Don't give your credit card details over the internet.

Nowadays people have them saved in their damn browser for convenience.

He doesn't give a shit. He firmly believes that the fix is in and regardless of what happens, he'll just win with slates of fake electors from trump states, or failing that, the court. He (and his people) don't honestly believe that the actual vote means shit.

And the sad reality is is that he's got a good shot at being absolutely right about that.

Das Boot is required viewing.

The Enemy Below is a really great movie too.

and The Hunt for Red October and K-19 are great films if your interested in modern nuclear submarines.

Fair enough. But despite any possible repercussions, the play was to make the NDP a much bigger player than it had ever been, and he succeeded; under him, the NDP became the official opposition for the first time in it's history. If Layton were still around, and the NDP perhaps managed to retain the official opposition status, Canadian politics would have been forever changed. Instead we quickly reverted back to the Liberal/Conservative swap game every few election cycles.

I think regardless of the ultimate legacy of Layton, the status quo would have been shaken up. And at this point, any change is better than two entrenched and old political parties essentially power sharing every few years.

I always thought it was the terrible campaign quip that sunk him... I don't remember exactly but it was something like:

"Healthcare, Medicare, Mulcair..." and IIRC it received a LOT of groans at the time.

Mulcair also could never ever ever live up to the legacy of Jack Layton. If Jack hadn't been taken from us, we'd be looking at a very different Canada right now.

The only people who weren't already soured on him from the beginning are people who think Trump and DeSantis are "good guys".

Aren't there alternative file explorers for Windows? Or did support for that kind of thing end with Windows 7?
