The first I heard of Taylor Swift's engagement, was CNN asking Trump for his reaction. His reaction was "I wish them luck".

This is probably fake but there legit are scammers doing that sort of thing. There was a case of scammers calling grandparents and saying their grandchildren needed bail money

Everyone I personally know in the Untied States who could vote, I'm pretty sure voted for Kamala Harris

If you ever think voting is pointless....remember how dangerously close we were to having Poilievre as prime minister

What about States rights?

Would be funny if NORAD's Santa tracker says Santa was denied entry into the Untied States. Except I wouldn't want to upset the children.

And why, pray tell, will he be needing immunity if he won't be doing anything wrong?

The World Cup is gonna be a shitshow if it isn't canceled altogether

Yes, I support it. Science has shown the government can afford it and it will save them money in the long run. If society has the resources to ensure everyone's basic needs are met, do it.

The argument against it is that people won't work if they aren't forced to. I think people want to work. This would enable people to have their basic needs met first so they can build a career comfortably.

I believe it should happen and I believe it eventually will happen in Canada, but it will take a lot longer than it should.

THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT?

the right wing just doesn't want minorities to have anything good. It isn't that they think being inclusive somehow impedes on their rights, they just think inclusion is bad on principle

My favourite is the story that there was mass panic over a radio broadcast of War of the Worlds where everyone thought a real alien invasion was happening. I heard this story as a kid and really thought this was a cruel prank played by the radio station.

In reality, they made it clear at the beginning of the broadcast, and twice during, that it was fictional. Not that many people were listening and most of the people who were, were aware it wasn't real. A few idiots freaked out and it somehow turned into a story of mass panic. It was propaganda by newspapers to discredit radio.
