So the trick to getting away with doing shit like this is to just be open about it? Weird. If that was the case, then why not give these Democrats a pass, as well? They aren't exactly hiding it either.

Or are you just getting these four mixed up with the 200 others that didn't support this legislation?

I'm fine calling out the 2% of Democrats that vote against their own constituents interests. But what I find hilarious, is the total lack of focus on the fact that 100% of Republicans are behind this.

This is what Chomsky was talking about when he wrote manufacturing consent. The framing here is massively deceptive, to the point of being completely backwards...and folks just eat it up this way. They swallow this narrative whole, and spit it back up for others to swallow.

Well, yeah. Just look at it. Why would anyone make that?

So, even more evidence of insider trading? Too bad they cut funding to all the agencies responsible for dealing with this kind of corruption.

I love how they never once mention in the article that Republicans wrote the bill, proposed it, and 100% of them voted in favor of it.

But, despite all that...the headline still reads, "Democrats passed it".

Talk about learning all the wrong lessons.

Sounds like they're running out of shit, man.

Just smash. It will be satisfying.

"Leverage" doesn't mean you can just carve up someone else's country and give parts of it away.

Kowalski, analysis!!

JFC. I can't believe there are still folks out there that fall for this crap.

That's good...because I can never actually read the Globe and Mail.
