    Shapiro needs to break a baseball bat in half and shove it down his throat until he can’t see it anymore.

    Maybe then he’ll be worth listening to.

    Threatening a foreign citizen (and former PM no less) with

    1. Invasion of his home country
    2. Expelling him from that country
    3. Forcing him into manual labor in another country (which also is currently independent)

    That is insane, even as a joke.

        I find it hilarious that the little bitch-boy thinks he has any ground to speak to a respected world leader who served as PM for just shy of a decade.

        Also, Trudeau in all his good-natured gentleness would absolutely fuck Shapiro up one-on-one.

      It’s always “I’m just joking bro” to find the other shitty people who “get the joke” until it’s no longer a joke.

    I didn’t expect that from Shapiro. I have plenty of criticisms of Shapiro but I did not expect him to threaten the former head of a foreign, Democratic Government, a long time ally. Is this real?

      Reset your expectations.

      Not only is this real, he also went on to say that the threat was only valid if PP didn’t win. This is public record and you can verify with a web search on multiple media outlets.

      This is who Danielle Smith pals around with at taxpayer expense.

      Sorry but isn’t this the inevitable result of the words and ideals he and other conservative flatulence mouthpieces keep off-gassing? Don’t words mean things, and don’t those things imply concrete action or intent? Maybe we should have been hearing the intent.

      Personally, I am Jack’s complete lack of surprise.

      Ever read anything by Terry Brooks? He had a series of modern fantasy books where the world is basically ending, demons walk amongst us, that kinda thing. Anyway, servants of the void who “sold their soul” were known as Once-Men. As in they were human once, but not anymore. I always found that rather fitting…

          He’s one of my favorite authors; I’ll always recommend reading anything by Terry Brooks!

          Have you heard of the Shanarra series? There was a TV series some years back based on the books that aired on MTV. Plus just a whole bunch of books he wrote. Anyway, Shanarra is a fantasy setting in the general style of Tolkien, but with lots of cool unique twists. Anyway, in the books he hints that the world used to be a lot like ours, but then apocalyptic wars reawoke magic while science and technology of course were lost. Eventually he did write I think two trilogies that start in a near modern alternate Earth and describes the series of events that transform that start into the fantasy setting he’d established previously.

          Oh, and recently he apparently blew up the world of Shanarra for good! Like, on a cosmic scale the bad guys win I guess, so game over? I dunno I haven’t had a chance to read the last trilogy yet so no spoilers!

          If you’re new to the series, he recommends starting with Sword of Shanarra. But if you want to read in the order of chronological events, then you should start with Running with the Demon.

    I wonder what the US will do with their Russian shills after this trump nonsense is over. I mean, at some point you gotta recognize traitors that are trying to destroy your country by lying to everyone, or in the case of this turd, yell over everyone with their lies

        Yes and… the 2016 DNC fuckup was when it escalated. But the momentum started with Reagan and nobody took their foot off the gas until Obama. Centrist dems definitely overcorrected and we ended up with Trump the first time.

          Reagan’s success was convincing the Democrats to under-correct and fully buy-into trickle-down neoliberalism for decades. That way, when people get fed up with it, a Republican gets to claim to be a third option against all those mainstream globalists who’s going to bring jobs back to America. The marks don’t recognize it was the Republican’s who started it in the first place.

            Absolutely this. Bill Clinton was Reagan lite and it wasn’t until Obama’s grass roots campaign that the centrist Democrats were challenged. Hillary thought she could do what Bill did and appeal to “moderate Republicans” and that backfired because she alienated the left of the party and Bernie picked up that thread and ran with it.

      When this Trump nonsense is over, the US will become an autonomous region of Russia and there’s plenty of space in Siberia for those who disagree.
