In this case, the "opposing view" is siding with a mass murderer, protector of child sex traffickers, fraudster, aspiring dictator, and adjudicated sexual abuser.

Maybe you'll excuse us for not having much patience for it.

Again, you said “nothing but drive bys” so a couple of examples isn’t going to win you this.
Basically everything on the first two pages are drive-bys. The posts don't generate or contribute to a discussion and are just superficial quips. That's exactly what a drive-by is.

Have you also seen that one perspective is more concerned with the people doing monumental harm, not only to their country, but possibly the world?

Omar might be corrupt, and Pelosi definitely is, but neither are protecting a global cabal of pedophiles, or stealing money from the Treasury, or causing people to starve and die to protect their rich buddies and their interests.

I see. You don’t know what a drive-by actually is. Sorry for assuming you did.

Not worth my mental health to watch a mentally unwell pedophile talk nonsense for 2 hours. But for you watching......how many times has he blamed Biden for, well, everything? I'm guessing it's a lot?

We are on the cusp of a new record. No President in history has ever rambled on for more than 2 hours during a SOTU address. I think we might be witnessing history here. Fingers crossed

Sorry Johnny, I totally missed this. You mean we wouldn't have given MacKinnon the Order of Canada if he hit the open net? I guess we were really regarded as an unbeatable hockey nation in America's eyes.

Google AI says:

[Quote]
A "drive-by post" refers to a quick, superficial comment or post made on social media, forums, or news sites by someone who does not engage in follow-up discussion. Often associated with "drive-by media" or "trolls," these posts are typically designed to drop an opinion, rumor, or disruptive comment and immediately leave, often without providing context or replying to replies. [Quote]

That's pretty much exactly what was going on. Trading barbs should not be considered discussion if that is what makes you believe there wasn't a lot of drive-bys being posted. Maybe my standard for discussion is too high for you.

I'm so confused.. are you suggesting that Canada actually would have given MacKinnon (or any other player) the Order of Canada?!

Hellebuyck isn't really getting the medal of freedom is he? That has to be a joke, no?

One hour and 47 minutes.

I agree. And no, driving 20 under in the left lane is not a hobby.

You're summarizing the entire deep state and congressional MO since WWII. The current Brookfield guy leading Canada can be lumped in along with them. The guy speaking tonight for 2 hours literally wrote it into law to release the entire Epstein files when Biden and Obama sat on the files for 10 years. All the evidence is now free to be utilized so if he's guilty, then by all means book him and charge him and indict him on actual insurrection while you're at it. This is the best reality TV I've ever experienced and truly fascinating how mentally manipulated people have become. I'll go make more popcorn and keep my sanity intact.

Honestly what kind of intelligent discussion is expected after watching a racist pedophile go on a 2 hour long hate filled dementia rant?

Should we fact check him and post 2000 corrections? Isn’t it easier to just say everything he said was a lie and the opposite is true?

there’s literally no worthwhile discussion after watching the president of the United States spew hatred and racist rhetoric in front of the whole nation while a chamber full of the country’s most powerful politicians cheer him on.

Anyone who comes into this thread and expresses support for that kind of behaviour deserves to be ridiculed.
