They are generally quite disgusting people in all honesty and your effiminate soy drinking beta "male" PM Trudeau is a traitor to all Canadians and should be locked up forever for the harm he's done to your country.

Ho boy, the last line is where I can tell that you really need to touch grass.

You people read so much nonsense on the internet and amplify it over 1000% just like the people you claim to hate. He may have made mistakes but to outright claim that he is a traitor?! Absolutely asinine and devoid of critical thinking.

Do you know what it means to be a traitor?! It's to act out of his own interest instead of the benefit of the country, usually through illegal means. A party that makes flagrant mistakes and fails to predict the economic turmoil of a country, is not a traitorous act in itself.

You want me to give you a flagrant example of being a traitor?! I'll put you up on game:

The now defunct President of South Korea Yoon Suk Yeol that declared Martial Law in December 2024 out of his own interests, as an attempt of a self-coup. Not only did the entire country overthrow the coup, they went on him relentlessly, impeached him twice, and arrested him with most (if not all) his supporters.

If you want to declare Trudeau a traitor by your frame of logic, then you better hold Trump under the same light, else you are being severely hypocritical.

You are literally no better than the so called left of GBATempers you are condemning here. Two sides of the same coin.

He pays more taxes than you'll likely make in your lifetime. You just cling to every false claim that you think makes him look bad, like any other person with TDS. The time he is purported to have paid little to taxes, was because he had already OVERPAID before that. Get your facts straight.

With Trump continually declining to release his tax returns...

But hey, Trump has more of something than most of these people being detained. Convictions. He is literally going back on his promises, and all you can claim is that people have TDS when what you're really doing is crying "Leave Trump Alone!" He doesn't know you, nor does he care about you. Your only purpose to him was your vote, a number on his tally sheet. You were a number to him.

We aren't the ones who voted for a convicted felon, found liable of rape, cheated on his wives multiple times, and has made numerous racist remarks for starters. You all really need to reevaluate your values.

Lol... you're really going to bring up racist comments while voting for and defending Biden? Clown...

Joe Biden's Timeline of Racial Comments and Actions

  • From 1971 to 1974, Biden's legal residence had a deed barring ownership by African Americans.
  • In 1974, Biden made an analogy of himself as a 29 year old in the Senate to being a "token black."
  • In 1975, Biden asked if "the only way a black man or woman can learn is if they rub shoulders with my white child?"
  • In 1977, Biden said that busing would cause his children to grow up in "a racial jungle."
  • In 1977, Biden voted against Black Justice Department nominees specifically over his opposition to busing.
  • In 1977, Biden said he asked to join the Senate Judiciary Committee specifically to lead the charge against busing.

  • In 1987, Biden "sought to appeal to white voters" by touting an award he received from George Wallace in 1973 where he praised Biden as "one of the outstanding young politicians in America."
  • During his 1988 campaign, Biden falsely claimed he was part of the civil rights movement, saying he "marched" in his "youth."
  • In 2006, Biden said, "you cannot go to a 7-11 or a Dunkin Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent."
  • In his 2007 book, Promises To Keep, Biden admitted that, as a young person, he had "no real relationships with Black people."
  • In 2007, Biden called then-Sen. Barack Obama "the first mainstream African American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy."
  • In 2010, Biden delivered a 22-minute eulogy, the longest speech, at Senator Robert Byrd's (D-WV) memorial service, calling the former KKK member a "friend," "mentor," and "guide."
  • In 2016, Biden praised segregationist Senator John Stennis as a "friend" and an "honorable" man.
  • In 2019, Biden recalled the era when "he was able to get along with segregationist senators."

  • In 2019, Biden said the Obama administration went "into the hood" of Detroit to recruit minorities.
  • In 2019, Biden claimed a major problem Black communities face is illiteracy, saying Black "parents can't read or write themselves," leaving Black attendees "shocked and frustrated."
  • In 2019, Biden said that "poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids."
  • In 2020, Biden suggested some people were able to quarantine during Covid because "some black woman was able to stack the grocery shelf."

It is really weird though. They continually throw out TDS, yet here they are with Biden living rent-free in their heads when he's no longer in the picture. Like you said, nobody is defending Biden. He's gone. But they can't let go because it's their way of defending Trump.

Yes the 20 or so examples compared to nearly 500 would be a false equivalency we might be making progress with this one folks!
 
I think all positions should be a single 6 year term personally. Too much time, energy and money are focused towards reelection.
 
DiscostewSM said:
Definitely not, no matter which side you lean. Besides, Trump would be too old, and with looking at the phrasing, it's like they intentionally designed it to prevent a certain ex-President from having a 3rd term.
Click to expand...
Yeah that's what I'm saying, mate, I'm glad he got another term, but a third one would be too much for him to handle, no matter how confident you say can do another one, and wouldn't be fair to the rest of the existing presidents

You said you weren't the ones who voted for a racist.

I showed that you did.

End of story.

Now you want to cry that our guy is more racist than your guy? Does that even matter? Now that IS a false equivalency. Trump wasn't in congress, trying to effect policy and laws for/against human rights. Biden literally was. And was demonstrably on the WRONG side of it.

And good on ya, using Wikipedia for your reference. Funny how there isn't a similar page on Wikipedia for Biden, isn't it? OR that the very first thing listed on the list is FALSE? The tenement thing was his father's company, not his. But you leftoids keep regurgitating the same bullshit, and anybody can edit Wikipedia. Hell, half of the items listed aren't even remotely racist. Did you even look at the list? There's a paragraph about him saying he was a nationalist. Not a damn thing to do with race, and you know it. He was saying, as always, that he is about America and Americans. What's listed after that? Oh yea... he didn't want to change the $20 bill. That makes him racist :rofl2:

No need for me to bother glancing at the rest of that bullshit. It was clearly written by one of you.

The time he is purported to have paid little to no taxes, was because he had already OVERPAID before that. Get your facts straight. I even overpay, because if you owe more than $1000 for 2 consecutive years (when filing your annual taxes), there are additional penalties involved. It's better to be owed a return. For this reason, people who earn in the millions, pay taxes quarterly.

In 2016, Trump paid only $750 in federal income tax, and in 2017, he paid another $750 in federal income tax

I 100% guarantee I paid more income tax than that in 2016 and 2017. You did too. He is on record for saying he tries to get out of paying taxes.

by posting this at all, you're essentially giving up that trump is racist and going "b-but your guy is racist too!!!!"
as if the post you were responding to didn't have a host of disqualifying factors attached, not just one
yeah, biden's racist. we didn't want biden, we wanted bernie sanders and the democrats fucked us over. biden also has a history of sexism, he was fucking awful on israel and he continually shortchanged an american public that needed wealth redistribution badly.

I guarantee that you don't understand the full story.

First, there are credits for paying employee medicare and social security taxes :

"But tax laws gave him one more line on which to reduce the A.M.T. Mr. Trump had $22.7 million in General Business Credit, much of it carried forward from prior years, that he could apply. The credit is a smorgasbord of tax incentives and givebacks to business owners, and in Mr. Trump’s case they ranged from credits of $322,926 for Social Security and Medicare taxes paid on employee tips to at least $1.5 million related to rehabilitating the Old Post Office in Washington." https://www.nytimes.com/2020/09/29/us/trump-750-taxes.html

And HE PREPAID in taxes also.


"In 2016 and 2017, the most recent two years covered in the personal tax records obtained by The Times, Mr. Trump requested extensions to file his individual returns. Each time, he made the required payment to the I.R.S. for income taxes he might owe — $1 million for 2016 and $4.2 million for 2017. In addition, over the years Mr. Trump has occasionally made other tentative payments, $503,982 since 2008."
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/11/02/us/politics/trump-taxes-prepay-fact-check.html

Let me know when you've paid 4.2 million in taxes.

Look at that. Your last sentence was correct. There were zero wars, and peace talks signed under Trump. Low inflation and a really good economy. The last 4 years have been a fucking dumpster fire with wars everywhere and people making less than 6 figures struggling to buy groceries. Trump's team helped get the Israel/Gaza cease-fire days before he was even sworn back in.
