    And the big scandal is apparently that Joe Biden is a caring father to his son. I can see why Trump thinks that's bad, but to normal people it only makes Biden look better.

    2016 Hillary Clinton being unpopular and a general "how bad can he really be?" for Trump and no wonder people stayed home. Now they have seen how bad Trump can be and people are like "holy ****, we gotta get rid of this guy" So yeah, always expected a big turnout. People love to toss unpopular governments out on their asses.

    This is exactly what I tried to tell colin earlier in the thread. Under the guise of being impartial media has gone too far in normalizing abhorrent behavior on the right and making minor things on the left seem as bad. True unbiased news would be brutal to the right, but it appears bias because of how awful Republicans are.

    The real take away there is even mentioning a possible loss. That to me screams that he knows he is losing.

    We paid 2 dollars to see a matinee at the cheap theatre and i wanted my money back.

    General rule of thumb is that big turnouts for elections mean voters are unhappy and want change.
  7. Some of those early seasons are really uneven. Few years ago I did the same, had seen most of the episode but not every single one. Was a fun watch though. I did the same for TNG and honestly I found there were more bad TNG episodes than DS9.

    This is the problem with people these days. There is so much information out there, you can always dig until you find something that says what you want it to say. And lots of people think that means they're more informed because they have looked so hard to find it. But here is the thing with mainstream media... Any credible news source is going to fact check and check sources and they won't go out there with anything that isn't reliable. There is journalistic integrity still (as much as it's been eroded). What the right hates is that reality is not as right wing as they want it to be so they pretend that it's just biased for the left.

    Hunter Biden again, it was a nothing burger before and it's still a nothing burger. Do some reading about this whole "scandal" and it quickly falls apart as nothing more than an attempt to give this things any kind of life. And why is Trump trying to hammer Biden on nepotism when his kids and their idiot spouses have jobs in the administration? When they can't even qualify for security clearances?

    It was all nerd stuff. Don't worry there will be enough explosions and fist fights and quips to be the same kind of movies. They may be crappy movies, but you gotta respect Sandler for basically admitting that he just takes his friends on vacation and makes a movie. Living the life.

    Alternate dimensions dont count! Seriously what is hard to get? It is still a cartoon movie. Dont take it too seriously.

    Hilarious that conservatives think they are based on rationality. The reality is thst modern conservativism (excepting the evangelical part) is based on pure unadulterated greed
  14. My precious NDP? Come off it. I have never in my life voted NDP anywhere. I simply don't subscribe to the team mentality some people do. The UCP were always going to attack education and healthcare becausr they are republican north. And rachel notley did some good things for this province at a time when itnwas needed. But people like you just thought that a change in government would make oil boom again so you didn't bother to do any critical thinking about the election. Why would you ever trust Jason Kenney? The man cheated his own party to become leader! What did you think he was going to do to the rest of us?

    Implying that obama was bad? What is that based on? Look Bush and Trump have been absolute disasters as president. Obama did a lot of work to try and fix the messes Bush left hiwever he had ti deal with an obstructionist republican controlled senate for a lot of that. Obama tried to work with the other side and they only wanted to stonewall him.
  16. It is all in there. Or did you think administrative bloat was actually true? Plus you had to look at what they said and how they acted outside if just what they wrote in their platform. You voted for the leopards eating faces party and are now surprised they sre eating your face.

    And which misinformation are you referring to?

    No I dont think democrats want the court to strike down the 2nd amendment at all. That is whataboutism. Both sides are not the same and trying to imply that is just being willfully ignorant. Roe v. Wade wasn't the court making a new law, it was about saying that laws that restrict a womans rights were unconstitutional, and it struck down laws that infringed upon those rights. That is what the court is supposed to do. Uphold the constitution. Just because the minority that is the right wing don't like people having rights doesnt mean they are right. There are far more progressives than there are regressives, but the regressives have gerrymandered their way into having a disproportional amount of power. That isn't even getting into these nonsensical originalists who want to interpret the constitution as it was when it was written. The writers knew that it needed to be a living document that evolved with the times. That is why there was a process for amending it.

    More whataboutism... and of course it is wrong. Change to a simple majority was done in response to republican shenanigans. And your drivel about republicans not wanting judges to create laws while democrats want them to create laws is hogwash anyway. Republicans want judges who will strike down laws they don't like plain and simple. Democrats want judges who will rule on laws with impartiality, as it is supposed to be. The right wants to take away rights and it is the courts who are supposed to prevent that. Which is why republicans are desperate to appoint judges who dont believe in these rights.

    Ok, but what makes this lady a candidate that the republicans are so desperate to seat other than her politics? You want politics out of the process? I completely agree however this candidate is 100% a political one so stop trying to pretend it is the democrats injecting politics into it. It is all on the republicans (specifically Trump who nominated her)

    It always amazes me the way that people are always having to explain what Trump actually meant to say and still praise him for telling it like it is. Conservatives in a nutshell really. They hate when the quiet part is said out loud.

    It isn't only vaccines though. It is also better treatments. That was a big part of the initial reason for a lock down. Learn about the virus and how to better treat it.
  23. Jason Kenney and his doofus health minister are just out to **** everything up in the worst way possible. I lost so much respect for 70% of this province for voting for a guy who told everyone he was going to do this crap once elected. Leopards ate my face!

    When it comes to Trump, someone else is always paying. He doesn't pay his own bills ever.

    It is because some people want to live in a black and white world and can't grasp the nuance that exists in nearly everything.
