I'm cool with it.

Denmark, presumably.

Imagine taking direct flights to a sun destination with no customs, passports or any of that annoying stuff. Pay in Canadian dollars and receive Canadian healthcare when you get drunk and fall and bash your head.

It is honestly impressive how these globalist elitists were able to con the Murican everyman.

This is what surprises me the most.

Like are they really all so utterly stupid or willfully ignorant that they can't see that Trump and his entire family/extended family/friends/friends of friends are eating them alive?

LBJ explained it a half a century ago, and nothing has seemingly changed.

With climate change, Calgary will be the new California

We are currently experiencing our coldest summer of the next 25 years and it's been like 30C (high 80s) for weeks.

The US has always been susceptible to conmen for some reason, its religeous history is just one long serious of shysters fleecing the rubes, from the Mormons to Jim Jones and Scientology, pyramid schemes and snake oil salesmen are american inventions, hell the central character of its most beloved children's book, The Wizard of Oz is nothing more than a huckster.

He has sure spent his post baseball career on the wrong side of everything. I guess he had to recover all the money he lost on that video game company/scam.

$115 million is career earnings and a current networth of $1 million.

Woof.

I'm not sure that Bannon qualifies as being the traditional "elite". I guess that depends on perspective. He seems like something of an outsider to me.

On the other hand, what I find impressive about the globalist elites is that they have convinced most Americans (and seemingly many Canadians), that one party or the other is more guilty. In fact both are.

The DNC carries the water for the "globalist elites" just like everyone else.

It's a heads I win, tails you lose situation, just with the GOP and the Dems.

Ah yes, the both sides many sides argument.

Been a while since I heard that, guess it's time again.
