Here ya go idiots

you're welcome

Try not to dwell too much on the fact that "a routine abortions rights case finds its way to the highest court in the land" because everyone seems to think a President gets to decide this, and then a few people think his SC appointments decide this, as if a "socially liberal" Supreme Court is the reason why we've been doing the right thing politically since the 70s.

can they just outlaw it in all 50 states?

They can't just outlaw it. Well I guess they can, but that's not how it will work here. I think if anything it will get thrown back to the states where they will individually make their own decisions on it

Rejections are relatively uncommon; the Senate has explicitly rejected twelve Supreme Court nominees in its history. The most recent rejection of a nominee by vote of the full Senate came in 1987, when the Senate refused to confirm Robert Bork.

If you want to quote me, do so by refuting what I just posted as to how this actually works. Your post that you're referencing here was not one that I responding to.

I'm confused about why the stock market is going to implode and wipe out the retirement savings of a lot of the older working white folks. I thought Trump was going to be good for the economy because he is a smart, successful rich guy.

Aboriginals make up 17 percent of the incarcerated population despite making up less than 3 percent of the overall. They have health statistics comparable to haiti. They make .60 on the dollar compared to white Canadians.

You are so bad at this that you can't even get your facts straight trolling me when I make it SO EASY

It wasn't "locked" it was deleted, which resulted in a poll with ALL choices replaced by a poll with only 2. Kind of like politics back in the day, compared to politics today, technically speaking, of course, since about what? 20? people were on the ballot last night but only 2 get more than 5%. If change in that regard lead to the ridiculousness of what you morons have with your Labour party getting so much traction I'd pray for death.

I obviously agree with the first part of this (see my post above), but its not about not having black people or minorities. From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demogr...ity_population

* 20% of the country is a visible minority
* An additional 4.3% is aboriginal

1 in 4 people being a visible minority / aboriginal isn't insignificant.

In America, doing this means you're an emasculated hetero married man. As a divorcee, I'm speaking from experience.

The rest suggests you have no idea about the current state of Abortion in most of America today.

I'm going to sleep after I finish this breakfast. Pretty awesome that either this part of the forum or this thread, specifically is mod'd as it is. I'm shocked I'm still able to post here. But it's ironic because I expect to basically be done posting here now anyway (meaning by choice rather than by force)

I'm so ****ing glad I'm Canadian today. Most patriotic I've ever felt. We have issues to be sure but we don't have Trump.

I definitely think Canada is less racist than the US right now. More accepting of other people's cultures/practices than in the US. I don't really see how anyone could dispute that (even acknowledging the really ****ty treatment of Aboriginals).

But my point is that a lot of the big problems in the US are institutional racism and not "**** you ******" (although this is becoming more of a problem again...). And a minority group needs to have certain characteristics for this to be a problem. So I don't think its that fundamentally Canadians are better people. I think they just aren't exposed to the same circumstances.

After you Trumpkins are done gloating - and don't get me wrong, you are totally justified in gloating and laughing at the libtards - but after you're done with that, could you perhaps give me a reason to not be ashamed and terrified?

It looks like the GOP had strong operations on WI. They turned out their vote.
