Mocking Poilievre is like shooting fish in a barrel.

Stop accusing far right-wingers of having intelligence! Just stop it!

Maybe a quarter.

I would think that O'Day has been told to not make any personnel moves until the board goes through the motions of a year-end review. They would not want to be seen as doing knee=jerk reactions on top of all the other crap. I would think that Dickenson has been considering engaging a realtor and checking U-haul rates, though.

You've been married that long???

In all honesty, Lemon has had a darned good year. Helps when you are on a good D-line, too.

Trump Tapes Reveal He's 'Dangerous' And 'A Threat To Democracy,' Bob Woodward Warns Legendary Watergate journalist Bob Woodward sounded the alarm on former President Donald Trump Sunday, releasing eight hours of interview recordings he says show the ex-president as a serious “threat to democracy.” Trump was “just the wrong man for the job,” Woodward told host John Dickerson on “CBS Sunday Morning,” referring to Trump’s presidency. “He’s not just the wrong man for the job,” Woodward added. “He’s dangerous, and he is a threat to democracy — and he’s a threat to the presidency because he doesn’t understand the core obligations that come with that office.” Woodward used the 20 recorded interviews with Trump for his 2020 book “Rage.” Now he’s releasing the tapes separately in “The Trump Tapes: Bob Woodward’s Twenty Interviews with President Donald Trump.” “Trump is an unparalleled danger,” Woodward wrote in a Washington Post essay adapted from the new audiobook. “When you listen to him on the range of issues from foreign policy to the virus to racial injustice, it’s clear he did not know what to do. Trump was overwhelmed by the job. He was largely disconnected from the needs and leadership expectations of the public and his absolute self-focus became the presidency."

Kari Lake threatens to cancel the Super Bowl if the NFL objects to her immigration policies In 1990, voters in Arizona defeated a ballot measure that would have designated Martin Luther King Day as a holiday. One of the ensuing consequences for the Grand Canyon State arrived when the National Football League relocated Super Bowl XXVII from Tempe to Pasadena, California in 1993. "The NFL's decision to move the Super Bowl is believed to be the first time a major sports league reacted to a highly politicized issue by relocating an event," ESPN explained last year. Now, that ruling by the NFL has reverberated into the 2022 race for the Arizona governorship. On Sunday, Republican gubernatorial nominee Kari Lake declared at a question-and-answer event that she would be willing to cancel Super Bowl LVII at Glendale's State Farm Stadium in 2023 if the NFL raises objections to her right-wing immigration policy proposals.

Wow. Kyrie Wilson is so injured that he skipped practice twice.

There is a myth that Jones can keep problematic players in check, but the Elks are examples that whatever he does is strictly short-term if/when it works. Jones is much like Tororella in the NHL who, except for one season cannot sustain a competitive team for long. Had Jones stayed in Regina, the outcome would have been the same sort of mess we see there now, differing only in detail.

They may have more individual talent, but collectively, as a whole (players, coaches and management) this is the worst Rider team in living memory.

Ukraine update: 'Organized withdrawal of troops of the first line is impossible' in Kherson Those days when a Russian position is clearly crumbling? Those are the best days. On Saturday evening in Ukraine, Russia has once again targeted electrical production and transmission facilities with missile and drone attacks, causing blackouts that involve a large percentage of the population, including the majority of Kyiv. However, this appears to be about the only “good news” on Russian state media and Telegram channels. Because the situation in Kherson appears to be coming to a head sooner than expected. On Saturday morning, Russian officials called for “immediate evacuation” of the city of Kherson. Officials seem to have followed this order by swiftly hopping on a boat and departing. There have also been reports that over the last two weeks Russia has been subbing in freshly mobilized troops for experienced fighters, while getting the forces who know which end of a rifle to hold across the river. There are also efforts reportedly underway to evacuate Russian personnel from the filtration camp at Beryslav. Over the course of the day, these withdrawals appear to have become evident on the front lines. There are multiple reports of abandoned Russian positions, some of which have even been confirmed by the Ukrainian general staff (which is usually reluctant to report anything happening near the actual front line). It’s possible that the front line in Kherson is simply collapsing. That may be particularly true if those reports that the line has been replaced by inexperienced and recently mobilized troops. As soon as those guys no longer had someone holding a gun to their back, running away likely seemed like a Real Good Thing. Ferries are reportedly doing frequent and rapid trips across the river on Saturday night in Ukraine, with Russians hoping to get as much across they can, while keeping an eye out for incoming HIMARS fire. As Wagner Group Telegram channel GrayZone puts it: “The situation is even worse than in the Kharkiv region after the breakthrough to Balakliya. In fact, the implementation of an organized withdrawal of troops of the first line is impossible.”

True, but he's not the solution either. Roughing the passer???? Is this the NFL?

Score actually flatters the Riders. Their defence still trying but the offence looks as flat as pee on a plate.

Edom got popped real hard and he has not been the only Rider to get run over tonight.

Trump Stashed 'Highly Sensitive' China, Iran Missile Intel At Mar-A-Lago: Report Details about Iran’s missile program and American intelligence work aimed at China were among the most “highly sensitive” information Donald Trump had stashed at his Mar-a-Lago compound, The Washington Post reported Friday. Had the intelligence been shared with or acquired by other people it could have laid bare U.S. intelligence-gathering methods. The identities of American spies could have been exposed and their lives’ endangered, and U.S. intelligence-gathering systems compromised. Yet the sensitive information was stored in a resort that drew hundreds of unscreened members and guests to parties, fundraisers and wedding receptions at a facility maintained by unscreened groundskeepers and cleaners. One of the storage areas for documents Trump took to Mar-a-Lago from the White House was reportedly easily accessible near a pool open to all members. At least one document seized by the FBI in August describes Iran’s missile program, sources told the Post. Other documents reportedly described highly sensitive intelligence work involving China. “The exceptional sensitivity of these documents, and the reckless exposure of invaluable sources and methods of U.S. intelligence capabilities concerning these foreign adversaries, will certainly influence the Justice Department’s determination of whether to charge Mr. Trump or others with willful retention of national defense information under the Espionage Act,” David Laufman, a former senior official of the Justice Department, told the Post. Mar-a-Lago has been considered a “spy magnet” by intelligence experts — both during and after Trump’s term as president. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/china-iran-weapons-trump-mar-a-lago-intelligence_n_63534cdde4b0e376dc17b069

If Trump runs in 2024, it's likely he'll choose Marjorie Taylor Greene as running mate A New York Times reporter confirmed rumors that Donald Trump is considering Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) as his running mate, should he launch a 2024 presidential campaign. Robert Draper, who writes for The New York Times Magazine, told The Daily Beast's "New Abnormal" podcast that Greene had risen quickly in her first term in Congress by using the same tactics she honed as a right-wing social media influencer harassing Democratic staffers, and she could shoot to the second-highest office in government. "Republicans kind of wanted to kick her to the curb immediately," said Draper, author of the new book Weapons of Mass Delusion: When the Republican Party Lost Its Mind. "But instead she became a fundraising dynamo, came to have this huge social media influence, and ultimately came to be very influential within the party itself." Draper confirmed that Trump has been actively discussing Greene as his No. 2 since February, and while the former president has probably discussed other candidates, as well, the Georgia Republican brings something to the table that could push her over the top. "She has been unflaggingly loyal to Trump throughout," Draper said. "What is Trump concerned about most of all in a VP after the Mike Pence experience? Loyalty. He knows that if he needs someone to fight for him to overturn a presidential election. He has every reason to expect that Greene would be by his side and would be his proximate warrior."

Prosecutors cut deals in only two circumstances- when their case is too weak to ensure a victory and when the accused can give them bigger fish. Neither of these seem to be present.

All signs point to Trump being no longer to bluster, deflect and bribe his way out of trouble. There are a lot of e sharks are circling and there is blood in the water.

Butler is really taking it to the Ungulates. All the more remarkable considering the O-line he has.

I cannot fathom how any sane person seeing what has transpired in the US under Trump's administration can aspire to follow that example. Trump and his flunkies, emulators and parasites have created a toxic social and political atmosphere. This has led to all manner of violence, poverty, a falling average personal income, overt racism, militarization of police, and many, many other ills. What of these things do they want?

Hearing about some of the statements of our politicians makes me think you may be right about a drug problem. On a serious note, criminalizing personal drug usage serves no purpose and actually worsens things. Switzerland and Portugal have been leading the way to dealing with drug usage much more effectively and humanely.
