Canada...... OR is it China Jr?

Here is the court ruling if anyone wants to read it for themselves: https://www.jordanbpeterson.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Peterson-v.-College-of-Psychologists-of-Ontario-DC-714-22-FINAL-18-August-2023.pdf

You certainly can't rely on any information provided by a right-wing media bias source like "The Blaze."


I found this bit interesting where Peterson admits he acted badly and tells the court he is trying to atone for his sins:


I would say, then, in my defense, that I have already undertaken the remediation of my actions in a manner very much akin to what has been suggested by the ICRC and have done so in an exceptionally thorough and equally exceptionally public and transparent manner, and would like to therefore submit to the ICRC that I have already and plan to continue to atone for what are no doubt my multiplicity of sins in relation to my interaction with the public audience I have the privilege to serve.
Why would he read the actual court ruling and form his own opinion when he can just adopt the opinion of some right-wing kook who's job is to provide him with one?  Same posting pattern, over and over again.

Enrique Tarrio

Meanwhile, the darling of morons everywhere Sarah Palin, had this to say: "... it makes the good guy think what’s the use in being a good guy? We’re gonna be punished, you know, we’re picked on, is what we are under this system. But we can’t feel helpless and hopeless.” LOL

This seems super unlikely to me.  No Ds will vote for Trump, and a lot of Rs won't either (you, Russ, and a lot of people I know and work with are good examples).

In any case, Joe clearly, in my opinion, lied about his knowledge of Hunter's "business dealings."   It is not a good look for the president.  Merely having a drug-addicted, alcoholic, scum bag of a son who admits to having made tens of millions from foreign concerns while his dad was VP is not a good look.   I do not expect Joe Biden to be prosecuted!  But why would the Ds run the one person on earth who might conceivably lose to Trump?   The rational thing to do is quietly ask Joe to cite his age, step aside, and run Newsome or someone else.   Jim
Totally agree with this.

If the shoe fits, ya da ya da. You’d rather I use the other one, especially when you are acting like one?
Very true!  In fact, I didn't come up with that nickname at all. Eric Gage did many years ago. For some reason it stuck.

So how long has Your transitioning been going on?  Do you prefer low cut blouses or are mini-skirts your ticket?  

Since all you lefties are big on photos, please feel free to insert a photo of yourself in heels.  I'm sure you look great in lavender.  grin
You're on the wrong website, dude.  Asking men to post pictures of themselves in heels and lavender is not what Atromart is about.  Granted, amateur astronomy involves gazing at the occasional heavenly body, but you have it all wrong.

You're right of course. Sometimes it's a hilarious diversion, although I always feel a little guilty and in need of a shower afterwards.

Joe Biden cancels already given drilling permits in the ANWAR, and Gas is near record highs again.

That said, James is right, the combined oil cuts from OPEC and Russia are impacting oil prices now...
Thanks Joe!  smile

I think I'll keep this up top for a while. LOL

Well, he is the guy who asked me to post pictures of myself in heels and lavender. See post #18/19 in the "McConnell freezes again in front of the cameras" thread.

It figures that the only person to ever ask me to do a thing like that would be some shrill right-wing guy (not a democrat) who's constantly telling everyone what a man he is. LOL
