Spy, of course, you meant this as a slur against Democrats, but this one backfired on you because it just shows the complete and utter stupidity of Republicans, the GOP, the right, the far right, magamites, conservatives and, of course, the psychopath. 

So says the self proclaimed non-partisan. LMAO

Trudeau only holds a Minority Government.  He'll have a rough time trying to get legislatiion to pass. A criminal would still get guns regardless of what laws are in place. I guess Trudeau has never heard of the black market trade.

Now would be a good time for the other parties to take the Trudeau Government down with a non-confindence vote.

But Trudeau is very polite and well spoken. I thought that's what you wanted in a politician. You mean you're actually interested in policies?:huh:

Polite I highly doubt.  He's like that when in front of the cameras or posing for a photo-op. All other times he's a prick.  Even his own wife can't stand him so they separated. She only travels along with him on special events as it would not look good on him showing up alone.

As long as there's demon 😈 crats there will be crimes & murders 

Not even you could possibly believe that. The Democrats are the only ones trying to actually do something about gun control and gun culture in this country. All the Republicans can do is say, oh, the problem is not guns, the problem is doors. My hand to God, both Abbott and the psychopath said that.

Republicans only seem to want to encourage more shootings and murders, as long as it's not them or the elite who fund them getting shot.

Donald Trump’s 2016 election conspiracy theory just took a big hit

 

For years – literally – Donald Trump has insisted that Hillary Clinton engaged in a purposeful conspiracy designed to keep him out of the White House.

The probe into whether Russia sought to influence the 2016 election (it did) and whether it colluded with the Trump campaign to do so was regularly described by the former President as “the single greatest Witch Hunt in American history.”

The real story, according to Trump, was how the counterintelligence investigation into Russia began – a story that special counsel John Durham was going to get to the bottom of.

At the heart of what Trump called the “crime of the century” was an allegation by Durham that Michael Sussman, a lawyer for Clinton’s campaign, had lied to the FBI about his own interests in passing along a tip about Trump and Russia.

On Tuesday, Sussman was found not guilty of the lying charge by a federal jury. As CNN wrote:

“The verdict is a major defeat for Durham and his Justice Department prosecutors, who have spent three years looking for wrongdoing in the Trump-Russia probe.”

It remains to be seen when Durham will conclude his probe and whether he will bring charges against anyone else.

But what is clear is that the Sussman allegation, which was by far the most high-profile output of Durham’s probe to date, amounts to a huge swing and a miss by the special counsel.

The Point: It’s always been hard to line up Trump’s wild claims about the seriousness of the Durham investigation with its output. Never has that disparity been more stark than today

Pope Francis sends 'powerful  message' by elevating liberal bishop over archbishop who banned Pelosi from communion

Pope Francis on Sunday sent the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) a clear and strong rebuke by elevating the Bishop of San Diego to Cardinal, just days after the Archbishop of San Francisco’s repeated and very public attack against Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.

Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone ten days ago banned Speaker Pelosi from receiving Holy Communion, one of the Catholic Church’s sacred sacraments, despite the Vatican’s and the Pope’s insistence the Eucharist not be politicized. Cordileone says he did so because of her pro-choice stance on abortion. But as Pelosi remarked, the Catholic Church has never banned anyone from communion for supporting the death penalty.

Not only did Cordileone, a right-wing activist who has refused to be vaccinated against COVID-19, ban Speaker Pelosi from taking communion, he did so extremely publicly. Cordileone went as far as to post his letter to Pelosi on Twitter, calling her stance on abortion a “most serious scandal,” and a “grave evil.” He then appeared on EWTN, a Catholic news cable network to defend his decision, and even posted that interview on social media. Seven days after his very public rebuke of Pelosi, he again chastised her on Twitter, writing that she “has strong opinions on what the Church teaches but she is wrong. And that is part of why I had to act.”

Pope Francis has made clear no one should be banned from communion, certainly not for political reasons.

“What must the pastor do?” Pope Francis said last year, The New York Times noted when a reporter asked him about another Catholic, President Joe Biden and his stance on abortion. “Be a pastor, don’t go condemning. Be a pastor, because he is a pastor also for the excommunicated.”

“I have never refused the eucharist to anyone,” Pope Francis also told reporters.

On Sunday, in that apparent strong rebuke against Cordileone, Pope Francis announced he is elevating a lower-ranking bishop, progressive Robert McElroy of San Diego, to Cardinal, a position over Cordileone’s.

“The choice of Bishop McElroy is the biggest surprise of this consistory [the council of cardinals] for the church in the United States,” reports the Jesuit publication America. “A graduate of Harvard, Stanford and the Pontifical Gregorian University, Bishop McElroy has demonstrated that he is one of the strongest supporters of the pope’s vision of church among the American bishops since Francis appointed him to be bishop of San Diego in March 2015. By choosing him to be a cardinal, instead of others, Pope Francis is sending a powerful message to the American bishops and church.”

In reporting McElroy’s elevation, The San Francisco Chronicle adds that Cordileone has engaged in a “very public campaign against Pelosi and abortion rights as a whole — in October, he started digital and radio ads urging Catholics to pray to change the minds of Pelosi and other politicians who support abortion rights.”

One year ago this month Bishop McElroy wrote in America, “The Eucharist is being weaponized for political ends. This must not happen.”

He added: “The proposal to exclude pro-choice Catholic political leaders from the Eucharist will bring tremendously destructive consequences.”

Und wieder schreibt Spying am Thema vorbei. Es ging hier um den Unfug frei an Waffen zu kommen - und Spying redet von Abtreibung - 2 völlig verschiedene Themen wie "Apfel" und "Birne". Unfähigkeit zum Thema zu schreiben, da fehlt es einfach an Intellekt.
