The thumbnail for that video looks exactly like what I expect a 500 year old anything to look like.

He spent nearly half his life in government as an elected official. He has been involved in politics since he was 21, and was in university before that. He is literally a career politician.

The rich people won't have any better coverage, either. I know someone who had his daughter flown to the Mayo Clinic for mono. Yes, her case was very bad, yes, they were Canadian, no, that's not an option that is available to the majority of us, and no, being part of America won't appreciably improve their options more than that.

Might doesn't make right, no, but what exactly do you think rule of law is when it doesn't represent the will or the welfare of the people? The people you're complaining about carried signs and disrupted traffic. The people who stopped them were armed and had the force of the law behind their actions.

Sorry, sorry. I didn't read the username, but I still think the content of the post is worthwhile, if not the emotional tone, so I'll leave it there.

That's correct. You were the one talking about criminals in jail, which would be reserved for minor crimes/sentences or people awaiting trial (not that that precludes violence from other inmates). So which are you talking about?

The one thing I'm fairly certain of with women is they are never just "fine". And if they say they're "fine", they most definitely are not.

So harming criminals is okay, got it. Shall we reinstate the age-old tradition of cutting off thieves' hands? And you haven't even addressed the difference between being charged with a crime and being convicted, both of which can land you in jail.

If his being too old to govern was the only problem, I'd be a lot happier.

I was going to post that you didn't seem like you were trying very hard, on day 189, then I open the post and you prove me wrong.

Well, about half the states have one, so that is no guarantee, either.

I used to never understand my dad. Some tiny thing would happen and he would blow up. "How could you do something so stupid?" "All you had to do was this one little thing, and you blew it!" But something big would happen and he would shrug and say, " Well, these things happen. At least everyone's okay."

Now that I'm older, I get it. Some things are so simple, there just isn't an excuse to fuck them up. And when people do fuck it up, it's mind blowing, because all you had to do was not fuck it up. Like a fucking Nazi salute. And if these guys are going to do something so stupid and easy to avoid as a Nazi salute, do you really think they have the capacity to understand the implications of the big things they're trying to do, or see the ramifications of the tough choices ahead of them?

Do you think Adolf Hitler figured he'd be dead by his own hand within a decade of Kristallnacht?

You think they won't dismiss more obvious things? Feel free to review Trump's quote from after Khashoggi was murdered, which boils down to, "Sure, they may have killed him, but do you realize how much money they're spending here?" That got barely a mutter. Just how much do you think it will take to get Americans upset with what he does?

I think Trump is the kind of person who thinks the world is better off ending with him than going on without him. Nothing matters if he isn't there to enjoy it; the true heart of narcissism.

Note the title. "Oh, they're not proper Nazis, they're just trying to be proper Nazis."

Ah, I got you now. At least that's consistent.

The fact that one would be more fun than the other implies that equality (on that front) isn't in the cards.

I'm seeing a net debt of about $400 hanging over you guys after all is said and done. I don't think anyone is clamoring for that money to be paid back, but I'd be happier if you guys didn't have to worry about it. I'll send some money for that reason, as well as all the good work you all do in supporting and maintaining this. Thank you.

The spread is already down to 11 points. Hopefully the choices the Liberals and other parties make can narrow this further.
