The pig fucker one wasn't the one I had money on being true, but it was and was the first, which is weird.

To go with his regular human skin and regular human organs. Definitely normal human.

Which is funny because I bought one of those scan your forehead thermometers and took my temperature twice a day every day for a few months and it was never 37°C. Not once.

I absolutely love that quote. 🤣

Also Plato literally used his dead teacher Socrates to agree with everything he ever said.
His whole attitude was "Soc didn't believe in writing, so who you gonna believe? That guy, or me who writes things down?"

He 100% forgot to log into his sock puppet.
Pretty hilarious for us, embarrassing for him. 🤣

Not to mention this whole event, making fake buttons, distributing them, then bragging about it in public, is so amateur and silly that nobody should be defending anyone in this affair.

It's such amateur hour. Embarrassing.

They're trying to do that in Canada too. Alberta had one of the best education systems in the world, and the current strain of conservatives in government are working hard to destroy it.

Look at what's happening down South where the Trump Administration is trying to create a creeping barrage of rights violations.

Woof, never trust a politician who promises he'd violate anyone's rights. This is a huge red flag. 😬

Load bearing (probably).

I remember when the parties would release each plank in their platform over several days to get the maximum media attention, but now they just don't release a platform at all.

"You DO know that oil prices vary according to the market and the grade, don't you?"
Yes. What's the point of your snarky, sarcastic comment and automatically assuming I'm ignorant?
You should also read your own comment: "very low prices."

I'm not American, but I agree. Throw the whole party in the trash.

The Democrats are structurally and functionally unable to harness that rage.
They had a chance during Occupy Wall Street, but they didn't. They had a chance during Black Lives Matter, but they didn't. They have a chance now, but they won't.

I always found it interesting how, in Star Trek, they rely on and use technology, but it's used carefully and not the be all and end all.
They value human stuff beyond technology. That's utopian to me.

So they communicated on X that they don't intend to exclusively communicate on X? 🤔
Hmmmm. Ok.

I wasn't aware of #1.
What's the thinking on meeting with Poilievre? Do they intend to hold his feet to the fire regarding #2 or is this a meeting to get their concerns out to him? God forbid it's an endorsement of him or a way to legitimize him.

As a Canadian, I've always thought the PATRIOT Act and the Department of Homeland Security were obviously authoritarian and a surrender of freedoms to the government.
It's been obvious from the very beginning. Dismantling all of that is a vital part in dismantling fascist structures in the US.

The best defence for abortion I've ever seen was made by a Conservative MP during the Harper government. Back then you'd have staunchly pro-choice Conservative MPs, but it seems that's not a thing any longer.
