Millhouse is too nice for this rightwing turd.

Plus he doesn't wear glasses anymore.

I mean Trudope has a nice ring to it, but he is no Peepee.. and I'd take Helmet Hair over Busboobs any day. And you'd be absolutely Nutley to forget about commenting on Singh's jewelry.

To be clear, I laugh every time someone uses "busboobs". I just do it privately and don't say it publicly myself (don't want to damage the reputation as a very sophisticated, articulate poster that I have carefully cultivated over the years).

The origins of that nickname come from Reddit, haha. Glasses or not - once a Millhouse, always a Millhouse.

Lap it up kids.

How's your French? Amazing I bet.

I won't type out Peepee on a serious post.. but I do giggle on the inside like an 8 year old when I type out PP.

Some nicknames are better than others, clearly.

"Justine" was sexist

"Trudope" was actually a decent one

"peepee" will always make me laugh, in a 2nd grader sense; otherwise not very original

"Milhouse" is great. Gen X, Millenial context. really just calling him nerdy, but who didnt love Milhouse as character. And he does look like him.

Carny - a bit too on the nose; and whats wrong with a Carny? A bit classist for the "people's party"

Spendshi - meh.

Marlaina - i get it. it makes sense in the context, but too insidery.

Busboobs - peak nickname. disassociated from her name; just edgy enough, while not crossing into sexism; easily explainable with one picture.

any others?

I can't explain it, but I always found "Low Energy Jeb" way funnier than it objectively should be.

The Central Canada media are losing their minds over Smith/Alberta. It's really funny.

Since you seem like the kind of guy that needs things drawn in crayon to at least partially comprehend, and since that option is not at my disposal here, I will give alternative means a shot.

circle jerk
nounNorth American
1.
informal
a situation in which a group of people engage in self-indulgent or self-gratifying behavior, especially by reinforcing each other's views or attitudes.

Here comes the crayon part. When someone says "circle jerk" in this context, they don't actually mean what you have apparently interpreted the phrase to mean... Though, judging by the extremely defensive response, maybe it should have.

Never thought I'd be in the position I'd actually have to explain that to a "functioning" human being, but here we are....

The lady doth protest too much, methinks.

I’ll put your name down for the next one too, since you’re a fan.

Kinda like how the deplorables are losing it over Carney? lol

You know she is going to tank the cons in Ontario right? Just compare PP to Smith and that 20% lead in the polls is over.

Albertans should be the most frustrated over her actions. Many who I’ve spoken with(including mostly UCP supporters) that understand even the basic fundamentals of negotiation are frustrated. If her goal is to try and use her current position as leverage in negotiations with the other provinces, in my opinion she has chosen the highest risk option with no additional potential of reward.

yes, I agree with this. I think she should have been quiet, and taken a package to the ROC with demands in exchange for keeping export tariffs on the table as a discussion point.

Actually using them would then be a whole different package.

In hockey terms, she should have asked for two first rounders just to not say what she did. Then if they actually want to put tariffs on, she would ask for 5 first rounders.

This also assumes that Alberta would get ALL of the revenue created by the oil export tariff.

In my industry they are definitely not loading up, but we also don't sell raw materials.

I'm sure anyone buying softwood lumber down south is probably buying like crazy to get ahead of it.
