Over the past few elections, it’s been a tradition for the Conservative party leader to get kicked to the curb after failing to unseat the Liberals. I don’t see why PP should be any different.

This is likely going to lead to the Conservatives splitting between the reformers and the moderates once more

It should, but I wouldn’t hold my breath.

I think the party splitting back into its Progressive Conservative and Reform components is long overdue. PCs might’ve held their noses and agreed to a merge for the sake of defeating the Liberals, but since then they’ve sat passively allowing the extreme regressives to take the reins.

A reasonable person might assume PP losing his riding might be a sign that people think a demagogue mini-Trump who blames everything he dislikes on “wokeness” is a very unserious person who isn’t fit to lead a party, but the Conservative Party seems to be very lacking in reasonable people…

Congressman Shri Thanedar (MI-13)

MI-13? That’s almost MS-13! Bake him away toys!

“The arrest of Bishop Barber feels like the most clear example of hypocrisy of the Trump administration when they talk about anti-Christian bias,” Raushenbush said. “They are not interested in the broad expression of faith as exemplified by Bishop Barber, but rather only Christians approved of by the Trump administration.”

White Christian nationalism.

If Jesus came to America today, he’d be crucified by those claiming to follow him…

Fuckin’ seriously. I don’t know how anyone could look at that and think he’s at all in touch with the common working person.

Better late than never, I guess

Honestly, if they drop him into my riding to replace Garnett Genuis, I’d consider it an upgrade.

Not a significant one, mind you, but still a marginal improvement.

Biggest shame here is that, after a mere two decade career during which he accomplished almost nothing, he’ll collect a pension of over $200k per year.

Hopefully this will signal to the Conservatives that Canadians don’t have any use for a demagogue who attributes the world’s ills to “wokeness,” but I’m not holding my breath.

Yes to both. Also, Tiktok, Joe Rogan, and Jordan Peterson for the younger ones, and every newspaper being part of the American owned right wing Postmedia behemoth for the olds who still read the paper.

So what actions have you taken? “Not supporting” can be pretty fucking passive, and I for one will absolutely keep lumping you in with the other assholes until it upsets you enough to do more than whine on the Internet about it.

Fuckin’ seriously. I said half a year ago that a potential silver lining to Trump winning might be galvanising us to vote against PP, and it looks like that’s pretty likely to happen, so thanks, Trump, for one uplifting bit in your otherwise awful tenure.

Fuckin’ seriously. I’ve got friends who are like “I wouldn’t even consider an electric car until they have 1000 miles of range and can charge in fifteen minutes,” like bruh, you make two road trips a year and have four kids; even if we pretend you weren’t a two car family that takes the minivan anyway when you’re traveling, there’s no way your kids are making it a quarter of the range you “need” without stopping.

It was so incredibly sad, Natalie Portman died of sadness. I always thought that sort of thing was reserved for people who lost their spouse of fifty years, and kind of really only worked because they were super old anyway.

I dunno why Anakin didn’t just bail on the whole Jedi thing after they told him he couldn’t be with Padme. It’s not like his Force powers were dependant on an active membership or something; he could’ve just quit, married his smoking hot Senator wife without having to hide it, and remained her personal bodyguard without all the control and manipulation from the Jedi.

Pretty fuckin’ stupid too how he sided with Palpatine when he was Force lightning-ing Mace Windu and Mace was merely defending himself with his lightsaber, though I can kind of understand how he’d reached a breaking point. But then, he’s just like “In for a penny, in for a pound, I guess I’m completely evil now” and goes to kill a bunch of children, many of whom he probably not only knew but likely participated to some extent in their training… that’s even lazier storytelling than “Somehow, Palpatine returned.”

Oh yeah, gotta give a shout out to “You can’t win, I have the high ground!” coming from the guy who defeated Darth Maul while he had the high ground. Fuckin’ brilliant.

One of my favourite things is how the prequel trilogy very justifiably got shat all over in the years following its release, until comparatively recently when the Internet just collectively decided that it was actually really good and people only claimed to dislike it because they thought it was cool to hate.

How white are you? Visibly trans or could be mistaken as trans? Ever post anything critical of Cheeto Benito, or in support of someone like Luigi on Facebook?

Poe’s Law, bud.

No matter how ridiculous a parody someone attempts to create of the grip being mocked, there are members of that group who unironically believes crazier things.

Think I read some study several years back (probably following the Trump-Clinton one) that concluded almost everyone always perceives their “team’s” candidate as having won the debate, and the number of voters swayed by a stellar performance from another candidate is negligible.

Yeah, they’re pretty damn pointless…

From the outside, it actually kinda looks like you’re an entire civil war away from the next election…
