Trump targeted Democrats over questionable online fundraising. His campaign has similar issues

  • On the day of the shooting, Armstrong’s mother had called police pleading for help, saying her son was suffering a mental health crisis. A standoff ensued as Armstrong stood on the porch of his mother’s home in the Model City neighborhood near Liberty City, facing at least a half-dozen officers with guns drawn.

    A video that captured the events showed police shot him twice with a Taser to subdue him, and he fell off the porch and toward the officers. Officer Mercado then opened fire.

    These cops are the dumbest fucks to ever have lived.

    ACAB.

  • Why not? I mean not everyone has the leadership abilities to become a Che Guevara, but we should all learn what we can to help each other survive.

    Remind people to purchase enough canned food and bottled water to last 3-4 weeks, train others on how to operate drones, take courses to learn how to be a medic, etc etc.

    There's all kinds of training that can come from military training that could help us all. It's never been just about shooting a gun.

  • Most Canadians understand that, but it doesn't negate the fact the many of us can (and should) be trained in sabotage, guerilla tactics and insurgency strategies that could help fight against a US/China/Russia invasion.

  • I'm not sure you've thought this through.

    If we decide to not plan for war and Trump chooses to invade, there will be a war whether we like it or not. And to be clear we won't like it at all.

    I agree that preparing our military doesn't have to lead us down the same road the US has chosen (almost endless wars). But we should be recruiting and training people for our military forces in case they are needed -- whether it's for peacekeeping or self-preservation.

  • Considering the state of the world, I wouldn't be against mandatory military service.

    Just to be clear, the reason new recruits are leaving is because of the following (from the article) ...

    The reason new members are quitting: Training delays and difficulty adjusting to military life.

    In some cases, recruits are waiting over 206 days for training — notably in specialized trades.

    "There are insufficient trainers, equipment, training facilities and other supports to meet training targets effectively," said the report, written in April 2025.

    "This leads to delays which significantly frustrate [new] members, who often face months of underemployment."

  • Thing is if the NL gov't had thought this was important they would have made sure IT staff was available. By not doing so, and with 27 unclaimed bodies (???) in storage, they've made it clear the announcement was made simply to appease the rabble.

    Gov'ts MUST be held accountable in all things.

  • Driving east from Thunder Bay, once you hit Wawa, ON and head south you're right on the shoreline for a bit, and it's fucking amazing.

    First time I drove that I just wanted to pull over and take some pics but there's nowhere to stop.

  • It's funny how I can understand how capitalism has warped our understanding of work, where putting my life, my mental health and/or the lives of others on the line is accepted practice?

    Not at all. It just takes some reading and understanding of history.

  • No. It's saying that the person who stayed behind to do their job (like a hero would do) should have just walked out the door ... because if there had been any plane crashes (that killed passengers) that person would have been blamed for them.
