    Read no further to debunk this. Trump kept his mouth shut about something for the greater good. Haha get the fuck out of here.

    Well fuck me... Elon is smarter than we were giving him credit for. The Starship "landing" was exactly as he was expecting it to be... bunker busting. He's looking to infiltrate that underground base on Mars from orbit in order to take back what is rightfully his.

    I find that more believable than the Trump administration not slipping and letting that cat out of the bag.

    We may not be able to travel to Mars just yet, but the astronauts could have hitched a ride on a federation ship, it isn't that unbelievable.

    Trump restraining himself for four years and not saying, "Hey, maybe there's aliens, maybe I'm such good friends with them. Really great friends. I know they are happy I'm president." That is far fetched.

    "Look, you wouldn't know it because the fake news media won't report it, but a lot of people - and a lot of SMART. PEOPLE, really, they're some very smart people...are saying that there's a Federation base on Mars and I believe it, I know about it - and I WOULD know. But actually, there's nothing up there, we haven't said anything about it, this Federation guy, I don't even know him. Come on, one picture? I take pictures with a lot of people. It's not even a story. But we'll see, it might end up being a big deal, a very big deal. We'll see."

    If aliens were real Trump would have claimed that Independence Day was based on the true story of the time he punched an "illegal alien" (insert him laughing at his own joke) in the face.

    We joke, but do you really think Trump would sign the United States Space Force Act for any other reason?

    I saw this on Reddit this morning. NSFW

    Yeah, this will go well after the Electoral College seals the deal tomorrow, I'm sure. Shit like this is why when people I know tell me "America is headed for socialism", I tell them the real "ism" happening right now has happened before about 80 years ago, and didn't work out so well for millions of people in Europe.

    Why the fuck aren’t THOSE assholes being shot by cops? But everybody have a mental episode, let’s mow them down like a rabid animal.

    Oh that’s right, because the Proud Boys are friends with cops. Supported by cops. And probably ARE cops.

    Socialism also didn't work out for millions of people in Europe.

    There’s an overwhelming amount of information that’s readily available. But if you need a place to start, go read up on how Mitterand tried to implement socialism in France. Or how various nations used the Soviet model to transition administration of their governments from socialism to communism. Thanks, but I’m all set. At least the oligarchs leave me alone.

    As for Canada, well they can’t even consume a fraction of their own economic production. They need the US to do that for them. The proof is that Canada had almost zero negotiating power when NAFTA2 was signed. The labor market is top-heavy with highly-skilled workers that are 5-15 years away from retirement without a complementary, younger demographic to replace them. Canada’s economic engine relies on oil and gas production in Alberta and Saskatchewan while the political power sits in Ottawa and drains them dry to fund the social welfare programs in a very noticeable way. All the Canadian self-righteousness in the world isn’t going help the coming economic hardship 10 years from now.

    Maybe this response was snarkier than necessary, but I’m not sure how much time I’m willing to spend on a question that’s tantamount to, “prove the Earth isn’t flat.”

    It was cite your sources.

    And then you went on to invent a bunch of "facts" about Canada or maybe you subscribe to Jason Kenny's newsletters.

    But you go on believing that the Olagarchs are leaving you alone while you pay for medical insurance that is lining their pockets with what a $5000 deductible? $10,000?

    And I'll sit here and marvel at how with zero negotiating power Canada managed to somehow get everything we wanted from NAFTA.

    I don't condone the behavior of either group, but that was not some innocent couple out for a walk that was randomly attacked. They were in with a group of Antifa who showed up specifically to cause trouble. There's video floating around out there that shows Antifa stabbing four of the Proud Boys last night. Both sides are assholes.

    The full video of the encounter; (The video posted on Reddit starts around 1:20:13)

    Just because you were with a group of people, some of whom were assaulting others, doesn't mean that you deserve to be assaulted yourself for something that someone else did. The people who stabbed others are fucking criminals, and so are the assholes in the reddit video. Just like the people who were stabbed were victims, and the people being assaulted in the reddit video were victims. This isn't a "but both sides" argument. It's a matter of two separate incidents.

    Ok, but we're not anywhere close to socialism in the United States. Our most "socialist" elected officials are basically free market capitalists who support a universal healthcare system. The "socialism is coming" boogeyman relies on the idea that there isn't an inch of daylight between Joe Biden and Hugo Chavez/Fidel Castro, which is just a farcical claim.
