@MarSarMatrix @elamin88 He didn't enter us in a trade war Trump did by starting the tariffs. Everyone responds to tariffs with counter tariffs because it's politically nonsensical to allow your country to be ass fucked. You just have to show a spine.

@bennyjohnson Except the scientific community is largely against the RFK Jr. nomination. Of course it isn't a monolith, but the number of things RFK Jr. Says that are clearly false, or just incredibly dumb readings of the science is alarming. He gets some things right, but it's not enough.

@elonmusk They do understand that. They just don't see it in themselves. Just as you don't see your own inanity. Spend some time scrolling through your own tweets over the past 5 years and watch the confusion take hold.

@RevDaniel This is a crucial point that apparently no one learned in civics classes in high school except for like 5 people.

@Savage16May There's no way people actually are impacted by the presence of these people. In what ways would your lives materially improve if a bunch of people were deported?

@Concern70732755 You can hate Trudeau all you want. But to not lay ANY of the blame on the guy placing the tariffs because he doesn't understand trade deficits is insane.

@Conspire4Truth @MrMarvinMack @lexfridman @elonmusk I'm not sure what Elon was doing. One thing I am sure of is Trump signed several unconstitutional executive orders the same day that happened. This is obviously what the Democrats should be talking about. That's the job of an opposition party.

@Lord_Quinton @Aveng_Dev @PirateSoftware This. If you think he should have apologized then your opinion should be "it would have been nice if he took more accountability". Ganging up with a bunch of people, holding it over his head and just all together being a shitty human to him and his community is insane behavior.

@liz_churchill10 @MADDOGOFDOOM There is no evidence Ivermectin in and of itself cures cancer. There are a small number of studies that suggest it may help shrink tumors in a few cancers when used as a combination therapy. There is also no evidence it does anything for covid.

@Han_Akamatsu @lilyjayofficial Beautiful response. Couldn't have put it better. The analogy is nonsensical on its face.

@GregtheNorth @WriterJanine @MelissaLMRogers Rereading this it's pretty clear what you meant and that the second sentence was sarcasm. No idea what I was thinking last night. The Christmas wine was strong with me.

@Melanie54333723 @RealAndyLeeShow That's totally reasonable! I've saved a bunch, as a city dwelling PhD student. To be fair I still think the tax cut was terrible politics and terrible policy.

@Melanie54333723 @RealAndyLeeShow I mean I was just saying trying to make a point that getting to 88 cents saved is trivially easy, especially if you are buying food out. But yes I'm sure their are millions of people who are basically getting nothing.

@TaraBull808 I hope not. I have my issues with Trudeau like everyone else but I feel distinctly Canadian. I don't want to be an American. This is a different country. We have different problems, different people, different attitudes.

@GregtheNorth @WriterJanine @MelissaLMRogers Interesting. I gotta think the number of people who die because they can't get an appointment with a family doctor is tiny. They would almost always have some kind of medical event that hospitalizes them first. Also Canada went from 32-69? In what ranking? Can you link a source?

@SuzCrimi I like this sentiment of this I guess. But to be fair it's totally sane to not invite an unvaccinated person to a holiday party when Covid was raging. It SHOULD have been possible to have a good faith disagreement. People just got so nasty.

@patrickbetdavid I say Merry Christmas everywhere (I'm a Canadian liberal). I do sometimes receive happy holidays back but I am never offended by it. Moreover, I've never sensed I'm offending anyone by saying it. My experience is that it was never totally taboo to say it. It's always been fine.

@Cael_175 @maximum We are kind of wrong too. I can be guilty of it too but the game is very good right now. This season ended a little earlier than expected and consequently everyone has been losing their f'ing minds.
