It's funny to see that Fox is busy prepping for its place in the new reality by.... firing the guy who correctly called Arizona for Biden and (probably) promoting a woman who was a leading cheerleader for the fake electoral fraud story. It's like they've decided they don't need to face up to any of their failings if they just pretend the election didn't happen. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ted Cruz was cornered in the GOP kitchen area by a GOP supporter where they discussed the Paris agreement.. The GOP kitchen is just off the Senate swimming pool thats why they have their trunks on.

wmw999 2,116 #31 January 21, 2021 Airdvr, a lot of folks see those as good things to rejoin, although I've heard some pushback on Keystone in a couple of arenas. We are the richest and most technologically advanced country. We have to be at the forefront if we want to continue that way. The Iran deal is coming, too. Before saying that we should stay the heck out of the rest of the world, remember Iraq, remember our dependence on China for goods, on plenty of countries for food to satisfy our desire for cheap variety. Those are two things -- there are lots of other ways in which we mesh with the rest of the world. We need to accept that and manage it. Not manage it like a family scoundrel you pay to stay away, but instead like a family business you're passionate about. Wendy P. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just don't believe for a single second that airdvr is open to an alternative world view. He was just saying, "see, I told you so" to himself and his like believers. He must, otherwise he'd need to admit his positions were both extreme and extremely wrong. That's just the way it is. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canada has been getting tough on fascists for a while. This week MP(member of the Canadian Parliament) Derek Sloan a member of the conservative cabinet was booted out. He accepted a donation from a "white nationalist"."During his 15 months as an MP, Sloan has faced accusations he's racist, drawn condemnation for his views on LGBTQ rights and for his anti-abortion stance" Paul Fromm — whose ties to white supremacist and neo-Nazi causes have long been documented — had contributed $131 (that would be $103.60 in real US bucks)to Sloan's leadership campaign. Derek Sloan should be headed stateside shortly to join his GOP brother Mr. Cruz. Edited January 22, 2021 by Phil1111 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

America sent all its draft dodgers to Canada.and Ron, Brent, etc. were all happy with that.Then the US cancelled the XL pipeline. So Canada has decided to retaliate by exporting all its fascists to the US. As far as Princeton and Harvard goes. Everyone knows that joining the GOP is like getting a lobotomy.

Why are we giving money to Stanford to research particle physics if they spend their time interpreting for foreigners? Too bad they don't care about Copper Mountain as much as they care about Copenhagen. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
