You really must hate yourself to keep voting conservative - everytime you are distracted they kick your ass

 Remember how Doug "The Fraud" Ford and Ontario Proud chanted lies about the Wynne government and how THEY would lower your hydro bill by 12%.

Remember how you idiots believed him when he said he would fire the CEO and reduce costs.
Remember how you slammed me when I spoke out against his bullshit - well guess what - we'll all be eating less this winter because of you.

Trump’s Probe Into ‘Unmasking’ Conspiracy Ends With No Wrongdoing Found: Report


A federal investigation meant to target Obama administration officials for “unmasking” the names of individuals in classified intelligence reports ended recently without finding any wrongdoing that the Trump administration could use as political ammunition, The Washington Post reported Tuesday.

Attorney General William Barr appointed Texas U.S. Attorney John Bash in May to look into the unmasking requests from late 2016 and early 2017, which involved intercepted conversations between Michael Flynn — President Donald Trump’s former national security adviser — and Russia’s ambassador to the U.S. during the 2016 election.

The “unmasking” of names in classified documents is a common, legal practice that allows government officials with proper security clearance to better understand what they’re reading, the Post noted. During the Flynn unmasking, the list of Obama officials involved included Vice President Joe Biden, FBI Director James Comey and director of national intelligence James Clapper.

But Trump has attacked the practice as a conspiracy to undermine his administration.

“No one has ever been criminally prosecuted for unmasking,” Ned Price, a former CIA analyst who worked in the Obama administration, told Reuters at the time of Barr’s announcement. “That would be tantamount to pursuing criminal charges against an intelligence analyst for merely doing his job.”

The Electoral College - A rude awakening

 

Everyone, the media included, is concentrating on the popular vote however in America the populare vote only elects congress and senate representatives and NOT the President.
The President is elected by the Electoral College thereby muting the voice opf the people.
Each state nominates 2 people to the Electoral College for each representative, Senator and Congressman, to the college. There are a combined 538 sitting representatives in the Senate and House giving 1078 nominees the responsibility of electing the President of the United States of America.
We saw in the last election the irrelevance of the popular vote what with the red states outnumbering the blue states. It also provides a greater opportunity to convince a majority of the nominees through enticement, intimidation or corruption. Once sworn in the President can then silence any investigation. Once again we have witnessed how that works in America.
At this point I hope I am wrong but after Trumps campaign came out and said they would concentrate on the Electoral College I won't be holding my breath.

He supports racists

 ‘Unfit’ documentary examines psychology of Trump


Like the self-explanatory poster that declares “Russell Crowe is ‘Unhinged,’” the new documentary “Unfit: The Psychology of Donald Trump” sounds like it might be a funny look at the controversial guy in the White House.

Not so, says producer-director Dan Partland, 50. “We were very aware making this film that a lot of people saw Trump’s antics as odd, unusual, out of line, outrageous even but not scary.

“What we tried to show was while that may be attractive, what’s underlying it is really deadly serious.”

“Unfit” took wing in 2018 when, the two-time Emmy winner said from L.A. last week, “Many of us were inundated with news coverage. There was a different scandal day to day but a sameness.”

Partland used a Kickstarter campaign (“We knew it would not be funded from ordinary sources”) and he went into production at the start of 2019.

“We started reading anything we could find that was published on Trump psychology.

“What the mental health pros had to share was jaw dropping. We tried to further discuss the issue with people who had first-hand dealings with Trump. One was Rick Reilly, who has known him for over 30 years.”

Reilly has written about Trump the golfer and he’s scathing onscreen, saying, “Cheating in golf reveals your character. He cheats all the time! He tells people he’s won club championships when he never played. He cheated playing with Tiger Woods!”

Thanks Ivan

A once proud and prosperous country now run by a vile and evil villan

 There is no art in this White House.

There is no literature or poetry, no music.
No Kennedy Center award celebrations.
No books except the ones that were there years before. There are no pets in this White House. No loyal man’s best friend. No Socks the family cat. No times when this president takes off his blue suit-red tie uniform and becomes human, except when he puts on his white shirt-khaki pants uniform to play golf. There are no images of the first family enjoying themselves together in a moment of relaxation.
No Obamas on the beach in Hawaii moments, no Bushes fishing in Kennebunkport, no Reagans on horseback, no Kennedys playing touch football on the Cape. Where did that country go? Where did all of the fun and joy and expressions of love and happiness go?
We used to have a president that calmed and soothed the nation instead of dividing it.
We used to have presidents that smiled a lot and used to joke a bit during press conferences. And a First Lady that planted a garden instead of ripping one out. A First Lady who lived in the same house with the president.
It is truly a house divided; a house without joy, without laughter… a dark, unhappy house of anger and vengeance. We are rudderless and joyless. We have lost the cultural aspects of society that made America great. We have lost our mojo. Our fun, our happiness. The cheering on of others. The shared experiences of humanity that makes it all worth it. The challenges and the triumphs that we shared and celebrated. The unique can-do spirit Americans have always been known for. We have lost so much in such a short time. We are lost.

The CPC: Callous and Shallow

 It's that republican influence that has guided the conservatives since Harper came on the scene. They give us symbolism without substance while turning a blind eye to racism giving their base someone to look down on while the party preaches the virtues of budgetary restraint leaving the less fortunate and disabled to suffer. We are in the midst of a historic pandemic and facing a second wave and all they worry about is the deficit and a redesigned logo with an armed forces influence..................

No, the Liberals actually did implement childcare in 2006 and had agreements with all of the provinces. Then the NDP brought down the government down, and the Conservatives disbanded it a year later. #PnPCB

Physical restraint - what is it?

 Prior to the speech from the throne the Conservative Party of Canada were calling for "physical restraint" in the new budget.

What does that mean to a conservative? Reducing spending. making cuts to essential services, reducing spending to the needy and the handicapped.

But beyond that it means increasing spending top corporations.... why? Because conservatives are indebted to the corporate world, they are corporate managed. It is never about saving the voter money it is all about feeding the rich.

We watched the actions of premiers in Alberta and Ontario in the past as they attempted to destroy medicare, long term care homes and the sell off of asseys. We watched as Stephen Harper tried to futher destroy medicare and transfer payments to the Provinces.

That is physical restraint, that is neo-liberalism.

But worse than tightening spending the conservative movement of today wants to, at least are trying to lower the education standards and intellectual level of citizens THAT in it self should tell you how inept they are to think education equals IQ when in fact the intellectual quotient is NOT a function of education.

The Grand Old Party: from comassionate to pure evil in 136 years.

 


Yes America this was the start of the GOP compassionate and caring and then came neo-liberalism and the decline of civility, honesty and compassion for their fellow American.

Today, under Donald Trump's corrupt guidance, the GOP turns a blind and evil eye allowing abuses of Justice, murder in the streets, innocent children to be caged, women sterilized against their will, abuse of gays and visible minorities and so on..

The country is out of control and it's government, those elected to protect society have abandoned the people in favour of corporations, the wealthy and debauchery.... the swamp Trump promised to empty is now overflowing with the evil and vile conservative with a dash of evangelical thrown in to add some spice.

Yup they support their own misery through their ignorance

When you are an asshole like Doug Ford is you screw the public where they can't see it coming - behind closed doors

 

Ford’s public long-term care inquiry turns out to be private in back rooms


So much for Premier Doug Ford’s promise that a government-appointed commission looking into COVID-19’s devastating impact in long term care homes would be as good as, and quicker, than an actual public inquiry.

“There will be public hearings,” Ford pledged. “They will call witnesses.”

Ford’s long term care minister, Dr. Merrilee Fullerton, repeatedly assured the families of more than 1,850 LTC residents and eight staff who died from the coronavirus that the commission would hold public hearings, that their voices would be heard.
