Canada purchasing 16 new fighter jets out of current budget, minister says https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/f35-canada-air-force-bill-blair-1.7216520 CBC by Murray Brewster - I wonder if this is new or was it already planned, or are we paying for the jets to prove to that we are trying to reach 2%. Not sure how to take this story. It sounds like we don't have enough fighter pilots to fly them.

My reason for moving: When Trump got in, I said to Mr. Laffy, "He'll now have the courts. We can't overcome a lot of that." This is what I was referring to:

: upholds 's congressional map, reversing a lower court decision that struck down the map for racial gerrymandering.

The Court also makes it harder to fight against future racial gerrymandering. https://www.democracydocket.com/cases/south-carolina-redistricting-challenge/

@GottaLaff according to news article i read he might be eligible for release in 90 days...and as far as jail goes it sounds pretty comfortable. Which guess is fine...given the crime is contempt.

@GottaLaff Best of luck to you and your family! The majority of my family is American but my brother and I were born in Toronto. So we've lived in both countries but definitely raised in Canada. My Dad is in Victoria, my Mom in Winnipeg, with me and my brother moved to Florida some time ago, but he occasionally thinks about returning to Canada due to politics - he has 3 kids so they keep him their for now.

Cheers!

I’m a Porter voter, will obviously support Schiff in the general, but Garvey shouldn’t even be in this damn race. He’s awful.

Excellent idea to write the Thanks for providing that link. I explained that the People of the United States need the decision much sooner than April 22. And that Article IV of the constitution states that "no one, not even the President or Congress, can be above the law."

US voters:

Have you voted for a Republican...

crcordray,

@dancinyogi The cavate to this is that the republican I voted for was in a very low level office in Orange County, CA. I've never voted for a republican for anything at the state or federal level. Having said that I do my due diligence and research the positions of all the candidates for each office I vote for.
