  1. Fool me once, shame on you........fool me again and again, and I are stoopid.
  2. There have been literally hundreds of thousands of protestors in hundreds of rallies all over the world, not just in the US and there have been a few dozen instigators of violence, so that does not mean you give a blanket condemnation of all as violent, Antifa means "anti-fascist" and how many killings have been linked to them? By comparison, those on the right wing have resorted to many incidents of attacks and killings and the victims of those attacks have included police. The issue is the unwarranted arrests, harassings, beatings and killings of coloured (non-caucasian) by police who consider themselves above the law, rather than enforcing the law (without fear or favour). The police have long been held in high esteem and the public has been quick to give them the benefit of the doubt in incidents, but the police have the same percentage or higher of racists, rapists, and violent offenders as the public. Down in the States, the numbers are way higher. And you are not the only bunyak here,
  3. At last count, his turnover rate was 85%- the worst in presidential history by far. Good thing he had "the best people, the smartest people", otherwise it would be worse.
  4. Alberta, B.C. And Saskatchewan See COVID-19 Cases Increase Don’t call it a second wave, but COVID-19 cases are starting to creep back up in Western Canada. The increase — particularly cases among young people — is setting off alarm bells for health officials there. Alberta saw 86 new COVID-19 cases on Tuesday, the most cases in a single day in over two months, and 82 new cases Wednesday. And B.C. and Saskatchewan have both seen uncomfortably larger than usual case rates in recent weeks. On Tuesday, Alberta chief medical officer Dr. Deena Hinshaw said she was worried people have grown complacent. “This pandemic has been a long haul. And I worry that Albertans may be starting to tune the messages out. It can seem like old news, and many are tired of hearing this information,” she said. “We are concerned about the recent rise in cases we are seeing, also of concern is the younger age of people infected with the virus.” More than half of all COVID-19 cases confirmed in Alberta in the past two weeks are people under the age of 40, and 30 per cent of the total new cases haven’t been linked to existing cases. Hinshaw said the recent uptick in cases is a reminder that even though the province has been in various reopening phases since mid-May, people must remain vigilant by adhering to social distancing, washing their hands and wearing masks when necessary. “This is a reminder that COVID-19 can spread quickly and cases can rise rapidly if we don’t all do our part,” she said. B.C. also seeing rise. https://www.huffingtonpost.ca/entry/alberta-coronavirus-second-wave-bc_ca_5f0f80e0c5b619afc3fcc217?ncid=other_trending_qeesnbnu0l8&utm_campaign=trending
  5. Donald Trump Is At War With COVID-19 Science The ongoing pandemic shows just how dangerous, and deadly, his continued rejection of science and expertise can be. At a roundtable at Louisiana State University on Tuesday, Vice President Mike Pence paused to make what he clearly felt was a vital point. “To be very clear,” he said, “we don’t want CDC guidance to be a reason why people don’t reopen their schools.” In other words, schools and universities, which the Trump administration is pushing to rapidly reopen despite surging coronavirus infections in many states, need not heed the advice of scientists at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the nation’s premier public health agency, as they reopen amid an ongoing pandemic that has killed more than 136,000 people in the U.S. https://www.huffingtonpost.ca/entry/trump-covid-19-science-war_n_5f0f550ec5b65426947a72d4?ri18n=true
  6. The world should pray that this is Trump's career after next election- flogging products on TV.
  7. America Is on Track for a Million Coronavirus Cases a Day, and at Least 800,000 Deaths, by the End of 2020 Until we have effective and safe medications, a proven vaccine and better testing, our best shot at getting control would be to again close many businesses and activities. If someone had suggested five months ago that we would be seeing more than 3 million cases and 135,000 COVID-19 deaths in the U.S. by mid-July, I wouldn’t have believed it. But now it’s distinctly possible that, five months from now, half of all Americans could have been infected with SARS-CoV-2, and more than 800,000 Americans may die in this extraordinary outbreak. That is what many of our most prominent public-health experts now expect. Could their projection models be off base? Maybe. But don’t count on it. As bad as the health consequences, disruptions, restrictions, and fear of the last five months have been, things could get a whole lot worse.

  8. When the season restarts in November, Chevy is going to make some very interesting moves. Roslovic and Niku shouldn't sign long term housing leases.
  9. Now, if only we could get one of these to kill the big rodent in the White House.
  10. His lawyers have said they will do that as long as they possibly can.

  12. Trump-endorsed GOP congressman charged with three counts of felony voter fraud minutes before debate Steve Watkins, an honorary co-chair of Trump's re-election campaign, allegedly used a UPS store address to vote. Rep. Steve Watkins, R-Kansas, was charged with three counts of felony voter fraud and a misdemeanor after an investigation into his vote in a 2019 local election. Watkins, a first-term congressman, was charged with voting without being qualified, interference with law enforcement by providing false information and unlawful advance voting. Shawnee County District Attorney Mike Kagay, a fellow Republican, announced the charges Tuesday about 30 minutes before a televised debate between Watkins and his primary challengers. The congressman was also charged with a misdemeanor charge for failing to notify the DMV that he had changed his address. Watkins, who was endorsed by President Donald Trump and is an honorary co-chair of the Trump re-election campaign, denied the allegations. Watkins, who won his 2018 race by just 0.8 percentage points in a district Trump carried by 19 points, faced the scrutiny of the Federal Election Commission scrutiny in an investigation into whether his father, Steve Watkins Sr., illegally funneled money into his campaign through his daughters, a contractor and the contractor's wife. https://www.salon.com/2020/07/15/trump-endorsed-gop-congressman-charged-with-three-counts-of-felony-voter-fraud-minutes-before-debate/
  13. Trump ‘Getting Involved’ in Case Against Viral Gun-Toting St. Louis Couple, Says Governor President Trump will be “getting involved” in the case against a white St. Louis couple who went viral after a photograph showed them pointing guns at a group of Black Lives Matter demonstrators passing outside their mansion last month, Missouri Gov. Mike Parson said late Tuesday. Mark and Patricia McCloskey are under review for criminal charges and St. Louis Police Chief John Hayden confirmed Tuesday that he’s applied for unspecified warrants related to the case. Meanwhile, CNN reports St. Louis Circuit Attorney Kim Gardner has said Trump and Parson “came after her” for investigating the case and are “spreading misinformation and distorting the truth.” Parson, a Republican, said he’s spoken with Trump about the case and the president “doesn’t like what he sees and the way these people are being treated.” Parson said Attorney General Bill Barr “was represented on the call,” and that he thinks the president and Barr “are going to take a look” at the McCloskey case. In an interview clip posted by Townhall on Tuesday, Trump defended the McCloskeys, saying: “I understand somebody local, they want to prosecute these people. It’s a disgrace.” https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-getting-involved-in-case-against-viral-gun-toting-st-louis-couple-says-governor?ref=home (Trump may be demented but he is consistent)
  14. These range north riight into the Silver Heights area as well.
  15. Desperate action by a completely incompetent administration
  16. Damn right, we did. It was surreal and I remember thinking that the slaughter cannot keep going like this.
  17. How about "The Edmonton Ookpiks"? (Blast from the past reference, but I kinda like it)
  18. As they were prostrating themselves before the demi-god. Important detail.
  19. Its not that they coyotes were seen- they were engaging in stalking people and dogs, which is a clear danger signal. They are going to have to be thinned out but they are very intelligent.
  20. Trump’s unraveling: Mental health experts explain why the next 4 months could be really dangerous Donald Trump on Friday commuted the sentence of his crony, Roger Stone. As Mitt Romney tweeted, “Unprecedented historic corruption: an American president commutes the sentence of a person convicted by a jury of lying to shield that very president.” So the president of the United States takes action to help his buddy, a convicted felon, but he cannot take decisive steps to combat the coronavirus pandemic and save lives. This is an act of corruption of the highest order. And this is an example of Trump’s mental disorder and a stark preview of his unraveling over the next four months leading up to the November election. Heading to the November election, Trump’s mental disorder will continue to unravel in the face of mounting pressures and stress. Now, Trump has found a new foil and is attacking Anthony Fauci, a highly respected public health expert. Dr. Fauci has served in five presidential administrations. He relies on data and science. Trump trying to discredit Dr. Fauci is a desperate attempt to blame him for Trump’s own catastrophic handling of the deadly pandemic. And it is another reflection of the gravity of his mental disorder. Unstable and Unraveling What we are seeing in plain view is a narcissistic and antisocial president who is unstable and unraveling daily. He is faced with falling poll numbers, a ferocious and ignored pandemic, an economic recession that he caused, a damaging tell-all book by his niece and defeats by the Supreme Court. Trump’s responses: rants, tweets, lies, whining, conspiracy theories, threats, scapegoating, corruption, feeling victimized, stubbornness. The list goes on and on. Since taking office, Trump’s mental disorder has been in full display. Story after story has been written about his grandiose view of himself; his 19,000 lies to the American people, his bullying, his vindictiveness, his unprecedented breaking of norms, his reckless behavior, his total lack of empathy, his use of projection, his refusal to accept responsibility for his actions and his corruption. All combined, these symptoms and characteristics and behaviors constitute a mental disorder that is serious and debilitating. And the only way to change a personality disorder is with ongoing treatment, especially psychotherapy. Cognitive Issues, Too Added to his personality pathology is the strong likelihood of Trump’s cognitive decline. His vocabulary range has narrowed. His abstract thinking is limited. His reasoning is shallow. He is unfocused. He has difficulty processing complex information. His decision-making is impaired. His judgment is poor. He often appears listless and apathetic. He repeats simple words and phrases over and over. He cannot shift and adapt. His gait can be abnormal. He had trouble drinking a glass of water with one hand. Trump’s cognitive decline could be reflective of dementia; such cognitive problems gradually get worse, not better. Heading to the November election, Trump’s mental disorder will continue to unravel in the face of mounting pressures and stress. He will become increasingly erratic, unstable and desperate. His display of power and corruption may not be hidden any longer. He will take great measures to suppress voter turnout. He will incite racism and a culture war. He will blame and scapegoat others. He will engage in escalating rants, tweets, name-calling, accusations, overt threats, projections, bullying, lies, gaslighting, triangulation, obstruction and whining. His thinking, reasoning, decision-making and judgment will continue to wane. The next four months will be unnerving and unsettling for sure. Trump is unraveling before our eyes. Alan D. Blotcky, Ph.D., is a licensed clinical psychologist in private practice in Birmingham, Ala. He is clinical associate professor, Department of Psychology, University of Alabama at Birmingham. John M. Talmadge, MD, is clinical professor of psychiatry, The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. He is also Senior Medical Advisor, The Center for BrainHealth at The University of Texas at Dallas. https://www.alternet.org/2020/07/trumps-unraveling-mental-health-experts-explain-why-the-next-4-months-could-be-really-dangerous/ (Trump is more than halfway there already, and will likely resort to Rx's to cope)
  21. What took them so long? This was common knowledge 3 years ago. Yes, yes, I know....he's the Crotch-grabber in chief.
  22. Trump stuns observers as his press conference goes off the deep end: ‘Self-destruction of the president’ President Donald Trump clearly misses holding rallies filled with thousands of his fawning supporters hanging on his every self-aggrandizing word. So on Tuesday, at a press event ostensibly staged to discuss his new executive order withdrawing recognition of Hong Kong as independent from China, he decided to indulge himself by launching into a meandering campaign-style monologue for the reporters in attendance. He leaped from topic to topic, sometimes in a single run-on sentence, and often failed to complete thought. He took aim at his election opponent, former Vice President Joe Biden, attacking a laundry list of the Democrat’s policies that he twisted and distorted. Recalling a campaign theme he has long ignored, Trump called out Biden’s son, saying: “Where’s Hunter?” And he returned to many of his favorite topics, such as immigration. He boasted of his relationship with Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador and warned that a President Biden would tear down the wall he has started to build on parts of the U.S.-Mexico border. “Probably never been a time when candidates are so different,” Trump said. There was no consistent thread or argument to his ramblings, aside from his own supposed greatness. It was pure stream of consciousness, supplemented by factoids apparently printed on notes on his lectern. He claimed to be the defender of African Americans at one moment because he favors school choice, but then slipped into attacking low-income housing and saying he’d preserve the suburbs — an unsubtle code for protecting white neighborhoods. https://www.alternet.org/2020/07/trump-stuns-observers-as-his-press-conference-goes-off-the-deep-end-self-destruction-of-the-president/
