Watch Biden Snap At 'Today' Show Anchor Over Hunter & Burisma Questions
[ZH] Guthrie pressed the 77-year old candidate on the issue, saying the irony of the Trump impeachment proceedings is that they shine an uncomfortable light on Hunter Biden's high-paying job on the board of Ukrainian natural gas firm Burisma Holdings.

Despite what appears his best efforts at straining to control his temper, Biden snaps at one point. With an exasperated look on his face he shoots back: "You're saying things you don't know what you're talking about!"



Biden followed up with claiming "no one has found anything wrong with [Hunter’s] dealings with Ukraine, except it sets a bad image."
He then challenged her to a push-up contest

#2  link with missing "w" restored

"Snap" is putting it a little strongly. On an "JB reveals his inner difficult person" scale of 1 to 10, I couldn't give this a 2. Still fun, though.

There is a mind set. Everyone thinks they can code until it is time to find the error.

Trudeau cabinet minister: all news websites must now get a government licence
Justin Trudeau's Heritage Minister Stephen Guilbeault announced that every website in Canada must get a government licence.

Every cabinet minister has a job description, a to-do list, called a mandate letter. And the second of the 23 priorities given to Guiltbeault is to regulate the Internet. The censorship that Guilbeault has been ordered to do by Trudeau is very specific: give yourself the authority to knock down things from the Internet within 24 hours of a complaint.

Guilbeault is better known as a life-long environmental extremist from Montreal, and on tonight's show we'll look at his assertion that every single website that can be read or clicked in Canada needs a license.

#1  I cannot wait to see this bureaucrat give a license to www.trudeauinblackface.com.

#2  So? They've all been censored into obedient dogs for years. Now the takeover is becoming even more blatant.
Posted by: Vernal Hatrick || 02/04/2020 7:42 Comments || Top||

#3  Just think... if Hillary had won we would be facing this in the US.
Posted by: CrazyFool || 02/04/2020 8:21 Comments || Top||

#4  I'm slowly but surely getting unwanted experience in Canadian tax law. It seems that US companies doing certain business in Canada (submitting an invoice is sufficient business activity) withhold 15% for Canadian tax, and you can get all of it back by filing a return. So far my client's been waiting on the CRA to issue a business number (like our EIN / FID number) since early May of last year and I have to submit (more) paperwork so I can represent my client before them (like our Power of Attorney forms) to find out where that business number issue stands. $10 says they lost it and we have to resubmit it.

I don't think I'm getting them that refund for .them anytime soon

#5  Froggies, the water's getting hot. Are you paying attention?
Posted by: Lex || 02/04/2020 8:29 Comments || Top||

#6  ...his assertion that every single website that can be read or clicked in Canada needs a license.

I don't think he knows how the internet works...

#7  Nice way to push half of an industry to the US.
Posted by: Ebboluns Shong6204 || 02/04/2020 9:50 Comments || Top||

#8  I think that actions like this by the Trudeau regime will contribute to the breakup of Canada.
Posted by: Alaska Paul || 02/04/2020 10:36 Comments || Top||

#9  This would be used to legitimize subjecting Canadian resident to a sophisticated censorship infrastructure a la chinoise.

Also they'd make examples out of especially annoying Danadian websites like RebelNews.

Defiance of this law by small websites not explicitly exposed to Canada's jurisdiction is not without risk.

Something as simple as a flight transiting through a country that is willing to extradite might force web journalists to physically confront Canada's judicial system.

They won't and can't go after everyone but the will try to set examples in order to intimidate.

#10  I don't think he knows how the internet works...

Which is why they will need more laws, more licenses and fee, more regulations. Perhaps an official port foreigners must go through and purchase a tacking cookie visa of sorts.
Posted by: swksvolFF || 02/04/2020 12:26 Comments || Top||

#11  So Canada will force Internet providers to block the sites that don't have licences? or do they think they will be able to use international law to shut down sites that don't have Canadian licences but still are available in Canada? This is laughable.

#2  It's even worse Chris, the Dems don't seem to be able to organize a one person parade.

However, the Dem candidates and their policies suck.

The seemingly Dem lack of organizational skills is more that people are into their election rigging.
