T &F are a great in joke

Complain about South Park flatulence jokes, and end up getting more of them.

Yup… T and P are good company for Trudeau. He spoke for ten minutes and as usual he said nothing.

Mercifully, when Greta turns 18 in just 37 days time, her fibs and tantrums will no longer be acceptable. She will lose her status as the Child High Priestess of the Climate Cult of Doom and Gloom. Thus, we can “look forward” to her making a last few scaremongering videos to etch the memories of childhood innocence (that she is a puppet.)
We might have a simple ceremony in Sydney with a Swedish Princess cake (yes, there is such a cake) to mark her coming of age.
As for Trudeau, he deserves all the ridicule the planet can heap on him-it will be good to bury some of his hot air.

On the down side is that once she becomes – legally at least – an adult she will be able to go full PETA and start doing topless protests.

SHUDDER.

Does that mean she can be sued more easily?

If she has any sense she will dump her sires and start helping humans.

(They are not parents, as they teach her violence – look at the ‘antifa’ t-shirts they wear, for example.)

I can understand Trudeau getting pranked, but it’s surprising that the Fake Greta phone call made its way through the various call screeners that *should* block potentially phony phone calls. Our tax dollars at work, I guess.

Justine and his crew are suckers for any hint of adulation.
Doesn’t matter to “dress-up boy” where the adulation comes from, as long as it pumps up his tires.
Otherwise he might have to cry . . .

Biden was giving a speech recently where he said “a palmists once said,” the old guy can hardly read the teleprompter anymore, but I think he meant “a psalmist once said.”

If Biden uses palmists for his inspiration, then we are in trouble. Ghalfrunt, on the other hand, is just dumb and thinks drinking bleach will cure you of Covid.

Um. . . is this real? Is this prank actually a prank? What’s the source? Are we sure that these aren’t really voice actors putting on a play? As has been pointed out above by PaulH, it is surprising that there were no verification filters that would have caught the fake Greta out.

It certainly has been well-verified that Trudeau met with Greta for real. I thought that that was pretty lame, and a stark indicator of Trudeau’s essentially lazy and shallow nature. I would be surprised if Trudeau has ever worked more than four hours a day as prime minister unless Parliament was in session. It sure hasn’t taken much to get him to hide out at the cottage for months on end.

I remain unconvinced, Rich. The Prime Minister of Canada has a phone number that is so insecure that Russian pranksters can find out what it is? And he doesn’t have call display, or a block on all incoming calls except the ones on a list of approved callers? Or aides to the Prime Minister are so gullible that they will give out the number to someone claiming to be Greta Thunberg without a diligent investigation of the person asking for the number? Or that aides to the Prime Minister were in on the joke, and then released the audiotape of the call, which would of course embarrass the Prime Minister? Nah.

And just because reputable news organizations like the BBC went with it does not necessarily support the proposition that the story is true. I’m a Canadian and this is the first I’ve heard of it, and I follow the national news every day. This is such an interesting story that, if it were true, it would have made it onto the news broadcasts of our national broadcaster, the CBC. The Americans would certainly have picked it up. But those things didn’t happen.

So no, I believe it’s a fake.

And another thing: Supposedly this prank happened in January. Why the long delay in revealing the successful prank to the public? If you had fooled the Prime Minister, and you worked in show business, wouldn’t you tell everybody right away?

Although, if it is a fake, it is skillfully done, because Trudeau’s voice and evasive style of answering unwelcome questions is mimicked very well. I’m doubtful but also unsure of my doubts.

Yeah, I don’t know either, Ian. But why is the Bolshevik Broadcasting Service keeping the story up? And why is there no reference to it being a hoax on snopes.com?

“Sorey”, Canadians, not to be unduly rude, eh? I am “aboot” the only American I know who can name the PM of Canada. But I’ve actually been to Canada several times, and not just layovers in airports.

When we hear about young Truedope, it’s usually that Trump has dissed “the president (or whatever) of Canada” because nobody would recognize the name anyway.

It could be a case of “Justin Who?”

Well, Rich, it could be true, but it just seems so improbable on its face. Supposedly, fake Greta reached the Prime Minister by “pretending to be a ‘bot.” I have no idea how that might work, and it isn’t explained. If it were that easy to call up people with unlisted phone numbers, anyone famous would be getting them all the time. I’d be calling up Greta Thunberg and saying very rude things.

Even if it’s fake it is still a powerful indictment of Trudeau because it is so plausible that it’s real. That is, I can actually believe that Trudeau would be as dumb and shallow as he seems in the recording.

Incidentally, as a Canadian, I probably know more about the United States than I do about Canada. Your country is like, really, really interesting. If you should see Willie Nelson in the next little while, tell him I said hi, and have always admired him and his work.

Trudeau must be really dim.

He met Greta last year. He knows what her voice sounds like. He knows he is talking to a child. The fake Greta has a deeper voice and her demeanour and intellect is anything like that of a teenage school dropout.

Not so funny though:

Donald J. Trump @realDonal…
Wow! Twitter bans highly respected Pennsylvania State Senator Doug Mastriano after he did a great job of leading a hearing on the 2020 Election fraud. They and the Fake News, working together, want to SILENCE THE TRUTH.
Can’t let that happen. This is what Communist countries do!

Jack at Twitter better hope Trump can’t pull the election out.

Well, Jack, you made your bet. Now we’ll see if it pays off or not.

The election issues are finally working their way up to the U.S. Supreme Court.

And Republican State legislators are finally raising serious questions about the way the elections were handled in their States.

It’s not over yet.

The video for some reason doesn’t stream… how strange. Here’s a link that works: https://nypost.com/2020/11/25/justin-trudeau-pranked-by-russians-posing-as-greta-thunberg/amp/

I am disappointed as I thought our Prime Minister’s one talent was acting and it appears he may not know much about that either.

It is really strange. People feel disgusted to notice unfairness in any independent body.

Some of the correct tweets that favour Trump are deleted; whereas, some wrong information abusing Trump is allowed to circulate wide well. Recently one fake tweet quoting Trump paying tribute to singer Madonna instead of Maradona was circulated like anything. We did not see censorship. Then what is the purpose of uneven censorship?

Can not people deserve fairness from Twitter? Why twitter, BBC and many other media are nowadays used to serve certain political agenda and purposes? Why transparency and fairness are compromised day by day and why all independent bodies are getting controlled by those corrupted and money-minded people to serve their particular purposes?

It amazes me just how many think Trudeau has enough brain cells to rub together for warmth.

The real joke is on the Canadian people for electing and then re-electing this guy.
