People engaged in peaceful protest have a right to do so in a democracy.

Are you sure you want to get rid of Donald Trump?

Mike Pence, Holy Terror

There are problems with impeaching Donald Trump. A big one is the holy terror waiting in the wings.

That would be Mike Pence, who mirrors the boss more than you realize. He’s also self-infatuated. Also a bigot. Also a liar. Also cruel.

To that brimming potpourri he adds two ingredients that Trump doesn’t genuinely possess: the conviction that he’s on a mission from God and a determination to mold the entire nation in the shape of his own faith, a regressive, repressive version of Christianity. Trade Trump for Pence and you go from kleptocracy to theocracy.

That’s the takeaway from a forthcoming book by the journalists Michael D’Antonio, who previously wrote “The Truth About Trump,” and Peter Eisner. It’s titled “The Shadow President: The Truth About Mike Pence,” it will be published on Aug. 28 and it’s the most thorough examination of the vice president’s background to date.

I got an advance look at it, along with a first interview about it with D’Antonio, and while it has a mostly measured tone, it presents an entirely damning portrait of Pence. You’ve seen his colors before, but not so vividly and in this detail.

The book persuasively illustrates what an ineffectual congressman he was, apart from cozying up to the Koch brothers, Betsy DeVos and other rich Republican donors; the clumsiness and vanity of his one term as governor of Indiana, for which he did something that predecessors hadn’t and “ordered up a collection of custom-embroidered clothes — dress shirts, polo shirts, and vests and jackets — decorated with his name and the words Governor of Indiana”; the strong possibility that he wouldn’t have won re-election; his luck in being spared that humiliation by the summons from Trump, who needed an outwardly bland, intensely religious character witness to muffle his madness and launder his sins; and the alacrity with which he says whatever Trump needs him to regardless of the truth.

In Pence’s view, any bite marks in his tongue are divinely ordained. Trump wouldn’t be president if God didn’t want that; Pence wouldn’t be vice president if he weren’t supposed to sanctify Trump. And his obsequiousness is his own best route to the Oval Office, which may very well be God’s grand plan.

Trump could perform abortions in the Oval Office and Republicans would still look the other way while whistling through their assholes.

The only way this grotesque gutsack is going down is with an election loss this November.

Personally, I dont give a shit. Makes no difference whether it's a Democrat or a Republican in office down there, they have all screwed Canada when given the chance.

Re: COVIDD-19 'Pandemic'

Dentures are 3500-4000 for complete. Dental is not covered under our existing universal medical system. So why bring it up?

If you are in dire need, wait time for a specialist or treatment is basically zero. I know this because I have immediate family that required and received. I have first hand knowledge. Do you? Or is yours just anecdotal I heard from a friend of a freind?
Of course your first hand knowledge is also anecdotal . Our system is not perfect if it was people would not go to America or Mexico on their own dime for treatment rather to wait for months or years in Canada .

Who's is perfect?

Same reason Americans come to Canada for cheaper drugs and vaccines.

Your pal Trump says they should be allowed to mail order it from here due to price.

Re: COVIDD-19 'Pandemic'

I keep hearing it's the best thing ever.
It is great for emergencies, the competency of our physicians is as high as anywhere . The problem is we block access . Surgeons are only allowed so much operating time . Specialists are limited in patient visits . Health care is the number one line item in each province and they are all broke and all health ministries are crying for more funding .
