While Canadians Struggle, the Liberal Government Is Focusing on Messaging - eviltoast
Canada’s housing crisis is off the charts, and half the country lives paycheck to paycheck. In a classic show of disconnect, some Trudeau Liberals think the party's greatest problem is that people don’t understand how fabulous a job they’re actually doing.

    MapleEngineer: I’m going to come over and fuck your wife.

    Rocket: The fuck you are.

    MapleEngineer: Let’s negotiate and find some middle ground. Maybe she can just give me a blowjob.

    When your opening position is absurd there is literally no room for discussion. You always take the most ridiculously extreme and absurd position. That leaves no room for reasonable discussion.

      Yeah, more like:

      • MapleEngineer - “I need to drive a nail into this piece of wood.”
      • Rocket - “Here is a hammer. It is well suited to the task.”
      • MapleEngineer - “No thanks. I tried a using a hammer to insert a screw last time and it didn’t work. Not only did it not work, but I hit my thumb and ended up in the hospital.”
      • Rocket - “Maybe it is not a nail that you need to drive, but to fasten the wood? A staple gun might be the ticket.”
      • MapleEngineer – “Buddy of a friend of a pal’s wife was bludgeoned to death by a hammer. There is no room for discussion if you are going to be so absurd.”

          Oh yeah, I forgot to add that at the end of every other reply. Sorry about the oversight.

          Anyway, if you want a demonstration of absurd, this is what has become absurd. Back to the actual topic of conversation. I believe we have some outstanding questions.

          I’m especially interested to learn which election Harper lost after having won one. Trying to wrap my head around your interesting mind further, it dawned on me that maybe you were trying to say that he was Prime Minister and then he lost that position. The trouble with that theory is that the Prime Minister is not elected in the Canadian federal election. It is an appointed position.
