Does your national anthem mention the War of 1812? A war you ballsed right up by letting us burn your big daddy’s house?

Maybe you guys should make the Arrogant Worms song your new national anthem.

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Thu Jun 07, 2018 12:21 pm

Anthem should be a Sloan song.

Mitsurugi CP · Post by **Mitsurugi CP** » Thu Jun 07, 2018 2:37 pm

Or this.

Good song. The stuff about Alberta not sucking is wildly wrong, of course.

It doesn't mention it. It's about it. Or rather about a specific battle that the writer was witness to.

Ah. Weird. National anthems are weird.

Or piss on the field during. That's what players shoukd do next.

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Thu Jun 07, 2018 8:52 pm

Players should stand but quietly piss themselves during the anthem.

I like how Trump thinks that because Trudeau said something while Trump was flying, he must have been conniving and expecting that Trump wouldn’t be aware he’s said it.

Also, what he said was the same shit he’s been saying for days???

Trump is confusingly rando.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Tue Jun 12, 2018 7:55 pm

Trump always accuses others of what he does. So now we know he tries to orchestrate tweets for when he thinks the subject can't see them.

Fei Ayanami · Post by **Fei Ayanami** » Tue Jun 12, 2018 7:57 pm

I guess he’s unaware that things that have taken place in the recent past, especially among major political figures, are not simply lost in time like tears in rain.

Children concentration camps now? Cool. When is Trump going to Put the Japanese in camps too? They look different and therefore must be up to something, and it’s been done before, when America was great.

At this point, I just expect horrible things to happen and hope that enough people stay angry, frustrated, and motivated enough to turn him into a 1-term lame duck in a few months.

But then, I expected more people to keep someone we already knew was a monster from being elected in the first place, but I severely overestimated our collective tolerance for atrocities. If the GOP retains control of both chambers, I fully expect public lynchings to come back into vogue.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Tue Jun 19, 2018 2:44 am

If the GOP retains control, I hope people finally put off this bullshit of waiting for the next election as if that's a viable solution and start taking up arms.

Trump fans have all the guns, though.

Luckily they're mostly too dumb to use them, but still.

So pot will be legal in Canada by the Fall. The senate passed he bill yesterday.

Go to the states and buy some shoes and make them look old if this is old news.

RDM · Post by **RDM** » Wed Jun 20, 2018 10:38 am

What.

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Wed Jun 20, 2018 11:17 am

you god emperor said Canadians go to the state to buy shoes, and then make them look old to rip off your Motherland of tax money.

I realize it doesn’t make any sense because in this case it’s ripping off the Canadian gov, but really when was the God Wmowror wrong about anything!?

It'd be unworkable, much the same way as Brexit (though perhaps more tangible).

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez looks poised to beat Joe Crowley in the Democratic Primary (she has a commanding lead of over 15 points with 88% of precincts reporting, so I'd say it's pretty much locked in). This will be a significant victory over neolib Dems, especially considering Crowley's ambitions to become Speaker. Of course, there's always the danger that he'll pull a Lieberman on her in November.

France won this morning, is that newsworthy news?

RDM · Post by **RDM** » Sat Jun 30, 2018 9:22 pm

Crowley is not pulling a Lieberman. He played her a song and was all congratulatory and stuff! Pretty cool if we can get seriously progressive candidates in a bunch of the safer-D districts and start actually moving the national conversation towards cool things like Medicare for all.

It was full of drama though. Good game. A bit like a Captain Tsubasa episode.

Asbestos has been unband in the USA.
Good thing the free market has an exemplary record when it comes to protecting consumers

Edit. Should I make a newsworthy banding news thread?

One of the few things you can trust this administration to do is reflexively, and spitefully, do the opposite of whatever common sense would otherwise dictate based on long-established medical and scientific fact.

Lord Golbez · Post by **Lord Golbez** » Wed Aug 08, 2018 1:37 am

This is so beyond the pale ridiculous that the president and his administration can even get away with doing this.

1. It should be flat out criminal to even attempt to do this. This should be immediate grounds for impeachment and arrest of all reponsible. There shouldn't even be much of a need for investigation, because the publicly made act itself should be illegal.

2. Both the perpretators of these acts and any responsible for the fact that regulations like these aren't ingrained in law should be liable and executed. And if the law prevents them from being held responsible they should rightfully be rounded up and torn apart limb from limb by angry mobs.

WaWard · Post by **WaWard** » Wed Aug 08, 2018 10:51 am

They’re just going to offer consumers more choice! What’s wrong with that!

RDM · Post by **RDM** » Wed Aug 08, 2018 2:48 pm

Unbanning absbestos seems to be a pretty good way to alienate blue collar families who've lost craploads of family members to cancer. But that'd require people to have logical reactions to the news.
