Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

What the fuck is happening when I'm actually defending the pope and politicians like Mark Carney.
Oh, I’m still telling Carney to go fuck himself right to hell. He’s softer on trump than 10-ply toilet paper and most of the things he says correctly come a few days after his gut reaction to be a shit-heel. He’s slightly better about the US and Israel’s attacks but when they first started he promised to “unconditionally support” the US. Anything he says can’t really be agreed with because none of it is coming from a true moral highground. It’s hard agree with his words they carry no weight and are mostly lies.
Oh I agree with you and I really don't like him either. It's just that side by side with Trump he looks likes a fucking genius, but let's be real, 15 years ago this guy would have been a conservative's wet dream.
What I’m driving at is that he might wear suits that fit but it’s important to still see that he still supports 90% of the things Trump does. Things like his Davos speech or what he eventually says in response to things like the US’s attacks are not worth defending because their purpose is entirely to make people feel as if there’s just enough stability to go back to ignoring politics again.
Carney is still a conservative’s wet dream, it’s just that people are so attached to their tribalism that voters aren’t paying attention. The MPs are, though, since we’re seeing so many cross over to be Liberals.
