You’d be surprised. As a Canadian lawyer, I’ve had to answer “No” to some Canadian clients who have asked if they can “plead the Fifth” in our courts. Note that they have the same constitutional protection against self-incrimination that the Fifth Amendment provides, but we don’t call it by that name.
Shake their hands, say, “Hey Bro, all in good fun, dontcha know?” and then offer them a beer bong.
Now I feel a challenge coming on: write a speech to be given to incoming students every year, that essentially says, “You’re not allowed to tell us you’re gay, because they’ve banned the word “gay” in schools, but that’s actually okay, because if you did manage to tell us you’re gay without using the word “gay”, we’d be required to rat you out to your parents. So, under no circumstances should you even try to use a circumlocution of the word “gay” to tell us you’re gay, for your own protection,” but do it in a manner that is completely adherent to the “Don’t Say Gay” law.
I’ve seen some online forums (including the comments feature on the app iFunny) with tons of people advocating for Americans to copy the Canada situation. And advocating for all Americans to not file income taxes this year. And for everyone to go to their employers and tell them to stop taking federal taxes out their paychecks.
You can fight City Hall.
No dispute with the IRS will end in your favor during your lifetime.
I’m reminded of the scandal 15-20 years or so back where Prince Charles had been accused of something, but the UK’s lese majeste laws prohibited the British press from reporting what the accusation was, and the PR releases from The Firm were all along the lines of “We can’t tell you what people are saying he did, but he didn’t do it.”
On the plus side, this will likely create a quite a few new Republican felons who are no longer allowed to vote.
Announce membership in the Log Cabin Republicans?
It’s got “log” right there in the name, still way too gay.
I am Spartacus!
This is so fucking disgusting that I can’t hardly stand it.
I know I probably shouldn’t let this get to me, but it does. That this is the message they want to send at a time like this just sickens me.
Can you give some info on the content? It’s a video.
ThelmaLou, I have no idea how that video got there. I was only trying to show that the GOP decided to tweet “Joe Biden is unfit to be President.”
That’s what I object to. Sorry for the confusion.
Oh, ok. I watched a little of it and it seems to be a woman lip-syncing trump’s voice on the subject of bogus/stupid COVID remedies. Very strange.
Hilarous!!! And good acting too with the mister bottle and stuff.
Now I wanna see her do Mike Lindell.
Love it when “medical” is used as a verb!
Sarah Cooper is a welcome addition anywhere she shows up!
Very unfortunate phrasing.
Yup, my late mother in her last years had a fentanyl patch to try to control her breakthrough pain from extreme arthritis and spinal problems. Try; often wasn’t enough.
@ThelmaLou , does this remark imply that you haven’t been aware of Sarah Cooper videos before? She has a whole series of them, including a bunch lip-syncing stupid stuff that Trump said.
She must have her lips steam-cleaned after each video.
