It never should have been active in the first place.

I have to wonder who is in charge of monitoring medical supply orders entering from China, and who's watching over businesses that have dozens of shell companies that are able to run bio weapons' manufacturing on foreign soil?

This is some scary shit.

Because of the seriousness of the crime, the judge said, Harris will not be released as he waits for a new trial, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. A new trial date has not been set.

This is a load of shit. A blind witness AND cop intimidation should automatically lead to being freed from jail until a new trial begins.

Justice my ass. Pfft.

ACAB

Why was he in jail if his previous charge was overturned?

American "justice" seems seems weird at best.

Dumb and Dumber.

That would have happened in 2016 if the DNC had played straight instead of fucking around.

So Biden et al. think that starving thousands to death is less brutal than pushing Netanyahu to sign a ceasefire is.

Yeah, whatever.

A lot of that came about because Mulroney left us in deep debt. In '93 the Liberals changed the transfer payment sharing from 50/50 fed/prov split to something far less ... and as you said nobody did anything to fix after.

Fairytale of New York will forever be one of my favourite Christmas songs.

I'll be lifting a jug to MacGowan on Dec 25.

On average in Canada about 60% of household income would be needed to cover home ownership costs, a figure that rises to about 98% for Vancouver and 80% for Toronto, RBC said in a September report.

Trudeau's utter failure to take housing costs into account is telling. He seems to have become blind to the needs of the people.

He may well lose the next election because of it ... and Canada will end up with a right-wing mess in Pierre Poilievre. :/

Then it's time to fire all Shawnee Mission East’s administrators.

Yup. It started back in the early '90s ffs. Kinda late to blame the Liberals for the whole shit show.

Wasn't that long ago Chrystia Freeland was supposed to take over the party leadership from Trudeau.

Too bad the old boys' network behind the scenes decided that wasn't good enough and kept JT at the helm ... and now the Libs pay the price for their stupidity.

Unfortunately the US gov't has always seemed to enjoy taking federal tax dollars (except income tax, which Puerto Ricans do not pay) from Puerto Rico without having to spend money to provide services.

Six years ago it was hit hard by huricane Maria and last year, while still recovering from that, it was hit by Fiona.

Experts say the island’s economic crisis is rooted in twentieth-century legislation that encouraged Puerto Rico’s reliance on debt to fill federal funding gaps. It did this by giving bond investors higher returns and loosening borrowing limits. Since 1917, lenders to Puerto Rico have been exempt from local, state, and federal taxes—the so-called triple tax exemption—effectively boosting their profits and making the island a more attractive investment. The territory’s constitution also allows Puerto Rico to balance its budget with its debt, among other provisions that facilitate borrowing.

The debt problem accelerated after 1996, when the U.S. government began phasing out Internal Revenue Code Section 936. This provision had allowed American businesses to operate tax-free in Puerto Rico, which critics viewed as a windfall for wealthy corporations. Section 936’s repeal triggered a deterioration of Puerto Rico’s manufacturing sector, and the territorial government increasingly turned to debt to cover its spending.

Non-paywall link.

Which describes almost every politician and political party on the earth rn.

And that fucking sucks for us.

... quite scary ... pipeline to transition ... dysphoria often desists ...

You worked really hard to throw every catch phrase possible into that.

It's telling that the first one is you're scared ... which is a poor motivator because it means you make important decisions based on falsehoods and fear-mongering.

Stop it.

Here's the link.

Political parties pandering to far-right, murderous Christians who mistakenly believe they're vastly different from any other murderous religious extremists.

Hint: they are not.

Too bad Alex Jones can't be sued for screaming this from the rooftops, leading to every gd nutcase jumping on the bandwagon.

Snopes for rebuttal.

Xitter has never been, and never will be, considered verifiable proof.

Care to try again, or just call it a day?
