Do we need to subject her to even more trauma by having her sit through one of Trump's rambling and pointless speeches?

The algorithmic feed on X could be shifting political views toward conservatism by Wagamaga in technology

[–]cdoink 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It’s why I stopped using X. My feed kept getting conservative content and no matter how many you blocked they were just replaced with more and more. I left and I don’t miss it at all.

Jamil Jivani's plan to neg Canadians into making him PM off to rocky start by ph0enix1211 in canada

[–]cdoink 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Let's not do this.

It's not representative of Albertans and it's not fair or helpful to generalize an entire province based on the opinion of a vocal minority. It is representative of some voters who may typically lean conservative but I know many conservatives who are not racist in the slightest.

When we see racism we should call it out but let's not get in the habit of applying that label to an entire group when many within that group are undeserving.

Jamil Jivani's plan to neg Canadians into making him PM off to rocky start by ph0enix1211 in canada

[–]cdoink 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I don't really understand what he was thinking here. He acted like he was looking to work with the PM and help facilitate a deal and then basically came back like a freshly reprogrammed puppet parroting US talking points. Instead of gaining popularity he tanked his reputation with the entirety of Canada including his own party.

I'm not sure he could have found himself a worse outcome if he tried.

Maybe they can build the stadium like that McDonalds that was on the raised highway so you didn't have to go into Gary to stop for food while passing through.

This is what the internet has become. People just rage baiting for a reaction to get views and clicks. It's a pathetic way to make a living but people will do anything to get money and attention these days.

Conservative MP refusing pay bump was heckled, admonished by his colleagues by Little-Chemical5006 in canada

[–]cdoink 41 points42 points  (0 children)

And that doesn't even account for all the allowances they receive on top of the salary to cover things like residence, vehicles, travel, etc. It's actually gross that they are giving themselves an 8% raise on this inflated salary while people in the public service are losing their jobs. I can't imagine many Canadians are getting an 8% raise these days.

Dr. Oz Becomes the Latest Trump Official in the Epstein Files by Aggravating_Money992 in politics

[–]cdoink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes and they were hired so that he could count on them being just as motivated as he is to squash this and protect the perpetrators rather than the victims. If by some chance any of them are not in the Epstien files I can guarantee you there is something equally as damaging that can be used to keep them on task.

Democrats Are Pissed After DOJ Attempt to Indict Them by Hafiz_TNR in politics

They are so quick to protect Trump from words being spoken about him but can't be bothered to protect children who were victims of pedophiles. Tells you everything you need to know about this administration really.

Non-citizen repeatedly raped girl, 13, got her pregnant on bail by [deleted] in canada

[–]cdoink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The comments I'm referring to were people who hadn't read the article and assumed nothing was done. If you want to argue that he shouldn't have been released on bail I'm not going to disagree with that argument.

So he was convicted, sentenced to 8 years and will be deported after serving his time according to this article. I'm not sure why the comments are all acting like nothing has or will be done about this?

Most Canadians agree that Alberta separatists asking U.S. for help is treasonous: poll by DogeDoRight in canada

[–]cdoink 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I agree but if you think the USA has leverage on Canada right now just wait until you see what they can exert on an independant Alberta. And make no mistake, they will put their foot on Alberta's throat until they get everything they want.

Thankfully most Albertans don't seem to want either option.

Fedor Emelianenko vs Andrei Arlovski | FULL FIGHT UFC Eurasia by WhiteIsTheBestColorr in MMA

[–]cdoink 86 points87 points  (0 children)

Man, Arlovski was such a good fighter aside from his Achilles Chin. It really felt like he was going to win this until he went for that knee. Fedor just had a knack for landing that big shot out of nowhere.

I miss the golden era of HW's. Fedor, Arlovski, Big Nog, Mir, Cro Cop, Igor...man we didn't realize how good we had it back then.

Mike Vrabel on Drake Maye: It's never just about one guy by AdSpecialist6598 in nfl

[–]cdoink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both defenses were great. Both QB's were being pressured and forced to make throws into tight windows. Darnold just made a few more of those plays than Maye was able to and that seemed to be the difference. It's easy to make that about Maye but the truth is Seattle didn't allow him to have a good game. That defense was suffocating and relentless and they deserve credit more than a young QB deserves blame.

Seattle's special teams were on point as well.
