Another nail in the Lions' coffin.

Yup. One more TD like the first two and the game would be over.

Lions are gonna need treatment for group PTSD.

And the floodgates open!!!

Gonna be a slobber-knocker!

God does have a sense of humour.

Obviously, none of them are the prince who has been offering to send me money for so long.

Initial reports indicate a death by overdose. Damn the quality control of those dealers.

If they have any smarts, that would be part of any plea deal.

'I want to pull the lever': Trump supporters issue violent new threats against Pence "Extremist" supporters of thrice-indicted ex-President Donald Trump are reigniting the January 6th, 2021 rallying cry to "hang Mike Pence" on a right-wing digital forum, Rolling Stone reported on Wednesday. "Chilling calls for violence against the former vice president were rising to the top of the comments thread" on TheDonald.win following United States Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith's four-federal-felony-count Tuesday indictment of Trump for allegedly conspiring to subvert American democracy, according to Rolling Stone's Tom Dickinson and Jana Winter. TheDonald.win, Dickinson and Winter noted, "became a hub of plotting for the unrest at the Capitol, and a place where members of the then-Trump administration monitored their success in firing up the base." NEXT TARGET: Mark Meadows who has apparently "flipped hard" on Trump. Witness protection program coming up?

That's gonna hurt the Als- he was far and away their biggest offensive threat last game.

Feds Executed Search Warrant On WWE Boss Vince McMahon, Company Says Vince McMahon, the boss of World Wrestling Entertainment who recently re-joined the company’s board following sexual misconduct allegations, had his home searched by federal authorities. McMahon was also served with a federal grand jury subpoena last month, the WWE disclosed Wednesday. The company noted that no charges have been filed yet. McMahon returned to the board of the WWE several months after he was ousted for allegations of sexual misconduct.

I think you underestimate the amount of diseased minds in the American right wing and their willingness to invoke violence and threats of violence when they do not get their way. There is no middle ground for many of these. In sociology, we were told that once about 15% of a given group has reached a consensus of dissent, that group is de facto no longer a coherent entity and inevitably fractures. I suspect that the individuals given to violence to gain their ends in the USA has reached and even exceeded that number.

The Cons will revel in this and try to make hat from it. And as an observant Catholic, he cannot really divorce- just separate.

Capitol Police issue shelter in place order for US Senate buildings over possible active shooter U.S. Capitol Police are asking anyone inside a U.S. Senate building to shelter in place over an unconfirmed report of a possible active shooter. “If you are inside the Senate Buildings, everyone inside should be sheltering in place as the report was for a possible active shooter. It should be noted that we do not have any confirmed reports of gunshots,” the Capitol Police said via social media. Our officers are searching in and around the Senate Office Buildings in response to a concerning 911 call. Please stay away from the area as we are still investigating. We will continue to communicate with the public here.” MSNBC’s Garrett Haake on-air stressed also there were no reports of shots fired, and says some staffers were escorted out of the building by Capitol Police, who had “guns drawn.”

Given the deep divisions within American society at present and how hard many public figures are working to exacerbate this, I am not optimistic that Trump and his co-conspirators will receive much beyond a token slap on the wrists. I fear we are seeing the end of a functional democracy in America.

Just Oscar Meyer.

Top Trump DOJ Official Was Prepared To Use Insurrection Act To Stay In Power Jeffrey Clark signaled he was ready to overthrow the government amid “riots in every major city,” according to the latest indictment against the former president. Jeffrey Clark, a former top Justice Department official under Donald Trump, was prepared to use the Insurrection Act to stay in power despite Trump’s loss in the 2020 presidential election, according to Tuesday’s federal indictment of the former president. The indictment reveals a stunning Jan. 3, 2021, exchange between Clark, who is referred to as Co-Conspirator 4, and deputy White House counsel Patrick Philbin. Philbin had previously warned Clark in December that “there is no world, there is no option in which you do not leave the White House [o]n January 20th.” He made the point again on Jan. 3 in an effort to dissuade Clark from assuming the role of acting attorney general under a fraudulent Trump presidency. Philbin warned Clark that if Trump tried to stay in office despite no evidence of widespread fraud in the 2020 election, there would be “riots in every major city in the United States.” Clark replied, “Well, [Phibin], that’s why there’s an Insurrection Act.” The Insurrection Act, originally enacted in 1792, empowers the president of the United States to deploy the military domestically in certain cases, like suppressing civil disorder or rebellion. Tuesday’s indictment accuses Clark of having “worked on civil matters and who, with the Defendant, attempted to use the Justice Department to open sham election crime investigations and influence state legislatures with knowingly false claims of election fraud.”

Silk purse, sow's ear and all that.

Who needs to give a hoot about which gender someone says they are? Apart from sports, it a waste of breath. We have so many other pressing issues facing us- climate change, crumbling infrastructure, healthcare, rising extremism, whether Poilievre wears glasses or not and so forth.

Trump has promised that, when re-elected, he will pardon everyone associated with the 1/6 attemppted coup as well as anyone convicted in the unfair prosecution of himself. He has even mused that he could pardon himself. The MAGAts are having wet dreams imagining this.

Cheap, renewable, non-poluting energy has a potential dark side. Whenever automotive fuels become cheaper, the size of new vehicles sold go up. When heating costs go down, the sales of insulation go down. We humans are incredibly self-serving short-sighted creatures.
