US Erection 12 *AND* 16 *AND* 20 *AND* 22 *AND* 24

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

You should choose B. Cry.

Half of America has been saying for at least a year now that Google is playing politics (and to a lesser extent Youtube too).

Cry Per, because the truth is coming out...

More like Cohen's lawyer caught lying - if that is the case.

And I'm actually more inclined to think Cohen lied to the senate, then told his lawyer the truth, then the lawyer hinted at the truth, then he was reminded that Cohen had said something else to the senate and backpaddled, so that his client doesn't have to face charges for lying to the senate... :drink:
Glad you can see that Cohen & Co do nothing but lie.
Considering that he has been one of Trump's closest allies for 20+ years, I would expect no less.

Well, probably because they're frustrated about reality having a well established liberal bias.
But there are many search engines. If they're not happy with google, they can switch to bing or yahoo or something.
Bing, perhaps, because Trump likes saying that. Then again, the name yahoo is a good fit for many of his followers. :drink:

Well so far it is, which actually makes me happy, but it seems there are people in the white house who think they can dictate what algorithms a search engine should use.

Guess they're not all that familiar with the first amendment of the American constitution. :|

It seems they are now trying to deport American citizens:
In some cases, passport applicants with official U.S. birth certificates are being jailed in immigration detention centers and entered into deportation proceedings. In others, they are stuck in Mexico, their passports suddenly revoked when they tried to reenter the United States. As the Trump administration attempts to reduce both legal and illegal immigration, the government's treatment of passport applicants in south Texas shows how U.S. citizens are increasingly being swept up by immigration enforcement agencies.

Juan said he was infuriated by the government's response. "I served my country. I fought for my country," he said, speaking on the condition that his last name not be used so that he wouldn't be targeted by immigration enforcement.

First they came for the Muslims, and I did not speak out -
Because I was not a Muslim.

Then they came for the Hispanics, and I did not speak out ...

Yeah, you can fill in the blanks. :drink:

Why would I believe anything he says? :eh:
In his first year as President, Trump made 2,140 false claims, according to the Post. In just the last six months, he has nearly doubled that total to 4,229. In June and July, he averaged sixteen false claims a day. On July 5th, the Post found what appears to be Trump’s most untruthful day yet: seventy-six per cent of the ninety-eight factual assertions he made in a campaign-style rally in Great Falls, Montana, were “false, misleading or unsupported by evidence.”

"What will happen if Trump slaps a 25 per cent tariff on Canadian-made cars?
It would be ‘pretty disastrous’ for this country, say experts. But Americans would pay a steep price, too."

Good post.

There are no winners in a trade war. It's like a chicken race where neither car swerves.
The only way you win, would be that your opponent's car is even more demolished than yours, but make no mistake about it - both cars will suffer damage. You just have to hope that you survive.

It's from the Washington Post.

Weren't they the ones who exposed Nixon's wrongdoings to the public?

No, it's more like it's Basic Economics 101.

For what it's worth, I do hold a master's degree in business administration and economics.

When the guy with all the cards calls the other party's bluff he makes everyone realize the oxymoron of free trade agreements.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.
