There’s a certain kind of aging provocateur who can’t imagine losing on the merits, so every loss becomes proof of discrimination.

Hopefully, that little chuckle at the end from Dokoupil was nothing but the sound of the last of his dignity leaving his body.
Tony Dokoupil: "Mr. President, thank you very much. For the record, I do think that I'd have this job even if the others guys won."
Donald Trump: "Yeah, but at a lesser salary."
[Dokoupil then giggles as they wrap up the segment.]
A CBS News staffer merely reacted with this: "HAHAHAHAHA"

This is an act of self-harm to Canada. Especially coming at a time when the United States is destroying its own statistical capacity and reliable data has never been more needed.
It's another signal that this Liberal government sees no value in the work of government. Utter, utter foolishness.

If you won't bring severe consequences for these relentless crimes against humanity, if you won't even consider it, if you won't even try then what is the point of you? Not just as a politician; as a human being.
I want these fuckers prosecuted. I will not vote for a candidate who shies away from this.
A teenage boy was walking home in Minneapolis yesterday when four masked men jumped out of a van & questioned him - with no parent or guardian present.
He was bundled into the van & taken away.
Bystanders heard the boy say: “Can I just go home?”
I don’t know how America comes back from all this.

The US and other countries face aging, shrinking populations. Conservatives have shaped debate over the issue. Some liberals say it's time for progressives to weigh in.
