Lawyer and author Linda Hirshman believed that, in the lead-up to the 2016 U.S. presidential election, Ginsburg was waiting for candidate Hillary Clinton to beat candidate Donald Trump before retiring, because Clinton would nominate a more liberal successor for her than Obama would, or so that her successor could be nominated by the first female president. After Trump’s victory in 2016 and the election of a Republican Senate, she would have had to wait until at least 2021 for a Democrat to be president, but died in office in September 2020 at age 87.

Seems she may have meant to retire but waited too long to do so.

The Beirut explosion was due to ammonium nitrate “having been confiscated by Lebanese authorities from the abandoned ship MV Rhosus” - then stashed in a warehouse for 6 years without safety measures.

On August 2, 2020 a fire broke out at the warehouse, which also housed a stash of fireworks.

Cue explosion. Source

So we agree to disagree then.

You seem to think that massive flood waters just stay in one place and don’t flow everywhere, mixing feces and storm debris.

My data is from StatsCan, who I trust more than your source.

RBG must be rolling in her grave over what’s happened to her beloved court.

China is attacking Canada economically for example.

China is doing that because our former right-wing asshole leader, Stephen Harper, locked us into a Foreign Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement (FIPA) with China for 31 years, and they’re now forcing its usage upon us. Source

You keep saying that but offer zero facts to back it up. Maybe it’s time you find the data to do that.

I’m in Canada and you’re wrong. Source

If only he’d kept his promise then.

Which was why I put the sarcasm “/s” at the end.

Just the front of the engine? Because that’s what it looks like to me … that the rear of the engine is still attached to the wing, but the front of it is sagging.

DelawareOnline reports that prosecutors sought a six-month jail sentence Friday, but defense attorneys successfully argued that since Waters was fired in January 2022 and still faces a federal lawsuit, probation would be more appropriate.

No, probation was NOT fucking appropriate.

As always, ACAB.

Mostly it’s just unpopular because Trudeau’s name is attached (just like Obamacare, aka the Afforable Care Act, was in the US).

A few weeks back there was a comment made here (sorry, can’t find it) where the poster said he’d discussed the carbon rebate with a couple of guys who were adamantly against it and swore they never received the rebate.

Turned out one guy owed back taxes (so the rebate was withheld to pay it) and the other guy’s wife received theirs.

And that’s on the the lack of messaging to clarify the tax/rebate info for people.

Wait until the Cons win the next election and the rebate stops … right wing voters will be pissed then.

Every day America shows me one more reason I never want to visit it again.

That right engine looks like it’s hanging down on the front end. Maybe some bolts came loose or the fire melted a mount?

It’s easier to apologise than ask permission.

I abhor with every fibre of my being having to vote strategically. The last 2 federal elections I haven’t had to … it was NDP across the board. This time I’ll have to go back to it and it pisses me off.

Democracy my ass.

All right wing politicians follow the same route. Occasionally you will find a left wing politician who doesn’t.

So your point was that I conflated metrics but that had nothing to do with the OPs original post?
