The Great Debate
- Thread starter Big Rig
- Start date
Americans for their credit live in 1 giant bubble...Canadians for their credit woke up and see what damage a left leaning gov't can do...
Tories (43%) Hold a Steady 19-Point Lead over Liberals (24%), as a Third of Canadians Say They Would Never Vote Liberal in the Next Election
I really wanted Kamala to win just to tell you what a bad idea it's going to be... because If Justin is doing bad...wait what Kamala can do...
A few perfunctory considerations
-no significant change in polls post debate
-But a huge boost in donations to Harris resulted post debate
-Harris had bomdarded Mar-a-Lago area with ads
on Fox hoping Trump would view them pre debate
-More Republican leaders have defected to Harris side post debate
-Trump threw Vance under the bus when he
denied he told him he would sign abortion ban bill if it came to his desk
during debate
-Vance is going to get blamed for a lot of stuff

I put this question to another member on another thread who hasn't answered.
What decision of President Trump's regarding Russia do you believe was inappropriate? These "Trump is in Putin's pocket" declarations must manifest themselves in some type of favor.
As far as confirmation, I fear you are just repeating political rhetoric that has you disoriented from overexposure.

I think if Kamala Harris is elected, she will have to deal with a Republican Senate at a minimum. It's looking like the Democrats' hope of holding Montana is slipping away. Interestingly, Jon Tester the Democratic Senator from Montana has not endorsed Kamala Harris. A Democratic Senator not endorsing the party's Presidential candidate is just one of those things that makes our system different.
Anyway, the U.S. tends to still thrive when both parties have a share of power. You will hear a lot of teeth-gnashing and fear-mongering about this budget and that budget. Kamala wants to do this and that. It's the end of America if she can't.

I think this is a heavily skewed and limited interpretation of what is happening with German energy.
The one thing I know of the Continental European governments is that they do not like criticism from the U.S. and will not be forthright about what is happening. Hey, they're politicians too. They're not holy men.
Publicly hesitating to provide Ukraine with weapons to defend themselves against further Russian invasions. And using this to try to extort Ukraine into launching an investigation into Biden's son. Never mind, not being righteous and strong enough to increase sanctions against Russia for their continued illegal occupation of Ukraine.
As for some sort of favour... Putin, through HIS banks and oligarchs, have been the leading financier and purchaser of money laundering Trump condo sales to Russians. Trump is financially betrothen to Putin.
Agreed, the war in Ukraine will probably not be debated much in Canada, but there are some right-wingers who echo the US (and Russian financed) views that we should let Ukraine wither on the vine.
As for Trump....I doubt he'd do much to stop Putin. He'd probably put the screws to Ukraine and tell them to give into Russia. I mean, Trump did nothing to address the border battles that were going on since 2014. And, I think only true believers in the Donald would think Putin wouldn't have tried something with Trump as president....
The only entity truly fighting Russia is the Toronto Film Festival execs who have now banned the showing of one of the movies about Russian soldiers in the war with Ukraine for fear of violence.
Take that Russia! https://tiff.net/tiff-statement-regarding-the-canadian-documentary-russians-at-war
Ironically, part of the funding for the movie came from the Canadian government, ie our tax dollars.
btw I'm wondering when the feds here will introduce a new Russia/Ukraine War tax? Hmmmmm....
That's quite a bit of wishful, revisionist history.
Obama was President in 2014 when Russia took the Crimea and began the border battles in the East.
The problem is that delaying the delivery of weapons is not really a decision. As you say, it was merely a hesitation.
Lethal weapon systems were sent to the Ukraine under Trump, but denied under Obama. I would not make too much of that other than to say it disproves the notion that the Trump Administration did not support the Ukraine's military capabilities.
Yes! And now it's also a war on people trying to afford things!
This started because I am telling you there is no codified standard for a 24 week abortion limitation. U.S. Courts do not codify laws.
That's part of the debate.
As far as what people say this current Justice said or didn't say about Roe, there's lots of videos of their hearings particularly discussions about Roe. No offense, but we don't need anyone to tell us what the Justices said in their confirmation hearings.
In general, all justices say something to the effect that they respect stare decisis ("to stand by things decided"). The practical reality is the Supreme Court throughout two plus centuries have overturned decisions. It's not unusual or a violation of some code. No Supreme Court nominee absolutely commits to stare decisis in every case.
