All purpose news and politics thread part VI: This Is Not The Time For Posing

[ChangingStation]

So, a Roman Empire type outcome. Yeah, I could say that happening.

That's the last thing America, Canada or any other country (neighbouring or not) needs. As bad as things seem now, at least there's a chance of things getting better.

It's fine! Since the US has it coming for some bad apples if anything happens to Canada because of this anyone could just say the bad voters in Canada made the reckoning necessary...

[Celgress]

I am sure that will go well for Canada as well. More hurricanes for your models!

Hahaha, it is what it is.

"May you live in interesting times" was actually a Chinese saying and a curse.

Well, there is Quebec and Alberta they sort of deserve it, I kid.

Yet you say this is all because you want things to get better. You must have a different idea of better than the rest of us. But I think that was obvious last week.

I don't think you do.

This, countries like the US when they hit hard times tend to flock behind the first person to make it go away, regardless of character.

With America, the collapse of party politics and a system on that will lead in turn to military government of some kind. The odds of that happening are far stronger than anything else.

Hahaha, it is what it is.

"May you live in interesting times" was actually a Chinese saying and a curse.

So now we are indulging in pidgin Orientalism. "May you live in interesting times" was a meme developed in the west and misattributed to the Chinese, it's not a real Chinese saying at all.

I have grave doubts about your career as a pol.sci. expert if you don't even know this much and perpetrate stereotypes like this.

That you can supply this reply so bloodlessly tells all of us here all that needs to be said about the kind of views you truly hold. For all my disagreements with Mr. Sobchak, I kind of do share his sentiments about nihilism.

Before things get better they often have to get worse. Japan and Western Europe had their best periods ever about twenty years after World War II. Destruction is often necessary for creation, take a forest fire for example that cleans out the old growth for new trees.

I think I am going to side with Jack on this.

Last weeks banning for trolling was all the proof needed.

Of course a lot of times an out of control forest fire can destroy the very land for new trees.

I don't know why you guys even bother with them. Got banned for **** posting last week. Nuff said.

I couldn't let the moral grandstanding after such a thing go unanswered. Although in all likely it's just another form of what happened last week. But letting trumpism go unchallanged in such dangerous times is why we got into such times to begin with.

[BeastieRunner]

Please don't break the thread this close to the election ...

Trump just stormed out of his 60 minutes interview.

Trump just stormed out of his 60 minutes interview.

On Twitter he's now trying to shame Stahl in the interview claiming how she didn't wear a mask to interview him. Its the most stupid bizarre deal and its to try and make the media look wrong.
