  1. Nice try? Reality is that you assign pronouns and gender to a person on visuals clues alone. I can guarantee you have never asked a person about their genetic makeup before addressing them as he or she. That is reality.
  2. By literal reading, sure. But Joe isn't arguing about literal reading of agreements, but about adhering to the principals of an agreement.
  3. You signed an agreement that Ukraine wouldn't be invaded if it gave up their WMD.
  4. Reality is that you cannot see genes. Reality is that people tend to try to identify male and female visually. Reality is that leads to all kinds of problems.
  5. We are open, just need to be vaccinated. Was in Whistler on Sunday for probably the worst day of skiing...but such is Whistler.
  6. Looks like the rest of NATO has been picking up the decrease in US expenditures.
  7. "Mexico will pay for it" would still be a thing.
  8. Bullshit. This isn't an either or equation. Never has been. Simple soundbites like that are rather asinine.
  9. Our biggest fear I think should be the loss of democracy and subsequent threat from our southern neighbours. Even the liberal ones seem to agree that unless countries do exactly what the US want they deserve to suffer, add to that the threat of a GOP majority and second Trump or Trump-like presidency and it is by far the greatest threat to Canada. Sure. And my God this man cannot be in power is not the same as calling for regime change and ok isn't really ok.
  10. "Sending troops and threatening war isn't smart; it's a fools game most times. Let's spend less money and really beat the bastards. For example, and given that there really isn't jack we can do, let's take this opportune moment to remind our European Allies and our Canadian friends why going on the cheap with your military won't do anymore: 'cause we ain't coming. "
  11. Which is completely different from: sorry Ukraine, I know you are suffering, but we want other countries to pay more to our military contractors, so we are not going to intervene. Canada definitely needs to fix its military. Not only spend more, but probably change the toxic culture before just pumping more money into it.
  12. Joe will be upset that Trudeau had to agree to national dental care in order to get support for increased military spending.
  13. Dental care is not part of our national healthcare plan...yet.
  14. Ah yes, the "we will beat you if you aren't grateful" tactic.
  15. Great choice considering our mild climate, short flight distances and abundance of aircraft carriers.
  16. This really is an extraordinary ruling. Declaring that a president more likely than not committed crimes while still in office.
  17. One I found said it was a US citizen with the female gender. Guess there are no women outside of the US.
  18. Not disputing that. Disputing that sporting organization have well established rules and regulations around this. NCAA will likely change their regulations again. Athletes have been unable to participate due to sporting organizations being unable to come to agreement whether an athlete is male or female. This continues to be a very contentious issue in sports. Stating that all is fine because sporting events have taken place is rather silly.
  19. There is nothin in that pdf that defines what a male and a female athlete is. The case regarding Caster Semenya for instance took many, many years to come to an "end". Even then it wasn't decided based on a determination of male or female, but a decision around the testosterone levels in the body.
  20. A legal definition should be easy to look up. What is the legal definition of a woman?
  21. Do they? How exactly do they deal with these issues?
  22. Carl Nichols, one of Clarence Thomas' clerks was more or less pushed through by Trump to become a judge. He has gone on to write an opinion piece that states intimidating Congress by assaulting the building is not really obstruction of an official proceeding... Of course it has always been Republicans complaining about "activist judges".
  23. Yes it is and in my opinion Congress should move to impeachment. However, what we have continuously seen is that especially the Republicans have absolutely no interest to hold "their own" to any account.
  24. I don't think it is a "coincidence" that Hunter's laptop is being brought back just as it comes out that a SC Justice's wife was planning an insurrection with the President's Chief of Staff. And that same SC Justice is the only Justice who voted against making materials available to the Jan 6th committee. I think you have much bigger problems than trying to decide if Hunter Biden made money cause his last name is Biden.
