnic Canadian under the sun.

That's a great point knapplc. This is the kind of stuff is where the church just... completely loses me. Some leaders/denominations get so caught up in order and tradition that they'll act like an arbiter or judge of God's will, as if they have the place to do so anyways.

 

If Baptism is supposed to be the cleansing of sin that comes from faith in Jesus, do they really think that messing up a word as part of the entire symbolic process is going to make Jesus say "GOTCHA!! NO FORGIVENESS FOR YOU SUCKER."

This is the kinda stuff that makes many people feel the same way as you about the bureaucracy of The Church and drives them away from what the messages of the church ought to be.  It’s a shame and doesn’t seem to be getting much better.  They need to get back to focusing on what Church can mean for the individual instead of conforming everyone into rigid process and no insightful soul searching that leads to better humanity

Is this a trend?  Companies are warning consumers that inflation will force them to increase prices on their goods, perhaps as much as 20% on things we regard as staples.

 

So intrepid financial analysts go back and find out these same companies have registered record profits, and rewarded their executives with handsome stock buybacks. 

 

Is it possible that the business class would jump on the inflation bandwagon, using it as cover to make even larger profits on the back of American consumers who can least afford it?

 

https://bringmethenews.com/minnesota-business/fresh-off-3-1b-profits-report-says-general-mills-set-to-increase-grocery-prices

Unfortunately, I could see companies try and slide in extra price increases in the wake of this inflation crises.  Similar to the bag fees, etc than airlines have instituted in the wake and any “crises” they seem to run across.  Bringing these things to light are good so the consumer can fight back with their wallet when appropriate.

And no one equates the word America in MAGA with South America.  In reality, when the word America is spoken in any context, it’s almost universally spoken about in context of the United States.  Thanks for playing along though.
