So a cruise ship's passengers and crew are infected with whatever. What do you propose?

Immediate air strike using AGM-158C LRASM.

Yes there definitely is a difference and i am against forcing people to do something, but i still think those three keywords mentioned make sense.

Freezing bank accounts goes too far. But I doubt that Trudeau seriously wants to declare himself a dictator or something, it looks more like he overreacted to a situation that threatened to become overwhelming.
Remember what happened in Italy short after the outbreak.

No because he is quite happy with the power that he already has. These protesters were definitely not his supporters. By using the Emergency Measures Act (formerly known as the War Measures Act) he treated these citizens as enemies of the state. I was never more ashamed to be a Canadian. Yea, a bit of an overreaction to put it mildly. I have no use for the little jerk.

Speaking of adverse reactions. Maybe this is what happens when people following the fear inject themselves with experimental drugs

Joe Biden sold nearly ONE MILLION oil barrels from emergency reserves to state-owned Chinese gas giant that Hunter's private equity firm had $1.7B stake in

Wonder what would have happened if President Trump had done something like that?

US refineries are running at 95% capacity making gas. This sale will lower oil prices and eventually pump prices.

The sales to Europe and China are done in part as an effort to stop rising prices. But it’s a temporary band-aid because it only works if we continue selling our strategic reserves. Strategic reserves are there for a reason, like umm, national emergencies. We could end up shooting ourselves in the foot. All because a certain political party sees no problem placing our national security in jeopardy so they can look good before mid-terms

Gulf Coast refineries are operating at 97.9 percent. Continually running at or near peak to meet demand isn’t healthy either. One accident and the price of oil will shoot right through the roof unlike anything you’ve ever seen before. And Europe and China will have our oil. Our problem doesn’t have jack to do with price gouging, oil companies are not re-investing in new refinery’s and rigs because government regulation gets in the way. That and what’s the point in investing in the future when you’re being run out of business by so called green energy.

What if we did as the Brits do, and expected our presidents to resign?

I’m not going to play coy here, so let’s get right to it: I have in mind our current president and the one who came right before him.
Republicans never had confidence in Joe Biden but now, if you believe the leaks to the press, even a lot of Democrats have had enough. It’s not sex scandals they’re concerned about, as it was finally in Johnson’s case; it’s Biden’s ability to lead the country, his competence and, yes, questions about his mental state.

We'd be surprised.

MaDef · 07-09-22, 09:55 PM

if that happened it would be jumping out of the frying pan into the fire. Biden is bad enough. Putting Harris in charge is enough to give me nightmares.

Sweet dreams.....

NZZ quotes Kamela Harris with having said on CBS that Biden plans for a second term.

I thought I did not read this right.
