  1. She made me want to go out to the driveway, start the car, come back inside, and relax for the rest of the evening.

  2. I'd love that, but will it happen? The fact that she held that position for over 8 years cries out for full explanation. She should have been working in an insurance office or hardware store.

  3. Correct, and nor is what Germaine Greer said: "A man who cuts his c~~~ off isn't a woman, he's a man without a c~~~."

  4. She's gotten him to burn every one of his bridges, including the one to the British people, so now he's only got her. A stunning total victory. Born a human being, he's now a poodle in a woman's purse.

  5.  @loriswafford4672  You could not possibly be any less discerning. And more widely-set eyes are a feminine characteristic, silly.

  6. "Her pink dye...oil industry" Y'know, we're all sort of here thanks to the oil industry. Without it, the world's population would never have grown past 2 billion people.

  7. It gets worse. The bowdlerizers also say that "mother and father should be scrapped," according to The Daily Mail. Also the term "double-blind," used in science for a research study in which neither the human subjects nor the workers dealing with them know which subjects belong to the control group. Use of the term "could be harmful to people with disabilities," they claim. It also turns out the three authors are so-called professors at the U. of British Columbia.

  9.  @jeromeh7985  The Guardian hasn't got the market cornered on appalling pseudo-journalism, I'll grant you that.

  10. Yep, 10% of his father's intellect and courage, 1000% of his ego.

  11.  @vodaredhill1704  Amazing how The Guardian will publish an article to say "I bet this won't be any good" and call themselves journalists. Every day they do their best imitation of Tass, Pravda and Izvestia. "Typewriter bangers-on, you're all just hangers-on" —Pete Townsend.

  12. No, he's a hyper- superultramegagoof. I agree with you on the rest.

  13.  @marie-christineb.4817  Madam, you perhaps need to brush up on your awareness of Canadian politics. Trudeau has taken a bulldozer to many of the most salutary Canadian political, legal and social traditions during his tenure, especially this year. 'Dictator' is a rhetorical exaggeration but can be invoked with a spirit of considerable justice in light of his proudly, unapologetically authoritarian measures and utterances.

  14. The point was largely to warn all other countries not to host terrorist training, which the Taliban had done. Now everyone knows what happens when you do and then those trained there attack the West: you get some very unfriendly guests who stay for a generation. So actually, "What did they achieve?": They made your own country and your own smug butt safer for a long time. Had ISAF not gone, Al Qaeda (and the Taliban) would have flourished all this time, leading to more attacks like 9/11 and 7/7.

  15. Cis = Non-trans. The comedian Norm McDonald remarked that 'cis-' is "a way of marginalizing a normal person."

  16.  @CyrusandAurelius  Right. Because you don't 'win' in Afghanistan. The goal was to do what I said was done. LOL And yes, people got rich—and I've got news for you: People get rich every time money is spent on anything, everywhere. LOL You're not quick, my smug laughing friend, but you'll get there. LOL

  20.  @marie-christineb.4817  I've discovered by chance that my reply to you of yesterday has vanished. (!) It was a suggestion that you see a clip of the Bill Maher show (he's perhaps the leading American liberal icon) from February, in which he not-at-all-jokingly likened Trudeau to that funny-moustache guy from Germany. You know the guy I mean. Cheers

  21. It's a pity they moved on from Ottawa to border blockades. That gave His Majesty a green light to step up his appalling tactics, because it alienated moderate Canadians who otherwise might be coming around. Bad move. It only satisfied themselves and their very strongest supporters.

  22.  @FatNormanCoathanger  You mean 'admission.' Admittance has to do with being permitted to enter some physical location.

  23.  @dovetonsturdee7033  Wow, really? I would've guessed her parents toiled in low-ranking jobs for quite little, meaning that she herself was educated at schools in a very poor area. Absolutely astonishing.

  24.  @secondchance6603  No, your comment is. It is actually an illuminating comparison. Nice virtue signalling on your part, though.

  26. @FatalPies [Re: Rome, Egypt] Yeah, except in the case of Rome it had no serious competition for so long. It started going downhill and took centuries to finally fold (and also sort of escape to Byzantium). In the case of the US, China is busily screwing chains to the tower in order to pull it down. It could be over really, really suddenly and soon.

  27.  @MrChillidee  Don't hide behind made-up words as though they're magical. They can't make anyone whole who's half a person. Step up to reality, put your arms around it, and never let go.

  28. Please, Ottawa isn't paralyzed. Several blocks have trucks illegally parked on them, mainly on one street. Be more careful not to parrot MSM falsehoods.

  29. You don't say!

  30. What nonsense, lumping "persuaded," "reminded," and "incentivized" together with "lied to," "forced," "bullied," "punished" etc. If this Ian Watson, whoever he is, is being quoted accurately here, I'm afraid he simply isn't very bright.

  31. Yet he'll never be prime minister—although he might make a good one—and instead at some point we'll probably end up with someone like her in No. 10. Stop the country, I want to get off.

  32. Deranged them, many quite thoroughly.

  33. After the Coronation, how about if they both just remain quiet and out of sight for the remainder of their days? I wish them all happiness of course, but there's the rest of us to consider too.

  34. His actions were superficially confusing but make sense if you draw certain inferences. His rhetoric against the protesters was pretty rabid, but what he actually did was extremely restrained. I don't think he held anything against them at all and wanted to leave them alone. In such a position, what he did was the way to allow the protest to go on. Finally they ordered him to resign. The remaining question is how will the rank and file—who are good people and are behind the protesters, I'm quite sure—handle themselves from here?

  35. INGSOC in 1984 was of course a left party as well.

  37. I offer here a response to your question about financial costs. Russia's estimated bill for direct military costs alone is $10bn a month. The US says its military aid cost $2.6bn a month for the 49 weeks from the start of the war to February 3, 2023 (a total of $29.3bn). Despite considerable effort I have been unable to obtain a military aid total for all Ukraine's allies, but it is often stated that the US provides more than 50% of the overall total. If this is true, then military aid altogether is no more than $5bn a month. If the estimates I have given are more or less valid and accurate, then Ukraine's allies' military spending has totalled $55bn so far, versus $120bn by Russia. (Obviously I have not accounted for spending by Ukraine itself, but that is a matter outside the narrow scope of the subject you raised.) Russia's $120bn would compare with its 2021 military budget of $66bn and its GDP in 2022 of about $1.7trn. The allies' $55bn would compare with the total military budget of NATO countries in 2021 (thus excluding Japan, South Korea and Australia) of $1.6trn, and total GDP in 2022 in the neighbourhood of $50trn (including Japan, South Korea and Australia). Thus Russia's military spending on the war is 200% of its 2021 military budget and 7% of its GDP. For Ukraine's allies the figures would be 3.4% (of NATO military budgets only) and 0.15% of GDP (all allies). (Indirect and other costs—including, for Ukraine's allies, humanitarian and financial aid—are of course much more for both sides, but here I am addressing the part of your comment concerned with military spending.) The upshot is that Russia's military financial burden is immensely greater than that of Ukraine's allies. It appears to be something on the order of 45x greater in proportion to its total economic resources. Against this, a number of factors may be considered relevant, including the undervaluation of Russia's currency versus the dollar. I wish to stress that I have little expertise in these matters, despite having a longstanding interest and some knowledge and work experience in finance and global economics. Nor am I a professional researcher. It may interest you to know that on Tuesday, February 21 the Kiel Institute, a high-profile German think tank, will publish online a major update to its Ukraine Aid Tracker.

  38. And in response, mark my words, the left will double down on their wokeism. The New York Times will hire dozens, even hundreds more reporters to ratchet up the activism. The total number of lies across the news media and social media will skyrocket. They'll do anything they can dream up to work the whole country (but each other especially) into a moral panic. It will not last mere months.

  39. The CBC is slandering with furious intensity the convoy and the many protests it has spawned on its way across the country. As trite or even kooky as it sounds, they richly deserve comparisons to Pravda, Tass and Isvestia. Their appalling bias has reached shocking new extremes.

  40.  @kath2ndrew  Uh, that last sentence needs an edit. It reads like you're saying it's not corrupt. How about a period after CBC, making it two sentences?

  41.  @kath2ndrew   It was a great comment but had problems. Here it is with some light editing. Easier and faster to read, clearer, illogicalities (e.g. "disagree they should not be fired") fixed, all without changing your style or voice: That's not true—they are just interviewing people with a negative view. The majority of the truckers are vaccinated and support this because they are for freedom, and they disagree that those who legally chose not to get the vaxx should be fired! The CBC is a puppet for Turdo. They are changing the narrative, saying they are extremists, the convoy has been hijacked, they defaced the war memorial—it's all BS! Turdo is even in hiding. Well this is Independence Day and Canada is awake! The whole country has had enough, united we stand! Don't believe the CBC. The Commie Broadcasting Corporation is in the leftist Liberals' pockets!

  43. Stop calling their demands "rules." It plays perfectly into their hands. They obviously should be called demands, and then attacked.

  44. Your comment start out all right and then bog down at end like Russian tank crossing river on fire. Translation program do good job translating 'exceptionalism' though.

  45. The truth of it is that the German leadership knew that the conversion to gas would play in the high-circulation newspapers and main news channels. The news media (and their confederates in big social media) are the leading power in the West. They can install and remove governments, the second-leading power, more or less at will.

  46.  @CorsetGrace  Just 80%? According to researchers whom transgenderism thrills as the next great advance of humanity, those who see it as a hysteria foreshadowing civilizational collapse, or both?

  47. No one has satisfactorily explained why these things are being taught in schools. (E.g. "Now Gareth, tell us what sex you are. Remember, you can say whatever you like"—and Gareth is 8.) Few people believe in these ideas, so we need to determine exactly how such practices came to be.

  48. Everyone is eligible for a licence fee refund except those who type in all-caps. You didn't know that?

  49.  @spiffenage1  But you're here too, so if viewing the video and leaving a comment makes me a gross bigot, it makes you one equally. (N.B. I'm not; you probably are, though.)

  50. 'Cis' means 'non-trans'. The late comedian Norm Macdonald called it "a way of marginalizing a normal person." For my part, I don't want to be called non-trans any more than I want to be called straight (which really means non-gay), non-person-of-color, non-white or any such thing at all. Any attempt to overhaul the language is an attempt by a group to seize political control. The absolutely necessary thing is to let them know they're being counterattacked very energetically.
