This is almost a direct quote from Goebbels. But then, the current GOP is almost a copy of the Nazi party. Legal experts say Bill Barr 'should be disciplined' following release of 'garbage' Justice Department memo Legal experts are reviewing a legal memo that served as the basis for Attorney General Bill Barr deciding to not charge then-President Donald Trump with obstruction of justice, and they are calling it “garbage,” “disingenuous,” a “total whitewash,” and “ass-covering.” The memo, published Wednesday afternoon by The New York Times, is dated March 24, 2019. “For the reasons stated below,” it reads in part, “we conclude that the evidence described in Volume II of the Report is not, in our judgment, sufficient to support a conclusion beyond a reasonable doubt that the President violated the obstruction-of-justice statutes. In addition, we believe that certain of the conduct examined by the Special Counsel could not, as a matter of law, support an obstruction charge under the circumstances. Accordingly, were there no constitutional barrier, we would recommend, under the Principles of Federal Prosecution, that you decline to commence such a prosecution.” Norm Eisen, a well-known Harvard-educated attorney, former U.S. Ambassador, senior fellow in governance studies at the Brookings Institution, and a CNN legal analyst calls the legal memo “garbage.” “No wonder a series of judges have slammed Barr for dishonesty in connection with all this,” Eisen writes. “It’s garbage. Anyone else woulda been prosecuted. Barr should be disciplined.” Attorney Andrew Weissman calls the memo “disingenuous” and a “total whitewash.” He adds: “note no discussion of Barr telling Special Counsel Mueller that he should make the decision whether Trump obstructed justice. Why? Because new DOJ memo reveals they thought Mueller Report could be read to say he did obstruct! So Barr should say the opposite.” CNN Senior Legal Analyst Elie Honig calls the memo “ass-covering.” “To recap,” he writes, detailing these bullet points: “Mueller failed by refusing to state a conclusion,” “Barr publicly distorted Mueller’s findings,” “DOJ drafted this flimsy, ass-covering memo,” “Barr misled a federal court about this bogus memo,” “Garland appealed on Barr’s behalf, and lost.”

Damned few of us get a free ride in life. That doesn't mean we repeat the same stuff and not a good reason to commit seppuku as a GM. Barrett was a decent QB who played on some mediocre teams but was even less than mediocre as a head coach.

Brain cramp- I meant Petersfield.

A word of advice: When living in Winnipeg Beach and had to travel to Winnipeg during the time when the lake was not fully frozen and lake effect was dumping snow onto the west side of the lake, highway 8 was usually less snow/ice covered. And there is a decent auto repair shop in Clandeboye.

Buddy Holley was a Bomber??????

Thank God we have a game tomorrow to agonize and revel over. Too many people here have gotten cranky during the bye week.

Sean Connery's Personal Aston Martin DB5 Auctioned For $2.4 Million The James Bond actor's DB5, purchased two years before his death, fetched $1 million more than estimated. By Marco Margaritoff Aug 24, 2022, 12:06 PM EDT Connery popularized the DB5 with his role in 1964's "Goldfinger." MICHAEL OCHS ARCHIVES VIA GETTY IMAGES When Sean Connery took the role of James Bond in 1962, he kickstarted a multibillion-dollar film franchise with a lifespan exceeding any other. His third outing in 1964’s “Goldfinger” made the Aston Martin DB5 a coveted luxury sports car. The actor’s personal model — the only one he ever owned — just sold for $2.4 million at auction. Last week’s Broad Arrow Auctions event in Monterey, California, attracted wealthy attendees with a slew of classic cars, according to the New York Post. None held as much sentimental value as Connery’s 1964 DB5, which he bought in 2018, two years before his death at age 90. “Dad used to talk about owning his own DB5, for no other reason than he loved the car, and I think in hindsight it did represent something in his life that was unique and captured a moment in time,” his son Jason Connery said in an auction company statement.

Quote of the day and it seems to perfectly relate to the Riders and Elks," When a clown moves into a palace, he doesn't become a king. The palace becomes a circus tent".

Mudge was a very good O-lineman, especially for a Canuck, but Bryant has been nothing short of dominant. He will be very difficult to replace when the time comes.

Agreed. I kinds knee-jerk jumped at the prospect of Lirim returning but at some point you gotta dance with the gal you brought to the party. Lets give our soph kicker a chance to redeem himself. Everybody screws up once in a while.

This is more than a resemblance.

Awww....crap! But we ought to get him back in plenty of time for the playoff run.

There's still a lot of them around in Mar-A-Lago, the US senate and in the leadership race for the CPC party, not to mention our current provincial government,

Republicans of late have shown themselves to be remarkably resistant to obvious stupidity, let alone irony, and ethics,

"This order is hilarious": Trump-appointed judge sends back his DOJ suit because it makes no sense Former President Trump and his legal team have filed a motion asking a federal judge to pause the FBI's review of alleged classified documents taken from his Mar-a-Lago resort so a neutral special master can be appointed to inspect them. The motion was included in a federal lawsuit filed by Trump targeting the FBI's justification for the Aug. 8 raid. According to reports, Trump had more than 300 classified documents at his Palm Beach resort that he allegedly took from the White House at the end of his tenure. But in a new development this Tuesday, the judge overseeing the case gave Trump and his legal team until Friday to give more specifics as to why they think their motion should be granted. "Judge Aileen Cannon seems skeptical about Trump's lawsuit over the search of Mar-a-Lago, including what exactly he is trying to do and why he filed a separate case instead of just asking Judge Bruce Reinhart to address his grievances in the existing matter," explained New York Times reporter Charlie Savage. "The judge assigned to Trump's civil complaint is basically telling them they need to do better," tweeted Reuters reporter and legal expert Sarah Lynch. As CBS News' Steven Portnoy pointed out, the judge wants Trump's legal team to provide "the asserted basis for the exercise of this Court's jurisdiction," "the precise relief sought, including any request for injunctive relief," and the "the effect, if any, of the proceeding before" Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart. "This order is hilarious," added David French of The Dispatch. "Any decent litigator would read it and shudder--basically the judge is saying to Trump's team, 'Do your job.'" "Translation: Trump's motion is a mess and the judge needs them to spell out exactly what they're asking for and why they think they're entitled to that relief," tweeted Renato Mariotti, a former federal prosecutor. https://www.salon.com/2022/08/24/this-order-is-hilarious-appointed-sends-back-his-doj-suit-because-it-makes-no-sense_partner/

Tucker Carlson’s Hateful Conspiracy: Chemicals in Milk Turn Kids Trans Conspiracy theorists have become an essential and accepted component of the MAGA party/religion for some time now. As much damage as it’s done to our body politic, it gets even more dangerous when it is directed with hatred at specific marginalized groups of people, as Tucker Carlson did in claiming that chemicals in milk “turn kids trans.” The loving and respectful response is, “So? What’s the problem?” If chemicals in milk are unhealthy, then we should evaluate the benefit versus harm but not consider “turning kids trans” as an inherently bad outcome akin to cancer or skin lesions. Caution is warranted only because trans teens are the demographic segment most likely – by far – to commit suicide. It is not the resulting “trans” identity that is the problem. It is how society, like Tucker Carlson, who implies this is terrible, that is a real problem. https://www.politicususa.com/2022/08/23/tucker-carlson-milk-trans.html

There seems to be no bottom to which Faux News will stoop to in lies:

That, as Mr. Spock would say, it the logical next step.

Russia announced the "adoption" of 1,000 children deported from Mariupol More than 1,000 Ukrainian children, illegally removed from occupied Mariupol, were given up for "adoption" in the Krasnodar region of Russia alone.

Plans to resurrect the Tasmanian tiger in the works, extinct since the 1930's, advancements in technology have made it possible and feasible.

YESYESYESYESYESYESYES!!!!!
