Surprising no one they all vanished back into nothing.

Like the "swift boat veterans for truth"

The messaging being that the top of the Democratic Party needs to start listening to everyone instead of just their Wall St donor friends.

So Gabriel in Good Omens 2 is just John Hamm showing up on set unannounced?

I for one am tired of the smoke and mirrors.

Queue up meaningful change but then "oops, new term, " Obama didn't investigate Dubya's fucking Torture Camps, nor into the subprime mortgage.

They did the same shit with Net Neutrality under Obama. Left it with a massive and meaningless "ramp up" time that coincidentally meant it would be a year into the next president's term. Oops Ajit Pall is parachuted in and cancels the whole thing before the "ramp up" is done.

Yup, hope they got arrested just like the other ones did.

As the link i posted points out, there is already a law on the books to stop exactly what Walmart and Target are doing in the US.

It has just never been enforced against them and the Biden administration joins the list that did nothing to stop them using laws they already had

Did Biden take on the illegal price gouging that Walmart and Target participated in during Covid? The thing that is directly causing Americans so much financial stress?

No it did not.

This is just another lie from the DNC blue dog propaganda machine trying to blame anything but itself for the loss.

To be fair, Trump is a complete disaster, but to claim that Biden did a decent job is a compete fabrication.

The article mentions that Israeli fans are at fault for all of this and that the arrests happened because a court ordered ban on all protests.

He walked with them AFTER forcing a bad contract on all rail workers.

Lets not just look at the last thing he did on unions.

Not nearly as happy as European defense contractors.

And all of the corporate news execs are elated because for the next 4 years they don't have to worry about running out of news; because they think they're safe.

  1. They need a majority of the provinces to have allied conservative governments to re-open the constitution, the charter and pervert both of them.

To that end Alberta spent at least 20 million dollars in the last two months to influence elections in British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.

  1. Poilievre would need to deal with the Supreme Court of Canada. This is one of the things Harper tried to start but he was stymied at several levels because lawyers and justices protested his attempt to insert unqualified judges to that bench.

However, the government also has the Notwithstanding clause that allows them carte blanche to override the Charter of Rights and Freedoms to do what they want, subject to those overrides being refreshed every 5 years. That clause was included over a fear of judges having too much power and was included at the last minute. Outside of Quebec, it has been used 6 times, all of them by conservative governments, mostly within the last 20 years.

Uses outside of Quebec: • 1982 - Yukon - land planning bill • 1986 - Sask. - back to work legislation. • 2000 - Alberta - anti-LGBT marriage, overruled in 2004 by Paul Martin at the federal level. 2015 - Sask. - considered it to override ruling to keep outlawing public sector strikes, but relented and did not use it. 2017 - Sask. - override court ruling against public funding of non-Catholics attending Catholic schools. 2018 - Ontario - used to forcibly change Toronto's municipal council. 2021 - Ontario - overruled court to stifle free speech against them.
