I believe it 100%.

I wonder if US/allies also have this technology and have also used it extrajudicially and don’t want to answer those questions.

Thanks for posting your photos. I had a nebelung cat like that who died a few years ago. Best cat I ever had. I miss him every day.

LOL Trump is telling Israel to hurry up (aka genocide harder). The nickname isn’t really appropriate for Biden given the global context.

I don’t disagree. I feel the Ntl post is positioning this according to their own narrative and agenda (PostMedia owners are ALSO elites as per that definition).

Their agenda being “Canada has it so bad right now, your only solution is to elect the other guy”

Unsaid:

• Rather than criticize the capitalist greed that got us here.
• We wouldn’t you to actually elect politicians who would change the status quo because that would be bad for us, a large corporation who benefits from existing corporate tax policies.
• And if you elect the same guy the RCMP is already predicting social unrest so we’re going to feed you photos of the Clownvoy to rewrite history to make it seem justified, as opposed to what it actually was - a multi-week frat party for needle-phobics.

I don’t really like the subtle rhetoric of this article.

Define elites.

Plus, why lend the money when you can circle back around and scoop up the assets for a bargain after he declares bankruptcy?

I love how the media slow walks this so hard and gives Israel every damn chance to back off.

CNN was interviewing a group of Israelis who want to colonize Palestine and I swear to god the host said “That sounds like ethnic cleansing” with a puzzled look on her face, waiting for some cogent response.

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck….

Jack Smith is only responsible for 2 out of 4 of those cases, if I recall correctly. Misleading headline.

It’s a lot of processed bread / carb products and very little protein.

They all are though, aren’t they? Gotta get rid of Citizens United for that to change. Newsom just seems like he could appeal broadly. I love Bernie and AOC but they’re way too lefty for the US electorate.

I like Gavin Newsom but that’s just my external perspective. Beto O’Rourke what happened to him? I liked him too.

It’s an interesting perspective that a primary would only hurt Biden. In a scenario where he dropped out do you think swing voters and Dems would happily pivot if they had already been presented with a good alternative or do you think they just wouldn’t vote or would vote R?

Listening to the Super Tuesday interviews with voters last night was nauseating. Comments like “I don’t want to vote for Trump so I’m backing Haley, but if it’s Trump Biden I’m not voting Biden.”

Or my favourite, “The economy was better under Trump.”

The economy is a lagging indicator - it turns slowly not on a dime. Do people not understand this? Obama worked to heal the mess left by the recession and Bush, chugged along, Trump elected - inherited the good economy left from the Obama years, Covid happened and messed everything up globally, Biden inherited THAT clusterfuck plus Ukraine plus Israel and it’s just starting to get back on its feet. Now these idiots are going to claim that it magically changes if the Republicans make it into office but that just doesn’t seem to be reality, again from an outside perspective.

It’s like in Canada - we’ve had our PM for several years now and they’re blaming economic factors on him that he has no control or jurisdiction over.

Even if Haley were to drop out and tell her delegates to support Trump, I don’t think the GOP would have issues rallying back to Haley if anything were to happen? Although Republicans also in shambles lately with infighting (Michigan Republican Party drama).

If Biden has to drop the Dems basically don’t have a campaign.

I think we’re saying the same thing but I don’t see Haley’s endorsement or lack thereof of the winning nominee as a roadblock for the GOP looping back around to her if they need to pivot quickly.

He’s very clearly already on meds.

Why does Biden seem slower? Not on go pills like Trump.

I think Trump is showing dementia.

Not American, just a rabid follower of US Politics.

I think Dems are at a tactical disadvantage having had no one primary Biden. If god forbid anything happens between now and election day they have no one that the public knows well as backup. I watched Kamala Harris speak at Selma on the weekend; I support her as the first woman in her role but I am incredibly skeptical of her ability in any way shape or form to carry a general election.

Now Republicans have solved that problem by having a clear backup: Nikki Haley. I see there are reports right now that she is dropping out. She is, however, a viable and well-known backup due to her tenacity in staying in the race. If the GOP needed to rally behind a new candidate the cutover to her would be smoother because she has stayed in the spotlight.

Here’s the thing too - there was an interview on the news in my country with an Israeli legal expert on sexual assault. She was pleased with the UN report investigating Hamas’ sexual assaults.

When asked if there would be a similar UN investigation for Palestinians, she said she didn’t see why the UN needed to because Palestine has its own agencies on the ground who can investigate.

Except the media also tells us not to believe anything UNWRA says because of Hamas involvement with UNWRA.

How is that fair? The Palestinian civilians are caught in an impossible trap.

Yeah because the US is the ally of my country. Geopolitically if you’re from a BRICS nation it’s not a concern. NATO and 5 eyes nations aren’t supportive of an ambitious China expanding influence and territory.

It is just common sense. Nations never do things for just one reason. Possession is 9/10ths of the law - if they fill Antarctica with their facilities they can later claim they have so many facilities they should just govern Antarctica. Not a bad strategic move in times of global warming.

IKEA’s too complex. Need crayons.

I LOVE this.

4 more years - seems like the start of the Trump forever dynasty if you let him back in.
