We’ve capitalized everything. Why would donuts or outrage be immune?Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑23 Jan 2020, 1:54pmEntirely media generated, too.

Which benefits the scoundrels in the long-run because the stuff that does merit genuine outrage gets slotted beside the trivial shit.BostonBeaneater wrote: ↑23 Jan 2020, 11:28pmWe’ve capitalized everything.

Re: Canadian politics gets innerestin'
In retrospect, I guess the Conservatives' campaign slogan was a bit of a mouthful.

Is that right-thinking citizen too cheap to buy most of their bumper stickers or could they just not the ones that conveyed the right message and thought, "Fine, I'll write it myself"?

Just started yesterday, no? Consistent with Conservatives' demands for expressions of obedience to our betters.

Ha! Perfect. Yet still notably better than the Conservatives. Which is depressing as fuck.

Re: Canadian politics gets innerestin'
I can't remember if I posted this here before, but the Liberal Party (at any level of government) cannot help itself committing such unsophisticated, dumbass grifts every few years that inevitably lead the country to severe Tory rule. Literally, all they have to do is say "No, we will not participate in this transparent kickback scheme" and they just can't because they've bought into the "natural ruling party" invincibility nonsense. O'Toole might be worse than Harper and these fuckos are not being helpful.

Re: Canadian politics gets innerestin'
Liberals could run the country in perpetuity if they were so dumb about their arrogance. We usually vote out Conservatives when their malice overcomes our memory of the last Liberal government's corruption, but it doesn't take long for Liberals to come up with new examples of why they're contemptible. Trudeau really is a perfect leader for them—he's a generally decent guy personally, but he flat-out doesn't ever think any rules apply to him because he knows he's not bad, so what's the big deal?Inder wrote: ↑21 Oct 2020, 5:25pmI can't remember if I posted this here before, but the Liberal Party (at any level of government) cannot help itself committing such unsophisticated, dumbass grifts every few years that inevitably lead the country to severe Tory rule.
