QuoteMaybe we deserve what we get for being pacifists.

Here are some interesting points to think about prior to 2020 election, especially to my friends on the fence, like moderate Democrats, Libertarians and Independents and the never Trump Republicans and those thinking of "walking away" from the Democratic party.

Women are upset at Trump's naughty words -- they also bought 80 million copies of 50 Shades of Gray.

Not one feminist has defended Sarah Sanders. It seems women's rights only matter if those women are liberal.

No Border Walls. No voter ID laws. Did you figure it out yet? But wait... there's more.

Chelsea Clinton got out of college and got a job at NBC that paid $900,000 per year. Her mom flies around the country speaking out about white privilege.

And just like that, they went from being against foreign interference in our elections to allowing non-citizens to vote in our elections.

President Trump's wall costs less than the Obamacare website. Let that sink in, America.

We are one election away from open borders, socialism, gun confiscation, and full-term abortion nationally. We are fighting evil.

They sent more troops and armament to arrest Roger Stone than they sent to defend Benghazi.

60 years ago, Venezuela was 4th on the world economic freedom index.

Today, they are 179th and their citizens are dying of starvation.

In only 10 years, Venezuela was destroyed by democratic socialism.

Russia donated $0.00 to the Trump campaign. Russia donated $145,600,000 to the Clinton Foundation . But Trump was the one investigated!

Nancy Pelosi invited illegal aliens to the State of the Union. President Trump Invited victims of illegal aliens to the State of the Union. Let that sink in.

A socialist is basically a communist who doesn't have the power to take everything from their citizens at gunpoint ... Yet!

How do you walk 3000 miles across Mexico without food or support and show up at our border 100 pounds overweight and with a cellphone?

Alexandria Ocasio Cortez wants to ban cars, ban planes, give out universal income and thinks socialism works. She calls Donald Trump crazy.

Bill Clinton paid $850,000 to Paula Jones To get her to go away. I don't remember the FBI raiding his lawyer's office.

I wake up every day and I am grateful that Hillary Clinton is not the president of the United States of America.

The same media that told me Hillary Clinton had a 95% chance of winning now tells me Trump's approval ratings are low.

"The problem with socialism is that sooner or later you run out of other people's money"— Margaret Thatcher

Maxine Waters opposes voter ID laws; She thinks that they are racist. You need to have a photo ID to attend her town hall meetings .

President Trump said —

"They're not after me. They're after you  I'm just in their way."

Now, go Back & Read this Again like your Future Depends upon it, Because it Does.  What say you?

So I'm on Twitter.  I don't post much and have (checks quickly) 8 followers.  But I do post under my own name and I do follow a bunch of local defence lawyers (only know of 1 other local Crown on the platform).

I posted something in response to a defence lawyer, and I got this reply:

QuoteAs a Crown prosecutor, do you get sexual pleasure from putting indigenous people in prison, or is it just some other form of sadistic pleasure? How does it feel to be in the employ of a family that is directly responsible for most historical wrongs of the past several centuries?

and

QuoteSorry if this was "uncivil," I care more about justice than the feelings of white Indian Agents.

Maybe he was just curious?  But, yeah, I myself learned the hard way that sometimes you're better off keeping your curiosities to yourself.

And what the hell is "prison"? He doesn't seem to know much about the Canadian system.

Everybody knows that what they have is gaol instead.  :P

Don't worry, Grumbler and Oex assured me these are just simple anecdotes.  There's nothing to worry about, you can go back to sleep :)

but you know, since someone asked, you can at least give you answer to languish :P
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".

I would probably reply all indignantly about the number of times I have helped and stood up for indigenous victims of crime.  Maybe tell him about the time I prosecuted a white man for murdering an indigenous man, and who the system let walk despite my best efforts.

Then I'd tell him I don't work for the Queen - I work for the lizard people who tell the Queen what to do.

yeah, I noticed that you've become allergic to the truth ever since you started teaching in the US. 

But I'm glad that you never told me my experience with union thugs were just anecdotes and not representative of a wider movement. 

I mean, it's not like the FTQ has been accused of any wrongdoing in the not so distant past.  Stuff like generalized intimidation, illegal strikes, illegal political financing, money laundering, paying buses so thugs could go and twist some arms, helping radical students so they could engage in violent protests against the government, it's all just a simple anecdote.

Thousands and thousands of little anecdotes, but still not representative of a wider leftist tolerance for violence and intimidation. :)
