Why can't traitor jeffery rath be charged with collusion?

Criminalizing collusion

C-70 does other things. Agents of foreign countries will have to sign onto a public registry in Canada, as they do in the U.S., U.K. and Australia.

In addition, it will be a crime to collude with a foreign government — potentially punishable by a life sentence. Collusion is defined as someone engaging in deceptive conduct, at the direction of a foreign government, to influence a Canadian political process like legislation, a party nomination or an election platform.

As a procurement fiasco, this probably still pales in comparison to defence contracting, but it is nonetheless a magnificent disaster.

Here's the backstory:

IBM Canada Ltd., Systematix IT Solutions Inc., McKinsey & Company Canada PricecwaterhouseCoopers LLP, and Oracle Canada ULC

IBM alone has made nearly a cool billion on the deal.

Zuck's assholes decided to bring facial recognition technology into the courtroom, thus providing the means for deanonymizing jurors.

As was pointed out somewhere earlier this week, it took Russia less time to defeat the Nazis than they've spent on the Ukraine invasion so far.

Dear corporate fuck-asses:

To me, 'maybe later' means 'fucking never.'

Never on my life you groping fucking assholes.

He would know about that.

“I’m ashamed of certain members of the Court for not doing what is right,” says President Trump of the 6-3 SCOTUS ruling against him on tariffs, adding they’ve been "swayed by foreign interests."

@zazzoo

Not mention that when oil prices drop she blames immigrants.

Pure lily scum.

@pluralistic

This is good one.

Readable, informative, thought provoking (my view of AI having been adjusted somewhat in line with inklings I know I'd been having that were given voice here), and a cool look inside a critical/creative thought generating machine somehow thriving outside a mega-corporate bot-thought hatchery.

A reminder...

'It’s probably more likely we all win the lottery before Trump is ever truly questioned about his many, many, many mentions in the Epstein Files, which include (uninvestigated) allegations of rape and pedophilia.'
