factfiend.com/john-mccain-was-a-huge-badass-during-the-vietnam-war/ >In 1967 McCain was hit by a missile while piloting a plane during a bombing run over Hanoi, after being hit, McCain’s jet was sent hurtling towards the ground at several hundred miles per hour, forcing him to eject from the plane. The force of the ejector seat, which had to compete with both the spinning of the flaming aircraft and the weight of McCain’s heaving, pendulous, cast iron nutsack, shattered bones in McCain’s arms and legs before flinging him into a lake. Despite breaking both of his fucking arms McCain was able activate his life vest to avoid drowning, a few minutes later he was dragged roughly out of the lake by angry North Vietnamese soldiers who proceeded to break his shoulder before stabbing him in the ankle and groin with bayonets. Just read that sentence again so that you fully understand it, Senator John McCain was stabbed in the dick during the Vietnam was before being sent to a POW camp.

>In remarks Trump wanted to be “off the record,” Trump told Bloomberg News reporters on Thursday, according to a source, that he is not making any compromises at all in the talks with Canada — but that he cannot say this publicly because “it’s going to be so insulting they’re not going to be able to make a deal.”

PROBLEM WITH THIS NAFTA TALKS:
-MEXICO IS NOW IN THE POSITION WHERE THE CURRENT PRESIDENT WILL NOT SIGN THE NEW NAFTA DEA; INCOMING PRESIDENT AMLO WILL HAVE TO SIGN IT (AND IT IS NOT CLEAR IF HE WILL SIGN IT)
-US-MEXICO ANNOUNCEMENT IS NOT COMPLAINT WITH NAFTA RENEGOTIATION RULES
-US SAYING TALKS RESUMING WITH CANADA NEXT WEEK SHOWS THEY ARE FAR APART

It is in Canada. Some reporter picked up a binder he found on the floor of the recent Conservative party convention, and found that it was a Conservative party policy document written by some dairy lobbyist, complete with "organic" talking points for politicians to use.

Time's have changed Our kids are getting worse They won't obey their parents They just want to fart and curse
Should we blame the government? Or blame society? Or should we blame the images on TV?
No, blame Canada, blame Canada With all their beady little eyes And flappin' heads so full of lies
Blame Canada, blame Canada We need to form a full assault It's Canada's fault
Don't blame me for my son Stan He saw the darn cartoon And now he's off to join the Klan
And my boy Eric once Had my picture on his shelf But now when I see him he tells me to fuck myself
Well, blame Canada, blame Canada It seems that everything's gone wrong Since Canada came along
Blame Canada, blame Canada There not even a real country anyway
My son could've been a doctor or a lawyer rich and true Instead he burned up like a piggy on a barbecue
Should we blame the matches? Should we blame the fire? Or the doctors who allowed him to expire? Heck no
Blame Canada, blame Canada With all their hockey hullabaloo And that bitch Anne Murray too Blame Canada, shame on Canada
Let's take into account the facts. >he's a leaf >he's a Québécois(French leaf which is even worse) >he spams stale pastas for (You)s >is most likely a (((dairy farmer))) when not on Jow Forums Resources.
I did give a specific limit on hours. I said I can't do 30/35, I can do 20-25. And this week was good. I had 4 6hr shifts just like we discussed. Next week I have 1 6hr shift and a 9hr shift back to back (Friday, Saturday). I'm just going to wait and see what my schedule is the next-next week and if it's still retarded I'll talk to management. I obviously understand if it's a one time thing, even though I laid out specifics on what I could and could not do.

They're in a tough position. This is complicated terribly by Canada's "leadership" which consists of a "male feminist" who likes to play dress up, a poo in loo, and a raging libtard THICC ass broad.

I'm a bit worried for Canadian citizens but at the same time happy that the left wing government is blundering so hard, I don't know if it would be enough to turn the tide though. Lots of horrible negotiating and diplomacy is what it boils down to.
there's literally no way they can spin this that it looks good for him
>McCain was then transferred to infamous Hanoi Hilton POW camp where his captors gave him a simple ultimatum, tell them everything he knew or they’d beat the living shit out of him. McCain told his captors to fuck right off.
>It was only after weeks of beatings, torture and interrogation that McCain agreed to surrender any information to his captors, in return for basic medical treatment that would stop him from dying.
