The “Nazi” label is losing its significance. It’s trotted out far too often, to describe far too many people who have “mainstream” Canadian views from only 20 years ago.

If anyone believes that about 30% of the population qualifies as or is bordering on “Nazi” status, then it’s time for you to step outside and get some fresh air, maybe get off social media for few weeks.

Guys, please stop referring to the other guys holding nazi flags that we’re all talking about as “Nazi’s.” Time to get off social media and get some fresh air, because guys holding Nazi flags aren’t really Nazi’s because The Fonz very astutely said so.

Do you think I was talking about people who literally fly Nazi flags as being improperly labelled as Nazis?

Fresh air won’t do you any good, you need a lobotomy.

Did I think you were talking about the type of Nazi’s everyone else was talking about when you joined the conversation to give your two cents about Nazi’s?

Yeah, that’s how conversations work.

“Get off social media! Now excuse me while I go on social media to source something to share on another social media.”

of course he does, he has to do what the lunatics (who made him the weakest speaker ever) want him to do. But that's what happens: elect clowns, expect a circus.

So they're going to have an inquiry without voting on it? Weak.

Yeah it sounds like that's what the House is going to do.. they're going to have an impeachment inquiry but they aren't going to vote on having it, because they know they don't have the votes. But McCarthy likely has to do it to keep his job.

So they'll just keep coming up with stuff that sounds bad but isn't, or stuff that Hunter did but because they have the same last name it MUST apply to Joe too.

But unless they really find something they won't have the votes to impeach let alone the votes to convict and remove from office.

And really would Dems be so sad if they had to find a new candidate?

If I had been a Democrat in congress during the speaker vote, I would have traded any investigation/inquiry the Trumpers wanted to do for votes for Jefferies as speaker. What is there to lose? Have your investigations, if they come up empty they look foolish, if they come up with real issues, then impeach the dude, who cares?

Losing Biden as a candidate would, IMO, be the worst thing for Republicans. Democrats are begging for someone else to vote for.
