I said much the same thing about that loudmouth muslim guy who used his dead son to make political attacks against Trump during the election.

Yeah, everybody knows

Normal well organized administrations don’t, but Trump likes to be spontaneous and crude and thinks he sounds like a real person.

What do you mean "us" paleface?

Just to state the blindingly ovious: The US is a very powerful country. Therefore, the consequences of a US election affects most of the world. Therefore, any of us in any country can argue that Trump's election was a "catastrophe [that] fell upon us".

You seem to know and care a hell of a lot more about what is going on here than in Canada. What's the problem? No sufficiently noble leftwing crusades to lead up there?

Again, to state the fairly blindingly obvious: Canada isn't quite as consequential a country as the US. Therefore, there is somewhat less of a rationale for arguing at length about the strengths and flaws of its government. There would also likely be somewhat less of an interested audience for arguments about Canadian politics on this mostly-American site (though I'd read them). Last but not least, as a rather milquetoast middle of the road politician, Trudeau isn't exactly providing as much reason for any kind of "crusade" as Donald Trump.

Of course, it did.

You see white supremacists in every shadow.

Whereas you wouldn't see one if they did a lynching in your front yard.

How long since you've had one of those? JFK?

I wonder too, though I'd like to be wrong.

@snood,

I'm embarrassed to admit that didn't immediately occur to me. I had taken it as tipico grossness from him. That's a radar error on my part.

tRump - "Great UNITY in GOP"

Quote:

Republican establishment begins campaign to attack Bannon

He's labeled 'anti-Semitic' and a 'white supremacist' amid a battle for control of the party and fears of losing the Senate majority.

“In 2018, we ought to revisit this question and find out if these people are still happy to be associated with Bannon,” former McConnell chief of staff Josh Holmes said in an interview with the Hill. “When you’re facing voters, I’d take one of the most successful majority leaders in history over a white supremacist any day.”

The Senate Leadership Fund, a PAC aligned with McConnell, has also stepped up its effort to embarrass Bannon. On Wednesday, the PAC’s Twitter account mocked Danny Tarkanian, a frequent candidate now challenging Sen. Dean Heller, R-Nev., for suggesting that they both pledge to oppose McConnell as majority leader.

They put him up there, but I highly doubt that they expected the results.

The fix was in, but the US public didn't cotton on too well.

@Builder,

You screwed up the lingo, no one in this country says “didn’t cotton on too well’. I know what you think you said, but you flubbed.......but I’m glad to see that you’re back......I heard you were in a coma.....glad you recovered.

The Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority awarded the contract to restore transmission and distribution lines damaged or destroyed during Hurricane Maria to tiny Whitefish Energy Holdings. The two-year-old company had just two full-time employees when the storm hit last month. And is located in the hometown of the interior secretary, Ryan Zinke.

Honi soit qui mal y pense.

Perniciousness of Dark Money: one person spent $17.9 million to stop Dem. Supreme Court pick-- and no one know who.

Now it's about time for people like Finn to start crowing about how the Dems spent more than the GOP in the last three presidential races.

If he'd thought about it for one cotton picking minute he would have realised that.

Well, I suppose there's that too.

Had to look that up. One could term it the "Huckabee Sanders maxim-turned-commandment"

Poor, poor Dems. They only outspent the GOP in the last three presidential elections.

More like they outspent the GOP in publicly disclosed donations and legal contributions.
