Hi Mark,
So, now that Rep. Schiff and his minions in the media argue that Trump's tweets are evidence of intimidating a witness rising to the level of an impeachable offense, when will the DOJ be prosecuting members of Code Pink on similar grounds for their constant disruptions at Congressional hearings? Recall their numerous outbursts at the Kavanaugh hearings!
And, I would love your thoughts on the dismissal of Don Cherry for his thoughts on Canadian patriotism.
Thanks!

Mark, do you think the House Democrats are going to press on with impeachment all the way to a formal charge and vote?
I'm having visions of The Charge of the Light Brigade, with Trump cast as Surat Khan, and the rationale for impeachment in the role of the attacking force, being steadily cut to ribbons, but ultimately having just enough pretense of legitimacy left to hurl the fateful spear.
Maybe they'll end up charging him with a breach of protocol he committed while still in the womb.

Ciao Mark! In response to your challenge last time, my husband offered a quick stanza, and I added four more to follow your "Ol' Adam Schiff " opening line and bring this unimpeachable story up to date:
Ol' Adam Schiff came out of the SCIF
And glanced all about his domain.
After dinner with wine, everything will be fine,
Then back to the same old refrain.
Ol' Adam Schiff came out of the SCIF
With his moon face all lighted aglow
"We're winning again! Trump will be in 'the Pen'!"
then oozed BACK to his lair down below.
Ol' Adam Schiff came out of the SCIF
His head full of "facts" he'd invented.
As he blithely displayed clever traps he had laid
All his lies the news outlets augmented.
Ol' Adam Schiff came out of the SCIF
With evidence incontrovertible.
The "proof" only he with his clearance can see,
Remains secret so that it's pervertible.
Ol' Adam Schiff came out of the SCIF
Using words like collusion and quid,
Whose meaning he squeezes, defines as he pleases.
now it's "BRIBE"-- oh yes THAT'S what Trump DID!

Since we know the border between Russia and the Ukraine is more important than the border between the USA and Mexico to the USA.

Roger Stone was found guilty yesterday, and now faces essentially a life sentence for things like five counts of "lying to Congress", and witness tampering. The prosecutor, Jonathan Kravis, said "Roger Stone had no intention of being truthful with the committee...he is just making stuff up ...". Stone's arrest was accomplished in the early morning hours with 29 FBI agents armed with automatic weapons, two boats, and one helicopter, all for the benefit of the CNN reporters who broadcast the takedown, and of course, to set the stage for the jury trial.
The "lying" occurred after Trump was elected. The next step will be sentencing, which can often take a year or more, particularly when there is hope of extorting some "useful" testimony from their target. This all sounds horribly familiar.
Isn't it strange that the Chairman of a House committee can open his hearing with remarks that amount to nothing more than ten or fifteen minutes of lies, later deemed to be parody when the expected testimony didn't live up to the advance billing, while their targets face financial ruin and death in prison for five or ten poorly chosen words?

Recently, the CEO of Twitter announced they would not be accepting campaign advertising.
In the weeks after the November 2016 election I recall reading an article describing how Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner assembled a group of young, tech saavy individuals to go about implementing a strategy leveraging social media platforms to target certain key areas of battle ground states with campaign ads. Particularly in states like Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Ohio this was a game changing weapon in the campaign's arsenal.
Do you think the Twitter CEO's announcement about not accepting campaign advertising is an attempt to remove that weapon from the Trump campaign?

Mark, after their eight year slumber during the Obama presidency, the media behemoth has risen up with one voice to condemn DJ Trump and all those who support him, but they seem not to be able to move the needle much.
Are the narratives they are pushing so flawed that people see through them, or have they revealed themselves as such partisan hacks that the people have tuned them out? Would a real story would be disregarded? Are they bad stories, bad reporters, or both?

Hi Mark -
I know I'm very late, won't get in today, but I'm hoping for maybe some consideration in the video follow up that will likely follow. Here's my question:
Do you believe in American exceptionalism? If so, what do you think it means? If not, please explain why not. Thanks.
Here's my short thinking: American exceptionalism is not pride in the country, as President Barry stated. And it's not just the embracing of freedom, as others have stated or implied. In my humble opinion, it is an attempt by the founders, through the Declaration, the Constitution (particularly the Bill of Rights) and its founding premise of rights granted by God/a creator, and a system of attempted checks and balances to fight any attempts to encroach on that freedom.
I could bore you with more, but would like to hear your thoughts...

Hi Mark, what do you think of the reference to MacRae's poem In Flanders Field being written on the cenotaph in Toronto to protest the firing of Don Cherry?
The man who did it said Canadians have indeed broken faith with the Canadian soldiers who died in both World Wars bc we are allowing our cultural right to freedom of speech (amongst the rights they fought and died for) to be subverted and squashed by an increasingly authoritarian state. He said we are being put in mental straight jackets and restricted from expressing different opinions especially any that are not politically correct.
It is an act of vandalism but if it gets Canadians to discuss how freedom of thought, and freedom of speech are being eroded in Canada, it might be a worthwhile act.
We must be free to voice different opinions.
Thanks,

Dear Mark,
Just like Holocaust education in the U.S. has largely become a scandalously sacrilegious platform for telling teens that the Führer was the founder of the RNC, the memory of the Great War has been almost completely wiped from this century's consciousness. As you've said plenty of times, we are living the world that the Great War made: the millions of doughboys, Tommies, canucks, ANZACS, and so forth who died in Flanders fields wished to be "only remember'd for what we have done," as it is sung in the touching play "War Horse." We owe them that much at least, and I was proud that you wear the poppy the week of the Armistice.
Do you think the last resting place for remembrance of the Great War is on male millennials' video game screens? It certainly is not "Hockey Night in Canada."

Hi Mark - I'd be interested to know what you make the unpersoning of former all Canadian Don Cherry.
Does the demise of Cherry after years of controversies suggest that the ultimate taboo in the western world is mentioning of the changing demographics of formerly European societies. Supposing one gives the uncharitable interpretation to Cherry's remarks and assume he attributed the decline in poppy wearing in the GTA to demographic changes - why is that unsayable?
Did anyone ask if poppy sales were more difficult in the GTA and if so for what reasons. Is it true? If so and I'm guessing it is - it seems to me that pretending immigration is honkey dorey is quite foolish. And yet this ideological enforcement is actually done with more vigor on the right. Why has mass immigration become an unquestioned value to be championed?
Of course one could ask the same about gender bending. Is this a "too big to fail" problem, we are in too deep so any backtracking would simply be ruinous, or is there some deep psychological urge being satisfied by bringing in large numbers of aliens into our countries? If so what is that psychological urge and why is it appealing to both the left (of all hews) and mainstream conservatism.

In regards to impeachment and Ukraine corruption; do you think Trump would have been better off if he followed a different tactic? Maybe he should have instructed the FBI to pursue some FISA warrants on a Biden campaign official and monitored all of their communications?
The next step would then be to have the RNC work with an outside group to coordinate and collect information from foreign intelligence agencies to put together a dossier? Then finally have the CIA try to infiltrate the Biden campaign with FBI and CIA linked informants?

The complex where the salon is situated feels a little like one of those SKIFs. Thanks for your consideration of this very serious matter.
