Yesterday, I had a conversation with a longtime Canadian friend – sadly full of TDS and Ignorance – tell me how horrible it was that the National Guard was in Memphis.
To be clear, he was criticizing people like this: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, & 7.
He is condemning them to a life of misery but yet thinks he is the noble & righteous one. In other words, a textbook Canadian Liberal.
I’ve never been there but do know of some folks from Canada who think Tennessee is beautiful and all that, though they never talk about how wonderful Memphis is, maybe that’ll change soon …

” though they never talk about how wonderful Memphis is, maybe that’ll change soon …”
Memphis seemed to be featured quite often on the TV show The First 48.
We lived in Memphis from 1998 to 2010. When we moved there crime was an issue but you could still go to Beale Street and feel safe. You didn’t wander too far off Beale, though.
Our daughter and her family still live in the area but finally were able to move east th Hardeman county. Most of the folks who can work it have moved either north or east to other counties, or to Mississippi. All with in a close commute to downtown.
The democrats have been working hard to turn Memphis into Detroit on the Mississppi. I’m glad President Trump is working to thwart that.
“ – sadly full of TDS and Ignorance – ”
Really Robert, there was no need for the repetition
Good point!
P.S. He also mocked Trump for trying to achieve peace between Israel and the Palestinians. I’m also skeptical of a long lasting peace BUT AT LEAST TRUMP IS TRYING.
Did all these TDS idiots forget Clinton’s Middle East Peace? And #Let’sGoBrandon’s? And Bush 1 & 2, for that matter?
#Trump is going to turn the place into a luxury resort. That’ll be hilarious.
A major difference between residents of the former Soviet Union and current subjects in Kanada is: Soviet residents knew they were being fed lies and BS. Kanadians, OTOH, eat up every bit of the BS the government and legacy media feeds them.
I remember a while back reading “If Trump walked on water, the headline would be ,TRUMP CAN’T SWIM.” I think it sums it up.
The pathological psychosis of the Canadian condition runs hard and deep. It manifests as an inability to solve one’s own problems and looking to the government to solve everything. Americans are rugged individualists, Canadians are Subjects of the Crown. This psychosis closely resembles female behaviors to never take responsibility, blame others for your own actions, and a general inability to fix what you have created.
This is a very accurate comment about Canada today.
I guess this is where POGG (Peace, Order and Good Government) was bound to eventually lead we Subjects to?
You maggie, are wise beyond your years!
People in this country genuinely believe 60,000+++ cute little children have been k1lled in Gaza. They hear it all the time on TV, so they believe it. If the TV said it was 20 million, they’d believe that.
I generally don’t even offer an opinion anymore. About anything. At all. Because then I’m the Bad Guy, and it’s tiresome. Then they all want to know “OMG how can you possibly think that?!!!”
That’s a half-hour conversation if you bring receipts, starting with, “there aren’t that many small children in all of Gaza. So if it -can’t- be 60,000, what are we talking about here?”
It boils down to “they’re lying and you are a sucker.” At the end of the monologue they are angry, confused, don’t want to believe me, and really want to go back to being programmed because ignorance is bliss.
If you told a rich guy in Malibu before the big fire that the city didn’t have any freakin’ water in the fire hydrant system, and they didn’t have any fire trucks that worked, and they didn’t cut the brush in the canyons at all, and his entire bazillion dollar house was at risk of a canyon fire… he would say the same thing. “OMG how can you possibly think that?!!!” Remember that news was all over the web, and all that happened was us weirdos got called racists? Remember that?
Then if you physically took that guy around to every reservoir and SHOWED him they were all empty, and then opened the hydrant in front of his bazillion dollar house and found it to be bone dry with a spider nest in it, that guy would -argue- with you. He would cling to what he “knows” like a mesquite bush. He would say “but the environment!” And -you- would be the bad guy.
And now that his house actually -did- burn down, you’re still the bad guy because you didn’t fix it for him. For free. You bastiges.
Propaganda really, really works on Normies. They can’t be argued out of it. Even a hearty mugging or their house burning down won’t wake some of them up.

If you study behavioral psychology you would know that belief is and emotional based concept, and the emotional area of the brain suppresses or shuts down the frontal lobe, were reason and logic are processed, so only an idiot argues with a believer, AND religion is a belief !
“If you study behavioral psychology…”
I did, and what I found was that 95% of it is hilariously bad science. As in, they didn’t even try to get it right. Stanford Prison Experiment for the win. Since the 1950’s all the way across the board. I have a degree in Anthropology, same thing. Margaret Mead, as far as the eye can see. It’s BS.
Normies seem to be militantly stupid, and comfortable being manipulated. They only move when it costs them money. But they -will- move for that, which is better than what we see in other parts of the world.
Your beliefs regarding religion are similarly bad science, but far be it from me to disturb your comfort.
mebbe for you antichrist wannabe.
lm very different from cookie cutter believers. l marshalled my God given intellect to take a clear hard look at how dirt turned into life that first time. brought the Q to a prayer meeting, suggested life boiled down to ‘how does a single proton (cause they’se all the saaaaaammmme!!) turn into everything that has, is and will live.
every
last
single
living thing. plant animal and else. all of them, all of it, from a single subatomic particle. where is the ‘programming’? the capability tucked in between the quarks? where? how?
l got the answer in Genesis. feel free to suggest an alternate but satisfactory expliquez. or not. sarcasm will also be viewed as containing a message.
Tribalism is a prison.
No offense, but your longtime friend is a big time idiot.
Does Memphis have a crime problem, a black problem or a nigga problem?
The tribalism of black culture (the Crips and the Bloods specifically) has – with so many,many other things – been amplified to 111 by social media and the handheld computer/phone/infotainment system.
The National Guard should respond like the IDF responded to the Hamas barbarity.
Memphis has a problem of too much Black culture.
The thing about America is the gang crime. What would happen to the homicide rate if they removed gang killings and suicides? Memphis has a gang problem.
As one lady was quoted (after the National Guard showed up) “I haven’t heard gun shots in 3 days”.

It makes you wonder why it took Trump to clean up the streets in America. And yet people still complain …
Jailing minority gang members is completely unacceptable to leftist loons because it MUST BE the result of racist policies. They can’t possibly be committing crimes!
