It would be awesome, but unlikely. If Faux news weren't praising or lying about Trump, they would have nothing at all to present.

Had a quick peek at 3downnation's projected CFL draft options for the Bombers. looks like it might not be a complete waste of time this season after all.

TRUMP TURNS ON FAUX NEWS President Donald Trump demanded an "alternative" to Fox News over the weekend as he accused the right-leaning network of disseminating Democratic talking points "without hesitation or research." The president publicly called out some of his favorite targets at the conservative cable channel, including former Speaker of the House Paul Ryan, R-Wisc., who is on the board of Fox News' parent company. The president smeared the former GOP vice presidential nominee as a "RINO," or Republican in name only. https://www.salon.com/2020/04/27/trump-demands-an-alternative-to-fox-news-as-he-accuses-the-network-of-spreading-misinformation/

Nobody loves and appreciates Drumpf like he does.

GOP Candidates Advised To Not Defend Trump The Republican Party has seemingly given up on defending President Donald Trump’s widely criticized response to the COVID-19 pandemic and is now advising its Senate candidates to instead put the blame on China. Politico reports that the National Republican Senatorial Committee is making attacks on China the centerpiece of its efforts to deflect blame for the crisis, while at the same time trying to paint Democrats as being “weak” on China. In a memo sent out to Senate candidates, the committee says that prospective senators should praise Trump’s China travel ban, but should otherwise avoid getting into a debate about how he’s handled the crisis. “Don’t defend Trump, other than the China Travel Ban — attack China,” states the memo, which also describes COVID-19 as “a Chinese hit-and-run followed by a cover-up that cost thousands of lives.” https://www.alternet.org/2020/04/national-gop-senatorial-committee-memo-warns-candidates-dont-defend-trump-on-pandemic-response/

The good news is that the number of patients in intensive care and the deceased has remained static.

It occurs to me that by and large, the vast majority of Canadians have come together during this crisis, but the exact opposite is true for Americans. The divisions that have always been there just under the surface have boiled to the surface and, from where I sit, it appears that a civil war is possible, fomented by a desperate Trump and GOP. I have no doubt that he will be quite willing to sacrifice tens or hundreds of thousands of people to stroke his ego.

America is poised to surpass 1,000.000 COVID19 cases before day's end today. And Trump will do a victory lap that his measures are working oh so well.

A renowned psychotherapist assesses Trump: Q: What do you think Donald Trump will do if, shortly before Nov. 3, it appears clear that he is going to lose the election? Rather than making a prediction as to Trump’s specific actions, it is more helpful to describe the type of actions he will take. Rather than trying to say, “This is the move he’ll make.” Like in a relationship, Donald Trump is the abuser. He is the husband or father who is abusing his partner or children or other relatives. The American people are like a woman who is leaving her abuser. She tells her abuser, “That’s it! I am done with you!” She has her keys in hand and is opening the door of the house or apartment to finally leave. What happens? The democidal maniac Donald Trump will attack us, badly. Make no mistake. Donald Trump is going to find a way to attack and cause great harm to the American people if he believes that he will lose the 2020 election. https://www.alternet.org/2020/04/leading-psychotherapist-breaks-down-the-4-components-of-trumps-malignant-narcissism-and-explains-the-presidents-addiction-to-destruction/

This not about US politics, but Britain. Friday, the Tory-dominated parliament refused a 1% pay raise for nurses but instead gave themselves a 2.8% raise. Well done Boris, well done. Jolly good, I say.

Heavy on dairy products, no doubt.

Well, it does relate to business during the pandemic.....

Methinks the lady doth protest too little.

I don't think he would do that directly. He would probably delay indefinitely, as he has done with some of his appointments, where he "temporarily" appointed people so that he did not have to have them confirmed by hearings.

Obviously, her ethics are malleable enough to countenance Trump's stupidity and incompetence, even if it means people are going to die as a result of it.

If you are thinking that the GOP and Trump have any desire to obey the law and/or American constitution, the events of the past few months ought to have shown you otherwise. He has already spoken of dismissing both houses in order to force through appointments, something never never done before, ignored the emoluments rules and has openly conspired with foreign governments to affect elections. All he needs do is dismiss both houses, declare an emergency, and postpone the election by fiat. Not a big step, given his actions.

Biden predicts Trump will try to postpone US election Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden has predicted that US President Donald Trump will try to postpone the country’s November election in an attempt to win. ”Mark my words, I think he is gonna try to kick back the election somehow, come up with some rationale why it can’t be held,” Biden said during an online fundraiser on Thursday. The 77-year-old former vice president said it is “the only way he thinks he can possibly win.”Six months before US voters head to the polls, Trump’s mind is already in election mode. https://www.alternet.org/2020/04/biden-predicts-trump-will-try-to-postpone-us-election/

As I predicted two weeks ago, Trump's ego would not allow him to play second fiddle to anyone and he would fade out of the picture when he did not be awarded the adulation he desperately seeks. This is probably the result of never had a working relationship with his father who was much as Trump is now- distant, self-absorbed and essentially amoral. He will now devolve into recriminations and lashing out in increasingly volatile ways. He will need to try to motivate his fallowers to threaten and intimidate anyone who dares to criticize or oppose him. He will experience depression which he will externalize and displace.

Only if it means they will go down with Trump. I would not put it past the GOP to throw Trump under the bus if polls show a massive loss of seats. Right wingers are all about themselves and their interests.

THE WHITE HOUSE GOT CAUGHT LYING AGAIN: 497 Thursday night, after a completely farcical coronavirus press briefing from President Donald Trump, the White House put out a transcript of the event that falsely showed Dr. Deborah Birx supporting one of his ridiculous ideas. By Friday morning, the White House was forced to issue a correction of its transcript showing that, in fact, the coronavirus response coordinator had shot down the president. https://www.alternet.org/2020/04/the-white-house-was-just-forced-to-issue-a-correction-after-if-falsely-said-dr-birx-agreed-with-trumps-ludicrous-idea/

Not so long as Trump's actions reinforce their sense of victimization or reward them financially. After all, God arranged for Trump to be president, although you you make a strong argument it was an evil influence.

Bombers have an embarrassment of talent on the O-line, and if there is the right offer plus a desirable player available at the time, Walters is smart enough to pull the trigger on a deal.

Trump's personality will not allow him to not be the center of his insane circus for long.
