Yes, very astute. Especially since this is the first time, in history, that a sitting president has attacked, shunned and vilified media sources that disagreed with him and his policies...oh wait...

Actually, it's not the same thing, at all. To be the same thing, firstly, you'd have to have been trying to get in touch with the band council in Alert Bay, expressly for the purpose of trying to help them, and getting extremely frustrated that purely for political reasons, the band council was ignoring your requests to meet. And then, a Native person who you didn't know, would have to walk up to you on the street, and ask you point blank, if you had any intention of meeting the band council in Alert Bay. What would you do? Would you say yes? Would you say no? Would you ask this person to help you meet them? Would it be racist to ask that person for help, considering they were the ones who first asked you if you would meet with them? If so, why? If your goal is to talk to them, and they won't, because they are being instructed not to talk to you, even though all you wanted to do was to help them, what would you do?

I am not sure what the fascination is with Trump's approval rating right now. He's got 47 months left in his administration. Let me know what it is at say 12 months, and then add about 20% to whatever the amount is, as we all know how skewed these polls are, especially ones done about Trump.

I don't know anyone who supports segregation by colour, but I know a lot of people who pull out the word "Racist" on a pretty consistent basis to be used as some sort of trump card in every argument where they believe they are on the "right" side. They in fact invoke this word so much, that it loses almost all meaning.

I don't think I was giving the benefit of the doubt to anyone. I just found that the comment that Trump made to the reporter re the CBC as presented in this thread was taken out of context. When the bigger picture was revealed, in that the CBC seems to be deliberately avoiding him, purely for political points, then it kind of made it more understandable why Trump was a little irked at the question.

If it means more tennis pictures I am ok with it.

bashing one or both of the two idiot Pauls that write about the Bombers is guaranteed Like-Ville. Like City even.

This is a prime example of not giving the entire story. The reporter asked Trump if he would meet with the CBC. The part that wasn't included in that soundbite was after he told the reporter he would love to meet with the CBC, he went on to say that they've been trying extremely hard to meet with the CBC, and due to political reasons, the CBC won't meet with the White House, and Trump said it was probably due to instructions from the DNC. Is this true? I know many here would just dismiss this as Trump lying. If it is true, and Trump has been trying to meet with them to discuss issues of inner cities, and they won't meet with him purely due to optics and politics, then shame on them. There was a comment about how Flint doesn't have drinking water yet. If the DNC representatives from that area are putting politics ahead of the people then shame on them.

yup, more "fake news". What a surprise. http://www.snopes.com/2017/02/17/white-house-denies-rumors-national-guard/

Please just post your own thoughts going forward instead of attaching them to mine. Your "reality" is not mine and I dont want to be associated with it. Thank you.

which two Winnipeg qb's is Glenn talking about?

oh man I am 1200 likes behind Noeller, got to start posting more Rider jokes....

I have a feeling he's still here...somewhere...

This sums up my fourth year of university.

LOL - yeah exactly. I don't know what's more entertaining, Donald fencing with the press or watching peoples' heads explode every day in reaction. I did laugh at that BBC reporter saying that the BBC is fair and impartial. Oh boy, that will be the day.

real radical deep stuff like dating someone who isn't your cousin/close relative...

looking forward to watching him "set" a pass from BLM volleyball style right into Loffler's mitts.

especially in the new barn. What did he say last year - watching the Riders was an honour or something?

a threat to be the first Eastern team to finish the season above .500 since 2015 anyway...

never fear - our capacity to dream up things to complain about with the Blue is limit-less...

Anyone think that Kohlert will find a new home? He fell out of favour last year when he forgot that he was playing football and not volleyball.

don't forget Addison Richards...

Yeah I know. I meant parts of Africa that aren't considered failed states. I get that a lot of Africa is not pleasant but it's been that way for a long time. Why suddenly are thousands of Africans appearing on the US border and trying to sneak into the US? Why now?

What are you talking about?
