It cant be a coincidence that the video ends there. Although, I cant imagine even with the rest of the context he's going to be able to convince people that he didnt buy the media.

He's screwing us with our own money. Its quite an incredible grift.

If you're looking for background or proper context in a Yoho post, you're gonna have a bad time

- He didn't 'finally' admit anything. This clip is from the Parliamentary Press Gallery Dinner. From May 4. 2019. Finally is 3 years ago????

Anyways, anyone interested in watching it for themselves, here's the full thing, 3+ hours long. Trudeau's comment that was taken out of context by Yoho is at the 39 minute mark.

I dont care at all who posted it. Thats entirely irrelevant. The person who posted the actual tweet used a cropped video.

This is baseless inflammatory garbage.

Why do I have to keep giving this ass-clown the benefit of the doubt? You dont have to work hard to make him look like an entitled idiot, he does most of the heavy lifting for you, but I'm not going to start vilifying him based on a conveniently edited bit.

It's not though, Yoho always posts misleading nonsense. You wouldn't even need context to realize Trudeau's cadence in that small clip was attempting to be funny, Yoho and the person that tweeted it are both idiots.

Context of course fills it in that yes, it's funny.

Even before I saw the link from KFF, it was pretty obvious this would have come from a Press Gallery Dinner. Anyone trying to use this as a "gotcha" is a certified moron.

Are you a UCP member? Did you vote? I'm not. There is literally absolutely nothing I could have done to influence their decision regarding Danielle Smith.

Not digging on you personally, but there are a bunch of numbskulls running around taking digs at people posting in the Federal politics threads and saying "well why arent you active in the Alberta politics threads?????"

Not realizing that the AB politics threads is essentially overrun with dogs dragging their asses across the carpet.
People gotta deflect away from the disaster that Trudeau is becoming.

Don't want to let the talk about corruption get out of hand now, as it makes the party brand look bad, and we can't have that.

You don't think we've discussed corruption in this thread? Where's the deflection?

I wonder how many out of context clips from White House correspondents' dinners and Al Smith dinners have been used as fodder for fundraising from morons.

So, the Queen is in town. Today my wife saw her royal RV parked outside of Montana's on Welton Street.

She's here to let us know that Hurricane Fiona was a hoax, and the damaged suffered was due to governmnet agents.

I'm thinking of going to her tomorrow to ask her government agents to remove the stumps from the tree they toppled over.

You and Ozy and Muta who bitch and moan about people in one political thread or the other can officially STFU and GTFO.
