MANDEL: Swarming girl who pleaded to manslaughter still doesn’t get it

She is still frighteningly clueless.

Even now, even after watching and rewatching the horrific video of her part in the senseless swarming attack on Kenneth Lee, where she’s enthusiastically hitting, punching and stomping on the vulnerable man — practically doing everything but actually delivering the fatal knife wound — the pig-tailed teen still has no remorse.

Monsters walk among us.

New Democrats are attempting to paint themselves as a legitimate alternative to the Liberals and Conservatives ahead of the next election, but Singh acknowledged one his party’s biggest challenges will be persuading Canadians it can actually form government.

“Like many of you, all my life I have been told, it can’t be done. Cynics will say: Canada has never had an NDP government, it’s not going to happen,” Singh said in a campaign-style address.

Putin: I’m backing Kamala Harris as I love her laugh

Kamala Harris has said she laughs “from the belly”, like her mother.

For her supporters the chuckle is a selling point, broadening the Democratic presidential nominee’s popular appeal and producing countless online tributes.

Donald Trump, though, has sought to use the laugh against Harris, offering a nickname for the vice-president — “Laughing Kamala” — and telling one rally: “You ever watch her laugh? … You can tell a lot by a laugh. No — she’s crazy. She’s nuts.”
