rederict.. He was president for four years and did we die? Nope, Shit in all reality the world was a safe place when he was president and ever since Biden has been in office the entire world has been a shit show.
Didn't the US have the highest death toll per capita of any G20 country during Covid?
But yeah that's pretty chill I guess.
Mass shootings were pretty mellow too right?

When the best thing you can say about someone's term as President is "At least we didn't die" that's not saying much.

Good insight - do you think anyone would join him?
I wonder who the VP will be.
Will his kids risk and serve daddy again.
Of course there will always be the crazies to help and wlak along side; from his 1st term, a lot of the lawyers / advisors were arrested for all sort of things.. you think he'll have a harder to time to find people for him to pick?

trump is friendly with putin, if he was in power right now would the US even be sending aid? another few thousand dead ukrainians and russia will march their troops into the next former soviet non nato country, no big deal right?

My GF is American and we were just talking about this last night. Like, no matter what data is available or real world experience is being felt, people down there almost unequivocally think the Republican party is better at economics than the Democratic party. You literally cannot convince them otherwise, it could triple under Biden and he'd get no credit, but if it went down even .1% it would be "SEE! Democrats are poison to our $"

It's actually some kind of form of crazy.

For the top 1% wealthy the GOP is definitely better for them. What's sad is all the plebs who are very much negatively affected by their fiscal policies continue to support them. Many are willing to accept it because they'll fight for women's non-rights. Others are still waiting for that trickle down to happen.

LOL~ I wonder what was going through his head as he was saying those lines. He expression certain didn't seem like his normal conceited self.

Now that wasn't so hard to swallow your pride, huh, Mr. (ex) President?

From grifting to begging.. I guess that's a step up in terms of morals?

I wonder if the Republicans will always feel like they have to nominate insane candidates like Trump or DeSantis from now on, or will they become a bit more moderate if this election completely fails?

Who was that candidate who pulled out like a week ago? A woman I think.. was she insane too?

They aren't facing consequences for the implosion though. They are legitimately gaining support the bigger trainwreck they are.

Well donalds daughter in law is now co-chair of the republican national party. All the money the party will go straight to donald. They are going to have no money for down ballot candidates. The party will go bankrupt.

I think the problem is that the US has systematically crafted each generation to be more retarded than the its predecessor.

Spoiler!


But anytime Biden can find his way off stage is definitely a victory!

Why do you think republicans always attack the education system? The more educated a person is the more likely they are to vote democrat.

You can travel, you can live here and live with your choices. Sure - you can look this all up if you choose to educate yourself, cuz commie Trudeau and Jackmeat have their cencorship bills in place not to enable freedom of expression on social media. Nod your head. Look it up. But, violent crime is on a substantial rise, highest it has been in in 30 years since Trudeau reversed mandatory sentences one week after banning guns and lightening sentences on gun smugglers, weeks after coming to office and reversing mandatory sentences for criminals.

But hey - it doesn't effect you till it does, right? Maybe that criminal kills your wife but some website says it's safe. You go. facts are there - our government is failing us, Trudeau is the joke on the Internalional front, yet you bravado up online and supprt this failure. All of you, congrats on the new carbon tax April 1st - you wanted thism you voted for it.

New report the other day - average house in Canada is $750k and the top 10% of earners cannot qualify for a house with $100k deposit. But Sock Puppet said this wouldn't happen....but but but Climate Change. Now we're all fucked.

One line is Canada one line is the US.



The chances of being shot by a random stranger in Canada are very low.

Also isn't the US trying block tiktoc and porn sites. What about all the book bans? Didn't elon just cancel Don Lemons show on twitter because he asked him some tough questions.

The US isn't banning Tik Tok, they're banning ByteDance.

Tik Tok can remain in the US if ByteDance sells off their controlling shares.

If you were paying any attention at all, you'd know westopher doesn't like Trudeau.

And which thing is going to kill me tomorrow? Guns? Violence? Censorship? Zombies? I'd hate to live in your head, hope your bunker has air-conditioning bro! Canada ain't perfect, but as the FACTUAL charts posted here show, it's way better than almost any other place.

It's always so weird when zedbra chimes in about how dangerous Canada is under Trudeau while pumping up the trump admin that has * checks notes * 3x higher homicide rate per capita.
And yeah, do me a favour, don't talk about bad things happening to my wife in this conversation.
I've never once mentioned your family in a negative light so I expect the same. Fucking grow up.

was talking to gen z, they have no idea who Harper is and can only say trudeau is weird.

having siad that.. when i was in my 20s, i didnt know jack. When I was in my 30, i sort of knew what the gov't is doing, it wasn't until my 40s to understand how to read between the lines.

News article today in the sun - Trudeau can lose but still remain PM.
Loses election, but because majority support from NDP + Lib, he can still ask.

"Trudeau goes to the Governor General and advises her that he has the support of the House and therefore should remain prime minister. Bowing to longstanding constitutional convention, the Governor General agrees."

Highly unlikely but it's a good angle.

1) he just wants to netflix and chill
2) he is staying there cause the party doesnt' support him resigning yet
3) he needs to endorse someone but has to wait for party to nominate someone.

Trudeau is just a normal person stuck in politics... i don't blame him at all.
